The
organization in the city,
ittendance on the cloving
r.i.i.t reached tin i.-' mark ami
was reallv too large lor the pleasure
of the merrymakers and those in
charge of the l.ooths found difficulty
in handling: the sales, so dense was
the throng and at times it was im
ni? ihle for many who ciesir.-d to
make purchases to reach the booths.
The chief attraction of the car
nival Saturday night was the giving
away cf the Ford touring car which
had been purchased by the Legion
from the T. H. Pollock Auto com
pany and on which chances had been
sold during the past ten days. The
Legion decided that the method of
drawing should be entirely as the
public wished and as tar as the ac
tual draw in
er the numbers for the!
car was concerned the Legion boys;
lunl no part. Two little girls drew
three numbers from the total of the
coupons in a large glass bowl and
'these were placed in a cigar box.
from which a third little girl, also
selected from the audience, drew the
winning number, which wa? No. ;;!!.
and held by Waldemar Soennichsen.
Mr. Poetinieh.-en was warmly con
gratulated by his friends on his good
luck ar.d will have the opportunity
of enjoying many a pleasant spin
the new car.
jjj j
The giving away of the real "lnel
I aby" had attracted at ten t ion f hard- j
ly less than that of the Ford draw- j
ing and many were heard during
the last two weeks protesting against j
giving away the "baby" as an in-i
fuman proceeding and one that I
should not be tolerated. However,
the members of the Legion were not
as iiard hearted as had been supposed
and the "baby" proved to be a
i-.mu i
and was won by Dr. R. P. Westover,
who is now at home on the excuse
that he has "to play with the kid.
or at least this is what his friends
are reporting.
The immense number present made
dancing almo.-t an impossibility in j
the hall and it was not until late
in the evening that dancing was i
started by the committee in charge, j
It is not possible to accurately
state the amount of money that will ;
be realized by the Legion above their i
actual expenses, hut it will run in
the neighborhood of $1,700 it is be
lieved. '
The general public were enthusi
astic in support of the Legion mem
bers and their efforts aided in swell
ing the amount that will be realiz
ed and the business men of the city
were more than generous in their
aid of the carnival, donating a great
amount of handsome and useful ar
ticles that entered into the country
store feature of the carnival and al
so being among the most '-nthusias-tic
boosters and patrons at the big
event all during the three days of
fe-t i vi y.
The members of Hugh Kearns post
of the American Legion feel grate
ful to the citizens of Platismouth in
every way tor their hearty co-operation
in making the carnival the big
success it was and demonstrating
that the public is behind the work
of the Legion.
In reviewing the work of the fair
and carnival it would not be just to
omit mention of the splendid work
that V. It. Holly, chairman of the
carnival committee of the Legion has
done in making the affair a success,
as he has been tirelessly on the job
of directing the work and was ably
assisted by the live wire members
of the Legion.
Aside from the amount necessary
to improve the memorial plat in the
local cemetery belonging to the post,
the remainder of the money will be
placed on interest to await the time
when it may be used in the buil ling
of a suitable home for the Legion.
LEAVES FOR THE WEST
"rom Tuesday's Dally.
Last evening Emil A. Koukal and
Fred Newman departed for Mountain
Home. Idaho, where they are expect
ing to reside in the future on a home
stead in that locality. Both of the
young men are former service men.
-Mr. Koukal having been with the
137th infantry in the 35th division
during the service of that organiza
tion in France and was severely gass
ed from the effects of which he has
never entirely recovered and which
has made it necessary for him to
seeek a higher climate to reside in.
Mr. Newman was one of the men
called from Cass county at Camp
Funston and later joined the artil
lery units at Camp Pike. Arkansas,
where he served as Instructor for the
duration of the war.
The two young men are hopeful
that they may find a- suitable loca
tion in the western country where
they nay engage in farming.

RETIRES AFTER 39
YEARS OF BUSINESS
Herman Spies Retires After Having
Conducted Cigar Factory Here
Since June, 1832.
This morning for the first time in
a period of thirty-nine years the
doors of the cigar store and factory
of Herman Spies failed to open for
business and marked the formal clos

ir making in the fac-
tory of Julius I'epperberg in this
city and for six years was so en
gaged until in June. when he
j secured the building on lower Main
street that had been previously oc
cupied by Joseph McVey and here
he launched into business for himself
and took up the manufacture of the
1 rands of cigars that he has made so

! ...m: i i
hince establishing his business here
Mr. Spies has neer missed a day at
active work and for "S5 days a year
h has been on the job and as he
stated to the Journal reporter, he
occasionally was able to get in an ex
tra day on leap year which is cer
tainly a record of long and faithful
labor. During this long period of
years he has never enjoyed a single
vacation and the close of his business
I Ml t. ,
will give hira the opportunitv of en
joying that -which he has so long
looked forward too a rest and a
period of recreation from the tire
less grind of the factory and store.
Mr. Spies is expecting to spend the
-oming week in closing up his affairs
here and will then depart for the
Pacific coast where he will take a va
cation trip and also look over the
prospects of a new location in that
portion of the country as he believes
the climate there will be more bene
ficial to his health than this. Mr.
Spies states that he will, however,
always retain a warm spot in his
heart for the good people of Platts
mouth and the friends that he has
known during his long residence in
this citv.

