Yesterday at Lincoln occurred the death of Mrs. Mary Buttery, a former resident of Plattsmouth and widow of Edward Buttery, one of the territor ial pioneers of this portion of Ne braska.

For the past sixteen years she has resided in Lincoln, where her daughter, Mrs. Robert Ballance, was residing and has been spending her declining year3 with the daughter.

A CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP OF MOVIE HOUSE LOCAL THEATRES AFFILIATE WITH THE HOSTETTLER ENTERPRISES. The Moreland theatre In this city, which haa for the past year been owned and controlled by K. More land, of Missouri Valley, Iowa, has just been purchased by the Parmele Theatre company, which has for the past few years been operating the Parmele theatre. The Parmele Theatre company in turn have affiliated their theatre business in this city with the Hos tettler Enterprises, a company that owns and operates a large string of theatres in Nebraska. Iowa. Missouri and Kansas. It is believed by Messrs Moore and Cloidt of the Parmele that this new alliance will insure to the people of the city the best pos sible screen offerings that can be found anywhere in the United States. The change in ownership of the Moreland will be made on Sunday, March 13th, and the smaller theatre will be known in the future as the Lyric. One of the plans of the new organization that will meet with the approval of the amusement loving public is that there will be no ad vance in price made at the Lyric or at the( Parmele, the prices of 10 and 20c at the Lyric and 15 and 25c at the Parmele being maintained. The securing of the special fea tures offered by the Hostettler com pany should enable the local theatre men to secure an even stronger ar ray of the masterpieces of the screen than they have had in the past, al though they have brought to this city many of the greatest film dramas that have been released in the last few years. The excellent results that Messrs. Moore and Cloidt have had in mak ing the Parmele a great success, speak well for their control of the smaller theatre they have purchased and they will do their utmost to see that the present high standard is maintained at both of the local playhouses. LINCOLN WON EAS ILY FROM NEB. CITY Capital City Legion Team Cops the District Championship. Loving Cup an' Everything. Jus.t how near the Plattsmouth Legion team came to winning the First congressional district cham pionship honors, can be realized by a comparison of the Lincolu-Platts-mouth score (1S-17) and the Lincoln-Neb. City score (15-9) the fol lowing night. Dopsters agreed Friday night that Lincoln had the best team in the tournament, with Plattsmouth fol lowing a close second and had the local quintette been able to continu ed their success of the first half of Friday night's game when they had Lincoln bested 12 to 4. they would undoubtedly have given Nebraska City equally as serious a jolt as did the Lincoln team Saturday night. The fact that Lincoln won entitles them to the silver loving cup as well as the honor of representing this dis trict at the state tournament to be held at Grand Island next week. This will prevent them from play ing any outside games until after the tournament, when renewed efffforts will be made to get them here for a game as well as one with Nebraska City before the end of this month.

Eugene Vroman is shy a ten spot, as a result of his visit, to Nebraska City with the basketball team last Friday night, for that is the amount it cost him to replace the set of spark coils there were stolen from his Ford while he was at the game. "Rip" was among the most ardent rooters for the Plattsmouth team and when the game was over had almost lost his voice through hoarse ness, but hen he got outside and discovered his loss be was able to still tax the vocal organs for even greater vociferous e.xpression than at the game.

FIRE DEPARTMENT -v. KEPT VERY BUSY Sunday Morning Alarms Give the Firemen Something to Do Be sides Sleep Peacefully. The shrill notes of the fire whistle arroused the members of the fire de partment shortly after 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, when the alarm was turned in notifying them that the residence property of J. W. Mar- quett, south of the Burlington shops was in flames and in a very few min utes the truck and members of the department were on the Fcene to aid in battling the flames. The fire originated in the roof of the house and was caused by a defective flue, it is thought. Quite a good deal of one side of the roof was destroyed, before the flames were controlled. The result of the fire will mean a loss of close to $50" which is par tially covered by insurance. The second alarm occurred later in the morning after the members of the department had returned to their homes and proved of little conse quence as it was caused by the burn ing of some grass on Wintersteen hill which was extinguished almost before the alarm was sounded.
