NO. 79 Platters Humble Scarlet Warriors of Auburn Team 20 to 6 Represents the Story of the Game in Which Locals On, played Visiters. From Thursday's Dally Three victories in a row represent the sum total of the efforts of Coach Rothert's husky bunch of warriors and the latest of the string of vic tims has been the scarlet hued war riors of Auburn who came yesterday to see and conquer and who instead were shown and sent home defeat ed. All of the Plattsmouth squad had a part in the victory and their unit ed machine like playing on the part of both backfield and the line told the story of the victory and the re- pluse of the visitors from the banks of the Nemaha. In the opening when the Auburn team kicked off there was a succes sion of drives through their line that retted gains at every try and kept the ball constantly in the hands of the blue and white as they moved onto the scarlet goal. In the onrush some of the visitors sought to in troduce a little of the uppercuts and slugging into the game, with the re sult that they were penalized twenty yards and with the ball on their fifteen yard line the visitors were played off their feet on a very clever triple in which Ralph Garsemer participated and carried the ball to the five yard line of the visitors and from where Buttery plunged through for a touchdown. Smith kicked goal and the count stood 7 to 0. On the kickoff Platts drove the ball to the Auburn 20 yard line, the visitors returning it to their thirty five yard line before being downed. The Auburn team after several tries for gains in which they were block ed by the hard work of the Platts mouth line in which Adam. Gan semer and Clark featured, punted in an attempt to place themselves out of danger and the ball was return ed f fteen yards by Plattsmouth. Two attempted end runs by Buttery re sulted in no gain for the locals, but in this period the visitors again start ed their pugilistic attempts to se cure gains and were again penalized twenty yards. A well placed pass from Wescott to Smith brought the ball to the visitors twelve yard line and another touchdown seemed due but on the attempted pass from Wes cott to Buttery was good but Joe failed to gloam the ball and it was lost. On the attempt of Auburn tr secure an end run Wescott threv the runner for a loss and when the Auburn team attempted to punt Jerry Adam blocked the kick and re covered the ball and scored a touch down. Perry kicked goal and brought the Plattsmouth total to 14. In the last of the second quarter the Auburn team showed a -flash of real playing and Quinn and W. Sloan scored several large gains on the locals and brought the ball to the locals ten yard line but a lucky fum ble cost the Auburn team twenty yards and the ball was on the locals thirty yard line when the half clos ed. In the opening of the third quarter the visitors were downed on their thirty yard line and Plattsmouth drew a twenty yard penalty and this was followed by a brilliant piss that netted them fifteen yards. The visit ors were held on downs in the terri tory of the Platters. On the re covery of the ball by Plattsmouh Gerald, oherwise "Jumbo" Smith punted fifty-five yards to the visitors five yard line and brought the bat tle down into their territory. The Auburn team attempted to punt out of danger but the kick was poor and the ball rested in the hands of Plattsmouth on the Auburn twenty yard line and from w'here a pass from Wescott to Perry gave the locals their third touchdown but the at tempt at goal failed and left the locals standing at 20. The visitors tallied in the last quarter with some effective line plunges as on a fake pass Quinn Sloan slipped around the Plattsmouth right end for the coveted touchdown that won them a goal, but failed to kick and left the score at 20 to C. The game ended with the ball in play in the center of the field.

Bind Over Men Charged with Hog Stealing Justice Lynn at Union This Morn ing Hands Downs His Decis sion in the Case. From Friday's railv Another chapter was developed in the now justly celebrated "hog case" this" morning when Justice John Lynn at Union rendered down his findings in the preliminary hearing, holding that there had been suffi cient evidence abducted by the State cf Nebraska in the hearing to war rant the binding over of Josh Ham mond and Raj- Denham to the dis trict court for trial. ; This case has been shuttled back ' and forth in the courts here, thf ; defendants being released on the first j complaint filed and which was fol lowed by the filing of a second com plaint here on the strength of new evidence before Justice William Weber and from whose jurisdiction : the case was transferred on a change ' of venue to the court of Justice Lynn. The case involves the question of the taking of seventy-four head of hogs from the hog ranch located near Cullom, operated by the estate of ; the late Harry V. Hayward, the i Peters Trust Co., of Omaha the ad ministrators of the estate carrying on the contract of Mr. Hayward for the handling of the garage of tho citv of Omaha that is used to feed the hogs that are maintained on the ranch. In the case the chief evidence of the state was that Mr. Manzer the foreman of the ranch, who al leged that a conspiracy had been planned by Hammond to take the hogs and in which Denham had been involved through his work as sta tion agent at Cedar Creek. The defense offered no testimony at the trial but contended that th"r( had been no crime committed as the defendants had no part in loading or shipping the hogs from the ranch the work beine: performed by Mr Manzer and his workers on the ranch '. and that the money for the bogr which were sold on the South Omaha market had been paid to the owners of the hogs. The case will probably be tried at the forthcoming term of the district court. The bonds of the defendants in the case were placed by Justice Lynn at $1,500 pending the trial of the case in the higher court.
