gram and Enjoyed by Large
Enthusiastic Crowd
From Thursday s rally
Last evening at Garfield park the
I-.' niiiK band concut of the season
was given by the Elks band before
a very enthusiastic and appreciative
amii nee who enjoyed the concert
in the park very much. The concert
- as- much nmt e pleasant for the band
as it eliminated much of the noise
that r.iark the traffic during; the
downtown concerts.
The program was a popular one
u:h a wU arranged group of the
standard selections as well as the
s..::ir and dance li its of the day that
had l.ff-n prepared by Director Holly
niiJ the band boys.
Two of the old time standard
b-ct ions that never grow old in
ih- appreciation of the music lovers
vic on the program, the nieledy
fr m "The Superba" by Dalbey, as
well as the well loved group of the
southern plantation songs arranged
by I.anipe. The dreamy and allur
ing reverie of Keithley, "When
Shadows Fall' also added its part
to the charm and beauty of the pro
gram. In the present day song and dance
liits presented by the band were "I
Ain't Cot Nobody Much," "Me and
tbe Man in the Moon" and "Where
the Shy Little Violets Grow."
The march numbers used in the
opening and closing of the concert
program were "The Wallabies" by
l.ithgow and "Barnum & Bailey's
Favoriate" by King.
The concert last evening was pre
sented by the band in compliment
to the business men and citizens who
have been active in promoting the
concerts for the past two seasons
and who are boosters' for the 1929
series of concerts.
The location of the concerts for
the season have not been determined
and will be left largely to the wishes
cf the music lovers of the community
a-- to whether or not they wish them
presented in the park, on the court
house lawn, the different blocks
along Main street or to have them
rotated from one location to an
other. H0N0BED BY ALUMNI

Missouri River
is Still Showing
Flood Height
Eaise of Three Inches Last Night
and Even Further Eaise Look
ed For in Stream
From Friday's Dally
The Missouri river is now In the
midst of the annual June raise which
is bringing down from the head
waters of the mighty stream the
waters from the melting snows of
the far western mountain country as
well as the large excess rainfall of
the past few weeks that have swol
len the smaller streams that empty
into the great western river.
This morning the river showed
an increase of three inches over that
of yesterday and the waters of the
stream have commenced to spread
over the lower parts of the river
bottoms east of this city and a portion
of the land on the Adolph Geise
farm east and south of the ball park
is covered with several inches of
the flood waters of the river.
The river as yet has not reached
the full height of the raise accord
ing to the old time rivermen and
those who have watched through
the passing of the years the action of
the stream. "William Grebe, well
known fisherman, who has been ac
tive on the river for many years is
of the opinion that a raise of sev
eral feet may be looked forward to
before the crest of the raise passes
this point and the waters subside
into the usual placid stream.
The regular raise is augmented by
the result of heavy and continuous
rains in the west and through the
the Missouri valley which have
brought from the smaller rivers and
creeks a much larger volume of wa
ter than usual to be carried away by
the Missouri to the Mississippi and
thence to the Gulf of Mexico.
As the result of the raise the work
on the traffic bridge over the Mis
souri here is at a standstill as the
high water makes it useless to at
tempt to try and finish the pier work
on the bridge until after the flood
tide is passed and the stream again
gets back to normal condition and
which may mean several weeks of
delay with the unusual volume of
water that is expected this year to
mark the June raise.
AFFIRMS FAILING CASE
The state supreme court has Just
rendered its opinion by Commissioner
Davis, affirming the judgment of the
district court of Cass county in the
case of the Farmers State bank of
Greenwood vs. Maggie Pailing, which
was tried here in December 1927
and a verdict rendered by the jury
finding for the defendant, Mrs. Pail
ing. The action was one brought by
the bank for the collection of a
note which with the interest aggre
gated the sum of $4,100, the note
having been made by the defendant
in 1925 in favor of the Farmers State
bank of Greenwood. The defense of
Mrs. Maggie Paling, was that the
note had been an accommodation
made for the bank and for which the
defendant had received no value in
return.
The court in its decision held that
the jury and Judge Begley were cor
rect in their findings and rulings in
the case and that the defendant was
not obligated for the note.
Since the trial of the case here
the defendant, Mrs. Palling, has de
ceased, and the findings of the court
will favor her estate.
In the trial of the caBe the de
fendant was represented by Attor
ney D. 0. Dwyer of this citj.

