Louisville was reached shortly af

large crowd in the up-and-coming

they arrived at about 9:15. they

the community auditorium a visit.
The auditorium at Nehawka is truly
a fine building and a wonderful ex

The Legionnaires from here were in
terested in being shown through the.
three-story structure that provides
accommodations for public gather
ings of all kinds and a meeting hall
for the various lodges of the town on i
the third floor. They were also in-5

small pry bar that he had purchased
in Omaha. He had then gained his
entrance into the hall of the build
ing by removing the moulding
around the glass of the door and re- '
moving the glass. On entering the
office of the superintendent he had
noticed the safe and as the door
seemed loose he decided to try and
