Elmwood Young
Man Drowns in
Meadow Lake
Silas Weigert, 25, Meets Death While
Attempting to Swim in Sand
pit Lake at Meadow.
From Thursday's Dally
Late yesterday afternoon Silas
Weigert, aged 25, son of Rev. and
Mrs. F. L. Weigert, of Elmwood, met
death while attempting to swim in
one of the sand pit lakes in the vi
cinity of Meadow, and at noon today
his body had not as yet been brought
from the depths of the small lake.
Mr. Weigert had gone to Meadow
with Vernon Clements and Max
Sutherland, and he being inexper
ienced in swimming had started to
paddle around in the more shallow
portions of the sandpit lake, using a
boat to sustain him in the water, but
apparently the young man had gotten
too far out in the lake and striking
the deep water he had been unable
to find a footing and In his strug
gles lost his hold on the boat and
sank. He strangled, thrashed around
for a few seconds and then sank from
sight in the waters.
Mr, Clement dived into the lake
in an effort to rescue his companion J
and was able to reach the side t)t Mr. '
Weigert but the unfortunate young
man seized Clement around the neck
and caused him to have to break the
hold on Weigert and get away before
he was also drowned. Weigert again
sank and was . not seen again altho
the companions worked around the
lake in an effort to bring the body to
the surface.
The place where Mr. Weigert dis
appeared in some fifteen feet of deep
and it is thought that the body
may have lodged in the large de
posits of mud washed into the lake
by the recent rains and which it is
thought has caught the body and
held it there.
Large numbers of residents from
Elmwood. Murdock and Louisville
were at the scene shortly after the
accident and all efforts made to find
the body but without avail at a late
hour this morning. Sheriff Bert Reed
motored out to the scene of the
drowning to assist in the work of
trying to recover the body.
The parents of the young man are
among the best known residents of
the western part of the county and
the father is the president of the
Elmwood Chamber of Commerce.
DEATH OF FORMER RESIDENT
From Friday's Dally
The announcement of the death
last evening at Glenwood, of J. E.
Tuey, former resident here, was re
ceived by friends here this morning.
Mr. Tuey, who is well advanced in
years, has not been in the best of
health for some time and his illness
had brought his son and other rela
tives to Glenwood to be with the
father in his last days.
For a number of years while liv
ing in this city Mr. Tuey was en
gaged in the grocery business on
South 6th street and was a well
known and very active citizen in the
community and the news of his death
will bring a great regret to the many
old time friends of the family in
Plattsmouth and vicinity.
Since moving from this city to
Glenwood a number of years ago, Mr.
Tuey has been largely engaged in
looking after his land interests there
and it was at that city that Mrs.
Tuey passed away several years ago.
Mr. Tuey has since married and he
leaves the widow of his second mar
riage to mourn his death. There are
five children to mourn the passing of
the father, Ernest J. Tuey, of Elko,
Nevada: Mrs. Zelma Jennings, of
Springfield, Mass.; Mrs. Alice Bar
nett, of Kankakee, Illinois; Mrs.
Hazel Cameron, of Great Falls, Mon
tana, and Chester Tuey, of Glenwood.
One brother, W. H. Tuey, of Omaha,
also survives his passing.
LITTLE ONE IMPROVING
From Thursday' Dally
The reports from the Methodist
hospital at Omaha this morning state
that little Dorothea Mae Duxbury,
who was operated on there yesterday
morning, i3 doing fine and has ral
lied nicely and seemed very bright
and cheerful this morning and from
all indications should have a speedy
recovery from the effects of the oper-
j auun.
Piatt smouth is
to Urge City as
Hospital Site
Local Chamber of Commerce to Pre
sent Advantages of City to the
Veterans Bureau.
From Friday's Dally
The location of the Veterans hos
pital in this state which was decided
on last week at Washington, has
brought forth the ck-ims of several
cities in the state which have offered
, their communities as possible Hies
lor the new nospitai.
