Nebraska State Histori cal Society f ' r3" 3" our VOL. NO. XLTV PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1928. NO. 15 r fe Bridg e uver Missouri River Seems Assured Bill Passed U. S. Senate Yesterday ar.d Company Organized and Ready to Go on Project From Thursday's Bally The Ions: drmm c.f the citizens of i Plattsmouth, which has been the sub-i made a fiie hard to fight. The de ject of so much conversation iu the I partment was called und was able nast few vwirs. B..Pins n limit tn he i after considerable effort to get the realized with the passage of a bill by congress yesterday, authorizing the I'lattsmouth Bridge company to construct such a bridge. The passage of this bill is the re sult of the efforts of II. A. Schneider and Judge James T. Begley of this city, who have been working for the construction of a bridge at this point lor the past two years, and have sue ceeded in organizing the Plattsmouth Bridge company to handle the let ting of the contract. This company consists of some of the outstanding financial men of the state. It is in corporated under the laws of Dele- ware. Its directors consist of H. A Schneider. Plattsmouth. John W iov.Ic, contractor and President of Omaha Steel company, Omaha, Xebr., R. A. Leussler, financier and former vie1 president and general manager of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company, Omaha. Xebr.. Carl Vcgel. civil ar.d consulting engineer, Omaha. NVbr., Glenn H. Venrick, lawyer, Omaha, Xebr.. and James T. Begley, Plattsmouth. Xebr. The officers of the Plattsmouth Bridge company consist of the fol lowing: President H. A. Schnei der. Plattsmouth. Vice-President R. A. Leussler, Omaha. Secretary Glen Venrick, Omaha. Treasurer John W. Towle, Omaha. These with James T. Begley. Plattsmouth. and Carl Vogel of Omaha, constitute the board of direc tors. The Plattsmouth Bridge company intends io proceed at tmce with plans looking toward the construction of a bridge at this point. Of course the outcome depends on the preliminary work and the ability to finance the proposition. Already preliminary surveys have been made, engineers have made reports as to the location, and two sets of plans have been drawn for the presentation and ap proval of the War Department. The people of this community will not be asked to contribute any money toward the construction of the bridge. No stock will be sold, nor will any bonus be asked. The plan is to finance the project by means of a bond issue fro meastern financial interests, the bonds to be a first lien utxm the bridge and be repaid from the tells collect, with the company standing behind the matter financial ly. In older to secure this loan the company will be compelled to take a traffic survey and show sufficient traffic to justify such an investment. The bill passed by congress amply protects the public as to a free bridge, as it provides that the adjoining siates or any political subdivision thereof, may at any time acquire and take over the bridge by purchase or condemnation thereof. The construc tion of the bridge and the tolls col lected are regulated by the Secretary of War. and other safeguards are provided which provide for making the bridge free of tolls at any time the states desire to purchase trf; same, and also gives the states the right to purchase same and continue it as a toll bridge until it is paid for. The people of Plattsmouth realize that if this bridge is constructed it will be the biggest civic improvement that has ever come to our city, and they unanimously give their approv al and support to the Plattsmouth Bridge company in its efforts to give our city an outlet into Iowa trade territory. A bridge across the Mis souri river will mean the biggest boom for Plattsmouth since the com ing of the railroad. The citizens of this community are glad to know that the Platts mouth Bridge company will be a home company, composed of men of this city. Mr. Schneider has been an active bridge booster for years, and chairman of the bridge commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce. Judge Begley inaugurated the free bridge movement while president of the Chamber of Commerce and was vice president of the Interstate Bridge company a free bridge move ment of last year. He was a leader in securing the passage of the free bridge bill before the legislature last year over the opposition of the pow erful traction companies. He has been a tireless and consistent work er for a free bridge at this point, and it was through his efforts that the present bill was passed by con gress. Let all our citizens get behind the Plattsmouth Bridge company and pull for a bridge across the Missouri river, and thus mark the beginning of a larger and better Plattsmouth.

