Marsha! at Ne
hawka Has a Gun
Fight Last Nite
Party of Four Men Found Near Bail
road Station Open Fire on
the Law Officers.
From Tuesday's tially
The usually peaceful village of Ne
hawka was stirred late last night at;
it has not been for months, when v
gun battle was staged there between
Marshal Frank McConnell and a party
of four strangers who were prowling
about the village.
j The marshal had found the men ir
:the vicinity of the Missouri Pacifb
'railroad station near the midnight
hour and his suspicions being arous
I ed by the four men he had turned
his flashlight on them to learn who
they were and whether residents of
.the community. Hardly had the mar
.shal turned on the light than the
'men opened fire and started to run
from the scene, continuing to shoot
Jat the marshal as they retreated.
1 The fire was returned by Mr. Mc
:Connell who had drawn r.Is revolver
as soon as the first shot was fired by
tho night visitors, but so far as can
i be ascertained the party were not
injured and were able to retreat to
where they had a car parked and
jumping into thi3 made their escape
from the scene of the trouble.
As soon as possible Mr. McConnell
reached a telephone and called the
office of the sheriff at this city and
by a scant few moments the men were
missed. Sheriff Reed called the night
force and Officers Libershal and Pick
rel were notified and reported that
a few moments before a large car
'had passed through the city headed
north.
The toll keepers at tho bridge re
ported that a large car with three or
four men had dashed across the
bridge a few moments after the car
had passed through Plattsmouth, go
ing at arry high rate of speed and
headed evidently for Omaha. Tour
ists passing along the highway and
arriving here later reported that the
car was going past them at a high
rate of speed toward the north.
The village of Nehawka has suffer
ed visitations from robbers at differ
ent times in the past, and the fact
that they had an alert marshal on
the job was all that saved them evl
dentally last night as the armed party
had evidently come to do business.
Moving picture shows are to be
glyen in Mexican schools to educate
the pupils to the need of legal mar
riages. It is hoped that in this way)
tne marital tie may become as sa
cred in Mexico as it is in Hollywood.
May Organize
a Twilight Base
ball League Here
Number of Players in City Would'
Seem to Justify the Formation
of Several Teams.
From Wednesdays Daily
In the last few days there has
bean more or less discussion of the
project of organizing a twilight base
ball league in the city which would
give the fans some real entertain
ment in tho hours from five on to
dusk.
There are a large number of the
younger players interested in the
great national pastime this season and
they feel that several teams could be
selected over the city that would
provide some real talent in the base
ball line that would permit tho or
ganization of a number of teams
which would be well fcaTanccd and
able to give a good account of them
selves on the diamond.
Several years ago the city enjoyed
this form of baseball when the var
ious departments of the local shops
were organized in the league and had
some real ball teams to contend for
the championship and on alternate
rights the teams battled Tor supre
macy, playing about two games a
week and furnishing the fans much
entertainment as well as developing
the baseball talent that the members
possessed.
Sam Moye, one of the enthusiastic
fans of the city has been agitating
the twilight league and hopes to find
a responsive chord among the players
that will permit a four or six team
league to he organized and play in
the summer nights if the summer
materializes.
BETTER WEATHEE NOW
The weather conditions in this lo
cality should be better now as the
ground hog. that evil animal whose
presence is supposed to mark the con
tinuance of winter, has been cap
tured. John L. Smith, who reside?
in the Scidlitz place on Wintersteen
hill, last night captured an animal
that resembles an orposum in looks
and which Mr. Smith states is a sure
enough ground hog. The animal was
located by a dog belonging to the
Smith family and who assisted in
getting Mr. Groundhog out of the
hole that he had attempted to crawl
into and after the animal was brought
to light he was killed. Mr Smith
brought the animal down to the busi
ness section of the city and exhibited
it as Ed Donat's soft drink palace
and Mr. Donat was able to identify
the animal as resembling the Hun
garian snickerwitz, one of the bes'
known of the members of the animal
family.. inEurope!...

Modern smokers demand quality
and put Camel first
THIS experienced age knows the good tobaccos it demands
in a cigarette. And it has made Camel the greatest leader
any age has ever known.
Camel's choice tobaccos and its blending for smoothness
and mellowness have made it supreme with modern smok
ers. Camel today is world favorite, because of quality.
Camel was made to succeed in an age that knows merit.
Just try Camels and youll know why no other cigarette can
compare with them. Let the choice of the modern world
show you what smoking enjoyment can really be
"Have a Camel!"
