THE BURGLAR-ALARM SET WRONG
And it Could Not be Stopped Until Ray
Patterson Was Found.
Friday night at 10 o'clock the bur-glar-alarm
went of! at the Hank of Cass
County, and the people of our city, of
course, became greatly excited in con
sequence, as they thought sure the
bank was being burglarized. Those
who chanced to be on Main street at
that hour (and there was quite a num
ber) rushed to the bank, but found
the door locked, and the next tiling
was to effect an entrance. This they
could not tlo without bursting in the
door or hunting up some one who had
a key.
It was. however, soon discovered
that no burglars were around, but to
stop the noisy alarm u;is what was
wanted. No ora- ciild surmise why
it had went i!i'at that unreasonable
hour for burglars. Kay Patterson, the
assistant cashier, was hunted up. and
proceeded to the bank and opened the
door lor the croud that had gathered
around. The alarm was soon hushed,
at which time it was discovered that
T. M. Patterson, on leaving the bank,
had set the machinery wrong. There
was great excitement, and many were
aroused from their peaceful dreams in
residence portions or the city near
Main street by the loud peals of the
alarm bell. It was a relief to those
who had first appeared at the bank to
know that it was altogether a false
alarm. And now some are disposed to
believe that Mr. Patterson had pur
posely set the machinery to surprise
the people. If this should prove the
case he certainly carried his point.
Numerous tales are told regarding
the many surprises, but let each one
go for what it is worth, the fact is,
the incident demonstrates that the
alarm is a success in every particular,
and that it will be a sorry hour for the
burglar whoever attempts to rob the
Bank of Cass County without arousing
the people of Plattsmouth before he
bas an opportunity of getting away
with the money.
Bach's Store BroKcn Open.
The lower Main Street grocery store
of Aug. Pach was broken into this
morning about one o'clock by thieves.
It seems the double doors in front had
not been properly fastened, when leav
ing the store for the night, and that a
hard push succeeded in opening the
same. Considerable noise was made
in opening the doors, and Otlicers
Weldey and Cory, hearing the same,
rushed to the scene, but ere they ar
rived the thieves had made their es
cape. In doing so they dropped a
couple of packages of tobacco, which
would indicate that they succeeded in
securing a number of such articles be
fore "lighting out." Nothing valu
able was missing upon a thorough examination.
Once More in the Toils.
Roy Ketcham, the young man who
was arrested a few days ago for steal
ing a ring from P. A. McElwain, was
placed in the city bastile again last
evening on the charge of vagrancy.
The only reason that Ketcham was
given such a light fine last week he
agreed to leave town the following
day. This it seems he has refused to
do although the police have given him
notice to make himself scarce several
times. The young man is certainly
a mystery, coming from nowhere and
having no place to go. lie seems to
have many varieties of jewelry, that
he has been trying to pawn or sell,
and in searching his pockets yesterday
Otlicers Fitzgerald and Weldy found
in one of his vest pockets two very
nice unmounted opals wrapped in a
neat little package. They were really
placed in the lining of his vest, and
where he thought perfectly safe.
Young Ketcham was brought before
Judge Weber this morning and fined
So.00 and costs, which amount he could
not pay and was returned to jail, to
lav it out.

Since the removal of I'nited States
District Attorney Paxter a number of
prominent Nebraska attorneys have
been mentioned for the vacancy.
A mong the number is Pyron Clark of
this city, and while we are not of the
same political faith as Mr. ("lark, and
as the plum will surely goto a re
publican, we would rejoice to see him
appointed, from the simple fact that
he is a citizen of Plattsmouth, and one
of the best qualified men in the state
for the position. In reference to this
appointment the Omaha News of last
evening says:
"A new candidate for the otlice of
United States district attorney to suc
ceed Judge Paxter, who was removed
by the president, has arisen in the per
son of Pyron Clark of Plattsmouth.
"It is stated that his appointment
would please both Senators Purkett
and Millard, and that Howard II.
Paldridge, whos. name was mentioned
as the niot likely .successor to Judge
Paxter. will not get the desired plum.
"If the appointment goes to Pur
kett, it is presumed that ' itii, r ( lark
or Thomas ( '. M linger of Lincoln will
be the man.
'"Clark was responsible lor the reso
lutions adopted by the state conven
tion indorsing Klmer J. Purkett for
I'nited States senator. He is also said
to have strong friends in the Millard
camp and is looked upon as the most
promising candidate for the place."
MORE CHRISTMAS CHIMES
Mr. and Mrs. Z. W. Shrader Entertains
Their Friends at Their Pleasant Home.
A Christmas tree reception was
given at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Z. W. Shrader, four and one-half miles
northwest of Nehawka, on Christmas
evening. An entertainment was given
as is the custom in commemoration of
the birth of the Savior. It brought
together Mr. Shrader's family, child
ren and grandchildren in a family re
union including friends and neighbors.
After the guests assembled, and at
the appointed time, the curtains were
drawn aside and a beautiful decorated
tree ladened with beautiful and ap
priate presents was brought into view.
After a very neat program, consist
ing of declamations, songs, assisted by
graphophone, in some mysterious way
Santa Claus appeared to the astonish
ment and delight of all. After the
distribution of presents a treat was
carried to all present, consisting of
nuts, candy, oranges, etc. A general
good visit was enjoyed by young and
old until a late hour when the friends
departed feeling that they had enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent, wish
ing Mr. and Mrs. Shrader many more
such Christmas celebrations,
The following were present: Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Young and son and
their relative, Mrs. McVacon, of Illi

