when the West Side Athletics of the I John Bauer and children, Mr. and
South Side, Omaha, and the local
ball tossers met, was decidedly mud
dy and made the game hard to play,
but in the struggle the locals emerg
ed victorious by the score of 5 to 4.
The hurling for the locals was
handled by Swanson, who played a
good game and was effective in his
work in the pinches and especially
in the ninth when his timely strik
ing out of his opponent, Farris, saved
the possibility of the game being tied.
Swanny whiffed seven of the visitors,
while Farris on the hilltop for the
West Side struck out six of the
Plattsmouth warriors.
The features of the game for
Plattsmouth was the fielding of New
man at short, who made one put out
and had six assists, while Jardine
with his hitting starred in that de
partment of the game and his timely
bingles won the battle for the locals.
For the visitors Kinnear at second
base was the bright outstanding star
and made outs for four of the Platts
mouth players as well as assisted in
five putouts. his playing being far
superior to that of his teammates.
Frank Donovan, center fielder of the
visitors, registered the longest hit of
the day. with a circuit drive over the
left field fence.
Plattsmouth registered in the open
ing inning when McCarty, tte first
man up, singled to center field and
was advanced to second on the sacri

their half of the third when two hits,
two walks and an error gave them
sufficient scores to win. Swanson

a poke to center registered Klauschie

With South Omaha Robbery,
Chained to Seat of Car.
From Monday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon a group of
Omaha detectives and representa
tives of the police department of
Omaha passed through Plattsmouth
taking Lee Flournoy, who is charged
with having been one of the band of
robbers who robbed the Security
State bank of South Omaha last
March.
The robbery was one of the most
sensational in the history of crime in
Omaha and occurred in the late af
ternoon of the March day when the !
bank was filled with customers and
an armed guard stood on the balcony
of the banking room and was unable
to fire on robbers for fear of hit
ting the customers. The robbers:

SAYS CITY IMPROVED
From Monday's Dally
Yesterday W. W. Coates, at one
time a prominent business man of
this city and now a well known cap
italist of Kansas City, Missouri, was
in the city for a few hours and had
the opportunity of visiting a few of
the old time friends.
Mr. Coates in his stay made a trip
over the city and was very enthus
iastic in his praise of the many im
provements that have been installed
since the time when he was a resi
dent here.
The improvements in the business
section, the many fine homes, the
large increase in paved streets and
modern advancment in every way
was remarked on by Mr. Coates and
who stated, "If anyone had told me
that Plattsmouth had shown such an
advancement in the years since I was
here, I would not have believed it."
These views by one who was for so
many years a resident here and con
versant with the city and its con
ditions certainly speaks well for the
progress that has been gradually go
lng on In the community and to
which the citizens who are familiar,
has become a commonplace matter.
but to a former resident like Mr
Coates the improvement can be more
thoroughly appreciated.

young men from Nebraska City who
were en route from Omaha to their

nounced state o intoxication, so
much 60 that they had attracted the
attention of the passersby on the
highway who sent word of their com
ing to the police department.
The two young men, giving the
names of Richard Williamson and
Dave Andrews, with their homes as

