SCHOOL FOLKS DELAYED From Monday's rallT . The young people from Cedar Creek and west of this city, who attend the Plattsmouth high school, who were home for the week end with the families, were compelled this morn ing to make their journey back to school via the railroad route, the bad roads stopping them getting in by the auto route. As the result of the necessity of making the return jour- nT by rail, the youngsters lost some time of the morning session of school.

On Saturday evening while the members of the Frank Scott family were absent from their home south of this city, some person or persons raided the hen roost and removed some seventy-five chickens, the depre dation not being discovered until the return of the family from town later in the evening. The second place to suffer was the farm home of Philip Hirz, west of Plattsmouth. and where some twenty five ducks that had been on tne farm were taken Saturday night. "The authorities -were notified of the thefts and are working on the case in the hope of hping able to find some trace of the chickens and ducks and restoring them to the lawful' owners or at least Dnnging tne guilty parties to justice. This section has had a lot of these offenses in the past few months and the Schafer farm in Mt.

Burlington & Quincy rail road, which was a short time ago re manded to the district court from the supreme court for retrial, has been wiped off the docket by its dismissal by the plaintiff. A settlement has been reached by Mr. Leiner with the defendant company, although the dismissal filed in the office of the Clerk of the District Court does not give the sums of the settlement. This action grew out of the acci dent on the Oreapolis crossing of the Burlington north of this city on Sun day, August 16th, 1926, and in which the auto driven by C. L. Dietz was struck by the eastbound train of the defendant company. In the ac cident the car was practically demol ished and James Edwards and Elof Johnson of this city killec . wMe Mr. Leiner and Mr- D,?x b?J injured severely.

The Platters played some good team work with Hadraba, veteran forward feeding the ball to McClan ahan for several field goals and also annexing one himself, but the team as a whole lacked the shooting eye necessary and failed on the under basket shots peveral times, that would easily nave siren them "a victory. With the "Dummies" lagging be hind in the final quarter and with but two minutes left to go, Teare. forward, got away from the Piatts- i mouth defense and sank two field goals to give them a point margin and while the Platters made a des perate rally were unable to secure the necessary baskets to give them the victory.

Makes Good Re cord in Liquor Law Enforcement Sheriff's and County Attorney's Of fice Have Record of Se curing Convictions From Wednesdays Daily The citizens of Cass county can feel well pleased that in the enforce ment of the prohibition law their county ranks high and the officers have been untiring in t"heir efforts to make the going hard for the boot legger and vendor of intoxicating liquor in this county and this with the handicap of a territory some twenty miles long and forty miles wide. In the year past in the twenty liquor law violations brought into court by the sheriff and county at torney there is a record of 100 per cent convictions, this constituting a large part of the law violations found in our great old county. So well is the law enforced and the activities of the liquor sellers kept down that special agents recured have. been unabje. to make, anw pur; chases and in this respect the state department has co-operated in fine shape in the field and have had their men here to seek evidence and in the cases found by either special or state men the cases have been pro secuted vigorously by the county authorities. This is in marked difference to many of the counties where the saie of liquor is the matter almost of common knowledge, but here the of ficers are on the job each day in checking these activities when they may be located. In addition to the demands of this law which takes much of the time of the sheriff's office there has been carried on thorough investigations of crimes of all character and vigorous prosecutions made of the law vio lators. With the furor that has arisen in so many of the counties and cities it is pleasing indeed to know that this community is kept so well in line in law observance and speaks well for the splendid character of the people in all sections of the coun ty- FILES SUIT IN EQUITY From Wednesday's Dally This mnrnine in the district court was filed an action in equity in which it two cases are entered, one Dein? umi f riertrnrle Amelia Dill vs. Jennie E.

Jen kins, who died In 1901 and left a number of heirs among them the plaintiffs and the defendant, the widow of the deceased. That on the request of the defendant that the plaintiffs signed the agreement to sell real estate of the deceased father which was sold to William O. Troop for the sum of $19,200. that the de fendant has not paid to the plaintiffs their nne-ninth share of the estate. It is asked that the defendant be re quired to make report and account ing of the estate and that the one ninth interest of the two plaintiffs in the action be adjudicated and al lowed to them as heirs of their de ceased father. AIDING MUSICAL WOEK The Women music department of the Plattsmouth Woman's club are starting a campaign that is taken up in an effort to aid in the develop ment of the musical talent in the community and especially to give all pupils of the music teachers in voice, piano, wind or string instruments an opportunity to be heard and to aid the teachers in the fullest develop ment of the students. This" progrem will cover a number of recitals and concerts showing all classes of musical offerings and the first of these will be presented on Thursday evening at the public li brary auditorium. , The .general public is urged to get out and enjoy these concerts and to encourage by their presence the young people who are taking up musical work. Old Time Church to Become Com munity Center which it has stood for more than forty-two years as a sentinel among its people. This is the Lewiston church, lo cated south and east of Murray and some ten miles south of Plattsmouth, which after mauy years is to become active as an association known as the le wiston Community Center, is to take over th church building and operate it in the future. This church was built in 18S7 and was at the commencement of Its career a house of the Methodist de nomination but long ago the active founders of the church have passed away and in late years the church has been little used as a house of worship, save occasionally by pastors from Murray or Plattsmouth who might come to hold a service, altho many funeral services have been held there as the church adjoins the pio neer Lewiston cemetery. An action was finally started to have the church property vested in the Nebraska conference of the Meth odist church and the steps taken to dispose of the building and the cost of a pastor and active church organ ization there was too great for the church to maintain. The final disposition of the church building was in doubt for some time but in the formation of the Lewis ton Community Center association this seems to have been settled. The new association this week elected the officers who are as fol lows: President Mrs. Albert Young. .Vice-President II. L. Gayer. Sec. Trea's. Miss Margaret Moore. Trustees O. A. Davis. John Hob pcheidt, Karl Wolf. It is the purpose, it is stated of maintaining the church building as a community center where religious worship, meeting of the clubs and organizations of the community may be held and to serve as a greneraL headquarters of this very live and active neighborhood. , Old Lewiston is a spot dear to the hearts of many of the residents of this part of the state and one of the pioneer communities of the state and where also dwell many of the de scendants of the first settlers of Cass county and the building that early residents built will continue to re main a mark of the life of this splen did neighborhood and a gathering place of the descendents of the trail blazers of early days in this part of the great west. For many years the ladies of the Lewiston neighborhood held an an- !nual Thanksgiving dinner at Lewis jton that was attended by residents ;from all this part of the county and this pear the ladies are planning on again swinging open the doors of the community house, to the friends to gather around the festal board.

In the past year his health has been failing very rapidly and his condi tion become such that it was found necessary to have him removed to the hospital for treatment and care. .Whether the patient will have to .undergo an operation or not has not been learned.
