i ENJOINS CITY
COUNCIL FROM
; GOING AHEAD
WITH LETTING OF NEW PAYING,
CONTRACT AFTER THEIR
OWN RESCINDED.
HEARING SET FOR AUGUST 3RD
And In the Meantime Bids of Last
Night Were Not Opened Is
in Tangled Condition.
From Tuesday's tany.
The proposition of letting a con
tract for the paving in Districts Xos.
26, 27 and 2S, which was to have
been taken up by the city council
last evening was pushed into the dis
card temporarily when a restraining
order was served on the mayor and
councilmen at 7 o'clock against their
taking any action in the matter. The
restraining order was secured late in
the afternoon In the office of the
clerk of the district court.
This injunction, secured by the
Modern Construction Co., of this city,
which was first awarded the contract
that was later rescinded by the coun
cil at its meeting last Monday night
on the grounds that its legality was
questioned by the fact that the mem
bers of the family of Councilman Mc
Maken were members of the company,
was so worded as to prevent award
ing of a second contract until hear
ing of the matter in the district
court Friday.
In view of the injunction, when
the council assembled, it was decided
that it would be unjust to the bid
ders to open and tabulate the bids
until after the disposition of the In
junction proceedings and accordingly
on the motion of Councilman John
Sattler, seconded by Councilman
Iiestor, the matter wa3 laid, over un
til next Monday evening, as the time
of hearing of the case ha3 been set
for Friday, August 3rd. at 10 o'clock
in the morning in the district court.
The Modern Construction Co. con
tends that Councilman McMaken haa
no interest in the company as it Is
now constituted, and that the pre
vious contract in which they were
found the lowest bidders and award
ed the contract should stand as a
legally awarded contract and that
they should be allowed to go on
with the work as under the terms of;
the plans and specifications.
The meeting of the council had at
tracted a great deal of attention from
the residents of the various paving
districts Just created and the cham

sourl river In the year 1855 and es
tablished themselves at the then
flourishing town of Rock Bluffs and

MAKE THE PEDDLERS
GOME ACROSS WITH
OCCUPATION TAX
Chief of Police Jones Keeps Visitors
in the City from Selling House
to House without It.
From Tuesday's Dally.
The practice of persons dropping
into the city to peddle from house to
house and not complying with the
city occupation tax ordinance has
been cut down to a large extent by
the efforts of Chief of Police Alvin
Jones and City Clerk Duxbury who
camp on the trail of the violators of
the ordinance and see that the city
treasury gets its just share of the
proceeds of the occupation tax.
The fact that the chief has a car
of his own now makes it much easier
to round up the parties who are re
ported from different parts of town
and he usually arrives on the scene
early in the game and gets the money
for the city before the salesmen are
doing business very long.
As the result of the watchfulness
of the chief and the clerk, the city
strong box has received a great deal
more funds than would have other
wise been possible.

BURLINGTON TEAM
TAKES GAME FROM..,
SWIFT'S SUNDAY
Score is 4 to 1 in Favor of Locals
Strong Makes a Circuit Drive
that Cinches Game.
From Monday's Dai:y.
Yesterday afternoon after a delay
far beyond the scheduled hour for
the game, the Plattsmouth Burling
ton baseball team and the team of
the Swift Packing company of Oma
ha tangled on the local lot in an
event that resulted in the Platts
mouth team coming off the winners
by the score of 4 to 1.
The scoring was practically all m
the opening inning as it was in the
first half of the inning that the visi
tors garnered their lonely tally when,
with a man on the sacks, Strong made
a poor peg to second and allowed
the runner to score. In the local half
of the inning the opposing pitcher
was decidedly wild and without con
trol and hit two of the locals and
which later proved his undoing. Carl
Strong, one of the best of the ama
teur players in this part of the state,
at this stage of the game unlimbered
and placed the ball over the left gar
den fence for a home run, giving the
locals a safe lead, which they held
until the end of the game.
The locals scored again in the sev
enth inning when Strong was given
his base by being hit by the oppos
ing pitcher and when Swanson hit
along the third base territory, Strong
registered at the plate for the con
cluding score of the game.
The visiting team was delayed in
arriving at the ball grounds owing to
the fact of. the very muddy and slick
roads north of the riatte river, where
a heavy rain fell yesterday afternoon
and the car in which the team was
riding skidded into the ditch and
made a delay of some time before they
could get back into the road and
reach here to play the game.
The pitching yesterday was han
dled by Herbert Swanson, one of the
reliable members of the "Q" team,
and he was in the best of form, al
lowing but few hits and these scat
tered through- the game so that they
were not dangerous. Pete Herold was
at the third sack while Pressley did
the work In the short territory and
Erickson occupied the center garden
in place of Herb Klautsch, who was
absent from the city.

