The wardens stopped a larg-e num
ber of ears that were traveling acro.-s
the bridge and found that tht.e was
a very I urge- number of the drivers'
and occupants of tlie ear.- that had
been out hunting without securing
the necessary licence. Tinier the
operation f t he new law the wardens
took possession of the guns of the
luckless hunters and the same as
well in cases where they had any
in their possession.
One of the ears stopped was found
to have a fine ymins pic: concealed
beneath the seat of the car and which
was discovered to have been shot
out on the Platte bottom by the hunt
ers without the knowledge or con -
sent of th
owner and loaded into

the wardens of the pig;,
proceeded back to the
farm near where they had shot th
pig and proceeded to make settle

ho?.
The wardens w re operating both
here and at Louisville and as the
result cf their activities they se
cured a large array of violators of
th" frame law as well as unearthing
one driver of an auto who was with
out a drivers license.
At the two places there were sev
enty car.? stopped and 201 hunters
found who had a frame baa: of 1.103
rabbits shot here in Cass county.

The wardens who were conduct

This morning the county court
wrs crowded with the various hunt
ers that had ben gathered into the
dragnet of the game wardens, there
being fourteen against whom com
plaint was filed and these with their
friends made a very formabh- court
room full of visitors. The hearings
took practically the forenoon and a
part of the early afternoon.
P. L. Wright of Louisville received
a fine of .25 and costs this covering
the possession of a turtle dove. Jack
ar.d James Ore sham of Omaha were
each fined $15 and costs for hunt

to pay the same were reman: It ! to
the county jail. F. E. Wmetz was
also given a fine of $1." for no hunt

known baseb;.Jl player cf Omaha,
who was charged with the posses
sion of two pheasants received a fine
of ?25 with an additional ?lo for
each bird, this being set ''' the law.
Th other cases are being disposed
of this afternoon in the court.
MANY SIGHTSEERS HERE
The fine weather conditions that
prevailed Sunday brought many here
from counties in this part of Nebras
ka as well as western Iowa to vi-it
the new Missouri river bridg", d -spite
thf poor rj tl facilities that
exist in getting, j and from the
bridge. The bridge had a stream of
travel over it the greater part of the
day and everyone was delighted with
teh fine span that now crosses the
river and makes travel by car much
more pleasant and saving a long dis
tance in going to Omaha or Nebraska
City to cross the river. The late af
ternoon visitors suffered r.ome in
convenience when the roadway that
had been used was closed off and
made necensary u-;ing another route
over Wintersteen hill and which had
a
unrulier of verv bad places in It.
The
road work, however, has
been
.rino- r.ti verv nicelv the past we
k
of good weather and this problem
will sr on be settled with the com
pletion of the grading, the smoothing
up and surfacing of the highway and
the placing of the guard rail adong
the curves that are very numerous
along thi3 very picturesque and
scenic drive.

Residence of Leroy Elliott in South
Portion of the City Is Burn
ed to the Ground
The residence in the extreme south
south part of the city, occupied by
the Leroy Elliott family was burned
to the ground l-.-.te Saturday evening
and bnt for the fact that neighbors
discovered the blaze and aroused Mr.
Elliott and son, Everett, who were
alone at the house, they too would
have 1 st their lives in the blnr.e as
they had to rlee from the room where
they were sleeping, with the brands
from the blazing roof falling in the
room.
The fire was thought to have ori
ginated from the chimney and early
in the evening shortly after 7 o'clock
a small place was burned in the roof
near the chimney and which was dis
covered and put out :y i.lr. Kino't
and his son. They had remained at
the home and kept a constant watch
for anv further outbreak of fire and
at ::io they had retired, only to be
aroused shortly after 11 o'clock by
the calls of neighbors and to dis
cover the roof of the house in a
Ma-e.
With the aid of the neighbors and
those first on the scene, some of
the effects from two of the rooms
were saved, but the personal effects
oi the. f.ti-.ilj .re larg. 1 Je:tr yil
in the blare.
The residence is beyond the pro
tection of the city water system and
the blaze had progressed so rapidly
that the use of chemicals on the fire
was u.-ei-ss nad the structure was
entirely destroyed and only a heap
of glowing embers was left in a
few hours after the blaze was first
discovered shooting up over the roof
of the house.
The house and contents were par
tially insured but this will not cover
the l"is to the Elliott family in their
household effects?