Let's Have a Rock. Pile,
Last night ten or twelve inmates
occupied the tramp house. Not a day
passes that there are not at least ten or
twelve tramps invade this city. In
fact Plattsmouth has got to be a sort
of a shelter for these fellows, and
about the test way to prevent their
visitations is to prepare a rock pile
and put them to work when they
come. This would do more to stop
the "Weary Willies'' than any other
means.
A Fine Time.
The Plattsmouth lodge No. ;, A. F.

EVERY FARMER SHOULD BE ON HAND
They Will No Doubt Learn Something to
Their Advantage.
Fvery farmer who can be hen; Satur
day should attend the lectures that will
be deli vered on board of the Purling
ton seed corn special. The train carry
ing the party will arrive In Platts
mouth at :S:iS0 p. m., and remain until
4:.'" p. m., and willcontain an audience
car with comfortable scats for all who
desire to attend. These seed com
specials are arranged especially for the
benefit of the farmers along the line,
and they should at least show their
appreciation of what the state univer
sity is doing in their interest by their
presence Saturday. Several lectures
will be delivered on how to select seed
corn, soil culture, etc. There is no
farmer howeer siuai t he may be in
t he pursuit o his avocat ion, hut who
is willing to learn more. Speaking
of these seed corn si iccia Is, the Lincoln
State Journal f llns morning says:
"It is nat ura I to call a seed corn spe
cial by the name of the railroad over
which it runs, and in doing so we al
most lost sight of the fact that in
reality the seed corn specials arc state
university enterprises. This week a
corps of lecturers from the university
are spending their vacation time hi
the arduous task of delivering several
lectures each day to the f anners along
the Purlington route, living and sleep
ing on the train, on the whole a wear
ing and dillicult occupation. Nothing
more than has been said need be said
in commendation of the farsighted
ness and enterprise of the railroads in
furnishing a free train for the use of
the lecturers. On the other hand the
people of the state should not forget
these evidences of the practical value
to all of them of the state university
to which they give their support."
Joy Morton Injured.
The Nebraska City News of last
evening says: "This morning while
Mr. Joy Morton, was out riding with
others, trying some of his horses on
the hurdles, his horse threw him and
he alighted on the back of the head on
the frozen ground. He was picked up
aud carried to the house at once. I)r.
Ginn was called and worked over him
from 1 1 o'clock until this afternoon
and Mr. Morton has just recovered his
consciousness when the News went to
press. It is feared he has suffered con
cussion of the brain and it will be
some time before he fully recovers. Of
course the extent of the injuries can
not be told at this time, but the best
is hoped for. Dr. Ginn found no
broken bones and hopes for the ulti
mate recovery of Mr. Morton."
A Pleasant Time.
About fifty invited guests gathered
at the pleasant farm home of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hirz, west of
town, last evening, in response to invi
tations issued a few days ago, in honor
of William Hirz, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Hirz, of Rapid City, S. I)., who is here
spending the holidays. The evening
was very pleasantly spent in playing
numerous games, and at the usual
hour, fne of those good old farm
Christmas suppers was spread for the
merry thiong. We are safe in saying
that the entertainment at the hands
of Mr. and Mrs. Hirz, was a little out
of the ordinary, and at a late hour all
departed for home with but one
thought another evening well spent.
