Garfield Park
Seems Choice of
Concert Fans
Ballots Cast on Location of Concerts
by Band Favor the Park Lo
cation Two to One -
The question of where to hold the
weekly concerts given by the Elks
hand this season has been before
the residents of the city as there were
several different locations mentioned
for the concert chief anions which
was the court house lawn and Gar
field park.
This was a matter in which the
Chamber of Commerce decided to al
low the general public to determine
and for this reason n ballot was
printed in the Journal for several
days and the citizens urged to make
their choir-, the votes being taken
up and counted this morning on the
iiuestion of band location.
It ws found that the location at
C.arfield park had received thirty
two votes while that of the court
house had received seventeen and
three votes were found that were
not crossed for either location altho
the people casting the votes were
residents of near the park.
Several of the residents of the
nearby farming communities in their
votes were for the park location and
residents in the south part of the
city also favored this location while
others in the northern part of the
town rather preferred the court house
lawn.
This expression was one that left
the proposition up to the people
themselves as the Chamber of Com
merce did not wish to make the lo
cution without some expression from
the public and this vote is an indica
tion of the trend of the sentiment so
it is probable that the next concert
will be at the Garfield park.
FINE MUNICIPAL TENNIS COURT
Two years ago the park board
provided wire netting to be used by
n group of High school boys In the
outfitting of a tennis. court - at the
Tourist park on Washington aven,ue.
"While this place proved very satis
factory hs regards location, it was
hard to maintain on account of dirt
washing down from the banks above
and now that some of the poles used
to support the netting have broken
off. the courts have been little used
so far this year.
Now the park board has secured
consent of Henry Herold to use the
ground on North 5th street, where
lie once maintained a tennis court
for the exclusive use of dwellers In
his apartment houses, and with the
further aid of Manager Jenson, of
the Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph
company, who will provide a suffici
ent number of broken off telephone
polos on which to string the net
ting, and some aid from the fans
themselves, proposes to establish a
line municipal court on the Herold
property, where everyone who likes
to swing a racquet may have oppor
tunity of playing.
The netting formerly used at the
Tourist park and that already up at
the south end of the courts on the
Herold property will be enough to
enclose the ends in fine shape, and
the high ground there should make
it an ideal place tor a court and one
that will never be bothered by floods
and washouts.
Through the generosity of Mr.
Herold and Mr. Jensen the new
courts can be put in shape with the
expenditure of a very meagre sum
from park board funds.

Local People
Have Thrilling
experience
Fred Rabb and Sister, Mrs. Margaret
Rncker, Witness Browning
of Friend, in Omaha.
Fred Rabb, of this city, and his
sister, Mrs. Margaret Rucker, of
1916 South 19th street, Omaha, were
members of a pleasure party of some
sixteen Sunday afternoon and whose
pleasure was marred by the fact that
one of the party was the first Omaha
drowning fatulity of the 1929 sea
son.
Mr. Rabb and his sister and Mr.
and Mrs. Ross Roberts had secured a
row boat and were enjoying the boat
ing on Carter Lake for the afternoon
and while the party were rowing
back to the shore, at a point about
150 feet from Sandy Beach, Roberts
announced to his wife that he was
tired of rowing and would swim on
into the beach. The man dove off
the boat and started to swim under
water and after a short time when he
failed to come to the surface, Mrs.
Roberts and other members of the
party sounded the alarm.
A squad of the Omaha police, aid
ed by lifeguards at Carter Lake and
volunteer workers from among the
bathers along the beach worked for
two and a half hours before the
body of Roberts was finally located
and brought to the surface. Efforts
to revive the man with a pulmotor
were fruitless and the body was
then removed to the undertaking
rooms to await the funeral arrange
ments while the wife, who was pros
trated with the tragedy, was taken
home by the friends.
The unfortunate man was form
erly of Hamburg, Iowa, and was a
son of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Roberts,
of that place. He is survived by the
parents and the wife and one daugh
ter, aged six, by a previous mar
riage. DOINGS IN COUNTY COURT

county court were sidetracked while
the time of Judge Duxbury was
taken up in hearing a complaint
filed against Clifford Schafer and in
which he was asked to be placed
under a peace bond with Henry Jas
per as the complaining witness.
The affair grew out of a dispute
over the possession of a small cabin ,
on the Shopp place, right to which
has been under question between Mr.
Jasper and other parties. Mr. Jasper
placed a lock on the doors and which
brought oil the trouble Saturday on
which the complaint was based.
The evidence of the parties were
taken, that of Mr. Jasper, his father-
in-law and Clifford Cecil for the
complainant and Mr. Schafer him
self for the defense.
After the hearing the court de
cided that the defendant would be
required to furnish a bond for $50
and which was arranged and the
matter settled.

entering against Mr. Schafer over
the disputed cabin was dimisaed by
County Attorney W. G. Kleck.
The defendant in the action was
represented by Attorney J. A. Cap
well. LEAVES FOR SEDALIA

