Dovey is Acquitted by Jury Saturday Charged With Having; Embezzeled Note Former Banker Is Freed of Charge by Jury From Monday's Pally The jury in the case of the State of Nebraska vs. George O. Dovey, late Saturday evening returned a verdict in the district court here ac quitting Mr. Dovey of the charges that had been preferred against him and closing a case that has been on trial since Thursday. The state had filed charges of em- bezzelnient, larceny as bailee and fraud against the defendant, basing action on a note made by H. M. Soennichsen for the sum of $3,000 which is was alleged by the state, Mr. Dovey had converted to his own use and which note later came into the possession of Mrs. Allie Adams, who later started a civil action for the collection of the note from Mr. Soennichsen but in which case the jury found for Soennichsen as hav ing received no consideration in ex change fur the note. Following the civil action complaint on the charges luade above were filed against Mr. Dovey and on which he was tried. The defendant contended that the note was valuless and that he had not sold the note or disposed of it or received any consideration for the $3,000 note, that it had been given Mrs. Adams with other notes to have her examine as to collateral for an indebtedness owing to her from the First National bank, that she had retained the note against the wishes of the defendant and that he received no consideration for the note. The defense also contended that the acts were not those of the defendant as an individual but acting in the mat ter as the agent of the First National bank of which he was at the time cashier. The case has attracted much at tention in the community and the outcome of the case .awaited with a great deal of interest by the residents and the verdict in favor of the defen dant brought a g'-eat deal of pleas ure to the friends of Mr. Dovey. FIND FOB PLAINTIFF In the case of Lydia Walton vs. A. J. Trilety, which was on trial In the district court Monday, the verdict given last night by the jury was for the plaintiff in the sum of $800. In this action the plaintiff, the owner of Lot 24 in Porter place, charged that the defendant, the agent of the plaintiff, had committed a breach of trust, alleging that when the place owned by the plaintiff was sold at sheriffs sale on February 2, lf29. that the defendant had pur chased the same at the price of $1,450. and further alleged that the defendant had on January 31, 1929, entered into a contract to sell the property to Clarence Henderson for the sum of $2,500. To the charges of the plaintiff the defendant claimed that the relation ship of agent on the part of the de fendant had been terminated in 1927 and that the defendant had so noti fied the plaintiff: that the sale of the property could not have been made by the plaintiff due to the necessity of financing the purchase price. The plaintiff in her action asked for a judgment of $1,050, the differ ence between the price paid at the sheriff's sale of the land and that at which it was alleged the property was sold to Mr. Henderson. STEEPLE JACK HERE Jack North, one of the most dar ing steeple jacks of the country, whose exploits in climbing build ings, flagpoles, smoke stacks has made him a well known figure in many of the large cities of the coun try, is in Plattsmouth and is pie paring to take up the work of plac ing lightning rods for protection on the large smokestack of the Burling ton railroad shops here. This stack, built a few years ago, is 2 30 feet in height and to carry on the work of placing the lightning rods, it re quires a steady nerve and not a little courage so that the work of Mr. North will be watched with interest as he climbs over the huge smoke stack with unconcern. This steeple jack thinks very little of a jab of this kind which would fill the aver age person with the greatest of ap prehension and feels that the climb ing of the stack here is all in the davs work.

MISHAPS OF GOLFING From Tuesday's Dally- That a man can educate his wife too well was aptly shown at the Country club last evening when one of the younger members of the golf club was compelled to suffer defeat at the hands of his own wife. The golfer, who has prided himself on his prowness on the greens started the round of the course with the bright hope of victory and little thinking that his wife had the true golfing eye and deadly aim that sent the little golf ball hurling toward the green while the husband requir ed many .shots to approach the green and to make the cup. This is a case that should discour age the remaining members of the golf club from training their better half in the gTeat Scot game and for their own good they should avoid taking on friend wife as an oppon ent. Being defeated by another's wife could be ascribed to gallantry. but when your own wife can put it over, well, it is just a case of the wife being too good at the game there can be no other explanation. This humiliating game was wit nessed by C. A. Rosencrans, the bar bering golfer and he is thinking of establishing a school for the benefit of husbands who are not so good at golf. MANLEY WINS GAME From Monday ta!ly Yesterday afternoon the Platts mouth Athletics staged a real exhibi tion of the national game of base ball at Manley when they played the fast and aggressive team of that place and in which the Manley team was the winner by the score of 8 to 7.
