From Friday's Pally.
.Last Wednesday evening the sher
iff, with a special officer, Mr. J. M.
B ull, from the Governor's office,
i-ropped down the line and at Union
found one, A. Begbel. with a motor
cycle, and in it a quantity of whis
key which they confiscated, bringing
the man and his machine to this
cit;
where he was placed in the
county jail
This happened about
six o'clock in the evening
Knowing
that something was in the wind be
side this, the special officers from
the Governor's office, Mr. Buell, he
fore Mentioned. -iru: A. G. Xethev av
repaired to the Pollock Auto and!"
.Wagon Bridge, where' thev waited. '
intercepting all people going north
until at about ten thirty they drop-
red onto a car which was driven by
Sherman Shinbery, and in which II.
J. Clark was also riding. When the
car slowed down at the approach of
the bridge the officers, one on each
fide stepped upon the running board
of the auto, asking as they did so,
"Are you carrying whiskey?" For
answer, the driver gave the engine
vyoro gas and reached for a revolver,
which he had in the side of the car,
but asiis hand clo?ed upon the gun,
that of Officer Buell closed upon it
and gripped it so tightly that he
could not use the gun. A few mo
ments later he was relieved of the
dangerous weapon.
At tiie other side of the car an
interesting scene was aIo being en
acted for Clarka had reached into
his pocket for his gun also, but Mr.
Netheway gripped his wrist and
took his gun as well. The men be
ing thus disarmed, were placed un
der arrest and brought back to this
city, where they were placed in the
count- jail, along with the man rid
ing the motorcycle. There was found
in their possession about 545 pints
of whiskey.

land a holiday, the men were fed on
prison fare, and today were arraign-
cd, charged with the crime of vio-
jlaticii of the prohibitory laws.
Following the arrest of the men
at the Platte River bridge, Special
Officers Buell and Netheway and
Chief of Police Barclay and Sheriff
Quinton, who wejre with them, de
cided to divide their attention be
tween a couple of different localities,
instead of centering it all upon one,
and Messrs. Quinton and Buell start
ed for town in the car driven by Ed
Mason, leaving the other two at the
bridge. On the way in they were met
bj- two men in a car, who, upon be
ing picked up gaves their names as
Dan Tomasso and John Pratt. They
were looking for the booze car, hav
ing an order to get a quantity of
liquor from it, meeting it along the
road between town and the Platte
river, and, upon meeting up with the
car containing the officers one of the
men called out. "Is that you Ed?"
Now, one of the men driving the car
containing the liquor is 'also named
Ed. and it was to him thej' thought
they were speaking. But Ed Mason,
who was driving the officers car an
swered his querry in the affirmative
and both cars stopped. Mr. Buell
recognized the people in the car and
they were likewise taken into cus
tody and brought to town and plac
ed in jail. This morning they re
ceived a fine of five dollars and costs
for operating a motor vehicle with
a wrong number, which the- admit
ted, paying their fine and going on
their way. It seems there has been
a practice by drivers making trips
through here to St. Joseph after, a
booze cargo to carry one number on
the down trip and a different one on
the return, thus serving to avert sus
picion being directed toward them.
A little later.
A little later a telephone call was
sent to the bridge notifying the of
ficers that a car was in town and
was starting for Louisville, probably
to effect a more'safe crossing of the
Platte river. The officers' gave chase
but were not able to overhaul it.
Following this the officers again
gathered at the bridge for another
consultation, Chief Barclay a'nd Mr.
Netheway remaining there and Sher
iff Quinton and Mr. Buell going
south. It was on this expedition
they intercepted the motorcycle and
brought it and the rider, one A. Beg-
del into town at about three o'clock
in the morning. Begdel was ar-
raigned this morning, 28 pints, two
quarts and one gallon of whiskey
having been found in his possession
and received a fine of two hundred
dollars and costs, which he was un
able to pay. The result is he is now
in jail and his motorcycle stands con
fiscated until the amount of his fine
and the costs shall be forthcoming.
Sherman Shinberg and L. Clarke
when arraigned this afternoon plead
ed guilty to having and transporting
intoxicating liquors and received
Shinberg, a fine cf $200.00 and
Clarke who said he only was a pass
enger and had a pint or so, was
given a fine of $100 while both had
to pay costs $5.70 each. The court
confiscated the car, which bore the
license number of 116134 Nebr.
The men then were turned loose,
and when they had been released
Grant Yates, deputy United States
Marshall coming from the Omaha of
fice placed Sherman Shinberg under
arrest and took him to Omaha on the
Missouri Pacific train, where he, will
be placed in jail to. await a charge
for violation of United States laws.

