a visit of several weeks at the home
of John W. Chapman and family
near Willard, Montana, returned
home today. Mr. McCarty brought
'back with him several specimens of

certainly great advertisements of the
products of the state of Montana
Mr. Chapman has had one of the
best crops this ye-ar that he has ever
had since locating in Montana and
in all lines of the farm products
there has been an abundant yield.
In addition to the crops, Mr. Chap
man has a number of fine hogs fat

man a fine flock of turkeys that she
is raising for the market and from
the yield of the farm this year they
will realize a fine showing.

WRECKED CAR IS
STRIPPED ON THE
ROAD NEAR HERE
Drive-It-Yourself Co. Finds Car
Stripped of Everything But Body
Sonth cf This Ctty.
t From Thursday's Pally
Yesterday morning the Drive-it-Yourself
company of Omaha leased
i one of their cars to a gentleman,
j who had expected to drive it to Lin
coln and who was to be gone four
I days on the trip. The car made the
trip to this city nicely and yesterday
: afternoon when the driver was tra
i veling south on the highway near
j the B. W. Livingston farm just
J south of this city one of the front
! wheels came off and the trip was
j abandoned dight there.
The driver of the car called the
Drive-It Yourself Co., in Omaha and
last night they sent down a repre
senative of the company to repair
the car and take it on back into
Omaha. Judge the suprise of the re
pair outfit when they reached the
scene of the accident to find all that
remained of the once prepossessing
Ford was the mere body. The police
had brought the tires on into the
city for safekeeping but someone
else had proceeded to strip off every
movable part that they could get
loose and even took the doors off
the car. The engine was left with
the framework of the car and where
the rest of the car disappeared to is j
still a mystery.
Anyone who finds it necessary to
leave a car along the roadside had
better remain there with a shotgun
to guard it or the whole car will
disappear.

TRAVELERS REPORT
5 -ii I - ST Wm
ON ROAD NEAR CITY
Parties' Coming Through in Auto
mobiles Complain of Having
Them Stopped.
From Friday's Iaily
In the last few days there has
been more or less complaint made by
tourists that they are being stopped
along the highways in this vicinity
by parties and in some cases their
ears searched altho the men making
the search were offering no apparent
authority for their acts.
Inquiry at the office of the county
authorities reveals the fact that as
far r.s know the only searches made
have been by Sheriff Stewart or Dep
uty Sheriff Young and Constable
Svoboda in the enforcement of the
prohibition law and these have been
made only when the parties search
ed were advised as to who was mak
ing the search.
The unauthorized stopping of cars
and searching of them by parties not
engaged in the enforcing of the law
is a matter that should receive' in
vestigation and if it is found that
there is a practice being made of
this there should be a stop put to it.
The traveler, whether a local party
or a stranger, has a right to travel
the highway in peace and order as
long as they are not violating any
law and if they do the county has
perfectly well qualified officers to en
force the law.
These cases of cars being stopped
are largely after night and should be
looked into as to the why and where
fore. RESOLUTIONS

