HAVE LOTS OP TROUBLE
Prom Monday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon a party of
young people were noticed by Chief
of Police Johnson driving around the
main section of the city and with a
car that failed to carry the license
plate that the state of Nebraska har
set forth as necessary for the purpose
of being allowed to operate a motor
vehicle. The chief investigated the
matter and discovered that this waf
the least of the trouble. The quar
tet, two young men and two young
women stated that they were from
Lincoln and they had imbibed very
heavily of the beverages, that carry
the Lincoln kick and is most potent,
judging from the condition of the
members of the party. The chief also
discovered that a part of the wet car
go was still in the car and the law
took the ladies and their escorts, the
car and the booze over to the city
jail to await the grinding of the mill?
of justice
Just what will be filed
against the parties has not
been
learned but several counts are pro
bable. Owing to the fact that the
city jail while boasting of the best
of accomodations for their male pris
oners has no quarters for the ladies
the two Lincoln girls were escorted
to the jail of Sheriff Bert Reed where
they are now being held and the two
young men remain in the solidues of
the city bastile.

Again Victors
Over the Locals
Score of 3 to 1 Gives Them Win
Sharp and Flashy Fielding
Game by the Visitors.
From Monday's Dally
The hosts of the Julian-Essex Mo
tors baseball team from the great
city to the north, came down yester
day afternoon and again took a hot
ly contested game from the Platts
mouth team, the score at the end of
the game standing 3 to 1 for the
visitors and almost duplicating the
game of July 15th when the Essex
team won by the score of 3 to 0.
The visitors had a fast and aggre
sive team that played a fast fielding
game and some of the most dazzling
fielding that would have done credit
to Hans Newman in his palmist days
was shown in the course of the
game, while the Plattsmouth team
had many chances and only a few
of the most difficult were allowed to
creep into the error column.
Both Cake for the visitors and
Swanson for the Platters, hurled a
good game throughout and were able
to keep the few bingles well scat
tered, altho theblows of the visitors
came at times when they were pro
ductive of runs.
Joe Krejci proved the most ef
fective of the swatters for the locals
with a triple that save the local
team from a zero mark.
The visitors opened the fireworks
in the first frame with a score. Laird
wast first up and was out on a
grounder, Newman to O'Donnell, and
then Swatki, third sacker of the
visitors rapped one that gave him a
safety at first base and was followed
by Baumgardner with another rap,
a grounder that Swanson threw wide
to first and the runner was safe on
the initial sack while Baumgardner
was advanced and Swatki scored
when Monaghan hit to the left gar
den, Baumgardner being nipped at
the plate on the attempt to make it
two runs.
The , Plattsmouth team ' scored In
the second inning when Trumble re
tired on a grounder to the pitcher
and when Joe Krejci proceeded to
show the stuff that has made him
so well known in athletic lines, rap
ping one to the right garden for
three bags. Krejci scored on the
squeeze play, McCarty laying down
a perfect bunt that did the trick.
Spidell closed the inning with a short
fly to right that was fielded in time
to retire the runner at first base.
It was in the fifth inning that
the visitors climbed back into the
lead with two runs to the good that
was never headed by the locals. Wick
ert opened the inning with a safe
blow that placed him at first base,
and then Davis placed a hot one
down in the short territory that got
away from Newman and on the re
turn McCarty made a wild peg to
third that allowed Wickert to come
oyer for the score. The blow of Laird
to center scored Davis and ended the
scoring as Swatki was out on a
grounder to Swanson.
The game was constantly threat
ened by rain and from the second
frame until the close there was the
menace of the downpour and hardly
had the last swat been taken at the
ball by the Plattsmouth team than
the downpour started.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:

the churches at Louisville and Green
wood from attending the convention,
there were over 250 here to enjoy the
day.
The Plattsmouth church was the
host of the visiting members and
made every effort to see that all
were given the fullest opportunity of
enjoying themselves and making the
day one of pleasure and spiritual in
spiration. Rev. Grassmueck, the local
pastor, was the leader in the day's
program and in his pleasing manner
he assisted in making the convention
one of the best that has been held In
the county, altho the pastor was dis
appointed that members of his for
mer charge at Greenwood were un
able to be here for the meeting.
The rpeaker at the morning ses
sion of the convention was Rev. G.
P. Clark of Elmwood while in the
afternoon the members of the con
vention had the opportunity of a
most inspiring address from Rev.
Dennis of Ashland, a leader in the
state in the church work.
The musical program of the con
vention was presented by the choir
of the First Christian church under
the direction of Mrs. Hal Garnett,
they being joined by the orchestra

and henenth whirh the tnhles lnari-
L,H with th msinv ?nnn things that

pleasant that the Christian churches
of the county have enjoyed in a great
many years.
PROMPT ACTION SAVES LOSS
From Monday's Dally
This noon the prompt action and
coolness of Mrs. W. A. Wells checked
what might have proven a very ser
ious fire at her home on North 6th
street. Mrs. Wells had left the kit
chen for a few moments and when she
returned it was to find that the cur
tain on one of the windows had blow
ed over against the gas stove and
was blazing up in bad shape and in
a few seconds the curtain was all
burned and a part of the frame work
of the window charred. Mrs. Well'
secured a pan of water and by prompt
work put the fire out and made un
necessary the turning in of thr
fire alarm and aside from the burned
curtain and damaged woodwork there
was no loss sustained.

should be home and as Mr. and Mrs
John E. Schutz and Florence drove up
to spend Sunday, she decided to re
turn to this city. Mrs. Peterson if
looking fine and feels much improved

GETTING SOME CORN ;
From Wednesday's Dally
In front of the Thierolf clothing
store this morning the Journal rep
resentative noticed a tall green ob
ject that towcied over the top of
the electrolier post and which at
first aroused some curiosity as to
what this giant piece of vegetation
might be, it resembling a good sized
tree. It was found on investigation
to be corn real corn none of your
ten, eleven or twelve foot corn stalks
as the stalk measured fourteen fet
in height and as it stood in its field
the first ear was eight feet from the
ground. This stalk is from the farm
of Jake Cook south of this city and
is a sample of corn that can cause
the Nebraskan to give the merry
laugh to the claims of the state of
Iowa. Mr. Cook however may loBe
his title, as corn of even greater
height is expected to develop and
in fact some in his own field will
probably exceed that of the one
brought in yesterday.

BUS GOES INTO DITCH
From Wednesday's Daily
Last evening the Interstate bus
enroute from Falls City to Omaha
and which passed through this city
at 5:30 ran into a ditch along the
K. of T. highway south of the Pappio
bridge at Fort Crook and the bus re
mained in its position of inactivity
until 9:30 when several trucks and
a wrecker rescued the bus that was
resting partially in a ditch and
threatening to turn over.
The accident occurred as the dri
ver was on the level stretch of road
way just before reaching the Pappio
and as he came along he noticed two
cars ahead of him but though they
were moving and when but a short
distance away he discovered that the
drivers of the car had parked in the
center of the road to hold a social
visit and declined to give any pass
ageway to the bus, the driver of the
bus being compelled to swing clear
over to the roadside and so close that
he slid into the ditch, he either hav
ing to do this or hit the cars that
were standing in the center of the
road.
Trucks were sent to try and get
the large bus out but to no avail and
a wrecker was finally sent from
Omaha that after much effort got the
bus out of its perilous position.