Schmader is
Victor Over
Mick Durane
Joe Roper Wins Decision Over Tuffy
Langford in Bloody Battle
On Great Fight Card
From Tuesday's Dally
The customers at the Eagles box
ing festival last evening had a good
how handed them for their money
and the various events that had been
arranged proved real entertaining
features for the fight fans with
plenty of fighting and hard fought
and bloody contests to mark the var
ious events.
In the main event George Schma
der, 142. of this city, won a well
deserved decision over Mickey Dur
ane, 145, of Omaha, George shading
the Omaha fighter all of the way
through and displaying a cooler and
better ring generalship than in the
first match here several weeks ago
when Durane was the victor.
In the ten round bout Schmader
opened with smashing blows to the
head of Durane and intersperced
these, with some jarring body blows
as the fight progressed and forcing
Durane to clinch all through the
battle to escape the rain of blows
that were shaking him and while
Schmader received some stiff body
punches he was practically unmarked
while Durane was bleeding freely
from punches in the nose that he
received early in the battle.
From the opening round of the
Schmader-Durane go it was evident
that the Plattsmouth boxer was show
ing more skill and judgment in his
blows and with his strength behind
the blows that were tearing through
Durane's guard to the face and head
was giving the Omaha boxer a stiff
punishment. In the last rounds of
the battle Durane attempted to stage
a comeback but his offensive tactics
met with a storm of blows that soon
drove him to clinches to ward off
the smashing rights and lefts to the
face and head. In the last rounds
Schmader showed good boxing form
and was not seriously affected by
the attacks of Durane who seemed
to lack the punch of his previous
bout here and also found greater
force against him in the olows of
Schmader.
The bout was a real event and
showed very strikingly the improve
ment in the ring work of Sclmiader
and his generalship in disposing of
the Omaha boxer effectively.
The semi-windup of eight rounds
between Joe Roper of Omaha, 154,
and "Tuffy" Langford, 147. of North
Platte, was a gory battle and in
which the fans had the opportunity
of seeing a great event and the
colored boy taking a stiff punish
ment in the shower of wicked blows
that Joe rained on the face, with
Tuffy coming back in the last of the
eight round bout to make the going
plenty rough for the Omaha boxer.
Early In the second round stiff
blows delivered with the full steam
of the smashing right of Roper
found lodgment on the face of Lang
ford and who from blows in the
mouth was soon bleeding profusely
and this injury touched repeatedly
during the fight kept the colored
boy a mass of blood. In the fourth
round the punishment that was min
istered to Langford by "Roper seemed
to foreshadow a' knockout and a trip
to dreamland for the colored boy,
but he covered and stayed the round
to come back with renewed vigor in
the fifth and well deserving the
title "Tuffy" as he was able to re
spond to the attacks of Roper with
some stiff punches in the sixth ifcat
ruffled up the map of Roper and
when the ball rang both men were
showing the marks .of the battle. In
the seventh Langford attacked with
many blows that Beemed to tire
Roper to some extent but none of
which seriously threatened the early
lead in the fight that Roper had se
cured and when at the end of the
eighth Harry Reed raised the hand
of the Omaha white boy, it being a
popular decision and well deserved.
An exhibition of gameness was
shown in the six round event be
tween John Smogye, of Omaha, 146,
and Jim Simones, 138, when the
lighter and smaller boxer withstood
a terrific punishment and kept going
till the final bell at the close of the
sixth. Smogye had the advantage
in weight, reach and size over his
opponent and was in little danger
at any stage of the game but in
the course of the fight Simones gave
a fine exhibition of in-fighting and
his short arm punches to the body
of his larger opponent had wearing
effect but Smogye with his reach
was able to smash in to the face
of his opponent and to protect him
self from the attacks of the quick
moving and game opponent. In the
second round of this bout Simones
suffered much from the face blows
but was able to shake off the effects
of the punches to come back with
stiff blows to the body in the third.
At the close of the sixth Referee
Reed raised the hand of Smogye as
the token of his well earned victory.
"Babe" Sailors, 160, Falls City
farmer boy, who has been here a
part of the time assisting in train
ing Schmader, was pitted against
Joe Ban. 152, reputed to be a bad
boxer from Omaha but who was soon
on the receiving end of the hay
makers that the "Babe" was bring
ing up from the floor for telling ef
fect. In the opening of the first round
Ban planted a stiff blow to the mid
riff of Sailors that brought the Falls
City boy to his knees but this was all
there was to tbe event as far as
Ban was concerned as he was kept
on the defensive for the rest of the
first and second round. The third
round of the match saw the last
of Ban as the Falls City boy came
In with a smashing right to the jaw
of Ban who crashed to the canvass
in a real honest to goodness knock
out and it was several minutes be
fore the seconds could revive Ban
sufficinetly to remove him to the
dressing room.
The four round preliminary be
tween Dick March; 14 3. of this city
and Kid Boyer, 143 , of Fort Crook,
was the opener of the bout and in
which the bell cheated March of a
knockout and then gave Boyer a de
cision as March was out on his feet
at the opening of the fourth round.
In the opening of the fight March was
the aggressor and gave a good ex
hibition of boxing and stirred the
many friends of the young Platts
mouth boxer with the hope of vic
tory. In the second March continued
the attack and with a left to the
jaw of Boyer sunk the soldier boy
to the canvass where the count of
nine was reached when the bell
closed the round and saved the
soldier. In the third March showed
the effects of the battle and was un
able to withstand the effects of the
blows of Boyer and with clinches
held on to the Fort Crook boxer un
til the close of the third round. At
the opening of the fourth round
Boyer planted a few stiff blows to
the face of March and who was
groggy and practically ont on his
feet when Referee Reed stopped the
battle and allowed the soldier boy
the technical knockout.
State Boxing Commissioner, Ira
Vorhies, was present at the battle
and was much pleased with the
manner in which the Eagles had
staged their battle and the parti
cipants on the card.
The bout was refereed by Harry
Reed of Lincoln, a well versed and
able fistic arbitor and whose services
help a lot to make any card a good
one as Reed is insistent that the
fighters do their stuff or quit.
The Schmader-Durane bout fea
tured a new inovation in Nebraska
boxing matches in the introduction
of the white leather gloves for the
boxers, these gloves being used in
many of the eastern fights, this be
ing the first time they were tried
out by the boxing commission