FIRE ON NORTH SIDE f From Thursday's Dally Yesterday afternoon the residents property on North 8th street, owned by T. S. Clifford, was greatly dam- ' aged by fire in the yard and where Mr. Clifford was burning leaves and . rubbish. The tire was not thought! dangerous by Mr. Clifford but a sud- den strong wind coming up whipped the blaze toward the house and in a few moments the lire was caught on the wooden siding and made a very rapid progress and fanned by the wind swept up the side of the house and under the rafters of the roof and fire subdued and saving the house from destruction, but the building was considerably damaged, the house was insured or not learned. Whether not was John P. Sattler Named for Mayor of the Citvia'tKi, I t he Masoni Resignation of Mayor C. A. Johnson from Democratic Ticket is Fill ed by the Committee. From Thursday's Dally The democratic city central com mittee met last evening at the office of J. A. Capwell. chairman of the committee, and took up the matter of the necessity of filling the vacancy tor mayor on the ticket occasioned by the necessity cf C. A. Johnson withdrawing from the race. The committee, while regretting the necessity of the withdrawal of Mr. Johnson, took prompt action in filling the vacancy as the final date of making the changes is at hand, and named for the office John P. Sattler, former mayor, and one of the active business men and heavy prop erty owners of the city. It is considered fortunate that Mr. Sattler was induced to accept the nomination, which he does at not a ittle personal sacrifice and at the earnest solicitation of a large num ber of the residents of the city who feel that a man of experience in the city affairs can be of great benefit in the office and with the ability of Mr. Sattler and his splendid efforts to ward the city welfare, the members of the committee and the citizens at large feel that they are- more than fortunate in Mr. Sattler taking the position. The outlook in the community is for the successful culmination of a number of civic plans and with Mr. Sattler to guide the handling of the citv affairs, there should be a general feeling of satisfaction that he has been induced to accept the nomina- ion for the office and to make the ace. The coming administration will have many hard problems to handle and will have to exercise a large measure of economy and the cutting down of all expenses possible in order to place the city government in bet ter shape and in this Mr. Sattler with his experience will be found a very valuable man on the job. The con ditions that have arisen have been no fault of the present city government, but they are there and must be met and if elected. Mr. Sattler will be found able to take care of the task of holding down the city expendi tures, as has been the general policy of Mayor Johnson. This vacancy in the office of mayor i3 the only one that the democratic committee has faced and their ticket otherwise remains intact with the nominations made at the city con vention. HITS WILD "BOOZE" From Thursday's liany This morning in the county court, J. P. Harrison, who was taken into custody Tuesday night at Eagle, was before the court to answer to the charge of having been in a state of intoxication, the defendant being in a very weakened condition as the re sult of his experience and having gone through a very close call from death. The defendant, who is traveling over the country arrived in Eagle on Tuesday night and fell into the com pany of a stranger whom he thought was a traveling man and they enjoy- ed "one little drink" together and later the man had disposed of a quan-lthe tity of liquor to Harrison, who took another drink and then passed out of j combination dance will be held, with From Saturday's Daily the picture. Harrison recalled noth-. music by Schreiner's orchestra, ofj Yesterdav afternoon a group of the ing more until he awoke here in Sher-tebr. City, and Pat Campbell and j friendg of jIrs Philip Hirz gathered iff Reed's nice homelike jail, and has Bill Iliner, two of the finest old-time iat her pleasant country home to en had two very severe attacks of sick-i callers in the country, right on the joy the day of qunting and which ness and which made necessary the use of a stomach pump to try and re vive him and which probably saved his life. The liquor that was drank evident ly was alcohol, such as is used, in autos and came close to being the last drink for the unfortunate man The associates of Mr. Harrison state that he was not addicted to drink and believe he was drugged and at least came close to making a grand finish of the affair. The court gave the defendant a fine of $25 and costs for the offense and which was produced and the man sent on his way. , j, Hold lasons Very Interest ing Session j Work : JIa-ter Mason DTee and wo in "la-ier mason -u.ee ami !

The delicious banquet was in the hands of the ladies and they won the lasting gratitude of the members of the fraternity for their contribu tion to this part of the evening en tertainment. A very clever feature of the even ing was the menu cards in which the P. M. was made outstanding, the past masters arranging this feature and in which the idea was carried out in a mout unique manner. During the dinner the Perfect Musicians .alias the Masonic male quartet composed of Frank A. Cloidt. Raymond Cook, U. C. MeClusky and R. W. Knorr, gave several num bers and pome of these selections were given in honor of the Past Masters, who responded in kind and gave some startling effects from a musical standpoint, the music used being by an unknown author, but proving a very enjoyable feature of the evening and in which all had a great deal of fun and pleasure. During the evening Mr. Andrews gave a very inspiring address on Masonary that all appreciated and will long remember, his subject. "When a Man is a Mason," being handled in a masterly and eloquent manner and one thnt gave all of the members of the order a much clearer and appreciative value of the real Masonary that the order has to give to its membership. The members of the visiting party from Brock were also called upon and Masyer Redfield of the Brock lodge spoke briefly and in a most pleasant manner of the work of the evening and the pleasant social features that were enjoyed. It was a late hour when adjourn ment came and all felt that while Plattsmouth lodge Xo. 6 has had many very enjoyable and inspiring gatherings, none was more so than this Past Masters presentation. . GOOD DANCE SMALL CROWD From Thursday's Dally The Legion dance last night was a record-breaker in two ways Herb Smith's orchestra proving one of the best ever booked 'in the new building and the crowd proving the smallest at any mid-week dance to date. The Herb Smith bunch axe there and over when it comes to putting out fine dance music and have been book ed for May 9th. when the Platts mouth Fire Department will sponsor a benefit dance. Their piano player, bass player, slide trombone player, drummer and Mr. Smith himself, on the banjo are all top-notchers, while the "sax" player is no slouch, either. The small crowd surely enjoyed the music and are loud in praise of the orchestra. Xot being well known here, it was but natural this booking would not attract a large attendance, although U i i..i.iii i mi the reputation they established will draw good on future bookings during i next few months. 1 I Saturday night the regular weekly! juu irom eany evening unui tne night hour.

