From Monday's Daily
Death has entered again in the
life of the community here and
called from the daily tasks of life
Mrs. L. E. Vroman, well known and
greatly beloved resident of Platts
mouth for the past forty years. The
death of Mrs. Vroman oecured on
Saturday night at 11:30 at the Im
mauuel hospital in Omaha where
she was operated on several days
ago. The serious nature of the mal
ady from which she was suffering
gave but little hopes of recovery

loved one might be spared to them !

The death of Mrs. Vroman brings'
to this community a great regret as
few of the residents here have en
joyed the large circle of warm I
friends as has this splendid lady
whose life has been devoted to her
family and friends. There was no

many years, the family having re
sided here some thirty years ago
and later removed to Orchard and
vicinity where they farmed for some
time and later cam bock .to. this

schullat. being students at the Uni
versity of Nebraska.

bers of the family will have the deep
sympathy of the many friends in

YOUNG MAN ACQUITTED
Fr-m Tuesday's Dai'v
The case of-ihe State of Nebraska
vs. Ben Birdsley, which was on trial
in the county court yesterday after
noon before Judge A. H. Duxbury.
was terminated yesterday afternoon
when the court after the submission
of the evidence and the arguments
of the attorneys, dismissed the com
plaint that had been filed against
the young man and he was releas
ed from the charges that had been
made against him. The charge as
made in the complaint was assault
and battery upon Miss Orpha Goings,
the time of the alleged assault and
battery being the evening of April
15th. The defendant made a sweep
ing denial of any of the charges
made and the testimony of the com
plaining witness in the case who
had charged the young man with the
alleged assault. There were quite a
number of witnesses heard in the
case and the attorneys took some
time in summing up the evidence
for the consideration of the court.
Judge Duxbury in his decision at
the close of the trial stated that
there was in his mind a doubt as
to the guilt of the defendant in view
of the testimony offered and in view
of which he felt that he would not
be justified in holding the young
man.
MRS. DODGE POORLY
From Tuesday's Daily
Mrs. George A. Dodge, one of the
highly esteemed ladies of this com
munity. has been confined to her
home since Sunday as the result of
a partial paralytic stroke that she
suffered late Saturday night. The
condition of Mrs. Dodge was thought
to be some better yesterday after
noon but this morning she seemed
to show little improvement and her
condition remained practically the
same as for the last two days. The
stroke has effected her left side and
the patient has suffered more or
less from the effects of the stroke.
It is hoped that in the next few days
the patient will make some changes
for the better as it is thought that
the worst effects of the stroke will
have passed by that time. The case
however, is one that has caused the
family the greatest apprehension.
Miss Violet Dodge of Omaha is here
at the bedside of the mother and
Dr. Roy A. Dodge, well known Oma
ha specialist, has also been here for
the greater part of the time at the
side of his mother.
Hard Surfaced
Roads a Neces-
:ity in This Day
C!1
Traffic and Modem Day Means of
Travel Make Every Community
in Need of Good Roads.
The day of -the cl 1 fashioned highway'-
impassable in the winter or
rainy seasons that plae a barrier
on the resident of ihe farming dis
tricts from getting to and frc.m their
places is p.ist.
The residents over the nation are
awakening to the fact that while
the graveling or surfacing of the
highways may cost a considerable
f-vm of money. tht.t thej- are paying
far more dearlv in allowing the old
time dirt roads to remain in their
community, the upkeep of the road
being costly and the inconvenience
and loss of time and money occasion
ed to the residents of the districts
affected are far greater than the out
lay were made for a good surfaced
load and the comfort in traveling
and saving of the amount of gas
listed as well as the wear and tear
on the autos and trucks will in a
short time more thdii repay u.v co.si
of the roads.
This portion of Cass county ha:i
in the winter season felt bitterly the
need of well made and hard sur
faced roads in permitting the resi
dents of the various localities to
come and go during the bad weather
instead of remaining iit home o
driving their cars of trucks through
roads filled with mud that cither
caused damage to the vehicles or
were so bad that it was impossible
io travel at all over these kind of
highways.
There is no blame on those who
maintain the highways for this con
dition of affairs as they might ex
pend days and weeks of work on
the dirt roads to have in a few hours
their best efforts swept out in the
rains and snows that makes the
roads a mass of mud that cars and
trucks simply cannot travel through.
Those who live i the country dis
tricts need the good roads and they
should have them as the cost is
no greater than that which they pay
indirectly as a tribute in bad and
muddj- weather and with no corres
ponding gain of convenience and
pleasure.
There are four highwas's in Platts
mouth precinct that need surfacing
and which are main highways for
a very large population, these are
the Louisville and Cedar Creek
roads, which also run through Eight
Mile Grove precinct and where the
good roads program should be ex
tended, as well as the highway west
through Mynard from the King of
Trails highway and the Rock BluJ
road running south from this city.
The residents of Plattsmouth and
IMght Mile Grove precincts should
take in serious consideration in the
next few weeks the proposition of
having these highways surfaced and
placed in such shape that they can
be traveled at all seasons of the year
and not allowing the orads to make
the residents of these splendid farm
ing communities practical exiles in
the bad weather or to drive on the
roads in the menace of damaging
their cars or trucks or having them
mired in the mud that exists in the
bad weather on all four of the high
ways named above.
The cost of the gaveling of these
roads will be largely up to the resi
dents of these precincts as these
roads are not state and federal pro
jects but they should serve a large
and rich territory that deserves as
good a road as any part of Cass
county and the residents of Platts
mouth and Eight Mile Grove pre
cincts should see that they take the
steps necessary to assure them these
roads. The cost would be more than
repaid in a few years in the con
venience that it would bring to the
residents there as well as the sav
ing in gasoline and the wear and
tear on their cars and trucks. Not
alone this but the good roads per
mits the quick hauling of farm pro
duce, stock and hogs to market at
a short notice and to save the farm
ers the prices that they can find in
a quick delivery when the markets
are favorable rather than having to
wait until the mud and bad roads
will permit them to travel.
The radio has brought the whole
worVl to the farm on the air
but the old dirt roads in bad weather
is keeping the farmers from enjoy
ing the use of the highways that
he should have and the right to go
to and from his home without dan
ger of being mired in mud.
The experience with these roads
has taught everyone a lesson and
the few surfaced roads in this sec
tion of the county has proved that
they are the only real road system
and one that the progressive farm
ers of Cass county deserve and
should have.

ing the new decorative art work in
