Murray Stores
Again Visited
by Burglars
Earl Lancaster and B. H. Nelson
Have Stock Looted by Night
Visitors Again.
From Friday's Dally
The little city of Murray was again
the victim of burglars last night and
for the 'steenth time Earl Lancaster
was the victim of the work of the
night callers and as the result is
short a large part of the stock in the
store, the exact value of which can
not as yet be fully determined.
The parties made their way intc
the double store building occupied by
the B. H. Nelson hardware store and
the Earl Lancaster general store,
by forcing the window in the rear
of the building and from the hard
ware store gained entrance to the
room occupied by the Lancaster store
and where the larger part of the loot
was secured.
The robbery was discovered this
morning when parties who reside
north of the store building saw the
open windows and an investigation
revealed the fact that the stores had
again been visited by burglars.
The articles taken appear to have
been mostly wearing apparel, shirts,
shoes, overalls and other articles of a
similar nature being among the loot
that the burglars made away with.
That the parties making the visit
at the store were cool and deliberate
about the matter is shown by the
fact that they stopped and changed
their clothes in the store, leaving
the old and worn garments and
changing to a new outfit at the ex
pense of Mr. Lancaster.
The robbery appeared to be the
work of some experienced hands and
who were not in a hurry in making
their getaway but took plenty of
time in selecting just what they
wanted from the stock and making
away with it.
Sheriff Bert Reed was notified of
the robbery after its discovery this
morning and spent some time at Mur
ray Jut the fact that the robbery
had - occurred several hours- before
gave but little chance of getting on
a "hot trail" of the robbers who had
ample time to be many miles away
before the robbery was revealed.
GETTING ON THE JOB
From Friday's Dalty
The F. L. Busche Construction Co.,
of Omaha, which has the contract for
the paving in this city, covering some
ten blocks, is getting on the job for
the work and yesterday were moving
their large concrete mixing machines
to the scene of the paving cperation
and getting all ready for the work
of starting the laying of concrete as
soon as the grading and other pre
liminary work is finished.
While all of the streets that are
in the new paving districts are in
need of the pavement to make the
hill streets more passible, the
residents in the North 5th street dis
trict will find that it is a blessing in
every way as that street has been
kept in bad shape all of the summer
by the rains that kept deep gullies
washed in the roadway despite the
work that the city placed on the
road. The paving of the hilly streets
will eliminate the city having to ex
pand large sums each year and which
are practically losses, as the rains
make it necessary to repeat the work
many times during the summer. The
cutting down of the number of un
paved streets will permit the city
keeping the other streets in better
shape.

Service to Com
munity Part of a
Good Citizen
Judge Begley Speaking at Nebraska
City Before Botary Club Out
lines Lines of Citizenship
"A man's value to his community
depends upon the service he gives to
it, and that service, to be of value,
must be a matter of sacrifice of his
personal affairs," Judge James T.
Begley told the Nebraska City Ro
tary Club "Wednesday noon at the
Frontier Hotel, says the Nebraska
City News-Press.
Judge Begley was discussing "Citi
zenship" in connection with the an
nual observance of that important
subject by the club.
"The qualities which, in my mind,
make for good citizenship," Judge
Begley told his interested hearers,
"are industry, vision, courage, hon
esty, character and service.
"In this day when men have been
found corrupt In public service and
have violated the trust of their fel
low citizens in their private affairs
we frequently hear that honesty
doesn't pay," the speaker continued.
"It is not true. Never has there
been a time when men and women
demand more honesty? from Jt heir '
public officials or from those with
whom they associate in a business
way. The business of the world is
conducted on honor, and no institu
tion, public or private, can exist by1
engaging in questionable practices."
County Attorney George H. Helnke
also spoke briefly along the lines of
good citizenship and law enforce
ment. Other guests of the club wexe

