ly lowered. The citizens of Murdock

things have occurred to bring about
the reduced rates which are expect
ed. Enjoyed a Fine Meeting

general election. Mr. Thimgan was
over to Plattsmouth Saturday to con
fer with the board of commissioners
in regard to the office and what was
expected to be done regarding the se
lection of a deputy. The board of
commissioners might have labored

and not have selected as good a per
son for the position. as they secured
at this time. Mr. Thimgan is a man
well qualified for the position he has
been chosen to fill and as he expects

Cutting Much Wood
Melvin Buskirk has been busy in
the timber notwithstanding the deep
snow in the cutting and getting wood
ready for the consumer. He has some
fifty large truck loads ready for de

only awaiting for some one to come

Had a Good Sale
On last Tuesday at the home of
George Tonac. who has been residing
some four miles east of Greenwood,
was held a sale for the disposing of
what surplus farming machinery he
had. as he is to move to near Gordon,
where the farming will be different
and where he will mostly engage in
the cattle business. While the scar
city of money is felt very keenly,
Henry A. Tool, who was the clerk at
the sale, reports a" very good sale'and
the gcods going, at very fair prices.
Church Hrlds Official Meeting
The members and officers of the
two churches, the one at Murdock
and the other which is known as
the Louisville church northeast of
town, but more properly the Emman
uel churc. were in session at the
Murdock church on Wednesday af
ti rnocn cf last week, where they
looked after the business matters of
both churches. They employ the
same pastor for the both churches.
Heme frcra the West
Messrs. Henry and Will Rueter,
who were called to the west on ac
count of the passing of their father,
Peter Rueter, who died a short time
since and at whose funeral they were
in attendance, returned home Tues
day of last week.
Notice
Some new equipment has been se
curtd by the Murdock Fire depart
ment. Included in this is an electric
fire siren. This siren will be sound
ed daily except Sunday at approxi
mately 12 o'clock noon. It is oper
ated from the office of the Lincoln
Telephone company and is not in
tended as a correct time signal, but
as a test to insure the siren is in
working order at all times.
Fire alarms may be turned in by
calling the telephone company office
or from the fire house.
Respectfully,
THE VILLAGE BOARD.
BUY NEW APPARATUS
The board of trustees of the vil
lage of Murdock recently added to
the fire department equipment aud
are better prepared to fight fires than
heretofore as they have also recently
organized an active and capable fire
department, who are always alert to
save the property of the people of
the city. There has been some very
destructive fires in the town and to
prevent the recurranco of the fire
demon in the future every precaution
has been exercised. Among the other
equipment has been the installation
of an electric siren which can be
sounded from the telephone exchange
by pressing a button. As their no
tice, which appears in this issue of
the paper tells, this siren will be
sounded at about the noon hour every
week day, and will tell about the
time of day being about noon, but
not to the second. The idea is for
all to know when the siren is sounded
about noon it is not for a call for a
fire but any other time it is for a call
and it will be sounded at that time
in order that it be known that the
siren is in good working condition.
OLD RESIDENT HERE
M. E. Bushnell. one of the long
time residents of Cass county, livine
on the farm between South Bend and

mouth many years ago, he being en
gaged here in newspaper work, his
brother H. M. Bushnell, having for
some time been here on the Platts
mouth Herald. Mr. Bushnell has in
late years however, engaged in farm
ing in the northwest part of the
county. While here Mr. Bushnell was
a caller at the Journal to renew his
subscription for another year to' the
weekly edltfoh of -the Journal.

The mother. Mrs. W. H. Young,
who was held for questioning after
the terrific gun battle at her farm
house, voiced the wish to authorities
that her boys would kill themselves
rather than allow the law to exact
its penalty for their crimes.
Mrs. Young's remarkable attitude
will seem strange to mothers of more
worthy children. A woman's mater
nal instinct is to protect her child,
to the last ditch and even though the
world may point an accusing finger
at the being she brought into the
world, she never ceases to regard her
boy as a baby.
One finds it hard to imagine the
Young killers as babies, but if on?

would doubtless be as they were when
they first began to utter baby words.

Maybe they had that mental kink

petrated by i-uch celebrated outlaws
as the Jameses seem epics or gallan
try. But whatever the reason, the
three Youngs didn't take long to ac
quire prison records and an unwhole
some contempt for law and order.
The climax of their career of law
lessness, which finally rung down
the curtain on their activities, was
the gun battle at the Young farm
house near Springfield, Mo.
Harry, sought for a murder he
wa3 suspected of having committed
two years ago, was run to earth there
by the merest nccident. His mother
and sisters, Vineta and Mrs. Alber
Conley, were questioned regarding an
diuni has a basement said to lie equi
valent to a city block in floor space,
where committee offices may bo es
tablished and press facilities rot up
It also has otfice space cn three floors
in the four corners of the building.
In adidtiou many of the corridors,
which sweep wide in I laces, can be
sliced off if needed for special pur

the arena is oval.
This amphitheater is located on
Madison Street, the north and south
meridian of the city, IS blocks west
of the center of the city's business
section.
It is served from the "Loop" by
elevate! lines, by ' boulevards on
which bus lines run and by several
street car lines.
The stadium was built by a num
ber of leading sportsmen of this city,
orpitnizcd by Mr. I J. (Paddy) Har

leading sport center of the city,

capture. Thus they inadvertently
they woulcn t.
automobile accident and inadvertent
ly betrayed the fact that their wanted
brother was at the farm.
What happened when the posso
surrounded the house to arrest him
is history. Harry and his two bro
thers opened lire, killing six of the
oflicers and wounding three others.
Their escape to Texas was nothing
short of miraculous, considering tho
number of state police, deputies, spe
cial officers and volunteers who aided
in the chase.
The fact that they reached the end
of their criminal trail o quickly
proves that the days of the Jesse
Jameses and Daltons are over. No
longer can a desperado just Jump
on a horse and gallcp off laughing at
the law. The Young boys utilized
autos for their get-away, but they
could not escape the meshes of tho
net Justice had spread for them.
Their suicide was the last desper
ate act of trapped rats that knew
that the hand of the law was ap
proaching inexorably to exact retri
bution for their bloddy lawlessness.
In the light of what their mother
had hoped, their self-destruction muy
also have been the only act of their
brief but hectic careers that carried
the stamp of maternal approval.
The chief activity throughout tho
winter Is professional Ice hockey, two
leagues having a total of some 4 0 or
5u engagements. As many as 19,Oo.
a world's record crowd for hockey,
have been seated on several occa
sions. Th? Stadium has seated as
many as 25.000, which exceeds the
capacity of Madison Square (lardeu
In New York, for sporting events.
One feature cf the equipment
which muy attract attention is the
great pipe org::n. The huge open
sound chambers are built into and
suspended from the steel trusses of
the high vaulted roof.
"The full volume of the organ."
says a statement, "is equal to 2!
: brass bands of lot instruments each.
or a total of 2500 orchestral pieces."
The Stadium is able to "manu
facture" its weather because of the
refrigerating plant, costing more
t han $100,000, installed to make ice
for hockey games. In addition. It has
a most elaborate ventilating and air
washing pystem which would givo
20.000 people 30 cubic feet of puri
fied air each per minute.
Sound control in the Str.dium has
been called an achievement by
acoustic engineers, it is declared. Tho
management asserts that the loud
speaking system is audible in every
nook and corner, and is so con
structed that the speaking point or
points can be located where desired.
The seating capacity was recent!
increased by the construction c'
