PAGE EIGHT. PL ATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLT JOURNAL. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1917. VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT MET LAST EVENING EOOZE TO BE USED AS EVIDENCE. From Wednesday's Daily. The lire fighters of Plattsmouth the boys who get out in all kinds of weather and at all times of the day and night, to look after the savins of our homes and business houses when they are threatened by the demon fire- were in session last evening:, with the president, Joseph Sabatka, in the chair, and Guy CIos en acting as secretary, the usual amount of business being transacted. After discussing matters pertain ing to the better fighting of fires in the city and those precautions which go bo far to prevent fires, they took up the matter of sending delegates to the State Volunteer Fire association meeting, which is to be held in Fre mont on January 15, 16 and 17 next. After discussing the matter to some extent they concluded that they would defer the matter of the selec tion of the delegates until a spec ial meeting which is called for Friday evening of this week at 7:30, at which time they will make their selections. In the discussion those present felt that this city should be represented at the state meeting and thought that it would be in line for the better workings of the depart ment to have one of the delegates the Chief of the Fire Department, as at a general meeting of this kind. From Wednesday's Dally. C. D. Quinton, sheriff was sup eonaed before the ; United States court at Omaha and commanded to bring with him, the whiskey which has been taken in the various catch es here during the past when ar rests were made for illegal traffic of whiskey. Trials by the United States authorities are under way against all the people who were engaged in the traffic who have been apprehended. Resides the penalties for the traffic, other violations have been made that of forging stamp marks, chang ing date of placing the spirits in bond. The original stamp showed the spirits placed in bond in 19 1C and 1917, but over that there was stamped by a process which the' ones handling the stuff had a stamp'' showing that the spirits was placed in bond in 1912 and 1913. It looks like before the matter is over that many more may get into the matter, that notwithstanding the enormous profits the stuff has been paying that it will cease to be a profitable busi ness venture in any case. A GIRL GLADDENS THE HOME. From Wednesday's Daily. Yesterday at the home of Leonard Jay and wife a 'little girl came to impart gladness and joy in the house hold, and it was a great success. The little Miss was more than pleased at the pleasure it brought to its par ents by its appearance just before the Yuletide and now is looking for many valuable ideas as to the man- the return of the favors in the shape ner of successfully fighting fires are of gome Chrismas greetings, which will be in keeping of the event of her coming.

At the time of purchase there was 74 acres in cultivation and seeded to fall wheat; the purchaser was to receive delivered to market without expense y$ of the crop.