Mr. Young yesterday had charge of one of the best sales that has ever been held in the state and which es tablished a record smashing price for grade cows, excelling any that has heretofore been held. In the sale Mr. Young was assisted by Frank Thorp of Grant. The sale was held at the farm of Earl Fletcher at Grant, Xebraska, and the offering of Ilolstein cattle that Mr. Fletcher had, made a great sale, Mr. Young and his assistant se curing an average of the whole herd of $186 per cow, none selling below ?157.50 and the top reaching $225. The sale of four weeks old heifer calves brought the price of $48 each and also was a fine, figure for the sale.

The long and active life of Mr. , rest and the friends, who are num bered b 1 more y by the thousands in Cass coun- hoping that he may have many ears in which to enjoy the , pleasures that his close confinement i to business has denied him. Since 1ST 4 Mr. Fetzer has, with the' exception of a very short period. made his home in Plattsmouth, and since 1882 has been a figure in the business life of the city. Joseph Fetzer is a native of the state of Wisconsin, where he was born December 22, 1854, a son of Godfrey and Rose Fetzer, early set tlers in the vicinity of Manitowoc, they coming to this country in 1S49 and helping settle that section of the young state of Wisconsin. In his boyhood days Mr. Fetzer was apprenticed to learn the shoemaker's trade, at that time all of the shoes being hand made and the small com munities called upon to supply their own need)s in the way of shoes. Learning his trade at the age of twenty years he was taken with a desire to follow his brother, Frank Fetzer, who had come a few months earlier to Xebraska and accordingly in November 1874, Mr. Fetzer came west and located at Plattsmouth, where he became interested in his work, being engaged here by Robert Sherwood for eight months in 1875 and later took short trips out over the country looking after shoemaking work and then ceturrving- to ply -his trade at the shop of Mr. Sherwood. In 1877 and 1878 Mr. Fetzer took a trip to Joplin, Missouri, where he followed his trade and in the early part of 1S78 returned to Plattsmouth where he was engaged in various shoe shops. It was in 1882 that Mr. Fetzer de cided to branch out for himself and accordingly he was given a portion of the room of one of the stores then in existence on lower Main street, and where his stock of goods was contained in the small display win dow. Later with the growth of busi ness he moved to where the present Wetenkamp building is located and then to the site where the Hartford coal offices are located, removing from that location to where the pres ent steam laundry is located, each time the business expanding and de manding better quarters and in 1891 Mr. Fetzer moved his now large stock of goods and repair work to the building now occupied by the Wain troub store. For the past twenty-five years the firm of Fetzer Shoe com pany has been located in the build ing where they now operate one of the largest exclusive shoe stores in this part of the state. Mr. Fetzer was married in this city in 1890 to Miss Mary Goos and who was with him until a few years ago, when she was called to the last rest. Of his immediate family there is one daughter, Mrs. Jack Patterson of this city and who has cared for the father in the last few years at the home in this city. To this good man and splendid citi zen the congratulations of the resi dents goes out on the completion of so many years in the business life of one community and his business and personal life has been an upright and worthy example to the residents here of what a real man should be at all times. In recognition of his long years Mr. Fetzer was presented today with a very beautiful basket of flowers, presented by the retail section of the chamber of commerce of this city.

The magic act of H. Huntington was something that is net often seen in a small entertainment, and was worthy of the leading stages of the country and presented in a clever manner by Mr. Huntington and" kept the cloest interest of the audience throughout. The clog dance given by Harry Matthews, was another feature of the evening program that was in a class by itself in this style of dancing and in which Mr. Matthews showed his ability and skill. The program was closed by the piano-vocal selection, "Call Out Your Songs" and which was given by Mrs. Millicent Blivens.
