Political Can
didates Getting
Lined for Race
Last Ten Days for Filings for State
and County Offices Is Now
at Hand.
From Monday's Daily
As the entries for the April pri
mary race take their place at the
post for the start of the big prelim
inary political marathon, the inter
est in the primary increases and that
but ten days intervenes until the
closing of the lists, those who have
political ambitions are getting into
the running.
The latest filing at the office of
County Clerk George R. Sayles. ,the
official campaign starter, is that of
Charles L. Martin of this city, who
has announced himself as a candi
date for the democratic nomination
for the office of county commissioner
in the first district. Mr. Martin is
an old time resident of the county
and was for a great many years en
gaged in farming and has for sev
eral years made his home in this
city and has been a lifelong member
of the democratic party.
Several days ago a petition was
filed in the office of the county
clerk signed by residents of Murray
asking Commissioner Charley Sparig-
er to again 'become a candidate for
the office that he now holds, but so
far Mr. Spangler has not accepted
the filing or made known his posi
tion relative to the race for office at
the coming primary. Mr. Spangler,
like Mr. Martin, is a member of the
democratic faith.
There are still several offices that
are to be filed for as there is no re
publican candidate for state senator
or county commissioner in the first
district, while on the democratic
side the position of state represnta
tive remains open, altho the friends
of W. H. Heil, well known resident
of Louisville, are strongly urging
him for the position of siate repre
sentative. There is no filing on either ticket
as yet for the position of county
surveyor, one of the few county of
fices that goes on the block at this
fall election.
The short time remaining will
make it necessary for prospective
candidates to make their choice on
entering the race or remaining in
the background, in a very few days.
'JOHN DOE" HERE
Saturday night as the purpling
shadows of the midnight hour came
on and the residents of the city were
peacefully wrapped in their slum
bers, the night police force. Officers
Libershal and Pickrel, apprehended
one of the best known characters in
poetry, prose and legal lore, "John
Doe," or at least this is the name
that decorates the blotter at Judge
William Weber's glittering place of
justice.
This time "John Doe" was caught
with several pints of the distilled
prohibition dew, otherwise hootch,
which he stated he was conveying
to his dwelling place in the lands
to the south and the beverage com
ing from the far famed distilleries
of the state metropolis. "John" re
quires a great deal of strimulant and
hence the extra supply that was cap
tured, but now, alas, the drouth will
be even more severe.
The charge of possession was filed
by the police and. the victim of the
affair was forced to disgorge one
hundred berries and the necessary
trimmings to appease the feelings of
the outraged and indignant justice
ere he was released and sent on his
way sadder and wiser.
LEG BROKEN IN FIGHT
George Jacks, Plattsmouth, suf
fered ar fractured right leg in a fight
Sunday afternoon in front of the
Miller hotel Twenty-sixth and O
streets. When police arrived Jacks
was on the pavement, unable to arise
and walk. His son, Ralph, 17, was
standing nearby.
Neither Jacks nor his son were
able to explain how the fight start
ed or who their assailants were.
Young Jacks told police he had ar
rived only after his father had been
knocked down and did not witness
the fight.
Jacks was taken to St. Catherine's
hospital. World-Herald.
Societies to
Form Patriotic
Council Here
Several Organizations Will Join in
Move to Preserve the Historic
Teachings of Nation.
From Tuesday's Da.il v
For some time there has been a
discussion as to the advisibility of
the patriotic societies of the city and
veteran organizations forming a
council that might have the purpose
of bringing united action regarding
the observance of the patriotic holi
days and also urging the teaching of
the real meaning of the great mo
ments in American History that are
now seemingly neglected.
In order that this movement for
a central head that might reflect the
sentiments of the several organiza
tions, a meeting was held last even
ing of several of these organizations
of the city and the first steps were
taken last evening when a tentative
patriotic council was arranged for.
The organizations that will form
this council will he the Grand Army
of the Republic, Spanish War Veter
ans. American Legion. Daughters of
the American Revolution. Woman's
Relief Corps and American Legion
Auxiliary.
