day, the homecoming staged by the
members of Home Guard Co. "A" of
this city in honor of the returned sol
diers, sailors, marines and Red Cross
nurses, proved to be a bis; attraction
to several thousand of the residents
of the eastern portion of the county,
who, braving the threatening weath

affair, but those from Murray, Union

the festivities.
The general pleasing result of the
program reflects great credit upon
the efforts put forth by the members

'"reveille," which was sounded at 4
Vclock and from then on the advent
of the day was greeted by the ring-
jing of bells from all sections of the
city, warning the public that the
iday they had looked forward to had
arrived.
Ily S o'clock the streets began to
assume the Ei;;r.3 of activity as the
service men the guests of honor -began
to arrive to enjoy the day and
the excellent entertainment prepar
ed for them.
The arrival of the 20th Infantry
band from Fort Crook at 9:45 was
the formal opening of the program,
and was followed by a massed band
concert at the dance platform at
Fifth and Main streets at 9:30 which

was greatly enjoyed by the rapidly
growing crowd and the concert was
directed by Richard Avard, of the
Burlington band of this city.
Owing to the heavy rain of Fri
day night it was necessary to cancel
the base ball game between the sol
diers and sailors as the ball park
was a sea of mud and the time as
signed to the game was taken up by
the band concert and the musical
act of the Soos imisical company.
This was a pleasing comic act com
bined with music and was greeted
warmly by the auditors.
The service men on their arrival
hastened to the First National bank,
where the reception committee main
tained a register of the guests and
here 2"iG of the men who had served
their country registered and were
given badges of honor.
At the noon hour one of the big
attractions of the day occurred the
big dinner served to the service men.
their wives, mothers and sweethearts
and from the first notes of the
"chow" call the large rooms, where
the two tables sixty feet in length
had been prepared. were crowded
with the happy bunch of returned
doughboys and gobs who thoroughly
entered into the spirit of the occa
sion and the repast served was cer
tainly all that could be asked for
by anyone and" the guests of honor
were fed to their heart's content by
the ladies serving the dinner. li. A.
McKlwain. chairman of the commit
tee, was acting as mess sergeant,
while the cooking feature of the din
ner was looked after by Mr. and Mrs.
William Barclay, who certainly did
themselves proud while the Carnp
Fire and Liberty girls looked after
in subduing the Hun.
The parade of the service men in
the afternoon was to the general pub
lic the greatest attraction of the
day and a fine showing was made by
the men of the county in their pa
rade over the main section of the
city, giving the people the oppor
tunity of seeing a part of the Cass
county men who had done their part
in subdoing the Hun.N
The members of the Grand Army
headed the parade and a number of
the old boys of 61-65 who had felt
the touch of years occupied autos at
the head of the line of march, pre
ceding the military section of the
parade. Captain Edwin A. Fricke.
of the 31st division, was selected by
the committee as the officer of the
day and formed the world war vet
erans for the parade at 3rd and Main
streets.. Other of the commissioned
officers from the county. Captain G.
H. Gilmore and Lieutenants Sam
Windham and Durwood Lynde, of
Fnion. assisted Captain Fricke in the
formation of the parade. The line
of march was taken up at 1:30 by
the 20th Infantry band heading the
soldier section of the parade, and fol
lowing the former officers the enlist
ed personnel of the veterans fell in
to line in a column of squads and
moved out immediately following tne
band. The soldier section was fol
lowed by the figure of Liberty which
was charmingly represented by Miss
Betty Beeson.
The Burlington band headed thf
second section of the parade, compos
ed of the sailor boys, and these husky
and bright looking young Jackies
were received with hearty applause
from the crowds that lined the route
of the parade and made a splendid
representation of the boys who had
upheld the flag upon the high seas
during the war. The war nurses
who had labored in caring for the
sick and wounded of the army on the
battlefield and in the hospitals, was
represented by Mrs. Robert Shrader,
who spent a year in service in France
during the worst of the fighting and
was on duty in -ie field dressing sta
tions. A group representing the
spirit of '76 broug. up the rear .of
the column.
The parade moved west on Main
street to Fourth and north to Vine,
moving west on Vine to Sixth, thence
to Main and west to Seventh, from
where the parade counter marched
to the starting point. Those taking
part in the parade were then group
ed in front of the court house, where
the old veterans of the civil war,
few in number and venerable with
years, were photographed with the
youthful veterans of the greatest of
all wars, and which picture repre
sents one of the greatest events in
the history of the community.
i Captain Rawls in a few brief re
marks thanked the guests of honor
for the most pleasing parade given
by them and expressed his feeling
of love and esteem for the boys of
the war of 1917-19, to which senti
ment tne assembled soldiers and sa.i
ors responded with a hearty cheer
for Mr. Rawls and the members of
the Home Guard cqmpany.
At the close of the parade the
crowds began to surge toward the
baseball park wnere the a..etic car
.nival was to be held and soon the
grand stand and bleachers were
crowded with the enthusiastic guests
of honor and the public to witness

the event arranged for them. The
opening event was a wrestling match
between Tom Ray of Omaha and
"Bull" Sorensen of Salt Lake, and
these two clever representatives cf
the grappling art for thirty minutej
entertained the crowd and while both
wrestlers were in close quarters sev
eral times, they managed to break
the holds of their opponent and the
match at the close of thirty minutes
was decided a draw. Kid Graves,
of Omaha, and himself 8 former
Plattsmouth boy, officiated as referee
of the match.
In i ne semi-windup boxing exhi
bition Eddie Gillen, of Omaha, and
Jimmy Drexel, the veteran fighter of
South Omaha, niixecl in a fast six
round go and the fighters showed
plenty of spirit, continuing to mix
things despite the call of time by
Ernie Holmes, of Omaha, the time
keeper, until forced apart by the
referee. Kid Graves, sports editor of
the Omaha Bee. and in making the
break in the fourth round the "Kid"
received a sharp rap in the head
from the lighters.
It was rather disappointing to the
fans when they learned that Harry
Williams the crack Omaha boxer
would be unable to be at the car
nival owing to the fact that he had
sprained his wrist in boxing Friday
night and his physician refused to
allow him to enter the ring. Billy
Uvik, of South Omaha, was substi
tuted for Williams as the opponent
of Andy Schniarder, the Louisville
boy, heavyweight champion of the
navy, and gave a clever exhibition
of boxing as Uvik. while on the de
fense the greater part of the time
showed great ring generalship. Andy
is a splendid athlete and his work
with Uvik showed his skill and speed
as he had his opponent on the de
fense at all stages of the game.
After the athletic sports the main
street of the city was filled with the
stream of visitors and townspeople
to witness the-special acts put on
by the Aerial Rays and the Howards,
which acts proved a very pleasing
feature of the day's entertainment.
The band concert in the evening
was one that was much appreciated
and at. its conclusion the platform
was prepared and "on with the
dance" was the order of the even
ing and from 7 o'clock in the even
ing until after the midnight hour
the floor was filled with the throng
of merry dancers and this proved
the crowning feature of the day in
which tire city had welcomed home
the service men of the county.