Plattsmouth will present their
claims to the Veterans Bureau in
Washington as a site of the hospital
in this state, it was announced to
day when the Chamber of Commerce
prepared to present to the head of
the bureau the facts concerning the
city and its points of vantage in lo
cating the hospital here.
This city is well situated and of
easy access from any point in the
state as well as from western Iowa,
with ample train service from any
point, 'ast, west, north or south and
two main lines of railroad, the Bur
lington and Missouri Pacific furnish
ing the very best means of travel
to and from the city. Plattsmouth
has twenty-five trains and busses
here every day and from every direc
tion so that this feature could not be
surpassed by any city.
The city is located near the two
largest cities in the state, eighteen
miles from Omaha and fifty-five from
Lincoln, being in touch with the
largest bases of hospital supplies and
the best known surgeons of the west
in a half hour ride from the city.
Scenically as a location for the hos
pital this city has a great bid as
there is no more strikingly beauti
fully located place in the state than
Plattsmouth with its hills, . tree
crowned, well paved streets, the sur
rounding territory in which would
be placed the hospital site if brought
here, being among the very best and
most attractive land in the entire
west.
The water supply of the city ranks
as the best in the nation and comes
from deep artesian wells In inex
haustable quantities and free from
the necessity of chemical purifica
tion.
One of the main light and power
companies in the west have their sub
station located here to supply all pos
sible demand for light and power and
at very low rates to the consumer.
The city is presenting its claims
for the consideration of the Veterans
Bureau solely on the merits of the
location and leaving it to the per
sonal investigation of the commis
sion that will probably visit this
state to make recommendations as to
the hospital.
There is no desire to oppose any
other city in the selection of the hos
pital site and believing this city an
ideal spot for an institution of this
kind, the facts are placed for the
consideration of the government.
LET RESURFACING CONTRACT
From Thursday's Dally
The state department of public
works at the session held yesterday
to let contract s for road work, took
up the matter of the re-surfacing of
the King of Trails wagon and auto
bridge over the Platte river north of
this city.
The contract was let to the Allied
Contractors Inc. of Omaha, one of
the leading contracting companies in
this part of the state.
The bid of the successful company
was $1.45 a square yard for rock
asphalt, which will bring the total
cost of the re-surfacing of the bridge
to approximately $4,600.
The bridge has been in need of
resurfacing for some time and the
work has been held up as the first
bids were thought to be too high,
but the latest bid on the work seems
to be more satisfactory and more in
keeping with the price that the state
desired to pay.
The travel over the bridge has in
creased a great deal since the struc
ture was made a free bridge and the
replacing of the present clay and
gravel surface with the more per
manent rock asphalt will make the
roadway of the bridge much smoother
and easy of travel than heretofore.
The state has specified that the re
surfacing shall be carried on so that
the travel over the bridge will not
be interfered with and the work will
be done on one side of the bridge re
survaced, making it possible to drive
over the bridge during the working
operations.

death at the hospital at Tacoma,
Washington, of Mrs. Shirley Garrett,
formerly Miss Mary E. Tutt of this

Gravel Making
Lincoln Avenue
Real Highway
Section of Roadway From Paving
Past Burlington Shops Much
Improved by Work.
Ft ore Saturday's Dally
The past few days has seen a
wonderful improvement in the north
ern portion of Lincoln avenue past
the Burlington shops, where a gravel
surfacing is being given the road
way. The addition to the street improve
ment program has been made pos
sible by the joint efforts of the Bur
lington and the city, the railroad
furnishing the city with a number
of car loads of gravel and the city
preparing the roadway to receive the
gravel and having the gravel haul
ed and placed on the surface of the
street.
Lincoln avenue, one of the
main highways of the city has been
rather in the role of an orphan in
the street improvement programs as
both of the other avenues, Chicago
and Washington , have been paved
paved and are a part of the King of
Trails transcontinental highway,
while Lincoln avenue has been com
pelled to get along with the common
old dirt roadway until a few years
ago when the railroad provided cin
ders and the city placed them on
the road. The new gravel surface
will make the part of the avenue
treated, a real boulevard and it is
unfortunate that the gravel cannot
be extended on to the "Horn" where
this street intersects the King of
Trails highyway.
