000 as Shown by Precinct

The abstract of the assessment of
Cass county for the year 1929 has
just been completed by County As
sessor W. II. Puis and the return
made to the state board of equali
zation and assessment at Lincoln and
shows some very interesting facts.
One of the matters that has shown
the largest gain is that of intang
ibles which County Assessor I'uls
states has shown an increase of over
.".OOO.O0U from last year as many
items have been reported that were
not taken in under the old law. The
bank deposits returned totaled $2,
049.464. with money reported at
f2H7,i4fi and savings accounts of
$.'H'9,790. In the stocks and bonds
section of the intangible property
the.-e is reported $96,r,07 in shares
of corporation stock not assessed or
taxed in this state, building and
loan shares of S4G.695 and notes not
secured by real estate mortgages of
$56$, 735 and book acounts and open
accounts of S1S7.7S7. The total of
money items is $2,7S1.172 and in
stock, bonds and accounts, fl,31S,
712. The total of cattle reported is 21,
057 while the horses in the county
lister, number 8,409 and 1,677 head
of mules.
The assessors report discloses that
there were 24.CS6 head of hogs in
the county that were returned to the
precinct assessors while the sheep
and goats listed numbered 2,031.
The poultry of the county was listed
at 10.373.

1.597.331 bushels of field corn and
59.310 bushels of wheat. 1.540 bus
hels of rye and 1,911 tons of hay
on the farms of the county.
The schedule of the returns shows
that the residents of the county are
well supplied with autos and trucks
as 4.370 are returned and these do
no include the cars or trucks that,
were secured after the first of April.
In the line of farm machinery re
turned there were 501 tractors re
ported and 174 threshing outfits and
combines.
The march of time shows in the
fact that but four bicycles were re
ported to the assessors and marks
the rapid decline of this once popu
lar sport of cycling or else someone
failed to list their wheels. On the
other hand there were three aero
planes listed as being owned in the
county.
The pianos that were reported
numbered 1,362 and organs 82 while
phonographs and other mechanical
musical instruments numbered 302.
The printing interests of the coun
ty listed eight type setting machines
in the several shops of the county,
while the motion picture houses of
the county listed five of these ma
chines. The total number of taxpayers re
turning schedules numbered 5,834
for the entire county.

of the county shiw 3bl,443 acres of

$3S.59S.0S0 while the city lots re
ported are 12,493 and valued at $4,
722.510. GAVE A FINE CONCERT

Farmer Stuck Up and Robbed With
in Half a Block of Band Con
cert Robber Escapes
From Thursday's Tany
Last night within a half block of
the scene of the weekly concert of
the Elks band occurred the first hold
up or highway robbery In many,
many months when some unknown
man stuck up a resident of near this
city and relieved him of $2.45 and
made his escape. The robber stated
that he was hungry and needed the
money.
The robbery occurred on Third
street between the Hartford coal of
fice and the I. O. O. F. building and
as reported by the police, the strang
er came up to one of the residents of
near this city and getting1 in close
produced a gun and gave the com
mand to "stick 'em up."
The victim of the robbery com
plied with the request of the stranger
and produced $2.45 in change which
the robber pocketed and after a
warning to keep quiet, the holdup
man turned and disappeared In the
direction of the Burlington station.
The victim of the holdup at once
came on up to the vicinity of the
band concert and finding Officer Dave
Pickrel reported the matter and a
search for the robber was under
taken, the police searching through
the railroad yards and in the vicin
ity of lower Main street in an effort
to locate the party but which was
without success and the robber made
his getaway.
A telephone message was received
by the police later in the evening
from the Missouri river ferry that
some man was observed about 10
o'clock passing the ferry landing: in
a skiff, the man lying down in the
boat as it came opposite the ferry

Gentlemen:
Whereas it is reported there is to
be a highway to the new Missouri

And Whereas this Hill was made
a historic spot in the annuals of Ne
braska History and American His
tory when an American flag made
by pioneer women of Plattsmouth
was presented to Company "A of
the First Nebraska, whose Captain
was Robert Ramsey Livingston of
Plattsmouth who performed distin
guished service in the Civil War, and
during the years following was so
highly honored and respected as a
citizen of Plattsmouth
And Whereas his son Henry Guy
Livingston gave his life in the service
of his country in the Spanish Amer- ,
lean War
And Whereas this pioneer family
has contributed to this community
and surrounding territory the serv
ices of four, family physicians of a
type that is now rapidly passing
away, their lives having been de
voted to the relief of suffering, name
ly
Dr. Robert Ramsey Livingston Sr.,
Dr. Theodore Philip Livingston

