force on the unfortunates.
A party of automobilists from the
Side Side of Omaha, who had
(visited here last evening filled with
i the desire to speed, were the first
o face the stern hand of justice.
Two men wee jolted for ten iron
' men and costs while the third of the
trio drew down 20 and costs on
the charge of disturbing the peace
and speeding.
A man giving the name of Joe
Johnson and his home at Omaha,
was brought up to answer to the
charge of being drunk and given a
fine of $10 and costs.
Tho Omaha speeders were the
cause of much annoyance to the of
ficers of the law last evening as they
were driving a large Packard and
realizing their speed paid little at
tention to the commands to halt
their car and were eventually caught
at the Platte river bridge.

WILLIAM BARCLAY,
PROMINENT EAGLE
Brief Sketch of the Life of Fellow
Townsmen Signally Honored
by F. 0. E. Convention
The new president of Nebraska
Aerie of the Fraternal Order of Ea
gles has for many years been one of
the strong supporter of the prinei
pies of the order at all times and
under all circumstance?-.
William M. Barclay was born in
Indianr. county. Pennsylvania. July
3, 1ST0. and spent his early boyhood
in the east, coming to Nebraska in
1SS0 and first located at Friend
where the family mado taeir home
for a great many years and where
the lad grew into manhood.
In tha year' 1904 Mr. L:. relay came
to Plattsmouth and has sin-e tiiat
lime, been actively identified with
the business life of the'eity and has
WILLIAM M. BARCLAY
Unanimously Named Today as Wor
thy President, Nebraska F. O. E.
for the past several years been
proprietor of one o? the largest
best equipped restaurant:", in
the
and
this
Mr.
the
section of the state.
Shortly after coming hero
Barclay becam interested in
Eagle aerie and his devotion to
the
order led to his rapid advancement
in the order ;Mid he was called to
occupy all of the chairs in the aerie
and was for two terms worthy pres
ident of the aerie. during which
time he secured great advancement
in membership and interest in the
order.
Mr. Barclay has been a delegate to
a number of the national meetings
of the Eagles and his experience
gained at the sessions there has aided
him in the advancement of the teach
ings of the order.
At the state aerie meeting at Lin
coln in 1916 he was selected as the
state outer guard, and at the Ne
braska City aerie in 1917 was chosen
inner guard. In 191S at the state
aerie held at Fremont he was named
as worthy chaplain and in 1919 ad
vanced at the state aerie at South
Omaha to the position of state wor
thy vice president, to which office he
was re-elected at the state aerie held
in 1920 at Falls City, after stepping
aside in order that A. P. Moran. who
was in army service during the war
and lost out on promotion to the
highest office, might be unanimously
named by the 1920 convention to the
presidency.
It was largely through his splen
did efforts that the state convention
was secured for Plattsmouth this
year.
The selection of Mr. Barclay as
state worthy president is but the rec
ognition of a real and true believer in
the teachings of Eagledom and he
will be found a gentleman who will
give the order his best services at all
times.