GRESHAM YOUNG
PEOPLE HAVE AN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Auto Collission Near Neliawka Sat
urday Afternoon Injures Young
Man Quite Severely.
From Monday" DaiH.
Saturday afternoon j while Harley
Eckland, Glen Sack and Miss Marga
ret Boutell, young people of Gresham,
Nebraska, were en route to this city
to enjoy a visit with Rev. F. E.
Pfoutz and family, they Mere the vic
tims of a rather serious auto accident
in the vicinity of Nehawka.
From the story of the accident as
given by the young people, it seems
that they were driving east on the O
street road r.nd when passing a cross
road. Dr. Harris of Nehawka came
forth in his car and the members of
the Gresham party were unable to
get out of the way as the front
wheels of. their car seemed to lock
and caused the car to refuse to an
swer to the steering wheel and be
fore any of the parties realized the
danger the two cars met head on and
as the result the car of the Gresham
party was badly damaged.
Harley Eckland was the most for
tunate of the party as his injuries
were very slight while Glen Sack was
struck on the head and had quite a
severe ga.h cut in the scalp and was
suffering from the accident for hours
after. Miss Boutell was cut and
bruised somewhat in the accident.
The injured members of the party
were brought to Plattsmouth by one
of the passersby and their injuries
were dressed by Dr. P. J. Flynn and
the young people were taken to their
destination at the Pfoutz home. For
several hours after reaching here,
the condition of Mr. Sack was con
sidered quite grave, as It was feared
that he might be suffering from in
ternal injuries, but this fortunately
did not develop and the young people
are all feeling in very good shape
today barring a little soreness and
stiffness.
TELLS OF PIONEER
DAYS OVER RADIO
Ezra Meeker, 93, Speaks to WOAW's
Large Invisible Audience on
Saturday Evening.
"Friends, you who hear my voice
transmitted through the ether can
scarcely realize my feeling of emo
ti6n and amazement at this moment.
Born nearly ninety-three years ago,
before the advent of the railroads, I
am using the newest and possibly
the most' remarkable forces develop
ed in these days of scientific miracles
to bring before your minds 'The Ox
Team days on the Oregon Trail,' days
and movements in which I took a
part seventy years ago."
Thus Ezra Meeker, 93-year-old
president of the Pioneers of America
Film corporation, opened a brief
sketch of history of the Oregon Trail,
which he broadcasted over Station
WOAW, at Omaha, Saturday night.
Was Striking Figure
Of patriarchal appearance but ac
tive of movement and clear of voice
he made a striking figure as he
spoke into the powerful transmitter
at the Woodmen of the World station
that carried his words to hearers
thousands of miles distant.
He sketched the hardships, ro
mance and adventures cf pioneers
and the perseverance that enabled
them to build the great empire of
the west.
He told of his first trip in 1853
in a covered wagon drawn by an ox
team, which carried his young wife
and infant son, now a man of 70, and
of trips in 1906 and 1910 in the
same conveyance that resulted in hav
ing 160 granite monuments and
markers put up jointly by states and
the federal government to commemo
rate the great trail and some of the
historic events that took place upon
It.