From Friday's IaHy
Mrs. L. A. Dodge, figed 74, of Fre
mont, is dead, and Mrs. Anna Larson
and son, Raymond, also of Fremont,
severely Injured as the result of an
auto accident thut occurred yester
day afternoon on the highway be
tween Murray and Union.
The car in which the two ladies
were riding was being driven by
Raymond Larson, and te party were
heading south along the highway,
enroute to Excelsior Springs, Mis
souri, where they had expected to
visit. The driver of the car states
that when they were near Union a
passing car, a Dodge roadster, bear
ing Iowa county license No. 5, sud
denly swung in front of the car Lar
son was driving, striking tho left
front wheel of the Larson car and
hurling it over and into the ditch,
the car making three complete revo
lutions. Mrs. Dodge and Mrs. iarson were
thrown clear of the wrecked auto,
but the driver, Raymond Larson,
was pinned beneath the car end re
mained there for twenty minutes un
til passing autoists were able to get
the wrecked car up sufficient to allow
his getting out.
The injured parties were hurried
on into Union, where they were plac
ed on the northbound Missouri Pa
cific 'passenger train for Omaha, but
while enroute Mrs. Dodge died as
the result of the 6erious internal in
juries sustained.
Mrs. Larson and her son were hur
ried from the station at Omaha to
the Hotel Wellington, where it was
found that Mrs. Larson had sustain
ed probable serious internal injuries
and Raymond Larson serious cuts
about the limbs and head.
It was stated by Mr. Larson that
the driver of the Iowa car who caus
ed the wreck did not stop to ascer
tain the damage that he had caused,
but continued on south.
The Fremont party were going to
Excelsior Springs for a month's visit
and from there were to go on to
California for the winter and their
pleasure trip was very suddenly
stopped by the accident.
Mrs. L. A. Dodge was a widow and
formerly lived on a farm near North
Bend before moving to Fremont ten
years ago.
RETURNS FROM THE WEST
From Friday's Dally
Searl S. Davis, the real estate
dealer, has just returned from a trip
out in the western portion of the
state, during which time he was vis
iting his brother, Frank J. Davis at
Broken Bow. Mr. Davis states that
the corn there is in good condition
as far as yield is concerned, altho
not reaching the large proportions of
the yield in Cass county, but there,
as here, the crop is depending large
ly on the frost holding off. While
Mr. Davis was in the west he was
very much impressed with the in
creasing mileage of graveled roads
and felt that the residents of this
section, where gravel is within easy
reach, have not fully awakened to
the possibilities of the graveled road
over the common dirt road. Near
Grand Island, Mr. Davis found the
graveling work being pushed very
strongly and there the roads receive
only a small amount of gravel at a
time, which is then .-well worked in
and more applied and gives a fine,
solid highway and is much better
than the policy of dumping large
amounts of the gravel on the high
way at one time.
Mrs. Ada Moore was a visitor in
Omaha today, going to that city on
the early morning Burlington train.
W. R. C. PRESENTS
AMERICAN FLAG TO
THE MASONIC HOME
Yesterday Afternoon Ladies of R.
C. Make Presentation at Ne
braska Masonic Home.
From Thursday's Pally
Yesterday afternoon tl;e ladies of
the Woman's Relief Corps made a
j presentation to the Nebraska Mason-
ic Home of cue of their beautitu
silk flags that will in the future hav
ll
e
a place of honor in the Home. In
making the presentation there were
beautiful and impressive ceremonies.
The huli.s of the W. R. C. were
accompanied by a number of the
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic who entered into the spirit
of the occasion. The residents of
the Home were all present to enjoy
the fine prrgrcm given and the occa
sion one of real patriotic interest to
all of the large number present.
The program was opened by the
singing of the patriotic songs, Mrs.
E. II. Wescott acting as leader and
in which all joined in.
Mrs. William Baird. one of the tal
ented ladies of the city, was called
upon and gave several delightful pa
triotic selections in her usual pleas
ing manner and in the musical por
tion of the program the Burbridge
sisters were heard in several most
delightful vocal and instrumental
numbers.
The presentation was made on be
half of the Corps by Mrs. George A.
Dodge, patriotic instructor of the so
ciety, and her remarks were most
appropriate to the occasion. The
flag was accepted by Superintendent
William F. Evers, who expressed the
gratification of the Home manage
ment and the residents at the mark
of esteem 6hown in presenting them
with the flag that will now be a per
manent fixture in the Home.

songs, the ladies of the W. R. C.
served a most tempting luncheon to
all of the residents of tb.e home and
thA visitors end "rhiclv completed "te
day of real enjoyment.
OIL WELL SEEMS TO
HAVE REACHED THE
FINISH OF ITS BOOM
Large Sections of Granite Reached
that Seem to Cheek Further
Drilling cf the Well. '
From Friday's Iaily
The test well that has been sunk
on the Z. W. Shrader farm north
of Nehawka in the hopes of locating
a paying flow of oil, has apparently
met with obstacles that give little
hope that the present well will be
taken on to further depth. The well
is now 1,800 feet down.
The well at 1,200 feet showed the
most favorable indications in the oil
bearing sands and shale and indicat
ed that there was in the Nehawka
dome an oil stream, but which the
present well had evidently not tap
ped. The last two days the indications
have not been the best and on Wed
nesday night the drillers discovered
from the cores taken out that they
had struck the granite rock that
generally marks the end of the trail
for any well as there are few cases
of oil being located in this forma
tion. The fact that this test well has
failed to reach the oil vein is not al
together discouraging to the backers
of the proposition and is one of the
chances that are taken every time a
well is sunk as the oil game in the
undeveloped fields is largely a gam
ble and in bringing out the now
large Oklahoma field, there were a
number of dry wells sunk before any
oil was located.
The formation of the land, the
general character of the cores taken
out of the well by the drilling ma
chines from 900 to 1,200 feet below
the surface, indicate that there is oil
in the dome that covers some ten
miles, but just the exact spot to lo
cate to hit the paying well is a mat
ter of conjecture. The present drill
ing operations have been on since
early in the summer and have been
kept up with the exception of a num
ber of weeks when the drill was
struck in the slate rock formations,
up to the present time.
the company that nas been doing the
drilling is getting in touch with the
heads of his company at Tulsa, Okla
homa, and on their decision will
depend whether or not the well is
continued or a new well undertaken
in the Nehawka field.