ular student at the state university

Will Detour
Auto Travel
While Paving
Highway Traffic Will Be Diverted
Four Miles West of City and
South to Nehawka
While the work of paving highway
No. 75 from the Douglas county line
to Union is in progress the stute
department of public work:s is fac
ing the problem of handling the
traffic with as least inconvenience
as possible .and also to avoid any
delays in the work of paving the
highway which will follow the pres
ent highway through this city and
south to Union.
The state engineers have outlined
the proposed route Tor the detour of
the travel of highway 75 anil which
will be placed in operation as soon
as the paving contracts are let and
work is ready to start.
As the plans are announced high
way No. 75 will start the detour
just at the turn west of Union, in
stead of coming east as at present the
detour will be to the west and
through the town of Nehawka and
thence north to the old blacksmith
corner on the Red Ball highway
west of Murray and here the detour
will run east two and a half miles
to the O. A. Davis corner and thence
north to the Phillip Kehne farm west
of Plattsmouth, the route being laid
as straight as possible. From the
Kehne rlace the road will be run a
quarter of a mile to the Tritsch farm
and thence along the Stander road
to the Platte bottom road where ft
will be run east to connect with the
Platte river bridge. By this plan
the only stretch of the road that
will conflict with the paving travel
will be near Oreapolis to the bridge
as the detour will be taken up on
the north side of the river and it is
thought will be made through La
Platte and Bellevue to Omaha.
The state department of public
works will have from one inch to an
inch and a half of gravel placed on
all parts of the detour not already
graveled and which it is thought Will
help keep the road in shape in all
weather conditions or until .the. pav
ing is completed this fall.
It is also thought that the state
department will be willing to have
the gravel extended east one mile
from the Murray detour into that
town and also from this city to the
detour west of the city.

Truck Overturns
Near the Spangler
Corner Last Nite
Beezley Truck Overturns and In
jures Drivers Stock Rescued
With Much Difficulty
From Tuesday's Dally
Late last night one of the large
trucks belonging to the Willard
Beezley truck line of Syracuse, was
overturned on highway No. 75, near
the intersection of this highway and
the Mynard graveled road.
The truck loaded with cattle was
enroute to Omaha and at the time
was in charge of one of the older
drivers and a new driver who was
making one of his first trips over
the highway and unfamiliar 'with the
road, the more experienced driver
was taking a sleep as the truck came
onto the corner and the younger
driver not being familiar with the
road, instead of making the turn
had started on north until more than
half way across the highway and
then attempted to turn, the result
being that the truck ran into the
bank and the upper part being heav
ily loaded with the stock was turned
over.
As the truck overturned six steers
were thrown out and were caught
by the truck as it settled on Its side
and imprisoned beneath the truck
where they remained for some time.
The cattle were' not rescued until
Rex Young, deputy sheriff, arrived
on the scene and who with the as
sistance of one of the Joyce trucks
from Weeping Water that was pass
ing, was able to rescue the cattle,
they being pulled out one at a time
by means of a chain fastened to the
legs of the animals.
The two men in the cab of the
truck were able to extricate them
selves with the aid of passing auto
ists and they were brought on into
this city by Harry Edminston and
taken to the offices of the Drs. Liv
ingston where their injuries were
dressed. Both men suffered scalp
wounds as well as cuts on the face
and hands and the injuries on the
head required several stitches to
close before the men were able to
return to their homes.
The accident attracted the atten
tion of a great many as soon as the
report of the accident was received
here, it being first reported that the
two men had been killed.