La Porte, Ind. In tbe spring of 1S79
and established the Boss Clothing
Store. He is known as the pioneer
in Eastern Nebraska of the one price
system of selling clothing and adopt
ed as his motto "One Price and No
Monkey Business," which has been
the motto of the concern through
the fifty years of its existence.
Mr. Wescott operated the business
alone until the year 1894 when the
eldest son, C. C. Wescott, was taKen
into the firm, the style of the firm
then being C. E. Wescott and Son.
The next change was made in 1901
when the younger son, E. H. Wes
cott, became a member of the firm, to
be then known as C. E. Wescott and
Sons. This style of partnership con
tinued until 1906 when the founder
C. E. Wescott retired and turned the
business over to the two sons, under
the, firm name of C. E. Wescotts
Sons, under which title the concern
has done business up to this time.

fendant with having on the 7th day
of May sold liquor to William Lau,
a resident of the central part of the
county, was continued over for a
twenty- day period on the motion
of the state.
The continuance was made neces
sary by the fact that William Lau.
who is alleged to have bought the
liquor from Earls, is confined to his
home with an attack of the measles,
which fact was not made known to
County Attorney W. G. Kieck until
this morning when the case opened
for trial, when an affiidavit from
Dr. Wortman of Louisville was re

complaining witness was unable to
leave his home.
In the preliminary hearing here
in the case of Mr. Earls had entered
a plea of not guilty to the charges
preferred by the state and demand
ing a jury trial which was granted

GETTING BEADY FOB SEASON
From Thursdny's Dally
The prospects for a baseball team
for the city this season is growing
much brighter as a number of the
members of the team of last year
are getting busy on their proctice
and getting in shape for the play
ing season if the weather will ever
permit the staging of a game in this
part of the west.
The team practiced last night and
this evening will again practice at
6 o'clock at the park east of the
Burlington station and have the
hopes of having the larger part of
the season's team ready to get into
the playing as soon as they have a
few workouts.
Hilt Martin, who has been lining

ready with teams in this locality and
it is expected to have the first game

Eagles to Give
Fine Card of
Boxing Soon
Boxing Carnival Will Be Held on
Monday,. June 17th at the
Legion Building
The locil aerie of the Fraternal
Order of Katies will present t'n-ir
second boxing card on Monday even
ing. June 17f'i at the American Le
gion community building in this
city, the final arrangements having
been completed by the committee
and the card announced.
In the main ten-round bout of the
evening. George Schmader of this
city, who made such a strong show
ing against Mickey Iiurane of Oma
ha, at their previous meeting, will
be the headliner. These two 145
pound boys pack a nasty punch and
they will furnish plenty of fight for
the fans as Durane is defending his
record of a previous victory here and
Schmader is endeavoring to carry off
the victory for the benefit of the
home folks. Their previous fight
was one of the best seen in this part
of the state and this fight will be
even a warmer one.
The semi-v.indup will be a eight
round battle between Joe Roper, who
is one of the classiest members of
the mit fraternity in Omaha and who
will have as his opponent in the
battle "Kid" Langford, a fast color
ed boy of Omaha, who has made a
good showing in his previous bouts
and weighs 15a while Joe is tipping
the scales at 157. Those' who are
in on "the know" figure that the
colored boy will give Joe a real
battle.
In the six round feature of the
card the fans will have the chance
to see two of the boys out state
trade wallops as Lou Mosher, 14 5,
of Lincoln, will be pitted against
Young Secord of Nebraska City, also
a 145 pounder, the two boys being
reputed as well matched and able
to give the fans their money's worth
of blows.
In one of the four round battles
of the card Plattsmouth's clever
young boxer, Dick March, will be
placed to go against "Kid" Bird
sail, one of the clever young mitt
slingers of Omaha. Dick has
looked good in his workouts and
should be a valuable addition to the
fighting stable here in this city and
add much interest to the forthcom
ing card in his bout with the Omaha
boxer. Dick will weigh 14 5 while his
opponent will tip in at 143.
In the second of the four round
events "Babe" Sailors of Falls City,
who has been here assisting in the
workouts of Schmader, will be fea
tured, the committee having not as
yet secured an opponent for this
I(j0 pound boxer, but will have a
worthy foe for the Falls City boy.
The Eagles gave a real boxing
carnival at their April card and will
have as attractive a line up of fight
ers for the coming boxing exhib
itions and which should receive the
cordial upport of the fight fans who
enjoy seeing the exhibitions of the
fistic art given by some of the clever
est exponents in the state.
The ticket sale for the big event
will soon be on and the former scale
cf prices of $1:50 for the ringside
and $1 general admission will be
charged. The seat sale will be at
the Peterson recreation parlors.

