NO. 53 no fill Gas Workers Run Against a Real Obstacle Pushing Casing Through Under Pav ing at Wiles Farm Takes Up Most of Two Days. From Thursday's Dally Fniith Bros., Fort Worth contract ors, who are accustomed to moving forward at the rate of about two miles a day with their work of laying the 24-inch gas mains for the Missouri Valley Gas company, ran up against a real obstacle yesterday that has held them at one spot for the great er part of two days. That obstacle was the laying of their lines in the water of an old creek bed across the Wiles farm and placing their tubing underneath the pavement on TJ. S. No. 75. Ordinarily, In passing under pav ing with their line they are permit ted to tunnel and then push the long welded sections through the hole. but due to the conditions existing at this point, which have already ne essitated providing a system of drainage along both sides of the pavement, the state highway depart ment has refused permission to cut through in any other way than to push the casing the total distance across the highway, some 64 feet, and this is the task that has proven the real "fly in the ointment," al though the water and repeated cave ins all along the course for a dis tance of nearly a mile have slowed up progress a great deal with other parts of the work. Paving project Engineer Schnitker has been on the job constantly to see that the requiremets of the state de partment are complied with. The casing being pushed through consists of four thirty foot lengths welded together Into one piece and sharpened at the front end. A great deal of force must be exerted to push it the necessary distance of 64 feet through the wet clay and gumbo at the ditch bottom level. After numer ous unsuccessful attempts yesterday afternoon, a night force was called j out and the work continued through out the night, with almost 30 feet of the distance still remaining at 7:30 this morning, when additional block and tackle equipment and winches were brought into play. Reports from the work this after noon are to the effect that the long 120-foot section was broken by the intense strain placed upon it by the tables and grappling devices and it has been necessary to weld the brok en section before the work could proceed. After the casing has been pushed through it must be cleaned out and then the line proper pushed through the casing. This is a precaution tak en at all state and federal highway and railway crossings, so that if a leak develops in that portion of the line the gas will escape through the vents provided at the ends of the casing instead of finding its way to the surface and perhaps be ignited by exhaust from passing auto or drop ping of live coals from the firebox in case of railroads. In such places the gas line itself is also welded into one unit, instead of being coupled with rubber gaskets. In fact across the greater part of this bottom, the contractors have resorted to welding in preference to coupling. To see the ease with which the powerful hoists lift four and five 30 foot lengths when welded together in one piece, one would think they could do pretty nearly anything, but the pushing of a section the distance required here, without any advance tunneling being permitted is anoth er thing to reckon with, as workmen on the job have learned. During the progress of the work at this point, the half-mile stretch of pavement has been closed, with a de tour around the old gravel route. A large crowd of spectators has been on hand most of the time last evening and today, seemingly enjoy ing seeing the workers laboring un der difficulties more than they did heretofore in watching them do their stuff with the clock-like precision that keeps the line going forward at the rate o' around two miles a day. Once they get through this low stretch the laying of the line on to the river will require only a few days at most. UNDERGOES OPERATION From Friday' Dally A message was received here to day by E. II. Schulhof announcing that his nephew. Jack Schulhof,Jr., had been suddenly taken with an at tack of appendicitis and had under gone an operation at the hospital at Los Angeles Thursday. The operation was just over as the message was sent and the condition or the patient was not fully determined. Mr. Schulhof who was formerly at Coun cil Bluffs in charge of the Piggly Wiggly store there, has for the past two years made his home in the west coast to which place the rest of the family