taken up.

Arthur Jacobi Gets Into Game of
"Stud" and Wins but Wakens
to Find Winnings Gone
.
From Wednesday's Dally.
This morning; in the court of
Judge Allen J. IJeeson, John Harris
and Albert Reed were brought be
fore the court on a charge of gamb
ling, which offense occurred on Sat
urday night and the "goat" of the
game, Arthur Jacobi, claimed to
have come from the scene of the
card party shy some seventy iron
men.
From the story told by Jacobi it
seems that he had accompanied Mr.
Harris to the Heed home to secure
some refreshment and the card game
was later proposed and for some time
the fascinations of "stud" were en
joyed with Art winning his share of
the pots and the last that he dis
tinctly remembers was raking in a
pot on "three of a kind" and the
next he knew of the affair was when
he was found some distance from
the house and suffering apparently
from an overdose of the famous
liquid known as "white mule." Af
ter hearing the facts iu the case, the
court assessed a fine of $25 and
costs on Mr. Harris and $10 and costs
on Mr. Reed, which they settled for
and were allowed to depart while
Mr. Jacobi returned to his work in
the country, sadder but wiser in the
line of card playing.

LITTLE BABE INJURED
Pro!i Wednesday' Tjally.
Arthur, the little twenty-one
months' old son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
S. Moran was the victim of a very
serious accident on Monday evening
that will keep the little one confined
to his bed for several weeks. The
little babe was playing in a room on
the second story of the home and
childlike started to push on the
screen of the window which sud
denly gave way and the babe was
precipitated to the ground, quite a
distance, fracturing the right leg
near the hip. While the injuries
were severe it is almost a miracle
that the babe was not killed. Medi
cal assistance was at once summon
ed and the injured leg set but it
will be several weeks before the
babe will be able to use the limb. s
From Wednesday's Dally.
The state convention of the Frater
nal Order of Eagles in session at
Falls City yesterday decided by a
practically unanimous vote to come
to Plattsmouth in 1921 for their
state convention and brought to the
local arie a great honor and for
which they have made a very suc
cessful campaign. The fact that the
Eagles have selected Plattsmouth is
certainly a source of pleasure to the
residents of the city as this is the
first time this city has been honored
with the sstate meeting of any of the
fraternal orders since the Red Men
convention in 1910 and every effort
should be made when the time comes
to co-operate with the local arie of
the Eagles in making the next state
convention a most memorable one.
The convention at Falls City was
largely attended and the members
displayed the greatest of enthusiasm
over the prospect eof the big state
meeting next year as well as over the
position assumed by William M. Bar
clay of this city, who had been men
tioned very favorably for the presi
dency but who decided that he. could
not accept the honor this year and in
recognition of the fact that Andrew
P. Moran of Nebraska City had left
the vice presidency of the order dur
ing the war to take up work as a
Knights of Columbus secretary on
duty with the troops overseas. Mr.
Barclay took the floor and placed Mr.
Moran in nomination in a very able
speech and one that brought a great
demonstration for the speaker. Mr.
Barclay was unanimously re-elected
as vice president of the order and
the delegates at once commenced an
active campaign for the able Platts
mouth Eagle for the head office of
the order at the next state meet.
The local arie of the Eagles in
the past year have demonstrated
that they have one of the most ac-'
tlve aries in the state and their in
creases in membership and constant
activities has kept the interest in
the order at the highest point and
the result of their live and efficient
organization is shown in the success
ful manner in which they have han
dled the securing of the convention.
Former Mayor John P. Sattler and
J. M. Cunningham, president of the
local arie were the delegates at the
Falls City convention and were busy
boosters for their home lodge and
city all the time and with splendid
success.

From Wednesday's Dally.
The robbery of the Philip Thierolf
clothing store on Saturday night or
early Sunday morning has occasion
ed a demand among the business
men along Main street for more pro
tection against the visits of burg
lars and which 'has brought to the
city government a grave problem to
settle.
The business men or those who
have taken the matter up, have ex
pressed a desire for an additional
man on the night police force as
well as having a number of electric
lights placed in the alley way -in
the rear of the business houses.
The problem that is put up to the
city government is one that can be
readily understood by those famil
liar with the city finances as the
city is now paying their policemen
$100 apiece as against $75 and $20
a few years ago and this has made
an increase in cost to the city that
was found, to be necessary and now
should another man be added ' he
would naturally expect the same sal
ary. Also if a policeman is employ
ed by the city it cannot be for the
express purpose of patrolling the
business streets as if called upon he
would have to respond to calls from
any other portion of the city where
his presence might be needed, and
this would not permit the use of one
man to each of the alleys as was
suggested.
The cost of the additional lights
would be an item of no small con
sideration and one that will require
the best possible judgment of both
the mayor .' and members of the city
council, all of whom are anxious to
do their best for the protection of
the business men of the city that will

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
During all the years the Ford Model T One Ton Track has been on the mar
ket, we have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble. We have had no
complaints of motor trouble. As the motor and the rear axle ara the vital funda
mentals in a motor truck, we have the right to conclude that the Ford One Ton
Truck has not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory"
end economic way. There Is no other evidence so convincing as that which
comes from long practical experience. Ford One Ton Trucks are serving along
rll industrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere. If these
statements were not facts, the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck would not
be as large as it is, because people are not buying trucks which do not give
service. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One Ton Truck in all classes
of usage, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in
factory delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer, and contractor, in these days
of modern business methods, this worm-driven One Ton Ford Truck has become
cn actual necessity. Corns in. snd talk it over.
