the splendid festivities of the day.
From the first breaking of day
when the youngsters started in on
the welcoming of the day of inde
pendence with their salutes of crack
ers and other nise producers until the
last strains of the dances at night
and the final display of fireworks at
the baseball park the day and even
ing was filled with fun and interest
for everyone.
The morning program was opened
with the concert by the Eagles band
at Fifth and Main streets and the
musicians under the direction of E.
II. Schulhof gave a very fine pro
gram there and all through the day
as their musical numbers assisted in
a number of other events of the
morning and afternoon attractions.
Owing to the condition of the base
ball grounds a switch in the pro
gram was made necessary that
brought the baseball later in the
forenoon and placed the various
sports on Main street in. tne earlier
hours that thrilled and delighted the
crowds that lined the street to wit
ness the events as they were given !
under the direction of J. W. Holmes,
as the master of ceremonies and
Frank Warren as the official an
nouncer of the program.
The barrel auto race on Main
street attracted much attention and
interest and the car of Frank Meade
proved the most successful in getting
through the barriers that were set
up and without tipping over any of
the barrels that proved a great hand
icap to the other entries. Wni. G.
Meisinger hauled down the second
prize.
In the slow auto races there were
a large number of entries In which
G. II. McMurray of Omaha, won the
first prize and Clem Boyd drew the
second, by propelling their cars at
the slowest speeds.
One of the main events of the i
morning was the water fight that
was staged at 11.15 between the
Plattsmouth and Glenwood fire de
, ,
partmcnts and in which the
firemen were voted the winners as
their experience was evident against
the courage and fighting ability of
the fire boys from cur Iowa neigh
bors, both teams showing their skill
at the game of handling the hose

At the morning baseball game

perched on the locals by the score of
5 to 0. William Mason did the hurl
ing for the Plattsmouth while Wil
liam Meade did his stuff for the
Union baseball artists, Jackson
cautrht for Plattsmouth and Earl
Hathaway for Union. The game was
handicapped by the fact that there
was nu'.-h mud on the grounds and
which made the game slow but it
pleased the fans who had gathered
there to enjoy the national pastime.
At the noon hour the Eagles band
gave a grand concert in Garfield park
while many families and groups en
joyed picnic dinners in the cool and
inviting shade of the trees and listen
ed to the melodies of the band that
made the occasion of real enjoyment.
Afternoon Program.
The first portion of the afternoon
was given over to the defence day
features of the occasion with the
American Legion drum and bugle
corps and Harrison L. Gayer, captain
of the reserve, and commanding Co
F.. 35oth infantry in charge of the '
handling of the lists of those who i
were willing to participate in the
national defence program.
At the program at Garfield park.
Judge James T. Begley, president of
the chamber of commerce presided
and with fitting remarks opened the
patriotic features of the afternoon.
The program was started with the
singing of "America" by the audi
ence, Mrs. E. H. Wescott assisting in
the direction of the mass singing and
which proved a fitting opening of
the program. To add to the impres
eiveness of the occasion Mrs. Wil
liam Baird read the declaration of i
ment that was drafted as the ex
pression of the colonies on the start
ing of the war of independence and
which ha3 for years served as the
inspiration and hope of the nations
cf the world for the past 149 years.
The committee in charge of the
Fourth of July were more than for
tunate in securing as the speaker of
the day Hon A. J. Weaver of Falls
City, one of the leaders in the state
cf Nebraska business and political
life and whose service in the cause
of the state has found expression in
several capacities, he having served
as the president of the constitutional
convention in 1920 and also as a
member of the board of governors of
the federal reserve banks. Mr. Weav
er in his address stressed the work of
the nation In the past in the for
ward march of the human race, the
creation of great ideals that formed
the basis of the hope of the whole
world in their political life. In this
the speaker touched on the national
defense day test that was first ob
served in September of 1924 and
which was beins- observed on the
I Fourth of July for the second time
The need of a calm and clear mind
ed realization of the national re
sources was one of the surest means
of preserving peace, the nation
; should know just what could be ex-
pected of each community in time of
war, not alone in providing the man
power but in the manufacturing in
be called into the field, the feeding
and equipping and care of the army
and navy as well as the participation
of the civilian ranks of the nation in
time of war was brought out. The
address was one that should have
been heard by thousands and was
the frank clear cut expression of one
of the leaders of the nation on ques
tions of real vital import to the
United States of America and the
whole world.
The afternon program at the park
was closed by the singing of the
"Star Spangled Banner" by the audi
ence, led by Mrs. Wescott, and the
benediction by Rev. Frank Emory
Pfoutz. pastor of the First Methodist
church, who also offered the invo
cation. Representatives of various patri
otic societies occupied seats on the
platform.
Following the address there was
a program of junior sports given on
Fifth street adjoining the park under
the direction of the committee com
posed of Fred Vincent and Henry
Leacock, Sr.. that served to enter
tain and please the large crowd and
in which the ladies, boys and girls
participated. The prize winners in
these events were:

The baseball fans were entertained
in a real game at 3 o'clock In which
the fast and classy young team of
racne Junction piayea tne locai Daw
team ana gave mem a reai uame.
one that was voiced by many as the
best game here this season. The final

inning by the Junction and gave the
Plattsmouth team the victory. Swan

with Jackson receiving and both
worked good throughout the game.
The first scoring by Plattsmouth was
in the fourth inning, up to that time
Flynn having held the locals hitless ,

for a safety and Joe McCarty scored for Kansas City, where Mr. Kieck

same garden and this completed the serve and each year has to report for
scoring for the local team as Flynn i flying and other courses on the im-
was able to settle and become as
effective as in the first of the game.
The Junction scored in the eighth
when Brailey hit safe and scored on
the hit of Bacus to the center garden.
The Weeping Water fire depart
ment failed to materilize with their
men to participate in the water fight
and accordingly the members of the
local department selected two teams
to battle and the final outcome of the
jfray is disputed, Claude Smith, cap
tain of the west side contends mat
they were the winners and Dr. O.
Sandin, fire chief who headed the
other team claim3 the honors for his
own side and the matter will be set
tled in the near future by staging an
other fight some Saturday evening
and which will place the final re
sult as to who is who.
In the wrestling and boxing
matches on the platform at Fourth
and Main streets, William Newman
and Eldon Clear were pitted in the
wrestling match, both of these boys
being very clever at the mat sport
and in the result Clear was given
the shade of the match and awarded
the victory. The event served to en
tertain everyone.
Evening Program.
In the evening following the sup
per hour the Eagles band gave a con
cert from 7 until S o'clock on the
main street which was the prelude
to the great fireworks display staged
at the baseball park.
The fireworks feature of the even
ing was one of the best that has been
seen in any of the cities of this sec
tion and the committee that selected
and carried out this feature of the
program certainly did a real job.
The smallest pieces as well as the
large set pieces were of the most
magnificent beauty. Tne display of
"Xiagra Falls" set of fireworks was
one of the most beautiful designs
that could be desired. Each and
everyone of the the fireworks pre
sented was carefully selected and
certainly was a real crowning feature
i of the evening entertainment.
After the fireworks the lovers cf
the dance were given full sway with
free dances at the K. S. platform
where the "Up to Date Tune-Weavers"
were playing, at the Eagles hall
where the Gradoville orchestra was
secured and at the M. W. A. hall
where Fred Vincent and his old fash
ioned orchestra served to entertain
the public.
DEATH GOMES
SUDDENLY TO
HENRY PERRY
Well Known Resident of the City for
Many Years Passes Sudden
ly and Peacefully.
From Monday's Daily
Henry Perry, who has made his
home in this city and vicinity for
a great many years, since ue was
brought here by his mother, together
with his then little brothers and sis
ters in the early seventies, passed
away suddenly at the home of his
brother. George Perry in the south
part of the city. Saturday evening.
Mr. Perry had been complaining
some all during baiurciay. diu nis
condition was not considered serious
by the members of the family and at
the time of his death he was sitting
in a rocking chair enjoying the cool
of evening before retiring, gently
dropping-to sleep to awaken no more.
Henry Perry was the son of one
of the early English families that
settled in Wisconsin in an early day
and was born at Racine. Wisconsin,
June 2S, 1S62. As has been stated.
he came here at a very tender age
with the other members of the fam
ily, the father dying while the fam
ily was living in the east. Since
coming here he has made his home
here and was known and highly re
spected by a very large circle of
friends.
The deceased was unmarried and

sister, Mrs. Martha Beebe, of Mon
te Vista. Colorado, and five brothers.
George E. Perry, of Plattsmouth;
James Perry, of Coffeyville. Kansas;