removed some years ago. The many friends here will anxious ly await word from the west and trust that the young man may soon be on the highway to complete recovery. PROVES REAL ATTRACTION From Thursday's Dally The band concert last evening fea tured Anton Bajeck, well known ra dio and concert xylephone artist, of Sedalia, Missouri, who is here for a short stay and very graciously offer ed to aid in the concert given by his old time musical associates. Mr. Ba jeck has been heard very often from WOW and the radio station at Jeffer son City, Missouri, and it was a real pleasure to the friends and admirers to hear him again in person. The numbers given were popular song hits and very finely given and with artistic accompaniment by the entire band. Cases Against Greenwood Mar shal Dismissed Charges of Assault and Application for Peace Bond Are With drawn Yesterday. From Thursday's Dally The charges preferred by William M. Rouse of Greenwood against George II. Trunkenboltz, marshal at that place, charging in one action Mr. Trunkenboltz with assault with intent to injure and the other the ap plication for a bond to keep peace, have been withdrawn. The cases were to have been heard today by Judge Herman R. Schmidt at Murdock, but yesterday the com plaining witness, Mr. Rouse, filed his dismissal of the cases and the action was taken from the docket by Judge Schmidt. These cases have attracted a great deal of attention as being a part of the warfare that has existed in the Greenwood community for some time which had divided the residents into two warring camps, attracting much attention over the state and as the result of these two cases the marshal, Mr. Trunkenboltz filed actions for $5,000 damages against Mr. Rouse and W. E. Newkirk, the Justice of the peace before whom the actions originated. Charges and counter charges have been heard in the trouble and the county officers have sought to bring relief to the troubled condition with out marked success. Several cases have been filed and tried here in court covering the ac- lions of residents of that locality but in the disposal of them the feeling was intensified, but it is hoped that the trouble may be ironed out and the condition of the splendid little city to be restored to the former peace and harmony that prevailed up until the last few months. REMEMBERS EARTHQUAKE Mrs. C. II. Kirkpatrick, of Alvo, who has made her home in Cafs county for the past sixty-four years, has a Eplendid recollection of the early days of Plattsmouth and Cass county. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lewis, who came to Platts mouth in 1S66 and resided forborne time in what was Plattsmouth's first apartment house, "Patterson's Row a building erected on street where a one story and base ment structure extended down the Fifth street hill from Oak street to the alley and sheltering many fam ilies, the apartments bing built by John Patterson in the enrly sixties. One of the most vivid recollections of early days here that Mrs. Kirk patrick still holds, is that of an earthquake in 1SG7. the family at that time residing in the basement apartment at the south portion cf the Patterson Row. A poker that was hanging by the mantle was hanging by the mantle was swung by the force of the tremors and dishes rattled freely in the cupboards as the shock came and went, Mrs. Kirk patrick states. She has been much interested in the stories of this in cident given by old time residents. Later the Lewis family moved to near Eight Mile Grove eleven miles west of Plattsmouth and five south of the present town of Cedar Creek. They moved from there to the lo cality of Camp Creek cemetery, four miles west and one mile south of Alvo and where they have resided for many years. Mrs. Kirkpatrick also well recalls the first Bible school in Tipton pre cinct and where she was an atten dant. ENJOY WESTERN TRIP Officer Dave Pickrel with Mrs. Pickrel and his mother, Mrs. Mary Pickrel. departed Thursday for the west, to enjoy an outing of some two weeks in the coolness of the Colorado mountains, making the trip by auto and being given the oppor tunity of viewing the country through which they pass. The trip will permit the police officer to for get the trials and tribulations of his office and the watch that he keeps over the business section of the city while the rest of the inhabitants are wrapped In slumber. Just a few of the Cass county maps left. While they last, 50c each.