This morning Civile Kaufmann de
parted on the eirly Burlington train
i'rr Omaha, where he goes to enjoy
a visit in that city with his sister.
Mrs. May Hiatt, for a short time and
may locate in that place for the
j. :p-ii: at leas?. .
Clyde has been here visiting at
the home of his fo.-ter mother, Mrs.
i'.Wy.H Kaufmann and other relatives
ar.d friends for the pa-it few days
and this has been his fir.-t visit here
for several years as he has been fir
the greater part of 'he last four years
in the Fnited States army. Mr.

nearing Hoods of war and shortly
after severance of diplomatic rela
tions with German in February 1917,
lie enlisted in the army ami was sent
to the coast artillery ayd stationed
for a time at San Francisco and also
;t Honolulu, but later returned to the

brought their recall and on returning
to the States he was sent back to tho
Pacific coast, remaining there until
his discharge about a year and a half
ago.
Since his discharge from the army.
Mr. Kaufmann has been engaged in
railroading for the Southern Pacific,
firing on the line from Oakland to

It is needless to say the many
friends of this young man were more
than pleaded to see him and have the
opportunity of a visit with him.
LOUISVILLE LADIES
HAVE EXCITING TIME
Secure Auto For Joy Ride and Find
That Machine is Not as Easy to
Handle as They Supposed
Two young lady students at the
Louisville high school. Misses Clara
Haddon and Rala Edgerton. had a
very exciting experience with an au
to the last of the week and one that
they will not soon forget. It seems
that the two girls were desirous of
having a little joy ride and accord
ingly, seeing the car of Kollin Coon's,
a friends, standing parked on the
street decided that it was the oppor
tunity they had been looking for and
with a hairpin unlocked the starting
mechanism of the car and started out
on a little spin. They drove down
to the neighborhood of Manley and
for the first few miles everything
went lovely, but the steering appar
atus of the car was not acting as it
should and the first thing the two
girls knew the car was piled up in
the highway, turned over on its side.
Fortunately the two occupants were
not seriously injured although they
were badly shaken up and bruised.
The two ladies were relieved in
their distress by William Wendt, one
of the well known farmers of that
locality who took them on into Louis
ville and they are now decidedly off
the auto as a means of travel.
WOLVES AND COY
OTES ARE NUMEROUS

This morning the office of County
Clerk George R. Sayles resembled a
live stock exchange with scalps of
coyotes and several baby wolves be
ing turned over to the clerk to se
cure the county that the state has
offered for them. Fred Rutherford,
living north of this city was one of
the men securing the live wolves as
he discovered a den of wolves on his
farm yesterday that netted five tiny
wolves, but the mother escaped or
rather was not at home when the
capture was made. William Neu
mann. Jr.. of near Louisville, also
unearthed a den of coyotes at his
home yesterday and brought in eight
scalps this morn'ing to receive the
reward of $3 each which the state is
now paying.
The last few days saw quite as
goodly number brought in for the
bounty as John F. Gauer of Cedar
Creek captured eleven coyotes. W. O.
Troop of near Plattsmouth. six. and
A. B. Fornoff of near Cedar Creek,
seven.
During the month of April, fifty
nine scalps were turned in at the
office of the county clerk.

DOING SOJIE MOVING
from Tuesday's Pallv.
The firm of J. H. McMnken & Sons,
who are experts in the moving line,
have been handling some very heavy
propositions in the last few days and
one of these was the unloading of a
six ton pump from one of the Wood
Brothers boats to prepare it for ship
ment to Ilulo. Xeb.. to be used in
construction work.
Yesterday the McMaken forces
were engaged in moving the safe of
the city of Plattsmouth from its loca
cation in the jewelry store of B. Aj
McElwain to the office of the new
city clerk. A. H. Dux bury and as this
entailed the moving of the safe up
stairs it required some real work on
the part of the movers to get the
safe up the rather narrow stairs, but
it was accomplished and is now lo
cated in the new quarters.
SUFFERS BROKEN ARM
Saturday evening while Mrs. W.
A. Rouse, who resides in the old
Champan property on Chicago ave
nue, was descending the stairs at the
home she had the misfortune to fall
and as the result suffered the frac
ture of the rinl arm as well as hs
;nc foverely bruised and injurvd.
Just how the accident occurred is
hard -to tell as the last recollection
Mrs. Rouse has of the matter is step
ping on the first step of the stairway
and from there plunged down the
entire flight of steps.
Medical assistance was summoned
as soon as the accident occurred and
the fractured member set and the
patient made as comfortable as pos
sible although she is still suffering
more or less pain from the injuries
received.

