From Thursday's Dally
The streets of the business section

of windows of manv of the local bus

crowning feature of Bargain Wed

especially large and they continued
to tour the busine:rs sections until a
late hour to try and locate the win
dows that might contain the letters
of the hidden word contest.
A very large number of the busi
ness houses had their window decor
ators busy preparing some very ar
tistic windows and which at the sig
nal were revealed in their beauty
and attractiveness as the concealing
draperies were removed and the
lights blazed forth to add to the
handsome appearance of the business
section.
There were a number of the re
turns in shortly after 8 o'clock at
the Journal office where they were
deposited and to await the examina
tion by the judges as to the success
ful ones in the contest of Fkill and
which tested their spelling knowl
edge.

entries can be received up to Wed

giving ample time for all to make
careful surveys of the city store win
dows and pick out the letters they
may feel are correct. Letters that
appear more than once are all dis
played in the windows on Main street
from Sixth street easr and should
be listed in the order of their ap
pearance from Sixth street.
Chairman Holly of the window
contest committee announces that
more than one answer may be given
by any individual.

that this may be true.

Jury Reduces
Recovery in
Pipe Line Case
Appeal from Award in Case of John
C. Spangler. Et Al.. Results in
Gain for Company.
From Thursday's Dally
The hearing of the case involving
the amount of damages to be recov
ered by reason of laying natural gas
pipe lines tnrougn the farms oi
John C. Spangler, near Louisville, was
completed yesterday afternoon when
the issues were subin'tted to the jury,
the hearing being on two cases con
solidated for trial. The jury return
ed a verdict last night fixing the re
covery of Mr. Spangler and the Metro
politan Insurance Co., the appellants
in the sum of $1,106.70.
The case is an appeal cariied by
Mr. Spangler and others from the
awards made by appraisers in the
condemnation proceedings started by
the Missouri Valley Pipeline Co.. to
secure a right, of way for their line
from Wabash into Louisville.
Following the commencement of
the condemnation proceedings by the
pipeline company, appraisers were
appointed by the county court as re
quired by law and these appraisers
held hearings on the matter as well
as made personal visits to the land
in question to determine the amount
to be recovered. The appraisers
awarded Mr. Spangler $ 1.805 on one
tract of land and $1,340 on another
farm, both of these being considered
in the present trial and for which
a verdict of $1,100.70 was given as
the amount to be paid for the dam
ages on both of the farms.
The hearing will result in reduc
ing the amount of damages to be re
covered on the two farms from $3.
165 to the verdict. $1,106.70, or a
reduction of $2,058.36.
The jury passed on the question
of the damage based on the price of
the farm lands before the placing of
the pipeline through them and the
present sale price as embracing the
damages and did not have the con
sideration of the question of future
damages or conditions that might
arise.

tne ,nembers of the choir on their
re(eption in this city,
J jt tertainly was a wonderful oc-

sr,lendid attention tiirouehout 4the
whole evening. A town can be proud
'that can display such a fine appre-

jn all vocal literature and it requires
rather unusual understanding and a
high grade of musical intelligence
to follow through such classics,
. "The choir and its conductor take
a marvelous journey together when
we go through those songs it is
an indescribable experience.
'I do thank all the ladies and the
minister and others who did so much
to make our visit in Plattsmouth so
enjoyable.
