SPEEDER GETS NABBED
From Friday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock
the persons along Main street were
rather startled at the exhibition of
speed made by a motorist who drove
up the street at a very high rate of
speed and at first it was thought
that some one was trying to reduce
the world's record for fast driving.
Presently the car was seen coming
back dwn the street at an even great
er burst of speed and the car drove
to the foot of Main street where it
turned south.
At this time Sheriff E. P. Stewart
was comine down the street in his

Last evening at the court of Police
Judge William Weber was heard the
details of the finding of a small bot

Wednesday evening.

From Thursday's Dally
The visit here of four gentlemen
from Omaha last evening was marred
somewhat by the fact that Officer
William Heinrichsen discovered in
their Ford roadster which was park
ed near Fifth and Main street late
last evening a bottle that contained
about a half pint of what is claimed
to be rye whiskey. The owner or
the car gave the name of W. J. Prall
when he was taken into custody by
the police officer.

SELECT NEW MANAGER
From Thursday's Daily:
The members of the Plattsmouth
baseball team who received the resig
nation of their manager. Clarence
Beal, have elected to that position,
John F. Wolff, the veteran basebail
player, and who would rather enjoy
a good ball game than a full meal.
The members of the team have not
as yet received assurance of whether
or not Mr. Wolff will accept the posi
tion, but are hopeful of inducing
him to accept the position.
The team haB also selected as the
catain for the season, Herbert Klaus
chie, one of the fast outfielders on
the team, and who will act as the
field general for the season.
The team has found itself handi
capped in the catching department
and if they play on Sunday, as they
hope to be able to do, Mr. Klauschie
will substitute in this department un
til a catcher can be secured for the
term. Pete Herold, who has in the
past served as the catcher of the
team is to play at the third sack in
which position he is considered very
valuable and thus the team will have
to make a search for a backstop for
the season.
SEARCHING FOR LIQUOR
From Thursday's Daily
Last evening Chief of Police El
liott and Deputy Sheriff Rex Young
were kept very busy patrolling the
down town section on the outlook for
any persons or person that might be
engaged in the violation of the pro
hibition law and the two officers
spent the greater part of the night
surveying the situation and watch
ing for those who might be prying
off the lid to some extent. The oth
er members of the police force were
also active in lookinsr up hot trails
that promised to uncover something
but only one case of the booze be
ing captured was the result but the
officers evidently threw a bad scare
into several of the revellers.

RESOLUTIONS
ADOPTED BY DEMO
CRATS YESTERDAY
County Convention Gees on Record
as Favoring Tax Reduction
and Code Repeal.
Fmm Friday's Daily
The Democrats of Cass county in
convention assembled, reaffirm their
faith in the principles of the Demo
cratic party as exemplified in state
and nation today. The scandals in
nearly every department of the gov
ernment in Washington have become
n national disgrace. Profiteers, jrraft-
ers and those seeking special favors
have demanded and received such
special favors for their support. The
public lands have been exploited and
the Department of Justice has been
inactive while administration favor-
i ites have been allowed to pillage and
plunder. The Veteran's Bureau graft
and the Teapot Dome scandal are
I illustrations of what is going on in
Washington today. The situation de
mands a housecleaning and a return
to honesty in government and we j
anxiously await the opportunity tOj
help restore the Democratic party to'
I power.