SANDLOTTER GOES
TO THE BIG LEAGUE
Eddie Hazen Well Known Here in
His Early Days as Fast Ball
Players to Have Chance
Froir Tuesday's Dall
The Plattsmouth baseball fans
will readily recall Eddie Hazen,
former fast Omaha sandlotter who
was seen here frequently in the past
years with a number of the fast
Omaha teams when they came to this
city to play and his admirers will be
pleased to learn that he is to shine
in the big show in the baseball world,
having been sold to the Washington
team of the American league and is
now on his way to the national cap
ital to play with the Griffs, according
to a message received in Omaha by
his father.
Young Hazen was signed up by
the Laurel, Miss., club of the Cotton
States league early this season. As
right fielder for Laurel, Eddie led
the league in hitting, with an aver
age better than .360 and also led
the league's base stealers. A New
Orleans paper lauded him as one of
the "finds'" of the 1923 season, prais
ing his fielding, in addition to citing
his league-leading tendencies In the
hitting and base-stealing lines.
Last week Laurel sold Hazen to
Memphis of the Southern league. The
cash consideration netted Hazen him
self, a "neat sum," which his father
did not care to disclose, says today's
World-Herald. Last night the tele
gram from Eddie, under date of
Mount Roanoke, W. Va., brought the
newis that he had been sold to the
Senators "and " was en-houte to his
new club.
Eddie learned to play ball on Om
aha sandlots. He won prominence in
Class A amateur ball and semi-pro
ball, when he was but 17 years old.
After several years of successful base
ball in minor league he has now been
given his,lirst opportunity to shine in
major league "time."
A VERY UNIQUE PLANT i
From Tuesday's Dalit.
While at Washington a short time
ago, Attorney D. O. Dwyer of this
city made a visit to the old Washing
ton home at Mt. Vernon and was im
pressed by the beautiful boxwood
hedge that surrounds the entrance
to the grounds of the home of the
first president of the nation, and
while there purchased a small plant
of the boxwood that he brought home
with him and which he has placed at
the Bates Stationery store and where
it is the object of a great deal of In
terest ot the visitor. From the ap
pearance of the small plant an idea
may be gained of the great beauty
of a hedge of this old English hedge
plant that is found in evidence in the
old estates in England.

PANY RESUMES
Plant at Nehawka Recently Sold at
Receiver's Sale is Again Turn
ing Out Cement Mixers.
From Tuesdays Dally.
The Sheldon Manufacturing com
pany, which has been one of the
leading industrial plants in the west
and has had a very strenuous time in
the financial seas during the past
year has emerged from the bankrupt
cy proceedings and following the sale
of the plant under referee proceed--ings
has again started in on the work
of turning out the machinery that
has made this plant well known over
the country and In fact ovtr the
world.
Mr. Ray Kratz haB charge of the
active manufacturing work as the
foreman of the plant, a position that
he occupied prior to the world war
when he enlisted and served through
the war and has only recently re
turned to Nehawka. His brother.
George Kratz, is on the road looking
after the placing of orders for mater
ial and also the sale of the output of
the plant, while George C. Sheldon
is at the head of the sales depart
ment at the factory and handles the
mail orders that come in and which
gives the plant a real working force
that tends for the utmost efficiency.
The plant itself is operated by John
Griffin, Milton Hilton and Emmott
Hicks, all three of whom have had
experience in this line of work and
are capable gentlemen in every way.
POISONERS OF DOGS
AGAIN ARE ACTIYE
Residents of South Part of the City
Find Their Pets Being Killed
Off in This Manner.
The residents of the south portion
of lhe city have discovered in the last
few days that their pet dogs have
been dying quite rapidly as the result
of poison that has been put out by
someone in that locality and which
has already resulted in the death of
a very valuable dog of Gus Kopp and
which was a great favorite and play
mate of the children of the neigh
borhood. While there are often cases where
dogs in a neighborhood become a
menace to the residents, there is a
relief in making complaint to the
proper authorities who will attend to
the matter and shoot the animal if
necessary, but the practice of parties
taking it onto themselves to get rid
of their neighbors' pets by placing
poison out in the neighborhood is
one of the worst measures that can
be thought of by anyone and as the
result of it the poor animals suffer
a horrible death and every animal in
the neighborhood is menaced by the
danger of getting the poison.
The distribution of poison is a
very underhanded way of doing and
the parties who do this are causing
a great deal of trouble to their neigh
bors to gratify probably some small
personal spite.
Advertise your wants.