FORMER POLICE
' CHIEF IS FOUND
DEAD IN HIS BED
Benjamin W. Rainey Passed Away
Sometime Saturday Night
Found at Home Sundav.
From Monday's Daily
when members of the family came to
call Benjamin W. Rainey, former
chief of police, they found that Mr.ifr . , . Y , T. - ' .1 "
Rainey had in the course of the
night heard the greater call and had
passed away to the last long rest.
Heart trouble was the cause of death.
The deceased was a resident of
Cass county for practical- all of his
lifetime, having been born in the vi-
cinitv of Rock Bluffs in 18 SO where
his parents, Mr. tind Mrs. J. A.
Rainey were early settlers. The fam
ily resided in Plattsmouth for a long
period of years and it was here that
Benjamin received his education.
Later the family resided in the vicin
ity of Greenwood on a larm until
vears ago when they returned to
Plattsmouth and have since made
their home here.
Mr. Rainev was made a member
of the police -force of Plattsracuth
during the term of Henry R. Gering
as mayor and later unuer Mayor John
P. Sattler was made chief of police,
holding this office from 1909 until
191". In the performance cf his du
ties, Mr. Rainey muce one or tne
most efficient officers that the city
ever had. At the t;::ie he assumed
the duties of chief of police,, the
community was troubled with many
gangs and hostile elements that
made the preservation of the peace
he job for a real man and m this
Mr. Rainey proved himself the r:eht
man in the right place and brought
quiet into the community and stamp
ed out disorder and peace disturb
ance. For his work in restoring law
and order where the police had been
but a rather feeble reed to protect,
the people, Mr. Rainey deserves the j
grateful tribute of the people.
Since his retirement, Mr. Rainey
has been engaged in several occupa
tions and in the las-, year his time
has been largely ta- -n-up with the
care of his aged mother with whom
he resided and ministered with ten
der care.
With the aged mother there are
surviving ten brothers and sisters.
John Rainey of Glenwood. O. A.
Rainey, Sidney, Iowa; Mrs. Nora
Mape-s, Meadow, Nebraska; W. H.
Rainey, Plattsmouth; James P.
Rainey. Plattsmouth; Mrs. Mary In
grim, living in Texas; Loren Rainey,
Chickashia. Oklahoma; Mrs. Ida Mc-
Kinney, Henderson, Iowa; W ood
Rainey, Rosalie, Nebraska; Floyd
Rainey, Omaha.
The funeral services were held
this afternoon at 3:30 from the Satt
ler tuneral chapel and attended by a
large number of the old friends and
associates who gathered to pay their
last tribute to an old friend. The
Rev. W. L. Croni of the U. B. church
of Mynard conducted the last ser
vices." The interment was at the
Horning cemetery.
To those who knew him best. Mr.
Rainey was a kind and generous
friend, a man perhaps who did not
bear the polish of the world in his
actions and speech, but who was in
the fullest sense a loyal man to those
who he called by the name of friend
and one ready and willing to aid
those less fortunate than himself.
These qualities that entered into the
life of Ben Rainey were known only
to those who had known him best,
but they will long linger with those
he has aided and the unfortunate or
needv to whom he had made the
journey of life a little more pleasant.
The reward of man is not measured
in the plaudits or cheers of the fickle
world, but in the final understand
ing of all things. When the book of
life in the great beyond is unfolded,
in this Ben Rainey will find his place
for the good that he has accomplish
ed in his quiet and peaceful manner,
day by day. In his care of the aged
mother he was proven a devoted son
and too stands as a monument to his
life so suddenly taken away.

YOUNG MEN HAVE
CLOSE GALL FROM
DEATH SATURDAY
Auto Accident Saturday Night Re
sults m Destruction of the
Car of Roy Beins.
From Monday's Daily
Last Saturday evening a very ser
ious auto accident occurred near the
"horn" south of the city and which
resulted in the practical destruction
of the Ford roadster of Homer Yard-1"-
and the Buick touring car be
longing to the Beins family.
The Beins car was going south
from Chicago avenue with Ray Cav
ander driving and Roy Beins with
him in the front seat while William
Galloway and two other young men
were in the rear seat of the car.
As they were nearing the junction
of the Chicago avenue road with Lin
coln avenue, the boys state they saw
a car coming from the south toward
them and which was coming at a
good rate of speed. Just as the two
cars were getting close to each other,
the Ford roadster of Homer Yardley
nppeared from the turn into Lincoln
venue and in an instant was in the
midst of the auto tangle. The occu
pants of the Beins oar state it was
a question of someone getting hit in
the melee of autos and to avoid a
head-on collision with the car from
the south they attempted to turn out
r.nd their car and that of Mr. Yard
ley met in the smashup. the rear of
the Yardley car being a total wreck
and the Beins car hurled over and
over into the ditch along the road
side. That all of the occupants of the
cars were not killed is very fortunate
as the impact of the cars was consid
erable and practically wrecked the
twit machines. Ray Cavander re
ceived a severe cut on the side of his
fare, his right hip was badly bruised
and some of the ribs cracked. Roy
Beins was the recipient of what was
feared to be internal injuries and al
so badly bruised up as the result of
the accident. Ihe other occupants
of the Beins car were badly shaken
up and all bruised to a greater or
less desree. In the Yardley car.
Homer Yardley had his collar bone1
fractured and his companion, ai
young man named Nickels. living
near Murray was also very badly
bruised and injured in the mix-up.

Ford coupe early Monday morning
and commenced inquiries as to a
place to room and board and was a
stickler for having a dwelling place
in a private home as he claimed he
wished to stay in this locality for
some two months.
The man then started negotiations
with Dr. Joe Stibal for the purchase
of his car and glibly offered a fancy
price for the car that aroused the
suspicions of the doctor and also at
the bank where the man's check for
$1,S00 for the car was brought for
investigation. The car deal was
called off until further investigation
of the case could be made.
