NO. 100 RIFLE RANGE TO BE GREATLY IMPROVED GOVERNMENT ORDERS WORK TO PROCEED AT ONCE WATER MAINS BEING LAID. First Lieutenant and Quartermast er James W. Dye, of the United States ! Army, from Fort Crook, has during the past few weeks made several trips to the government rifle range just north of this city, preparatory to taking steps for a wonderful Im provement in the range. Lieutenant Dye says he has orders from the gov ernment to proceed with the work, all of which will be of a permanent nature, and when completed will place the riattsmouth range second to none in the United States. Many of our people know what this will mean to our city. It not only means that this strip of bottom land will be extensively improved at a great expense to the government, as well as a spot of beauty and interest to many, but will bring thousands of people to our city each year. Water mains are being laid now for the connection with the bath houses and other preparations made for the arrival of the Nebraska Na tional Guard, composed of about fif teen hundred men, who will arrive here the first of August for target practice. About September 1st, the Seventeenth Infantry, composed of 600 men from Fort Omaha and Fort Crook will arrive here for a two months' stay during the months of September and October. Lieut. Dye says that the Platts mouth range is cne of the best situ ated spots for this purpose in the country and will accommodate all ranges of shooting at the same time, from the shortest to the longest, and without the slightest inconvenience to each other, and in his own lan guage "when completed will compare favorably to any in the United States." Now, here is where the city offi cials and the county commissioners should get busy at once and lend all possible aid ir making the range ac cessible by building a roaffway' "o'ut Eight street right up to the foot of Swallow hill, where the camp ground will be located. This roadway will also make one of the most beautiful driveway3 in the country, and should have been improved long ago. By the improvement of this road, all traffic between the forts and the range will be thrown through Platts mouth and this means many visitors in our city during the annual meet ings of the various companies and the National Guard, by their friends and relatives visiting them during their stay here. By all means let us show them that they are welcome. Build up the road from the bridge to the city and from the city to the range. Let mis ne one more piece oi worn 10 uejiu completed- this year, in fact right i away between now and the first of August, the time when the Nebras-1 ka National Guard will be with us Ltei us pui up a lew signs aiuug me way: "This town is Plattsmouth, Ne braska. Welcome to all. come again!" We are surely way behind the times in welcoming travelers to our city. Since the late activities of the American Legion with their carnival, the new free camp ground has been neglected. There are a number of improvements needed here at once for the accommodation of tourists if we expect them to camp with us. Let us take an example from other cities of our class over the country and extend a hearty welcome to all y weiiome iu un tourists traveling this way. First of, all by good roads and the free p ground I,t uS all bS for the ; new road to the range and the bet-' ter condition, in fact perfect condi-; tion of the road to the Platte river, Lieutenant Dye speaks well of ton railroad and who is known all Plattsmouth. our surroundings, and i oyer the system as one of the oldest Looii wat f th fiif the railroad employes. The de range, and through the instructions of the government he is preparing to make it a beautiful spot, so let us as citizens of Plattsmouth and Cass county show that we appreciate all the good things he has said and will do for us in the future, Everybody boost, and boost hard right now.

Member Federal Reserve ATTEMPT TO KID NAP JOHN E. HAZ ZARD CHILDREN Grandchildren of George E. Dovey of This City Threatened by Enemies at Their Home. The New York Evening Journal of June 20th has an account of the threats made by enemies to kidnap the children of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Hazzard, from their home at Great. Neck, Long Island. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Hazzard, are widely known in the theatrical profession, Mr. Hazzard being a well known author and com poser as well as musical comedy star, while Mrs. Hazzard was formerly Miss Alice Dovey, daughter of George E. Dovey of this city, and known largely for her work in the musical comedies of the last few years. The parents received the threa tening letters at their home and the affair seems to be a well planned plot to gain the possession of the children and to secure a revenge on the tamily, altro the reason for tlie attitude of the supposed kidnappers has not been revealed. District Attorney Weeks of Nas sau, New York, where the family re sides, has been hunting the author of the anonymous letter which was reecived a week ago by the Hazzard family but which has been kept se cret in the hopes of securing the au thor of the letter. The part of the letter given out reads: "Your children are going to be kidnapped, no matter how long it takes. This is my revenge." This letter follows an attempted robbery of the Hazzard home last April and the police and authorities are connecting or seeking a clue in the two affairs that may reveal the author of the threatening letter. The children are being guarded in the Hazzard home in fear that the blow may come at any moment from the parties threatening them. Ther are two children. Jack, Jr., and Ann Parr. The receipt of the threat to the children has caused more or less ap prehension from the family in this city and they await with Interest the efforts of the New York author ities to run down the party or par ties that have caused the trouble.
