Postmaster J. W. Holmes Walking
Today as Car Taken Early
This Morning.
From Monday's Ta!ly
At a very parly hour this morn ins
the police wtTf kept very busy in
trying to round up the party or par
ties that ver nulling off a number,
of petty theft and which culminated
in the stealing of th' Ford coupe of
Postmaster .F. W. Ilolm from near
the Herold apartments, where he re-ridt-s.
The parties were ope rating in sev
eral parts of the city, as fhey stole
a frrip from thp car of Dr. Ji. 1.
Vetuver. which had been left park
ed nar his residence on High school
hill and the grip was found later in!
the car of George F. Dovey near the
lei old apartments. The e ar of
Charles Hula, which was also left
parked n. ar his home on High school
nut, nan trie battery removed and the
cells drained ami rendered useless.
The chief basis of the activities of
the mischief makers appeared to be
in the vicinity of the Herold apart
ments, where they took the car of
H. H. Ilov.iiur from his home iuxt
north of the apartment house and
rolled it down to the apartments on
".th street and left it in place of the
car of Mr. Holmes which they took
and apparently made their getaway.
An attempt was also made to get
away with the car of Waldemar
S nnk hsen about 5 o'clock this
morning, but the parties were .seen
by members of the family and the
police called. In the meantime they
were able to make their getaway be
fore being apprehended.
The work seems to have been that
of some mischief maker or someone
v ho was unbalanced, judging from
the nature of the stunts that they
pulled off and it is thought that the
car of Mr. Holmes will probably be
found later, abandoned, as was the
case of the tar of Mr. Howeiter. the
persons taking the car seemingly not
caring to make a getaway with the
property.

Pioneer Bridge
is Closed and
Will be Wrecked
J Plattsmonth Auto and Wagon Bridge
Which Was Erected in 1911
to Be Dismantled.
From Monday's Dally
Yesterday the bridge over the
Platte river which has been operated
by the Plattsmouth Auto and Wagon
Bridge Co., was closed to travel and
the structure that has 6erved as a
meai of crossing of the river since
1911 will soon be a mere memory.
This bridge was one of the first
structures of its kind in the state
and was erected when the travel
over the highways wa3 not as heavy
as today and at the time that T. H.
Pollock of this city, with Ralph Duff
of Nebraska City and others, erected
the bridge, its success as a paying
investement was a matter of doubt
but it was built to give the residents
of the southeastern section of the
state a means of travel over the river
and to Omaha and points north and
at the time of its erection was a very
advanced step forward.
The first year of the bridge were
lean for the owners of the structure
but with the vast development of
the auto industry and the thousands
of cars .and trucks coming into ser
vice, the bridge became a great suc
cess and in the past ten years has
been a source of a fine return to the
owners for their foreslghtedness in
placing the bridge in service.
Since the erection of the tew steel
and concrete bridge that Is operated
by Cass and Sarpy counties has been
in service the older bridge has fal
len off in its patronage as the state
aid bridge will soon be a free struc
ture led to the decision of the
company owning the older bridge to
sell the structure and have it dis
mantled. YOUN MEN IN TROUBLE