The main purpose of the council.
which will comprise the heads of
each of the six organizations named,
will be to see that the great events
in American history and our nation
al life are properly observed and the
lessons that are to be found in the
glorious story of American national
history are preserved and given to the
future generations through the pub
lic schools and in other ways that
will give the coming generation a
fitting appreciation of what the
American republic means and what
the men and women of the past have
sacrificed that this nation might at
tain its growth of freedom and which
must be kept inviolate from the tink
ering from within if it is to be given
to the future Americans as strong
and stable as it was received from
the brave men and women of the
past.
It will also be the object of the
council to secure united action on
the observance of the various pa
triotic holidays, the first of which is
to be Washington's birthday on Wed
nesday, and which dates include the
impressive and beautiful Memorial
day as well as Independence day. Ar
mistice day, Lincoln's birthday, Flag
day. Constitution week and other
dates that have significance in the
nation's life.
The meeting last evening was par
ticipated in by representatives of the
American Legion, W. R. C, D. A. R.
American Legion Auxiliary, the aged
G. A. R. members being unable to
be out and the Spanish war veterans
also being unable to be present, but
who will be engaged in the pro
gram. The organization of the coun
cil was completed by the naming of
Mrs. E. H. Wescott as the chairman
and Mrs. F. R. Gobelman as the sec
retary of the council.
LOSES OVERCOAT
From Tuesday's Daily
Several days ago a lad, apparently
sixteen or seventeen years of age.
came into the city on the "bum"
and after securing shelter for the
night was given some work at the
Royal cafe and the proprietor, Harry
Leosis, late of Athens, decided that
he would give the boy a lift by giv
ing him a few days work helping
around the cafe at odd jobs. The boy
was a very good worker and seemed
of a very pleasant and accommodat
ing disposition and made quite a
favorable impression on the prop
rietor and his family. On Sunday
evening there came to the cafe two
other young hoboes and their pres
ence gave the itch to travel to the
lad, altho he gave no announcement
of his intention of going away and
it was expected that he would show
up Monday as usual for work, but he
came not.
The chief fact of the case was,
however, last evening when Mr. Leo
sis decided to take a stroll up into
the city and when he sought his
overcoat he found it missing. The
coat was one whose fur collar had
caressed the cheek of the owner on
many a winter day and the coat was
like an old friend and its loss one
that is bitterly regretted. It was not
thought that the disappearance of
the boy and the coat had any signi
ficance until the toll keepers at the
Platter river bridge reported last
night that the boy, whom they re
cognized, had gone over the bridge
headed northward and wearing the
raiment of Mr. Leosis that's all,
there isn't any more coat.
RECOVERS FROM ILLNESS
From Monday's Dally
George Perry, member of the sen
ior claps of the high school, also
center on the Platter basketball team,
who has been confined to his home
for the past several days by illness,
has so far recovered from his indis
position that he was able to return
to his school work today and it is
hoped will be back in hia usual form
for the basketball game on Friday
night with North hign.
CUT DOWN JUDGES
Under the recent law of the state
legislature the number of judges on
the election boards over the county
at the primary and general elections
will be limited to two lor each of
the major parties. Heretofore the
majority party has had three judges
on the election board but under the
new law under : which the 1928
boards will be named there will be
but two of the judges named for the
democratic and republican partits.
The change in the law will be made
effective for the April primary elec
tion, the notices to the members of
the board being issued in a short
time to the parties who have been
recommended to th" clerk of the dis
trict court.
North High to
Make Real Foe
for tfee Platters
Basketball Game Friday Evening
Will Be Probably the Stifftst
on the Schedule.
From Wednesday's Daily
Friday evening when the iong
and lanky cohort3 of Coach Jack
son of North high come to tin city
to play a return basketball game
with the Platters, the blue and white
will find one of their most formid
able foes of the season and the ttam
that has one of the two wins or' the
season against the locals.
However in th game at Omaha at
the opening of the season, the Plat
ters were minus the services cf Perry,
regular center and Galloway, the star
eft guard, holding the Noruim to
a three point victoiy and with a the
squad in shape for the battl? here
Friday the locals can secure an even
break of the games by a victory.
The Vikings have had succds in
the past two weeks in their sanies
until last night, when CreigLton
Prep measured them for a 22 to 14
win and made the second time that
the junior Jays hav? won from North
this season. ,- -
The game here Friday will be
plenty good, however, and either
team that wins will know that they
have been somewhere and of course
we expect to see the blue and white
triumph in the battle, and all the
fans should be present to give voice
to the battle cry of the Platter1?.
