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

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-'

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.

chusetts, and was made a member of
the Ancient, Free & Accepted Ma

also a member of the board of edul
cation of that city. For his splendid
services to the educational institu
tions of the state metropolis, he was
honored by the naming of one of the
city schools, "Long School." In his
earlier days in Omaha Mr. Long was
auditor of the Union Pacific railroad
and was acknowledged as one of the
active and prominent leaders in that
city. i
In the Masonic circles Mr. Long
rose to the position of grand com
cander of the Knights Templar of
Nebraska in the year 1SS2, and filled
that position with distinction and
honor.
His health has been -poorly for a
number of years and in 1916 he came
to the Nebraska Masoric Home here

Mr. Long was honored by the Ma
sonic fraternity of the state with
the Jordan gold medal, given to the

The body of Mr. Long was taken
to Omaha this afternoon where the

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
