Eagles to be
Back of Athletic
Club in City
Plans to Make This a Great Success
and to Aid in Developing
Clean Cut Sport.
At last Plattsmouth is to have an
athletic club. Such an organization
has been in the minds of the fans
for a number of years, but until
now, it has been only a dream. From
the interest shown at the boxing ex
hibition, sponsored by the Eagles a
few evenings ago, and the many re
quests of the fans for more and great
er sports events in the future, the
Plattsmouth aerie, F. O. E. has very
fortunately secured the services of
Mr. Edward Brantner, manager of
the Hotel Perkins, and a man of
wide experience in the boxing game,
to manage this new organization, and
manage and train the local boxers for
the revival of clean athletics in this
locality.
This new organization will be made
up of physically fit, and those desir
ing to become physically developed,
Eagles of Plattsmouth and the sur
rounding territory men who are in
terested in, and exponents of, clean,
wholesome athletics, and will be
known as the Eagles Athletic club.
Membership in this club is limited
to Eagle members only. This does not
mean that every Eagle is automat
ically a member of the athletic club,
but every Eagle is entitled to become
a member if he so desires and will
obey the rules set forth by the or
ganization through the manager, Mr.
Brantner.
There have been numerous plans
laid for the formation of similar clubs
in the past. Membership in a private
club would cost from $3 to $5 en
rollment fee and ?3 per month dues
to cover heat, lights, apparatus, etc..
which would amount to approximate
ly S40 the first year and $36 per
year as long as a member stayed in,
or plainly speaking, more cash than
most of those interested would care
to invest. Under the Eagles plan.
membership in tfc-e crab will cost $6
initiation fee, ?1 for a physical exam
inationand $1 a month dues a total
of $18 the first year, and only $1
per month thereafter, as long as the
member belongs. Besides the above
membership in the club, the member
will be entitled to the free use of
the aerie physician, as limited in the
aerie by-laws; to the sick benefit of
$1 per day as provisioned in said
by-laws; to the $100 death benefit)
payable to the beneficiary of a de
ceased member; to the use of the
aerie club rooms; and to all func
tions and entertainments given with
in the aerie, besides the association
and fellowship of the brother mem
bers. The idea is to make member
ship possible, not only to the well-to-do,
but to all who are interested
in clean sports. Nothing but clean
sportsmanship will be tolerated, and
anyone desirous of any "rough stuff"
will find It to his advantage to Join
some organization which allows such
activities to go on. Manager Brant
ner has trained many professional
boxers who are now, and have been,
at the top of boxing circles in their
weight class, and he does not waste
time with anyone who does not show
keen Interestin athletics. He has
made men good, he can make men
good, and he will make them good
in thiB new club. If they'll pay close
attention to his training courses. A
fine showing of the better amateurs in
and around Plattsmouth have already
expressed their desires to take this
training Manager Brantner has out
lined. You may be qualified to make
a name for your self in one sport or
another here is one way you can
find .out. This club, if the interest
is shown, warrants such procedure,
will Include baseball, basketball,
tennis, wrestling, bowling, and other
of the various forms of athletics.
Everyone can do something what
can you do? .
The first meeting of the athletic
club will be held Tuesday evening.
January 29th at 8 o'clock at the Eagle
hall. Everyinterested Eagle in good
standing is urged to be in attendance.
Positively no one but Eagles will
be admitted. Any none-Eagle de
sirous of becoming a member of this
club, may find out from any Eagle
how he can do so. If interested, now
is the time to act start wtih the
first class to qualify.
This club is available to residents
of the surrounding towns and rural
districts within the scope of the
Plattsmouth aerie's jurisdiction. If

paper, subscribe now, or arrange for
its delivery, to keep posted on this

Farm Home at
Cedar Creek is
Burned Today
Residence of Lloyd Schneider and
Family Burned to Ground
Mr. Schneider Burned.
From Wednesday's Dally
The residence on the farm of Lloyd
Schneider, Just at the west outskirts
of the town of Cedar Creek, was
burned to the ground this morning
at 9:30 and of the household effects
but a sewing machine and cedar chest
were saved from the burning build
ing. Mr. Schneider was quite badly
burned about the face and hands as
he rushed into the kitchen where the
fire was first noticed in an effort to
extinguish the flames and while Mr.
Schneider is suffering a great deal
from the effects of the burns they
are not thought dangerous by Dr.
Worthman of Louisville, who was
called to dress the injuries.
The family was at home when the
fire was first discovered, Mrs. Schnei
der going to the kitchen and open
ing the door found the room a roar
ing furnace with the flames leaping
to the celling and spreading into
all parts of the two Btory frame
structure.
The cries of Mrs. Schneider
brought the husband and who tried
in vain to check the fire and received
the very bad burns on the face and
hands and his cap was almost burn
ed off his head before the other
members of the family were able to
pull him from the burning house and
in the intense cold he suffered agonies
from the burns until a physician ar
rived to look after his care.
The blaze spread so rapidly that
the residents of Cedar Creek who
gathered hurriedly could do but lit
tle to save the house or any of the
contents of the building, altho a des
perate battle was given by the volun
teer fire fighters who had responded
on seeing the house in flames.
The exact cause of the fire is un
known as it had gained such head
way when discovered that it was Im
possible to fully determine where
the blaze started, but it is thought
it was caused by the chimney used
for the kitchen stove.
The house was entirely frame and
burned very rapidly in the cold wind
and it was but a short time from
the discovery when the building was
a mass of smoking ruins.
The members of the family were
taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
William Schneider, parents of Lloyd
Schneider, where they are being
cared for.
The amount of the loss or the in
surance on the house could not be as
certained as Mr. Schneider was suf
fering so much that he was unable to
give any statement.

which was a work of art and covered
the committee with real glory.
Mr. Gamer had arranged the
"radio" hookup with the use of a
public speaking system that made the
program clear and In this feature
Mr. Gamer has the warm apprecia
tion of the Rotarians and the Anns
for his efforts and so cleverly was
the stunt carried out that It was not
until the close that it was discovered
that the committee were not broad
casting from WOW as had been an
nounced. Mr. Robertson was at his best as
the "announcer" and no Rotarian or
Ann escaped the barrage of wit and
humor that the "announcer" made
in his dedications to the varloua
member9 of the dinner party. ThPe
in attendance were unanimous in
voting Mr. Robertson a worthy sec
ond to Will Rogers excepting that
the local man did not use the rope
act.
Rev. II. G. McCluky in keping
with the dignity of the oceaion gave
'a very fine talk on "The Spirit of
Rotary," comparing his first under
standing of rotary r.s that of the
rotating snow plow and from which
he drew the picture of the Interna
tional Rotary which diepelled the ob
structions that exist in the way of
better understanding in business and
by the intercourse through the meet
ings of Rotary were able to smooth
out the path of the members and to
make the communities and the na
tions on a better plane of under
standing.
j The "Radio" operators also pre
jsented musical numbers during the
(evening that added to the interest of
the program and which aided in the
putting over of the radio stunt in fine
shape. These numbers were dedi
cated to the various members of the
dinner party by Mr. Robertson.
