POURED ROCK CREEK BRIDGE From Mon3ay' Dallj The paving force Operating SOUth I of this city, having completed their work to the Murray corner Saturday, put in the greater part o : jesterday pcuring the new concrete bridge over Rock creek a half mile south of the Murray corner. The concrete was mixed at the corner and hauled over the half mile of three weeks old pav- mg to the Dnage in aump irucns ana tbere poured into tne rorms in an ai- most continuous stream. This completes an unbroken stretch of paving from two miles north of the Murray corner to the curve at the Union corner. The paving contractors are now I moving their unloading equipment to Mynard and will operate both ways from there filling in the gap between the end of the paving on Chicago ave- nue in this city to connect up with the present north end, although it is quite possible the new angling road through the Wiles farms will be let go over until next Spring on account of the new grade necessary to con struct there, work on which has not yet been started. If this is carried over, there is ap proximately three miles yet to be paved this fall on the south end. On the north, the pavement be tween me lai'iatte corner and a short distance south of the Pappio bridge is open to travel, but is cov ered with dirt and very rough, while a detour into the field and over a narrow bridge is necessary at the drainage creek bridge a half mile south of the Pappio. A new concrete floor is being laid on this bridge. The north end pavers are unload ing at Fort Crook siding and pushing the work on north as rapidly as the weather will permit, with several miles yet to construct.

SURPRISE DINNER On the morning of Sunday, Octo ber 27th. the most casual observer pasing the home of Asa Potts near Plattsmouth would have noticed that something out of the ordinary was taking place there. It was the anniversary of Mr. Pott's fiftieth birthday and a large group of his neighbors, friends and relatives had gathered there to help him celebrate the event. He was somewhat surprised when returning from Murray at noon to find such a large group awaiting him. The day being an ideal one for such an occasion the birthday dinner was served out on the lawn and the writer believes that he has never seen a more glorious display of cul inary art. It reminded one of a state fair exhibit. As we have always un derstood that it pleases the ladies to the favor of the ladies. I do not know who came out the winner but i am sure all played their part hero ically when the dinner hour arrived. From a personal standpoint I consid- er it a miracle that-the doctor did (not have to come to my rescue after the fray was over. The following were present and unanimous in wishing Mr. Potts many happy birthdays to come: Mr. and Mrs. Dan Sudduth and children, Dorothy, Donald and Lloyd of Weeping Water; Mr. and Mrs Fred Grant and children, Gerald, Harold, Helen and Bobby of Elm- wood; Mr. John Pearsley, Platts mouth; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Mead and daughters, Evelyn, Lois and Florabel of Murra5r; Mr. and Mrs. W. S.

Court Revokes the License of a Drunken Driver Judge Duxbury Gives Thirty Days in Jail to Man Who Created Dis turbance Near Nehawka From "Wednesday's Daily This morning Frank Varner, the man who created so much excite ment at the Ed Murrav farm near Nehawka on Monday night, was ar raigned in the county court on the charge of operating an auto while n a state of intoxication, entering i plea of guilty to the charge. Judge Duxbury after hearing the plea and the recital of the facts in the case gave as the penalty a thirty day term in the county jail and also ordered that the prisoner turn over his drivers license to Sheriff Bert Reed that it might be sent in to the state department cf public works for cancellation under the new law which created the drivers license. This is the first license that has been revoked in this county since the law . became operative on Octo ber 1st and it is one of the means that the law takes to keep off the highway all drunken and reckless drivers who are a menace to them selves as well as the traveling pub lic. Mr. Varner stated to the court that his home was in Virginia and that be had been in the west doing farm work and was on his way to Okla homa when he ran' into trouble near the Murray farm when he was un able to drive the car on account of being intoxicated.

MAN IS RELEASED From Wednesdays Dally The stranger. Bob Strickler, ar rested last Friday night near the plant of the Plattsmouth Motor Co., and held here for several days under investigation, has been released from the custody of Sheriff Bert Reed, in whose care the man was placed Mon day after the discovery was made that he had secured an ax and con cealed it in the matress of his cot at the city jail.

UTr T 4. aLinugci uivexi oiiener lor lugui Ed Murray Farm Starts Fire in Bam While Drunk From Tuesday's Dally Last night at 10 o'clock Sheriff Bert Reed was called to the Ed Mur ray farm in the vicinity of Nehawka where a stranger, the worse for the effects of intoxicants had caused a great deal of excitement and had set fire to the barn on the Murray farm. On the arrival of the sheriff he found the man who gave the name of Ed Varner, in the custody of the Murray family to prevent the man damaging himself or the property on the farm. It seems that Varner was travel ing south on the road near the Mur- lay yiaic ttiiu luu ills uui jiilu me ditch and the members of the fam ily there had very kindly assisted in getting his car out of the ditch and the man started on his way southward where he stated he had a job of corn shucking awaiting him. A few moments later after the mm and the car had progressed a quar- ter of a mile he again got the car inta the ditch and this time the Murray family decided to let it re main as the man was apparently too much under the influence of liquor to make his way in the car on the wet and muddy roads. The mem bers of the Murray family were gathered in the house a short time later when they heard cries from the road and going out with lanterns discovered Varner himself in the ditch and in his condition being un- able to extricate himself, he prov- ing the old saying that a man may be down but not out, but in this case he was, to all intents and pur- poses out on his feet. 1 he man was finally dragged from the ditch and bore on his person a great deal of the rich Nebraska soil. It was decided that the best way to handle the case was to allow the man to sleep In the barn until he had re covered sufficiently to go on his 'way and accordingly Mr. Murray took him to the barn to repose, first searching the man for matches and securing what was thought to be all of the firemaking material that Varner possessed, but which later proved a mistake. A short time later, hearing a disturbance in the barn, Mr. Murray and family hurried out and discovered that Varner had someway held a match and proceeded prophets, the celestial announcement to build a fire in the feedway of the heralding this birth, and the recep barn in the straw that was liberal- tion of the "tidings of great joy" by ly scattered over this part of the the shepherds of their vigil. The sec barn, and had the fire gone on for ond part begins with Christ's actual a very few moments more it would ve gained such headway that it would have been impossible to check and would probably burned the barn, horses and the man that started the fire. The fire starting was the last blow that Mr. Murray could stand and to protect his property from the unwel come caller he summoned the sher iff and the man was brought on into this city to be locked up for safe keeping. HOLD OPENING MEETING From Tupso'ay'n EIt Yesterday afternoon the Fonten- elle chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution met at the home of Mrs. E. H. Wescott on high school hill in the opening session of the chapter for the fall and winter season and despite the unfavorable weather conditions that prevailed there was a very pleasing number of the members in attendance.