Ownership of
Land on River
Front on Trial
Dispute Over the Right of Home
stead Rights Claimed by Some
of the Residents.
From Tuesday's Daily
The district court has spent two
day in the trial of a case that in
volves the title to certain land on
the river bottoms just east of the
Burlington station, which has been
in more or less litigation for the past
twelve years.
The action is one in which Wil
liam Hartwick and August Bach are
the plaintiffs against William Fergu
son and Jean Mason and which in
volves the often disputed question of
the right of ownership of the land
formed by the accretion of the Mis
souri river. Mr. Mason had settled
on a tract of the land that was
formed b3' accretion and adjoining
the land that was owned by the plain
tiffs in the case. Later Br. Mason
sold the land to Mr. Ferguson and
when he attempted to gain poses
sion of the land his title was dis
puted by the plaintiffs, who claim
the land because of the fact that it
was formed by the river and joining
their property.
This land was long disputed by
the city of Plattsmouth and a group
of parties that had settled and erect
ed residences on the land and in the
trial of the case in the courts the
homstead rights of the residents was
confirmed with the exception of the
baseball park which had been fenced
and cared for by the baseball asso
ciation and title to which was vested
in the city. At the time of the trial
of the previous cases, the denial ot
the right of the city or the Burling
ton to the land, formed by accretion
by reason of they having title to the
land adjoining, was denied.
The case has attracted much at
tion and a large number of inter
ested spectators have been present
in court to hear the trial of the case.
BURNING GRASS CAUSES
TROUBLE LAST EVENING
Fronx,TuedaT's Da.il ' -
Last evening the fire alarm was
turned in from the south part of the
city, where burning grass was
threatening the destruction of the
lodge of B. A. Rosencrans, located
near the former T. E. Parmele resi
dence and the blaze for a time seem
ed destined to sweep over the entire
two blocks. With the assistance of
the volunteer help that arrived,
the fire was checked and while it
burned over a considerable area there
was no serious damage done.
The fire was started when Mr.
Rosencrans was burning off a small
track of grass near, his lodge, the
wind suddenly springing up from the
north, giving the fire a great start
and which caused it to sweep on up
the hill to the south and in the di
rection of the Parmele residence. The
use of wet sacks and other fire fight
ing implements soon had the fire
under control and Mr. Rosencrans,
with a number of assistants remain
ed at the scene of the fire until all
danger of further spread of the fire
was over.
The lodge of Mr. Rosencrans has
one of the largest and most attractive
fireplaces in the city and had the fire
gained a little more headway it would
surely have swept the building and
destroyed this fine piece of work, the
fireplace representing a number of
year's effort on the part of Mr. Rosen
crans and which has stones from all
parts of the globe that have been
sent here by friends to be placed in
the fireplace.
CARS HAVE SMASHUP
From Tuesday's Daily
Last evening an auto accident oc
curred at Main and Eleventh street
when the Ford truck of Jess Warga
and. the sedan driven by Alex
Schliscke crashed at the intersection

driving south on Eleventh street on
his way to the fire in the south part
of the city while Mr. Schliscke was
driving west on Main street at the
time and the two cars came head on
at the crossing. The sedan of Mr.
Schliscke was quite badly damaged
in the impact while the truck of Mr.
Warga was not damaged to any ex
tent. ERMAN GALLOWAY IMPROVING

Here Sunday.
From Tuesday's Dariy
This morning at 9:15 Mrs. Martha
Murray, mother of Mrs. Bert Reed,
died at the family home in this city
after an illness of several weeks and
at the ripe old age of eighty-three
years.
Mrs. Murray was Injured last fall
in an auto accident near Elmwood,
and her health has been failing since
that time and for the past eight
weeks she has been bedfast the great
er part of the time and her advanced
years and weakness caused the hopes
of her recovery to be very slight. In

learn with regret of her death and
extend to the bereaved family their
deepest sympathy.
Mrs. Murray is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Bert Reed of this
city and Mrs. Albert Walz of Fort
Morgan, Colorado.
MONDAY EVENING SERMON
From Tuesday's Duty
The Monday evening sermon in the
series of services being held in the
Methodist church was on "Living
W'ithout God." Rev. Sortor took as
his text the eighth verse of the
fourteenth chapter of the epistle to
the Romans stating that: "Whether
we live, we live unto the Lord, and
whether we die, we die unto the
Lord." There are many people in
the world who profess no need of
God or His church. They are willing
to concede the apparent reality of
God, but they are never gripped by
the absolute inescapable presence of
God. No man lives without the
blessing of God. It is just as im
possible as living in the United
States or any other country and not
being subject to the laws and bene
fits of that country. The highest
type of American citizenship can
only be enjoyed when those subject
to its power have likewise caught
the idealism and spirit of American
government. Just as an escaped con
vict from Joliet penitentiary over
fourteen years ago was apprehended
in Kansas City because he betrayed
innocently a fact of acquaintance
ship with Billy Sunday as an orphan
in an orphanage in Iowa so we are
apprehended by our own stubborn
ness. There is something within man
which demands an open citizenship
with God to be perfectly satisfied.
This convict confessed the first peace
of mind in the whole fourteen years,
so man never has real peace of mind
without an acknowledged citizenship
in God's kingdom. God is the only
Inescapable reality in this world
which satisfies the soul of man.
HITCH IN FLIGHT PLANS

assistant pilot. While Colonel Fitz
maurice and the Baldonnell author
ities deny that he will replace Arthur
Spindler as co-pilot with Capt Her

Spindler from Dublin, strengthened
the belief that there has been a hich