Creighton Prep
Wins from the
Platters Friday
Locals Lose to Fast Omaha Team 18
to 0 Fumbles Prove Costly
in Giving Foe Scores
tVora Saturday's Dall
The Creighton Prep school foot
ball team yesterday afternoon at the
Creighton ttadium were able to take
revenue for their 13 to 0 defeat here
last year at the hands of the Platts
mouth team, by handing the Platters
a IS to 0 defeat.
The Omaha team is doped as pro
bably the strongest of the Omaha
school teams this year and their open
ing game stamped them as hard foe?
for any tt-am with Tony Marfisi and
"Red" Surber as the main cogs in
the scoring machine of the Prep
sters. This was the first game of the
season for both teams and while the
locals were losers they showed a good
front to the overpowering foe with
the exceptions of two costly fumbles,
the breaks of the game, that allowed
the Omaha team to start the plays
that resulted in touchdowns, and
with this hard game as a lesson the
Platters will be able to show more
steam in their succeeding cbnfficts
the next of which will be the game
with Tecumseh at this city on Fri
day, October 5th.
The scoring in the game Friday
was in the first half of the game and
twelve of the Prepsters points were
gained in the first quarter.
The first score came when on the
Creighton kick. Herold, playing half
back f.nd safety allowed the pigskin
to get away from him on receiving
and several of the Omaha warriors
fell on the ball on the Plattsmouth
fifteen yard line. On the first play
from the down "Red" Surber, with
a tight line of interference skirted
the left end of the line and was able
to carry the ball over for the first
score.. Surber failed of the kick a?
he did in the two succeeding trys.
The second score occurred when
Marntil punted sixty yeards to place
the ball deep in the Plattsmouth ter
ritory and held the locals and then
started their march to another" scor-
ng. ' Marfisi shot around the end for
i twenty yard gain and plunges by
Canigila put the ball on the twenty
yard line of Plattsmouth. On a fake
play on the left of the line the
Platters defence was drawn and Sur
ber slipped around the right end of
the line to grab a fifteen yard pass
from Marfisi and was able to make
the remaining ten yards for the sec
ond touchdown.
The last touchdown of Creighton
occurred In the second quarter when
another fumble of a punt allowec"
Creighton the ball on the Platts
mouth twenty-seven yard line. The
Prep3ters were penalized and then
Surber broke away for a seventeen
yard dash to the fifteen yard line of
the Platters. Fullback Canigila car
ried the ball on a fake play for r
fifteen yard gain and with the ball
on the two yard line Canigilia plung
ed through for the final counter.
The Platters tightened in the sec
ond half and while unable to score
held the plunging and resourceful
foeman on their plays and the last
half of the game remained scoreless.
For the Platters Bob. Fitch, full
back, and John Teepell at left guard
were the outstanding of the team
and made several fine plays.

! merce Last Nirfit
SmaD Attendance Checks the Expres-
sions of the Commission form
of Government
From Saturday's Dally
Last evening the Pow-Wow of the
Chamber of Commerce, the meeting
which was voted by the members to
be held once a month during the sum
mer season, was staged at the audi
torium of the public library and wi-.s
but very Email in the point of those
attending.
Those who did attend the meeting,
however, had a treat in the excellent
little program that was give-n by the
youngsters that were participating.
I Jean and Billy Knorr. the children
of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Knorr wore
heard in a group of songs very clever
ly given and in which they gave real
jazz effects of the more mature en
tertainers. Joe Horsack. another of
the talented little residents of the
city, gave a group of the uccordian
solos that was very much enjoyec"
and reflected the greatest credit on
the little man.
President Wescott stated that it
had been desired to secure a speaker
that would give the negative side of
the commission form of government
agitation, but had been unable to do
so and asked various members of the
chamber and the audience to give
their views of the question.
In.responce to the request of the
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, brief remarks were made by
H. A. Schneider. J. H. McMaken. Mrs.
Fred Coryell, George Luschinsky. W.
A. Robertson and Rev. H. L. Gr.iss
mueck. all in favor of the proposi
tion, while R. W. Clement, E. H.
Schulhof, C. E. Hartford. W. H. Puis
while favorable to the idea thought
that more information would be nec
essary before a real idea of the work
ing of this form of government could
be reached by the residents here
where the city has been under the
councilmanic form of government
since' its organisation.
H. A. Schneider gave the" best news
of the meeting In the discussion of
the bridge that is planned for the
Missouri river at this point and
stated that if everything progrepsed
as it had been that work would be
possible to get under way this fall
and a great deal of work done this
coming winter on the bridge with the
structure in readiness next year tc
be opened for travel. This was a
piece of information that the com
munity has long been looking for