LEARNS OF DEATH
OF AGED FARMER
Mrs T. .E. Olson of This City Receives
Word of Passing of Her Father
at Heme in Old Country
i he sad news hr.s been received
by Mrs. T. K. Olson of the death of
her father. John Peter Johnson, at
iiis home at llolmstead. Sweden, on
April ;th. at the advanced age of
eighty-seven years. It has been more
than twenty-five years since Mrs. Ol
son has hact the opportunity of see
ing the old heme across the sea as
she ha? not revisited that country
since coming here as a young wo
man. For the past few years the
father has been in rather failing
health, due to his advancing years
and the death was not wholly unex
pected to the relatives and friends.
In keeping with the funeral custom
of Sweden the ceremony was not held
until the 15th of April, according to
the announcement received here by
Mrs. Oison.
All of the members of the family
are residing in Sweden with the ex
ception of Mrs. Olson of this city, and
a niece, who makes her home at
Bridgeport. Conn.
GIVES DETAILS OF DEATH
OF SON EARLY LAST WEEK
tren Tuesday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon Raymond.
Henry .of near Murray, was in the
city for a few hours looking after
some business matters. Mr. and Mrs.
Henry are the parents of Franklin
Henry, the young lad who was the
victim of the accident near Murray
last week that resulted in his death.
The first accounts of the accident
were rather vague and indefinite and
led to many conflicting stories as to
the manner of the death of the un
fortunate boy and the injuries re
ceived. It seems from what little is
known bv the members of the fam
ily that the team that Franklin was
leading became frightened and knock
ed him down and he was struck a
blow that caused death as there was
onlv one mark on the head of the
boy. The body was not mangled nor
was it injured by the wheel of the
wagon as had been reported.

One of the Cass county students at

Mr. Tefft is a member of the class :

rVm Tuesday' Daily.
Dr. B. F. Brendel of Murr.iv wa
in the city yesterday afternoon for a
few hours en route home from Omaha
v. here he has been having his right
hand treated lor an infection. Some
time ago Dr. Brendel ran several
splinters of wood into the palm of
the hand and at that time it wa not
thought to be a serious matter and
that most of the pieces of wood had
beet: voi ten out. Since then, how
ever, the hand has become iii?e sore
and it was neces.-ary to hae the in
jured member dressed at the hospital
and yesterday the doctor, in com
pany with Fred Hild. m:.de the trip

PORTION OF LOOT
IS RECOVERED
Ycung Lad Repotted to Have Un
eathed Greater Part of Loot in
Pasture Near Union.
The reports eminating from Union
tell of the uncovering there of a
portion of the stamps and other ar
ticles stolen from the postoffice of
that place some ten days ago and
which, places the shadow of doubt on
the theory that the robbery was com
mit! ed by the parties from Omaha
who were seen to pass through this
city on the morning of the robbery.
It seems that last Saturday morn
ing a young lad was working in the
pasture that belongs to the T. W.
Swan farm, a few miles north of
Union on the government highway
and in some way the boy dislodged a
stump and was surprised to find con
cealed beneath it a greater part of
the stolen property from the postot
fice. The boy reported the matters to
one of the neighbors residing near
the scene of the finding of the stolen
articles, such as stamps and a num
ber of parcel post packages, and the
loot was brought on into Union and
turned over to the postmistress. Mrs.
Fred Borne.
The case has been under the eye
of the operatives of the postal de
partment since the robbery and the
finding of the loot so near the scene
of the crime makes it appear in an
entirely different light than hereto
fore as the authorities had consid
ered that parties from Omaha had
committed the crime and made their
escape to that city.
PURCHASES NEW HOME
Dr. R. P. Westover has just com
pleted the negotiations for the pur
chase of the J. M. Roberts property
on high school hill, one of the most
attractive homes in that portion of
the city and one that will make the
Westover family an ideal home in
every way. Mrs. Roberts is expect
ing to erect a new home shortly on
the lot just west of the residence
purchased by Dr. Westover.