Petring for Station George K. Petring, owner of the Plattsmouth Motor Co., who has for the past few years owned the lots at the intersection of Chicago ave nue and Granite street, has disposed of his holdings at that place to the Continental Gas Co., of Lincoln. It has been the intention of Mr. Petring to erect a station for the sale of gas at that place, but the desire of the large Lincoln company to secure the site decided him to dispose of the same. The company that has acquired the site, it is understood will at once start the plans for a modern and up- to-the-minute drive-in service station that will be in keeping with the reputation of the company for mod ern and attractive places lor tne handling of their business and will replace the present unsightly lot with a fine and attractive gas and service station. This company has also been ne gotiating for the purchase of the lots at Sixth and Vine '.reets, which are now occupied by the building of the Streight furniture store. Dry Weather is Boon to the City Street Force Commissioner Finds Time to Get the Work Caught Up and Streets Placed in Fine Shape While the dry weather of the past month has proven a hardship on the residents who have had to live thru the ordal and has blistered the corn crop in bad shape, it has been a real boon to the street department of the City of Plattsmouth and saved a jrreat deal of expense that is usual ly found in repairing the dirt streets after the heavy rains. Commissioner Jess Elliott states that he has been able to get the streets all very well smoother up during the dry weather as well as completing several good sized as signments in fills and waterways be ing placed and these have not been washed out at once as has so often been the case in the past. The dirt roads and particularly those located on the hills are usual ly cut up the greater part of the time by the heavy rains, but this season has been exceptionally dry and therefore street work has not had to be repeated and gives the resi dents the advantage of a good road. The much larger area served by paving and graveling is also helping in cutting down the work on the dirt roads and saves the taxpayers of the city a great deal of money each year. In this last line of work, Mr. El liott states that the graveling is now being completed on North Eighth street, where the residents and the city have joined hands in making a gravel road from the present paving north to the city limits and from where the county will extend the graveling to the rifle range. UNDERGOES OPERATION From Thursday's Dally Mrs. E. C. Ripple, well known resi dent of this city, who has been at the Clarkson hospital at Omaha for the past week, suffering from the ef fects of a very badly fractured and shattered shoulder, was operated on. It was found necessary to have the shoulder operated on owing to its crushed condition and a new socket for the arm arranged in the shoul der Joint. The patient has suffered a great deal as the result of the in jury and the heated weather which has been felt very much by the patient who is kept constantly with her army braced and in a cast. It is hoped that the operation will result in the shoulder being able to knit and be restored to its former condi tion but as the case will require sev eral weeks it is most rying on the patient. Sues to Have Life Interest in Farm Restored Mrs. Mary E. Mast Is Plaintiff In Action Against Ada Muray and Edward Murray in Suit From Fridas' Dally This morning an action was filed in the office of th.; clerk of the dis trict court in which Mrs. Mary E. Mast, a resident of the vicinity of Nehawka is the plaintiff and Ada Murray, a daughter, and Edward Murray, a son-in-law, are the de fendants. The action is one in which Mrs. Mast seeks to have her life interest in the farm occupied by the defend ants restored, a deed set aside and the defendants be required to make an accounting of rentals claimed to be due to the plaintiff under the agreements claimed to have been made by the parties. The allegations of the plaintiff's petition are that the plaintiff was under the last will and testament of her husband, Abraham Mast, given a life interest in the farm in ques tion, that on or about the eighteenth day of November 1925. the defend ants requested the plaintiff to sign a paper, claiming that she would secure her rents for the farm. At the time the paper was signed plain tiff claims that she did not know that it was a quit claim deed to her interest in the farm that the instru ment was filed in the register of deed's office on November ISth, 1925. but it was not until September 1929 that the plaintiff learned that the paper signed had been a deed vacat ing her rights in the farm as given by her deceased husband. It is further alleged that the de fendants, have paid in the years 1925-2C-27-2S and 29, various store bills for the plaintiff and that they have at various times paid her small amounts in cash. That the bills and amounts paid were wholly inade quate to the proper rent is also claimed, it being alleged that the rental value of the farm in question was $2,500 per year. It is asked that the court set aside the quit claim deed and restore the rights of the plaintiff in the farm in question and that also the defend ants be required to make settlement of the amount or rents due since they have had the farm. In the action J. A. Capwell and W. A. Robertson of this city appear for the plaintiff, Mrs. Mast. The parties in the suits are mem bers of the family who have had a number of disputes and which was climaxed in the shooting of Arnold Mast, a son of the plaintiff in this case, by Theorn Murray, a son of Edward Murray, following a fight between Earl Troop and Edward Murray near the Mast place. FRIENDS REGRET LEAVING The fact that Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Dalton aid their family are soon to leave this city is a matter of much regret to the friends that they have made here in the time that Mr. Dal ton has been located here as the storekeeper for the BREX. The members of the family have been active in the city during their resi dence here and that they will be greatly missed goes without saying. Mr. Dalton is leaving the railroad work and expects to locate in Rhode Island where he will en gage in the automobile and acces sories business, being associated there with a brother-in-law, feeling that this line of work offers a larger measure of opportunity than his present line of work. In their new home they take the best wishes of the many friends for their future success and welfare. Mr. Dalton is planning on getting away in a very short time and join ing the family who have been visit ing in the east for some time and who will await him to start their new home in the east.