From Friday's Dally.
At the Coates hall last night there
was gathered the largest crowd of
young people and those more advanc
ed in age, ever assembled there at a
dance before. The, ocasion was tho
patriotic dance given by the Red
Cross ladies for the purpose of rais
ing funds with which to buy Xaas
boxes for our soldier boys who are
serving in the various cantonments
and training camps over the coun
try. The dance floor was literally
crowded to capacity at each dance,
with people who took advantage of
the opportunity of enjoying them
selves and being patriotic at the
same time. In fact so great was the
throng that the management ruled
no women should be permitted to
usurp the floor space by dancing
with each other.
Not alone was the floor filled with
happy dancers, but the galeries, also.
were crowded with many spectators
who sat and watched the merry
crowd below as it swirled to and fro
to the pulsations of the music fur
nished by the Caldwell orchestra.
Refreshment stands, at which cold
drinks, coffee and sandwiches could
be procured did a thriving business,
everj-one seeming glad to contribute
liberally to the good cause undertak
en by the ladies, and In order that
no man; serving the nation should
find himself forgotten when Christ
mas time shall come and good cheer
reign supreme over the universe for
one brief day.
Dancing started at S o'clock and
continued until the clocks pealed
forth in no uncertain tones the fact
that "12 bells" had arrived.
Everyone seemed to enjoy them
selves and amidst jostling about on
the dance floor, a radiant smile was
reflected in every countenance. At
the conclusion of the evening, when
a tentative estimate of finances was
made, it was shown that a handsome
sum had been realized, although the
exact amount is not yjet known.

From Friday's Dan
The Thanksgiving services, vhich
have been an annual practice here,
being conducted by the different
churches of the city in' union meet
ing, were held yesterday at the
Christian church, there being a very
good sized crowd present.
The address of the service was do
livet'd by the Rev. II. G. JlcCluskey,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
and partook of a recitation of the
facts and things for which we should
be thankful, dropping into history,
llev. llcCluskey, in his splendid ad
dress, showed that the organized
church was responsible for the con
ditions that the world and its so
cieties had gotten into. Through the
errors of the church, he said, the
liberties of the people had, in many
instances, become forfeited and it
was now the duty of the church to
redeem them. The Pope at Home had
in times gone by, sought to make
the rulers of differentEuropcan
counti2 understand that they reign
ed by divine right, by the coronation
of them, thus holding out the idea
that God had appointed them to rule
and thereby make their acts the acts
of God. From these practices, ex
tending to the present day, comes
such expression as that recently at
tributed to the German kaiser, "Me
and Gott."
The things which Itcv. McCluskey
cited as reasons why wc should be
thankful were lando of plenty boLh
material and the opportunity for
worship as our conscience dictates.
lie said we should be thankful for
a government such as we have, and
which purposes to stand for the lib
erties and rights of a free people
a land not afraid to enter, was for
justice and the cause of humanity
and democracy. J

From Friday's Daily.
A message came yesterday morn
ing to the secretary of the Masonic
lodge here telling of the finding of
Dennis McIIugh, father of Mrs.
Thomas Walling, dead in his miners
cabin at Cloride, Arizona.
Mr. McHugh has been away from
his home at Falls City for nearly a
year, and the folks, on account of
his having moved from one place to
another, did not know his exact place
of residence.
Dennis McIIugh was born in Illi

after marrying came west, locating
in Iowa, having a blacksmith and

ed to Plattsmouth, living here for a
number of years. At his calling he
was a finished workman, and during
his stay here he had a shop where
Mr. John Iverson is now located. He
had a case of horse shoes, a number
of which he had plated with silver,
and it exhibited a fine display of
Mr. McHugh, as an artificer or cun
ning worker in metals.
Mr. McHugh was a genial asso
ciate, kind and generous, and dur
ing the latter years of his life he
seemingly desired to be by himself,
and withdrew from society. Mr. Mc
Hugh leaves, besides the wife at
Falls Cit5 his daughter, Mrs. Thos.
Walling here, a son Jerry McHugh,
at Murdock, and Edward, Maurace
and Mary with their mother at Falls
City.
The message, which came from
the lodge at Cloride, told of his de
mise and burial at that place. His
death had occurred but a little time
before, and it was by the laws of the
state of Arizona necessary to inter
the remains within a certain time.
The law also provides that the re
mains cannot be removed within six
years after date of burial, so they
will remain there for the present.