Graveling Pro
gram in Precinct
to he Enlarged
Will Extend West From This City
On Cedar Creek Boad to
the Precinct Line
A new petition of th property
owners of I'lattsinoutli orecinct has
be n filed in th- oflice of tb county
clerk which it is though will rover
more thoroughly the demands as to
graveling in the precinct and over
'oni-' objections that w r- offered
to the icinier petition as to the ex
tent cf the graveling.
The new petition carries th pav
ing taither west on the Cedar Creek
road to the IMattKinouth precinct
west line and thence south to con
nect with the Eight Mile drove
gravel on The Louisville ro?d.
The petition otherwise is similar
in its purpose to that previously
filed and which covers the graveling
of the Mynard road west to the pre
cinct line, the road fro?n No. 75
just south of this city east to the
Rock Eluff highway and thence
south to the precinct line of the
Rock Bluff highway. The amount of
the levy asked to be made is three
mills for a one year period to cover
the cost of the graveling.
The Plattsmouth Chamber of
Commerce in March agreed to aid
in the work if the levy was insuf
ficient in the amount of $2,250 which
was to be applied for by the county
if needed in the work of extending
the beneficent effect of the gn.vel
in the precinct.
Th former petition was remon
strated against by resident? of the
precinct and the action of the cam
missioners recinded at their meeting
this week in allowing the petition,
but with the present petition there
is an increased number of signers
and covering more of the territory
west it is expected to be passed and
the gravel program carried on with
out protest.
HAVE A CLOSE CALL
From Friday Dariy
Yesterday afternon James M. Rob
ertson, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam A. Robertson and a companion,
Francis Stoll. had a very close call
from death when they were overcome
by gas at the Robertson home and
for several hours were unconscious
from the effects of the gas.
The two boys were playing around
the Robertson home with the other
children and had occasion to light
the gas heater in the basement to
warm some water, and sometime dur
ing the course of the afternoon the
gas had evidently popped out with
out the boys noticing it and while
they were engaged in playing and
gradually they were overcome by
gas.
The condition of the two cider
boys was discovered by Billy, the
younger son of the Robertson fam
ily, who attempted to arouse the boys
and his cries attracted Mrs. Hern. an
Hough, who hastened to the home
and found the two older boys lying
on the floor of the basement uncon
scious and at first thought lifeless.
Dr. R. P. Westover. uncle of Janes
Robertson, was tailed to the scene
and the two boys removed from the
gas filled basement and given treat
mbent and it was not until a most
strenuous treatment that they were
revived some two hours later.
The boys are both quite sick from
the effects of the gassing and that
they are alive is due to the fact that
Mrs. Hough discovered their plight,
as a few moments more would have
been very serious to them
The children were alone at the
time a? the parents were absent
from home and were unaware of the
danger that the boys had been
through until later when they were
called home.
