fact that the bank wis robbed, but
by this time the robbers had been

TELLS OF WORKING
FOR CUTWRIGHT
Gus Hyers, Now State Sheriff, Car
ried Papers for Veteran Editor
Here Years Ago.
In the early eighties when the late
John W. Cutright published the
Plattsmouth Morning Star. State
Sheriff Ilyers, then a school boy, was
the office "devil." That was short
ly after Mr. Cutwright had severed
his connection with the Plattsmouth
Journal.
"But my job didn't last long," said
Mr. Hyers. "The paper soon ceased to
operate. My duties called me out of
bed at 4: SO a. m. I would go to Mr.
Cutwright's office each morning, get
a bur.dle of papers and distribute
hem to workraea in the Burlington
shops."
The prefent btate sheriff also took
a hand at turning the crank to the
cylinder press which ground out the
Morning Sun. He also learned to
feed the press. In those days Platts
mouth was on the boom. Street cars
were in operation and steamboats
pulled up to Main street by the de-J
pot. The state agent recalls two
thrilling experience- of Mr. Cut
wright while at Plattsmouth. j
"One man who?e feelings were
hurt 'because of a published article
took a shot at the editor. The bullet
hit the mark, but the injury was
not severe. It created a great com
motion in the town. On another oc
casion. Mr. Cutwright was hurled
down two flights of stairs by the
town's pet billy goat.
"I was employed by him in Platts
mouth. In Lincoln I was his neigh
bor and friend. This. I have con
sidered good fortune. He was a man
who was self-made. He helped cre
ate a healthier, heartier sentiment
among friends and neighbors. And
above all, he possessed that courage
which made him what he was fear
less, frank, honest and true. State

ATHLETIC CLUB MEETS
From Friday" Dfly.
Last evening the weekly gather
ing of the business men's athletic
club was staged at the high school
"gym" with the usual array of
thrilling and muscle racking exer
cises which W. G. Kieck has evolv
ed for the benefit of the members
of the class. The members of the
class take on the training before
the supper hour and the way thev
cssault the good things to eat that

they reach home is a caution.
C. D. Quinton and Countj Attorney
Cole were notified a few minutes af
ter the discovery of the rubbery and
at once drove to the scene of action,
off by the gang, wrecking the vault
and the safe, the doors of which were
torn off by the force of the explo-
sion and the contents of the safe. 1
estimated at $1,200 in money and;
between $4,000 and $5,000 in bonds;
and securities were taken.
Entrance to the bank building was:
gainea oy prying up a wiaaow in ine
rear of the building and from herej
the robbers had worked with rapid
ity and successfully completed their
work. The thoroughness cf the job
indicated that the men were Drofici-
eat safe blowers and familiar with
this class of work. The blasts were
set off at 2:50 and while it was only
a few minutes later that the bank
owners and the citizens were on the
scene of action, the men had made
their getaway.
It is thought by the residents of
Alvo that there were four men in
but the robbers had left r.o clue that
mient indicate their identitv.
The force cf the explosion of the
five charges of

! A YEAR FILLED WITH
MUCH ADVANCEMENT
jriviiur and Street Im
provement Marks Past Summer
Months lioie in Sight
The work has been commence! on
the last-part of the pavir.g program
jfor thp prfrc:it yoar and v-hich has
added a" great deal to the general ap
pearance of ihe cityind in provid
ing good, modern roadways. In the
past the high school hill, as well as
portions of Oak and Seventh streets
have been in bad shape after each
heavy rain, and in the spring season
but this li?5 been wiped out when
the paving program was put through
r.nd the residents there will certain
ly appreciate to the fullest the re
suits of the work when the rainy
season starts in.
Each time that a street is paved,
the city is saving money in the cut
ting down of the expense of main
taining the dirt roadways and this
is particularly true of the hill streets
where constant washing occurs af
ter each rain. If the money that has
been expended in the past in grad
ing and working on a great many of
the streets, had been saved, it would
more than pay for their paving, to
say nothing of the advantages of a
good permanent highway at all times.
The paving not only saves the tax
payers a great deal of money for
street work, but it also adds to the
value of the property that lies in
the special improvement districts of
the city.
In making these public improve
ments, the city council has at times
henn subjected to a great deal of
criticism as to doing the work, but
they have carried out their oath of
office to see that the best interests
of the city ere served and in almost
every case after the work has been
completed the property owners even
if they were opposed to making the
improvement, have acknowledged
that it was a much needed piece of
work and that it was just what was
needed to improve the city.
This year the .city has made a
new experiment in re-inforced con
crete paving and which will be
watchid with interest by the resi
dents of the city in view of the pav
ing outlines for next year. Main
street from Seventh to Tenth street;
Seventh street from Pearl to Elm;
Oak street from Sixth to Washing
ton avenue; two blocks on Xorth
Sixth. and the section of South
Fourth and Pearl streets have been
paved with the concrete and the out
come will be watched with interest,
as it is cheaper than the brick paving
and may be used on more of the res
idence streets.
The last meeting of the city coun
cil decided on the paving of Pearl
street from Seventh west to Tenth,
and which will possibly be complet
ed this fall and which will give that
part of the city excellent facilities
in the way of travel.
In regard to the Main street re
paving, the council is getting busy,
and while the district is being cre
ated it is doubtful if the work will
be undertaken until spring. How
ever, it is well to get it in shape, so
there
will be no delay when the
time comes.

The dance given last evening by

that has been of great benefit to
the young high school team this
season.
