the owner of the various places it;
will entail some expense in having

Sheriff Quint on has been spending
some little time the past few tlavs

COUNCIL HAS
SHORT-SESSION
LAST NIGHT
i JUT LITTLE INTEREST PASSED
i
! UPON BY REGULAR GRIND OF
j CITY LEGISLATORS
From Tuesday's tally.
The session of the city law makers
laM evening was as uneventful as
the meeting of the tatting society
a far as excitement was concerned
.':nd very little of importance passed
upon by the body in the bri f nalt
hour that they were in session.
One of the first matters that came
to the attention of the councilmen
vas a communication from William
Paird relative to the old livery barn
on Main street between Sixth and
Seventh streets and which has for a
number of years been ripe for re
moval. Mr. Baird in his letter touch
ed on the dangerous condition of the
barn as regards fire and also of the
fact that it had been rebuilt in viola
tion of the state law covering fire
proof buildings and should be con
demned. Mr. Baird also touched on
the practice of having wagons and
other vehicles pulled out in the cen
ter of Main street and left ehere for
days and weeks and practically con
vrting the main street into a yard
for parking purposes and which was
not only very un.-ightly but a nui
sance to the residents of that portion
of the city.
On motion of Councilman Ptacek
of the second ward the police were
instructed to see the parties owning
the barn and to see that the ofending
vehi?les were removed or the reason
for it not being done inquired into
by the city police.
In regard to the consolidation of
the fire equipment fund into that of
the fire department fund Chairman
Schulhof of the finance committee re
ported that on consultation with the
city attorney it had been foui.c! that
it would be impossible to consolidate
the two funds as they had eaoh been
included in the city levy and it would
not be possible to do anything until
the nexj. levy was made when the
fire equipment fund conld be dropped
The reason for the desire to close up
the fund is that the purpose for
which it was created had been accom
plished in the purchase of the new
equipment for the fire department
and that in making the settlement,
through an error the fire department
fund ?vul been drawn against instead
of the fire equipment and it was to
see that this matter was straightened
out that the council has been endeav
oring to get the transfer made.
The finance committee also report
ed the approval of the insurance poi
icy of the Traveler's Insurance com
pany, for the city to carry their lia
bility insurance policy for the en
suing year and on motion the policy
was accepted and the premium of
$lS!.f0 ordered paid.
Mayor Schneider stated that he ha ",
sent a drag out to level up the crush
ed rock roads in the cemetery anc!
place them in proper condition
against the coming of the spring
weather and that this work would
make them first class in every way as
far as was possible.
Chairman Iverson of the lighting
committee stated that he had notified
the light company as to the removal
of a pole on Oak street as well as the
installing of a new light on North
8th street, but neither of these acts
had been carried out by the com
pany. Mr. Howe of the same com
mittee stated that the manager of the
light company had stated that he had
not been formally notified by the city
clerk in writing of the matter.
Councilman Will Mason who keeps
a watchful eye on the needs of his
baliwick reported that there were a
number of low places near Pearl and
11th street as well as on Seventh
street and that quite a good amount
of surplus dirt was piled up near
the residence of City Attorney Mar
tin on Pearl street and he suggested
that the city secure this dirt and
have it used in smoothing over the
low places, and the matter will be
acted on later when the street work
opens up again.
The matter of the bridge on west
Vine street near the west second ward
school was brought up for discussion
as the place is one that is dangerous
for travel. The council had this
matter under consideration for some
time and means for supplying the
needs of that portion of the city
discussed. This bridge has been out
of commission for the past year and
a half and at one time the county
commissioners had promised the coun
cil that the old steel bridge south of
the Burlington shops on the street
had been closed up. would be trans
ferred to this point so as to give the
residents of the west part of the city
a means of travel, but as Mayor
Schneider stated he had understood
that the bridge in question had been
ordered placed in the district south
of the city and unless the commis
sioners stuck to thehir original pro
mise and changed their last order
there would be no transfer of the
bridge to west Vine street. The need
of a bridge on Maiden Lane was also
discussed and this too will be taken
up with the county commissioners.
Councilman Brittain raised the
ouestion as to the working hours for
I the chief of police and desired to
I know at what time he was supposed
. to go on" and off duty, but none of the
councilmen "were qualified to give this
i information although most of them
thought he should put in the larger
portion of the day on the job.
Mayor Schneider stated that he had
made no decision on the matter of a
fire chief but would consult with the
new fire department by the time of
the next meeting of the council and
hoped to have some one selected who
might be i:gre"able to all parties con
cerned. The finance committee of the coun
cil after a careful examination of the
claims against the city teported the
following r, cm-rest and their pay
ment was ordered and following
which the council adjourned:

SOUTH SIDE
HIGH LOSES A
FAST GAME
STINKTOWN TEAM DEFEATED EY
PLATTSMOUTH HIGH LAST
SATURDAY NIGHT.
The local hii;h school basket ball
team adde another victory to their
string on Saturay night', when they
defeated The fast South Side high
school team, of Omaha, and after a
fast and furious battle. the score
tood :!0 to 29 in favor of the bat
tling Plattsmouth live.
The game was characterized by
much roughness as the visitors were
loaded with rough stuff, but in this
they found their equal in the husky
local team and did not progress far
in that line of tactics and it failed
to bring the desired victory.
The attendance was quite large
and the locals were cheered by their
friends as they buttled the packing
house city bunch and made them
take the loser's portion of the game.
This is the second victory of the
week as the locals took the Have
lock team into camp Friday evening
by the decisive score of ;S to 3 and
but for the kindness of the referee
the visitors would have been score
less In this game Sat tier, captain
of the locals, was the chief basket
securer, as lie- added fifteen baskets
to his credit and aided materially in
the victory of his organization.
In the game Saturday night he
threw six of the eleven field goals
and successfully caged eight free
throws, thus making 20 of the 30
.(points scored by the locals.
SOUTH OMAHA LADS
LAND IN THE BRIG
Too Much Enthusiasm and Disturb
ance at Hotel Wagner Leads
to Their Confinement.
In the early watches of Sunday
morning the members of the South
Side basket ball team and a number
of their friends who had accompanied
them here, started a disturbance at
the Hotel Wagner by giving vent to
their youthful enthusiasm through
shouting and making a large amount
nf noise that proved very annoying
to the other guests of the hotel and
led to Mr. Creamer, the night clerk,
summoning the police and Officer Al
vin Jones appeared on the scene and
took the situation in hand and or
dered seven of the young men to
dress and get read to accompany him
to jail, which they did.
The seven boys spent the few re
maining hours of te night in the
confines of the bastile and would
have spent a much linger time there
but for the kindness of Mayor H. A.
Schneider. Mr. Schneider, who is
himself a good soout and having had
experience of traveling with basket
ball and base ball teams, felt com
passion for the boys whose punish
ment was adequate to the offense
committed, and accordingly visited
the jail yesterday morning and al
lowed them to go on their way back
to their homes.
The boys did not commit any
depredations at the hotel aside from
their loud talk and yelling and as
it is a common fault of most teams
of this kind when they get away
from home for a good time, the ac
tion of the mayor was decidedly the
right one to lake and leaves a better
impression of the city with the visi
tors from South Town.

as the lads of younger years and in
fact some of the older men showed
adeptness in the games that was a
surprise even to themselves. During
the progress of the games a knock
at the door revealed the fact that a
stranger was without garbed in the
costume of the old time farmer and
insistent on coming in despite the
fact that he had no boy with him,
which had been one of the require
ments of admission, an daccordingly
he was refused admission, but on
promising to sing he was allowed to
come in and it was discovered that
it was Don C. York and his number
a laughing song, was much en
joyed. The games continued until 9:."i0
when the luncheon was served and
the feast of good things provided by
the committee proved ample for the
jolly crowd and as the members of
the party were served in cafeteria
style the spirit of fun continued un
til the very last when the fact of
the lights going out signaled the
close of the evening although it had
been expected to enjoy some further
time in pleasure 1 ut the electric
lights which have a habit of'goi'ig
out when most needed followed true
to form and brought the evening to
a close shortly after 10 o'clock.