SEVERE STORM
BREAKS LONG
HEATED SPELL
Wind and Rain Storm Saturday
Hight Brings Relief to Resi
dents of Community.
The culmination of the intense
heat of the last two days of the week
wa6 broken Saturday night in one of
the heaviest wind and electrical
storms of the season that brought
in its wake a great relief from the
heat as well as much damage from
the wind in the country adjacent to
the city, especially from the south
side of the Plattsmouth city limits to
three and four miles south of this
city.
The clouds commenced to roll up
in the west and northweBt shortly
before 7 o'clock and their coming
gave indication of the change in the
weather as the purple aspect of the
clouds gave indication of the wind
and rain that lurked in them.
The Etorm broke late in the eve
ning, very intense lightning preced
ing the storm and with a great sweep
the wind struck this section of the
ounty doing a great deal of damage.
The worst of the storm a6 reported
was in the locality at the south por
tion of the city and several miles
south where trees by the hundreds
suffered broken limbs and in several
cases the tree3 themselves were up
rooted and flung about by the storm, i
The gasoline filling station at the
junction of Chicago and Lincoln Ave-!
nue3 which is operated by A. W. Cop-
enhaver, was one of the heaviest suf
ferers as the roof of the station was
blown off and some distance awaj'
from the building.
At the farm of J. W. Seagraves,
south of Plattsmouth, the wind
reached the dimensions of a small
cvclone, blowing down a large barn.
unroofing the chicken coop and also
destroying the frame garage on the
place.
Much damage was also at the Pet
er Mumni farm where the barn suf
fered a great deal of damage and the
trees around the place were broken
and blown down by the intense force
cf the wind.
Along the K. of T. highway from
this city south for several miles
there were large limbs from the
trees scattered along the road and
several small trees were uprooted and
had to be removed from the road by
the passing- autoists before they could
get through.
Following the windstorm mere was
a very heavy rain, over an inch fall
ing in the city but wnicn am no
damage beyond making the auto
travel a little inconvenient for the
day.
SOME REAL WINDOW
DECORATIONS
From Monday's Dally
The large show windows at the
big store of the H. M. Soenichsen
company in this city are the attrac
tion for a large number of the vis
itors here, not only for the many
fine lines of goods that are displayed
in the window but for the very ar
tistic manner in which they have
been arranged.
These windows are of the latest
type of display windows and in them
the company constantly has displays
of their latest in dry goods, ladies
wearing apparel, shoes, mens cloth
ing and novelties that makes them a
real treat to the shopper as showing
just what is the latest notes in the
world of fashion, both for men and
women.
The window decorating depart
ment of the store is looked after by
Mrs. Joe Bulin in the ladles de
partment and Damian Flynn in the
gentleman s portion oi tne Dig store
and they have a most artistic sense
in making their selections and
arranging them. .
The special lighting effects at
night make the store windows one
of the attractions of the downtown
district.