The residents of the vicinity of the
street improvement cannot but ap
preciate the improvement and it is
a real boon to the shop employes
who drive to and from their work
and gives a real surface to the avenue
as those who have traveled over Lin
coln avenue can Vouch for.

Local Ball Team
Has Easy Time
With Girl Team
10 to 2 Represents the Sum of the
Score of a Loosly Played Game
in Closing Innings.
From Saturday's Dally
Last evening the Hanger Girls'
traveling baseball organization, op
posed the local Interstate team at
the Interstate park and the result
when the ciowd started home in the
twilight was 10 to 2 and could have
been more had the locals had the
strength to continue their base run
ning. The game opened with the visitors
sending one of their girl players,
named Schmidt, to the mound and
who also officiated as lead off lady
in the batting list, who was nicked
for four hits in two innings and also
three runs, Newman and Gansemer
taking advantage of the occasion to
pole two Backers. In the third Miss
Schmidt retired to left field while
Ricehill, a male member of the team
and reputed a Winnebago Indian,
was sent in to try and check the
Platters but without much success.
Herbert Swanson, who pitched
way back in 1926 and 1927, was sent
to the mound for the local team and
tried his inshoots and outcurves on
the girls up until the seventh inning
when he decided to rest and admire
the landscape and Ernest Trumble
finished the game. Both local pitch
ers were in good form and but six
hits were secured by the invaders.
All of the local players .were shift
ed Into the lineup at different times
to try their luck against the un
happy attempts to check their at
tack that the visitors presented.
Plattsmouth scored in the openei
when Were singled and was sacri
ficed to second by O'Donnell, to score
on the double of Newman to left.
In the second inning Spidell hit
safe to center and advanced on the
poor peg of McDonald, the visiting
catcher, and was followed by Gan
semer, who doubled to right field and
Ganse ncored on the single of Swan
son over second-
The visitors scored their first rui.-
in the second when Dorgan hit over
short and was able to score on a
passed ball.
The Plattsmouth players again
picked up two scores in the third
when 'Newman was given a walk,
aided, sfyy an error of the second
sacktir when Distell grounded and
both runners scored when Joe Krejci
doubled over second base.
The fourth frame of the hectic
struggle saw three runs annexed for
the Platters when Swanson opened
with a hit, was sacrificed by Were,
O'Donnell was safe on a fielder's
choice, both scoring on the hit of
Newman, Trumble was safe on the
error of the visitors third sacker
and scored on the hit of Spidell.
The last scoring of the locals was
in the fifth inning when Svoboda
opened with a hit and Swanny was
safe on an error and then plenty
more bobbles allowed the Platts
mouth runners to race around the
diamond and finally score.
The second and last tally of the
Rangers was in the sixth when
Schmidt, feminine hurler registered
when the girls nicked Swanny for
two hits and a base on balls as well
as an error by O'Donnell.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:

Judge Begley De
cides 'Corn Case'
From Bellevue
Power of Village to Regulate Crops
Recognized Or din an oe Is
Held Invalid
Judge Begley in district court at
Papillion, Neb., July 23, gave out a
written opinion in the now cele
brated "Corn Case" growing out of
the cultivation of corn within the
village limits at Bellevue, Neb. The
decision is an important one in view
of the fact that the same situation
has arisen in or could arise in any
incorporated village in the state of
Nebraska.
Two objections were offered to the
enforcement of the ordinance pro
hibiting the growing of corn withir
the village limits, first that the vil
lage did not have the power or au
thority to pass such an ordinance
and second, that there were defects
in the publication of the ordinance
and that therefore it was void and
unenforcable.