The team this year has made a fine
record and played some of the best
teams in the state and deserve a
house that will fill the gym to its
capacity as one of the last conflicts
of the season and the larger the
crowd the more shekles that will be
derived and from which the team
will have to depend on their tour
nament trip.
Let every lover of basketball come
early and stay late and make the
crowd the largest of the season and
show that the community is with
their fast and aggressive team and
appreciate the manner in which the
boys have carried the Plattsmouth
colors on the court this season.
SECURE COYOTE SCALFS
The bounty of $2 a head that is
offered by the state for all coyote
scalps is one that is a very profit
able industry and there is hardly a
day that County Clerk George R.
Sayles does not receive at least one
of these scalps from some of the resi
dents of the county. This month
there has been a large number turn
ed in and the lucky parties receiving
the two dollars reward for each one.
Arnold Tenuant of Louisville and
Raymond Hart of Weeping Water
were in yesterday with one each of
the heads and for which they re
ceived the reward. The largest num
ber brought in recently was that
secured by G. S. Upton of Union,
who came in with seven of the heads.
The bounty law serves to keep the
residents on the outlook for the ani
mals and prevents them doing a great
deal of damage to stock and chick
ens over the county.
ROADS ARE IMPROVING
From Tuesday s Dally
Those who traveled into the city
in the last few days report that the
dirt roads over the county are slowly
improving from the effects of the
recent snows and rains and that in
many cases the highway workers
have been able to drag the road and
relieve the roughness that resulted
from the roads being rutted up by
the travel in the mud. The wet
weather has improved the gravel
highways and called forcibly the
need of more of these hard surfaced
roads over the county where the
travel grows heavier each year by
reason of the increasing number of
motor vehicles.

Seines May Be
Used in Missouri
River Fishing
Judge Wheeler Grants Temporary In
junction to Prevent State From
Interfering With Use
A temporary injunction to pre
vent the state from interfering with
the use of seines, traps and nets in
taking fish from the Missouri river
was granted by Judge Wheeler of
the district court at Lincoln. Tues
day morning in the case of William
Miller of Omaha against H. J. Mc
Laughlin, secretary of agriculture
and Chief Game Warden Frank
O'Connell and their agents. About
eighteen or twenty fishermen from
the Missouri river were present in
court. The case applies to Miller and
those similarly situated. About two
hundred are effected by the order.
The suit was brought by Miller
on the ground that Nebraska can
not prohibit seining, trapping and
the use of nets until the Ktate of
Iowa concurs. It was claimed bv the
plaintiff's attorney, Seymour L
Smith, that the two states have con
current jurisdiction and that the Ne
braska law making it prohibitory to
have a seine in possession did not
apply to the Missouri Titer. Both
sides agreed that the rivermen have
a right to seine on the Iowa side as
Iowa permits seining with certain
regulations. It was also conceded
that a man might seine on that
side but Assistant Attorney General
Dort contended that Nebraska had
jurisdiction on its own side and could
confiscate the seines. The plaintiff
contended that the concurrent juris
dication extended from shore to shore
and that Nebraska could not prevent
seining until Iowa had agreed to it.
Judge Wheeler in granting the
temporary injunction said that the
attack on the law prohibiting seines
or seining for any but minnows on
the ground that the title was not
preper amounted to nothing. There
was no doubt but what the men had
a right to fish on the Iowa side.
There was some doubt about the
legality of seining on the Nebraska
side. The stream was an inter
state stream and there was concur
rent jurisdication of Iowa and Ne
braska. From the authorities he
could not see that it was a crime to
seine in the Missouri, the Nebraska
statute was too broad. He said that
his injunction applied to the whole
stream and not merely to the Iowa
side.
The plaintiff cited an Oregon case
in which the Columbia river was
concerned where Oregon passed a
law prohibiting fishing on Sunday.
An Oregon citizen fished in the state
of Washington on Sunday. He was
arrested. The court held that the
two states hed concurrent jurisdica
tion and that a man could not be
punished for an act where jurisdi
cation of the river was concerned.