the County Court as Result of
Visit of Wardens
m
From Tuesday's DalYy
The visit here of the representa
tives of the state game warden's of
fice on Sunday resulted in a very
neat sum being paid over in fines
and costs in the various cases that
were developed as the result of the
checkup of hunters and out of 201
hunters interviewed by the wardens
eight were found to have violated the
game laws in some manner and one
person unearthed, that had failed to
comply with the state law requiring
the driver of a motor vehicle to have
a license.
The long stream of protests over
the reckless practice of hunters from
the larger places visiting the country
side here on Sundays and making
life a nightmare to the farmers, re
sulted in the coming of the wardens
and who made a check of the hunters
from the cities by having a watch
kept on th bridges over the Platts
mouth and Louisville bridges over
the Platte river.
The list of the fines levied under
the state law for various viaolations
in the court were as follows:
Jack and James Griham of Oma
ha, were given fines of $15 and costs
each tor failure to have a license and
also made a restitution tor a hog
that they had shot at the William
Hunter farm west of this city. These
two men were sent to jail in failure
to pay the fine.
Orval M. Goodman, fined $5 and
costs for driving a car without a
license.
II.' Stevens of Omaha, possession
of two pheastans. shot out of season.
$?." and costs and ?10 each for the
birds.
A. U. Barton, Omaha, $15 and
costs for no hunting license.
Art Dyke, Omaha, possession of
two pheasants, shot out of season,
f 25 and costs and $10 for each bird.
Frank E. Xemetz, $15 and costs
for no hunting license.
C. L. Wright. Louisville, one tur
tle dove shot out of season, $25 and
costs and $10 for the bird.
The total of the costs and fines
was 196.05 and which was a very
costly venture for the hunters for
their Sunday invasion of the farm
ing communities.
ENJOY CHRISTMAS PARTY
The Riverview club members and
families enjoyed Christmas evening
at the pleasant home of Mr. and
Mrs. Asa Potts.
The home was nicely decorated, a

Mr. Stander is a successful busi
ness man. He own3 about 10 thou
sand acres cf land and in addition
manages a hardware-furniture and
real estate business. While his vo
cation has brought him in a con
siderable fortune, his avocation has
mad0 definite demands on that for
tune. When finances are running
low in any religious or philan
thropic or educational activity in
connection with the Methodist
Episcopal church. Mr. Stander can
be counted upon to go into his pocket
and quietly and unobtrusively m-et
the deficit. On a conservative estim

5 0 thousand dollars along those lines.
It is doubtful if any Nebra.-kan
knows his Sunday school lessons us
well as Mr. Stander does. He is never
separated from these lessons. He
reads and intreprets them in his lei
sure moments, so as to be tne '..etiei
prepared to give a vivid exposition
each Sunday.
Nor does Mr. Stander's activity
limit itself to this teaching. He
travels extensively attending state,
sectional and national and interna
tional Sunday school meetings. In
19 04 he made a trip to the Pahs
tine with a group of Sundny school
workers. So well had he sH;-1id Ms

had visualized in advance just what
ithat land of religious antiquity would
look like. He spent three weeks in
Palestine, and 17 days in Jersualem
and so zealouslv did he expiur and
; inquire during those 17 days, that
the became as familiar with that city
as with his own town of Louisville.

j months. During his life time Mr.
'Stander has visited 22 foreign eoun
; tries and has attended Sunday school
meetings in 4S states of the union.