On the first contention the court
held with the Village of Bellevue
and stated in a well grounded opin
ion that the village did possess the
power and authority and that the
court could not question its motives
or decide that such an ordinance
was or was not discriminatory, that
it was within the discretion of the
village to pass such an 'ordnance or
not to pass one. On the second con
tention the court held that the or
dinance had not been legally pub
lished in that there had been nc
publication in a newspaper of gen
eral circulation in the county and
published in the county and in parti
cular in Bellevue with a circulation
in Bellevue.
An injunction was asked by the
corn growers of the village asking
the court to restrain the village
board from enforcing the ordinance
and this injunction was granted by
the court on the grounds that the
ordinance was invalid because of lack
of proper publication.
It is the intention of the village
board to pass a like ordinance it
was learned from reliable sources
and proceed with a proper publica
tion which will under the decision
preent the growing of corn in Bel
levue next year.
HURLER GOES TO NORTH PLATTE
Jimmy "Eaton," who has been the
mound artist for the local team of
the Interstate league team here this
season, bids farewell to the Platts
mouth team and the local fans with
whom he has been a great favorite,
today.
Jimmy received a very flattering
offer from the North Platte team of
the Nebraska State league and will
be seen in the uniform of the Buf
falos from this date on.
Eaton has made a good record
here both in his pitching and stick
work and should make a valuable
addition to the Buffalos who are
struggling to climb back to the first
division of the state league loop.
The Plattsmouth team will depend
on the hurling of Trumble and
Swanson in the game Sunday with
Malvern and the local slab artists
are preparing to give the Iowans all
they have in the game Sunday which
will be played on the Malvern
grounds.

Plattsmouth
Business Men
Visit Nehawka
Eagles Band Gives Concert and Judge
Begley Speaks on Civic Enter
prise and Pride.
From Friday's Daily
Last evening a caravan of autos
loaded with Plattsmouth bu.-infss
men and citizens in general and ac
companied by the Eagles band,
motored to our neighboring city f
Nehawka to enjoy a real old fash
ioned friendly visit and one that was
a delight to the Plattsmouth visitors
and much appreciated by thr- ro
dents of Nehawka.
The Chautauqua will be held at
Nehawka in the next two weeks and
to aid in getting up the real bot-Ht-ing
spirit the Plattsmouth residents
lent their efforts and the Eagle
band added their part in putting the
kick into the pleasant intercity visit.
The local delegation found that
the Nehawka people had prepared
for their coming and the band found
their arrangements for the, concert
all ready for them near the Nehawka
bank building in the center of th
business section of the town. Here'
the band under the direction of W.
R. Holly gave a very delightful pro
gram that was much enjoyed and
which was appreciated by all of the
music lovers of Nehawka and vi
cinity. Adding to the pleasures of the
evening Judge James T. Begley was
requested by the Nehawka committee
to give a few remarks and made a
most inspiring address along the
lines of civic activities and pride in
the home town and its people, that
will be long remembered as carrying
the true ring of community co-ope r
ation and service and in his subject
the distinguished speaker was well
versed as he has served in the ca
pacity of president of the Platts
mouth Chamber of Commerce for a
number of years.
The only thing to mar the per
fect evening of enjoyment was the
shower that raged for some ten min
utes and caused an interlude in the
program of music and the receiving
of the fight returns whith had been
arranged by the Nehawka boosters
to add to the program of the even
ing. The visit was a splendid thing for
both cities as it gave the Piatts
mouth visitors an opportunity of
viewing this attractive little city of
Nehawka and allowed the residents
there a chance of meeting and get
ting acquainted with a large group
of the Plattsmouth business men and
civic boosters.

RAIN nj THE COUNTY
From Friday's Daily -
Last evening a very lively shower
was reported at Nehawka and other
points in the southwest part of the
county, that lasted for several min
utes and laid the dust nicely and
for a time caused the Plattsmouth
visitors at Nehawka to become alarm
ed as to the possibilities of a Btorm.
but the clouds soon passed by and
the concert was resumed. Tho rain
was purely local as the storm did
not visit the eastern part cf the
! county, the visitors to Nehawka find
. ing the highway dusty from Union
north to this city.
There is no slack Business period
for the merchant who advertises his
goods the year 'round.