1 PROGRAM BY LOCAL PEOPLE
GIVEN FROM STATION KMA
AT SHENANDOAH. IA.
RECEIVE CONGRATULATIONS
Everything Works Nicely Except
Artists Get in Mud and Lose
Road in Returning.
From Tuesday's Daily
As the result of the splendid ef
forts of the Plattsmouth entertain
ers in their program from Station
KMA at Shenandoah, Iowa, the May
Seed and Nursery Co., radio estab
lishment, this city received an ad
vertisement that will be nationwide
and which was given moit pleasant
ly by the array of local talent.
The weather conditions had be
come bad when the time for the de
parture of the members of the pro
gram bunch arrived, but they took
up their journey, anyway, and drove
through mud and unmarked roads to
the Iowa city to make good their
promise to Mr. May and the result
was one of the most delightful pro
grams that has been heard for some
time from the stations in this part oi
the west.
The announcer for the Platts
mouth program was Earl Mcy him
self who added to the interest andj
levity of the occasion when he fit-'
tingly inducted W. A. Robertson, the
official spokesman of the Plattsmouth
delegation, into the "Coo Coo" club,
and forced Bill to broadcast the
proeting sign of the order that all
might know that he was a full-fiedg-ed
member. In this connection it
may be stated that this was a dia
bolic plot on the part of Mr. May
to secure revenge for what Bill had
done to Earl when Mr. May was in
ducted into "the Slirine at Lincoln.
However, Earl's revenge was pain
less. The program consisted of twenty-
one numbers, everyone a winner and
which drew telegrams and telephone
calls of congratulations from all over
this portion of the west.
Offering piano selections on the
program 'were Mrs. R. G. Reed. Mrs.
Elbert Wiles and Irma Pittman, aged
13, all of which were very artistic
ally given.
Anton Bajeck, the well known
xylophone artist, was heard in two
numbers, his accompaniment being
given by Mrs. Reed and these num
bers were real gems of beauty.
The Upp To Date Tune Weavers,
composed of Helen P. Upp, piano;
Pauline Parker, saxophone;
Paul Vandervoort, banjo; Jack Ledg
way, cornet, and Anton Bajeck,
drums, gave several of their num
bers during the programs and proved
real entertainers for the thousands
listening in. ,
On the program were two flute so
los, one by Mrs. Elbert Wiles and
one by Miss Catherine McClusky,
both of which were very artistically
given and for which Mrs. A. D. Cald
well served as accompanist.
Adding to the diversity of the pro
gram was the high class violin solos
offered by Ira Mumni, youthful artist
on the violin and Mrs. A. D. Cald
well, one of the best known soloists
of this section of the west.
W. R. Holly, one of the well
known soloists of the Eagles band,
was heard in two euphonium sols.
tone classic and one more popular se
lection that were given in a very fin
ished manner by Mr. Holly.
The Plattsmouth mixed quartette,
composed of Frank A. Cloidt, tenor;
Mrs. Minnie Pickard. alto; Mrs. Hal
Garnett, soprano, and B. A. McEl
wain, bass, gave two numbers on the
high class program and requests for
other selections that they were un
able to respond to.
The vocal section of the program
was exceptionally strong in the solo
numbers that were given. Frank
Cloidt, B. A. McElwain and Mrs. Hal
Garnett each giving a well chosen
selection, the accompaniment for
which was played by Mrs. Upp in
her able and finished manner and the
voices of the soloists as well as the
quartet numbers were among the
clearest that came through the air.
The wealth of musical talent in
tthe Gorder family was heard to the
.very best advantage in the numbers
of the saxophone trio, Harlan, Mar
itha and Frederick Gorder comprising
'this splendid trio of young musicians
while Mrs. Gorder assisted at trie
piano.
One of the unique features of the
program was the whistling duet of
'Mathilde and Roy Olson that was re
i ceived i with marked approval by
those who had turned in and reflect
ed the greatest credit on the young
people.
Not the least of the features of the
program was the talk on Plattsmouth
given by Attorney William A. Rob
ertson and which was bristling with
facts of the city and its worth as
well as clever humor of the speaker
that gave the whole world an ap
preciation of this ety that they ll
long retain. As a radio speaker,
Billy is a real whizzer and equals the
best announcers that the air has pro-
jduced. If he ever decides to lay aside
the law as,a profession the radio an
nouncers will have to watch their
positions. From every standpoint the
talk of Mr. Robertson left nothing
to be desired as a real boost for
Plattsmouth and its people.

C. A, HARVEY ABLE
TO RETURN HOME
FROM HOSPITAL
Victim of Stabbing Affray at County
Farm Three Weeks Ago, Back
With His Danghter.
From Tuesday's Daily
C. A. Harvey, the victim of the
stabbing affray at the county farm
three weeks ago, is now back home
and feeling very much improved al
though he is still weak and bears
the marks of his ordeal and the weeks
that he has been compelled to spend
confined to his bed.
Mr. Harvey suffered the usual fate
of a peacemaker when at the farm
one night three weeks ago he tried
to quiet a quarrel between an aged
man named Stephens and another of
the old gentlemen there. The two
old men, who were roommates, had
commenced quarreling over having a
window up or down during the night.
Stephens protested against the open
ing of the window and from mere
words the two aged battlers came to
blows and Stephens, who Is 88 years
of age, suffered the worst of the fist
ic encounter. The noise of the
struggle woke Mr. Harvey who re
sides with his son-in-law, George W.
Goodman, superintendent of the
farm, and he came upstairs to try to
settle the combat. He entered the
room which was partially dark, the
only light coming from one in the
hall, reaching the room just as the
aged man, Stephens, angered by the
beating he had received, lurched for
ward with a large pocket knife that
he had drawn to defend himself and
instead of the knife finding lodge
ment in the person of Stephens' foe,
it was Mr. Harvey who suffered the
effects of the blow. A gash -some
three inches long was cut in the ab
domen and as soon as medical aid
could be called and temporary aid
given the injured man was taken to
Omaha to the hospital.
Mr. Harvey was In very serloua
condition for several days but has re
covered nicely while Stephens, hiB
assailant, has since been taken to
Lincoln to be cared for at the hos
pital in that city.
