ing in ample time to take part in the
work in South and North Dakota.

doubt appreciates very much.
A number of mat fans fiotu this
place drove to Plattsmouth Wednes
day evening to attend the wrestling
match between Frank Schrnarder,
who is now employed at the quary
in this place operating the steam
shovel, and Ray Zimnitrer of Sou'h
Dakota, former middleweight cham
pion of the world.
L. G. Plybon and --on Chester,
went to Plattsmouth latt Saturday
and came home driving a new car.
They had made the purchase the
week before, but on account of bad
roads they had left the car there un
til Saturday. The new car is a Ford,
but it is up to date having an elec
tric starter and electric lights.
The bump of covetousness had
been so thoroughly instilled in the
mind of some party or parties that
it led them to break another of God'.-?
commandments, when on Thursday
evening of last week, the barn be
longing to Grandpa Rose was en
tered and two automobile tirea was
stolen from his son Fred Rose. The
thief stripped the tires off the wheels.
The seats had been removed in search
for other valuable tools or accessor
ies, but nothing further was missing.
No trace was left that would give
any clue as to who tne guilty party
or parties were and no one has been
suspected of the theft. It is not of
ten such as this happens in Nehaw
ka. but now since it occurred, it
might be well to provide a little bar
rage in the way of lock and chains.
