COULDN'T KEEP THE ROAD
From Wednesday's Dally
Last night Officers LIbershal and
Pickrel were called out to south Lin
coln avenue where an auto driver
was reported in distress and on their
arrival there they found a man giv
ing the name of Lem Bates of Ne
braska City who was having a great
difficulty in trying to hold his car on
the highway and in order not tc
overtax the man the officers brought
him on into the city and lodged him
in the city lockup. Bates had start
ed to drive out the avenue, presum
ably headed for Nebraska City, but
mistook a ditch on the east side of
the road, near the Bach store, for
the highway, running his car intc
the ditch. Passing autoists assisted
in getting the Bates ca out of the
ditch and onto the highway and
again the driver started out only to
crash into a fence on the west side of
the roadway and here he remained
until the arrival of the officers. The
driver was apparently suffering from
an overload of the potent corn licker
that comes from the staple product
of our great state, feeling that with
the prospects for a bumper crop that
there was no need of the conservation
of the corn juice, had partaken freely
and with sad results.
This morning the matter was
brought up for hearing before Judge
A. H. Duxbury in justice court as
Police Judge Weber was ill at his
home and the court assessed a fine of
$10 and costs amounting to some $23
on the defendant. The court issued

prived of his license for a car for a
period of one years. The Otoe coun
ty authorities were notified of the
action of the court in regard to stop
ping the defendant from driving a
car.

A REAL OLD TIMER
Prom Wednesday's Dally
Byron Golding of this city is to
day celebrating hi3 fifty-fifth birth
day anniversary and also this same
date as a resident of Plattsmouth as
he was born here on September 14,
1872, and aside from several years
spent as a traveling representative of
a large wholesale house has made his
home in this city. The father
of Mr. Golding, Levi Golding. was
one of the pioneer residents of thi.-?
section of Nebraska as he first came

the little community had been platted
as a town and after spending a short
time here he left for other parts of
the west but again in 1862 came back
to this city and remained here as a
resident until his death a number of

reared and educated here in the local
schools and for several years after
leaving school he was engaged in the
work of a traveling salesman until
his hearing was affected and which
compelled him to give up this line of
work and he has since remained here
and has been quite successful fn his
business ventures here.
