THE GOOD OLD DAYS
The mentioning of the fact that
the 4th of July just passed was one
of the quietest in the history of the

residents, the observance of the
Fourth held sixty years aso here. The
event was one in which the fire de-
the creeks that then flowed through
the main part of the city, but have

sewer system. The parade moved
through the business part of town,
out to Smith's grove, located near
where the present stt.ndpipe of the
I'lattsmouth Water Corporation is lo
cated. The band had played a lew

one to get a thorough soaking. "With
horns soaked the band proceeded
homeward followed by the fire com
pany and their equipment, wading
through the mud of the street, there
being no walks and the only means
cf travel being the middle of the
road. The women and children
reaching the main part of town found

Aged Man Seeks
to Have Guardian
ship Closed
Charles P. Hall, Wealthy Farmer of
Near Elmwood Battles Case in
Lancaster County.
Charles P. Hall, eighty-three,
farmer near Kim wood, who accumu
lated an estate cf $250,000, began a
legal battle in District Judge Chap
pell's court at Lincoln Tuesday,
against his children and J. J. Led
with, guardian, to void a guardian
ship and regain possession of his es
tate. The guardianhin was obtained
in county court in 192S, appealed
after two years to the district court.'
and remanded by the supreme court
to the district court to be tried on
the matter of competency alone. The
first trial in the district court had
been on alleged fraud in obtaining
the guardianship and on the matter
of residency.
Attorney Albert Munger for Mr.
Hall claimed that the move to place
Mr. Hall under guardianship was
started by his children after he mar
ried Mrs. Kctella Fowler of Lincoln
on Jan. 4, 192S, for fear that the
new wife would interfere with their
inheritance rights. The attorneys for
the children. Sanden and Oradv.ohl,
claim the marriage of Mr. Hall and
Mrs. Fowler was engineered by John
Fowler, son of Mrs. Fowler, and the
children feared that the estate would
fall into their hands. It is alleged
that John Fowler for several years
prior had become the confidant of Mr.
Hall to the exclusion of his family.
It is alleged by the attorneys for
Mr. !IaM that he is competent . He
cam? to Nebraska when nine years
old. beran work for himself at four
teen ar.d accomulated his fortune. He
was so careful in investments his at
torney said, that he never lost a dol
lar. He made it a rule to invest in
farm mortgages, only near his own
farm, or buy clear land or govern
ment bonds and would not loan over
$50 per acre on improved farms.
The children admit that he was an
able business man but claim that in
1922 he was swept from a load cf
hay by a hay fork and badly injured,
and was never the same mentally
thereafter but turned against his
family. It is also claimed that after
his wife's death in 192G ha began to
write to women and wanted to marry
again and it is also claimed that
John Fowler caused him to meet Mrs.
Fowler and also suggested the mar
riage to her. It is also claimed that
immediately upon Mr. Hall's mar
riage he took ?90,000 worth of se
curities in an old tin box to the home
of Mrs. Fowler and it is alo alleged
that the securities were those
him by John Fowler.
It is also alleged that since he has
been under guardianship and much
of the time received $50 a month
from his estate and the rest of the

ANNOUNCE TRAIN CHANGES
From Tuesday's I'aily
The lSurlington railroad has an
nounced their intention of removing
two of tho present passenger trains
which operate through this city. This
is east bound train No. 4, now due
here at 10:45 a. m. and west bound
train due at 0:4." a. m. The::e trains
will be taken out of service entirely
according to the phuis of the rail
road company. The proposal will

Probably the r.io.;t important and
interesting development of this con
vention is the fine .-pint of harmony
before m-'whicli seemed to prevail amoog the
delegate.-. Even after the presiden
tial choice had Leon made and all
the favorites were made to take a
back seat in favor of Gov. Roosevelt

ftelir.g of harmony and good feel

thing ur.iuual in the forces of the
democrats. If they can just main-

AVOIDS HOLDUP MAN
A Plattsmouth young man who
was returning home from Glenwood
Sunday evening in company with a
companion had an apparent attempt
to stick him up made by some party
unknown. The auto wa3 just a short
distance out of Glenwood and the
driver not driving at a very high rate
of speed, when suddenly from the
loadway a man sprang toward the
car and apparently with the inten
tion of boarding the car. The Platts
mouth man, however, stepped on the
gas and the car swept ahead and out
of the way before the man could get
onto the running board of the car.
The stranger was dressed in dark
clothes and wore a dark cap pulled
down over his face so that his iden
tification was not possible.
RETURNS FROM THE SOUTH
From Tuesday's Dally
Mrs. D. O. Dwyer, who has been
spending the past two weeks at Birm

Dr. Hudson were memners of the
same fraternity at the Still school.
are motoring to
ith relatives of
Mrs. Warner and later will so to
Idaho to visit with the relat
Dr. Warner.
Taken as a whole the delegates
thought their convention had been
ivcry worth while. It had furnisneil
thrills and excitement for all. and
had been a new and pleasing exper
ience for many. The big question now
is. how much good did it all do?
That bo one can answer until next
November, but right now there are
at least 1200 democrats who say
they know he v.- the fall elections are
going to go, and 12C0 democrats
aren't apt to lie wrong.