DRAW FINES FOR
HAVING POSSES
SION OF LIQUOR
Two Iowa Men Who Had Mishap
Here Last Saturday Have
Hearings
Today.
From Saturday's paily
This morning in the court of Jus
tice William Weber occurred the last
chapter of the incidents growing out
of the wrecking of the car of John
Bunker and Floyd Finnell and that
of a man named Burrows on the
highway near the Trility home last
Saturday night.
The two men, Finnell and Bun
ker, who reside in the southern por
tion of Iowa, were released last
Sunday under $500 bond signed by
lu Omaha bonding company", calling
for their appearance here today, and
were ready this morning when Jus
tice Yv'ijliam Weber called the court
to order.
Complaint was filed against John
Bunker charging him with posses
sion of intoxicating liquor and for
which he received a fine of $100 and
costs and also a fine of $20 and
costs for driving a motor vehicle
while under the influence of liquor.
County Attorney J. A. Capwell also
filed a complaint against Floyd Fin
nell charging him with being intoxi
cated and for which he received a
Hue of $20. and costs.
The two men paid their fine and
secured their car that had been quite
badly damaged in the wreck and de
parted for their homes rejoicing.
HAS INTEREST HERE
From Saturday's Dally
The election of General James A.
Drain, of Washington, D. C, has
more or less interest to Plattsmouth
people as the family of Mrs. Drain
were formerly residents of this city
some forty-five years ago and the
wife of the new commander spent a
number of her girlhood years here
in Plattsmouth.
The father of Mrs. Drain, Thomas
Marsland, was employed here by the
Burlington in the late seventies and
the early eighties as storekeeper and
later moved to Lincoln where Mr.
Marsland was employed at the Bur
lington passenger station there as
baggage master and it was while the
family was living there that the
daughter and Mr. Drain became ac
quainted. The new commander of
the Legion was engaged for a few
years in the practice of law in Lin
coln and met his wife there.
Their Success
is in the Balance!
mm
These are the years when the future
of your boy or girl of every boy and girl
in Plattsmouth lies in the balance.
Education now, while education is
possible, will swing the scales toward suc
cess and away from failure.
Keep the boys and girls in school!
It is their right and your responsibility.

ELfsiWOOD IS GOING
AFTER GRAVELING
OF THE HIGHWAYS
Will Ask Voting of Bonds for
i S18.500 In Stove Creek Precinct
T "
To Gravel The Roads.
On Monday evening as per call, a
mass meeting of voters of Stove
Creek precinct was hel l vt the com
munity building. Willard Clapp was
made chairman of tuc Tweeting and
W. N. McLenon sr. At this
time J. II. Rogge, c ha ..; of a com
mittee submitted tl:e thr following
propositions: Graveling seven miles
of road including the four miles
from Ed. Earnst corner to O. street
two miles south of town and then
three miles west on O. street. The
second proposition includes the 7
miles and three miles on O. street
east from the corner two miles south
of town, making ten miles. The
third proposition includes these ten
miles and three miles east and three
west from the square at the inter
section of the two main streets, ma
king 16 miles. In the afternroon
the county commissioners, State
Engineer Green and the committee
composed of Rogge, Fitch and Boyles
went over the propositions and de
termined that the first proposition
would cost approximately $11,000,
the second close to $17,000 and the
third in the neighborhood of $50,000.
This cost would be due to the fact
that six miles would have to be ta
ken care of entirely by the precinct.
These propositions weie open for dis
cussion. Tim last one was elimiuto.l
TLs ctioimd una wnn dcJdrd upon
and it was decided that a petition
asking that the proposition of vot
ing bonds in the sum of $18,500 be
circulated to get the required num
ber of signatures of free holders so
that it can be submitted to the vot
ers at the coming fall election. It
was advised by the commissioners to
vote this much so there would be suf
ficient although in their opinion it
would cost somewhat less and it
would only be necessary to use the
required amount. After this road is
completed there will be no cost of
maintainence to the precinct.
In view of the fact that cither
graveling or paviEg is coming soon
er or later over the federal highways
it is the concensus of opinion that
it had just as well be done now as
any other time and be in the fore
front. At this meeting figures were
presented that showed that the ad
ditional taxes to each property own
er would be very little and would
scarcely be noticeable and at the end
of ten years, the duration of the
bond issue, the graveling would be
paid for. It is the general opinion
that graveling is coming on federal
highways and it just as well be now
as any time. Elmwood Leader-Echo.
SUFFERING FROM POISON.
From Wednesday's Dally
Mrs William Barclay was very
poorly yesterday suffering from the
effects of ptomaine poisoning from
which she has been suffering with
since Sunday. On that date Mr. and
Mrs. Barclay partook of some can
ned food that had evidently been
affected by the poison and as the re
sult they were both quite sick for
the next two days and Mr. Barclay
then improved somewhat but Mrs.
Barclay has not showed the most
favorable indications.