Therefore be it resolved that The

GRAVEL PROJECT ASSURED
It now seems a certainty that the
three miles of road leading north
from Nehawka to the Murdock cor
ner will receive a three-Inch coat of
gravel in the near future. One inch
will .be put on by the state and the
remainder of the expense will be
shared equally by the county commis
sioners and the people along the road
and others donating in town. G. A.
Murdock was busy with a petition
the first of the week to raise funds
for this purpose and the last time we
received a report, only a small
amount was needed to Insure the pro
ject. A number living north of this cor
ner are In hopes the three Inch gravel
can be extended further and they
are working with this Idea In mind.
It would be a splendid thing if the
project could be extended to the Red
Ball' highway out of Murray and
many in this community would like
to see It accomplished. Nehawka
Enterprise.
CHANGE IN BUS SCHEDULE
Clarence Cotner, of the Cotner
Bus line, which operates between
this city and Omaha, is announcing
a slight change in the running time
of the afternoon bus from Omaha to
this city. The bus at the present
time leaves the Union Bus station at
16th and Jackson streets, at 2:30
p. m., but effective Monday, July
22nd, the time of leaving Omaha will
be at 4 o'clock. Otherwise the sched
ule will remain as it is at the pres
ent time.
The change in time will be more
convenient to the Plattsmouth peo
ple who may be in Omaha and de
sire to reach home in time for the
evening meal.
Natural Gas
Lines May Pass
Thru This City
Oklahoma Interests that are Plan
ning Line from Gas Fields to
Iowa May Cross Here.
This section of the state has long
been questioning the matter of hav
ing a natural gas line extended from
the Oklahoma gas fields to this part
of the west and this matter was
checked by the turndown of the prop
osition by Omaha and since that
time the matter has been dormant
until recently.
Now, the large gas interests of
the southwest are planning on ex
tending their lines to the north, with
Des Moines, Iowa, as one of the larg
er cities on their route and this is
followed by the general opinion of
the gas men that the line would
probably come north through Kansas
and eastern Nebraska and with the
pipe line crossing the Missouri river
at either Plattsmouth or Nebraska
City.
It has been urged that the exten
sion of the natural gas line into the
smaller cities of Nebraska would al
low the securing of this cheaper fuel
for manufacturing purposes and this
was one feature of the proposition
that was so strongly urged in. the
Omaha effort to secure the gas line
there.
This city has been fortunate that
It has already a gas plant operated
by the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power
company, and which has served the
residents here in fine shape for years
and given the Plattsmouth people
an advantage that all of the smaller
cities do not possess.
In the event of the natural gas
line being placed through this city,
it is probable that the local plant
would be secured and the natural
gas handled through the present
gas mains.

Elmwood Men
Injured When
Car Overturns
George Bogenreif and Marion Mor
gan Are Victims of Wreck Near
La Platte Last Night
From Friday's Dally
George Bogenreif. well known
resident of Elmwood and Marion
Morgan of that place, narrowly es
caped very severe injuries or death
last night shortly after 11 o'clock
when the Buick car in which they
were driving was overturned several
times on the highway at La Platte.
The two men were en route home
and Mr. Morgan was driving the
car and as he was not familiar with
the road was on the curve just where
the slight hill leads to the railroad
crossings at La Platte, a car having
preceded him and which had raised
considerable dust that obscured the
vision of the driver, which with the
lack of knowledge of the highway
caused the accident. The car, in
stead of making the turn, hurled
on across the road and struck a road
sign and was turned over several
times, the two men being caught in
the wrecked car.
Fortunately for both Mr. Bogenreif
and Mr. Morgan, the car was lodged
across a small ditch and which en
abled Mr. Morgan to crawl out and
assist his companion, who was bleed
ing in a terrible manner, from the
wreck. The men had to remain
helpless and partially dazed from the
effects of the accident, sitting along
the highway until Clarence Cotner
came along with his southbound
bus and who stopped to render what
aid was possible and brought the two
injured men onto this city.
Mr. Bogenreif was bleeding from
many cuts that rendered his face,
head arms and hands a mass of blood
and dirt and made his condition
seem even more dangerous than it
really was, and reaching here he
was taken to the office of Dr. E. J.
Gillespie where his injuries were
cared for and some twenty-one
stitches required to close the various
cuts. The injured man suffered, deep
cuts Just over each eye and several
smaller cuts over the head whil?
large and deep cuts on the arms hao
caused the loss of a great deal oZ
blood and rendered the patient very
weak when he was finally taken f
a surgeon.
Mr. Morgan suffered from a severe
sprain of the right shoulder caus?d
when the car overturned and caught
him beneath the steering wheel.
The car was practically demolish
ed and was left straddling the ditch
with the wheels up in the air and
it required some work on the part
of the wrecking crew in charge of
Frank Krejci to get the car on into
this city and where it will be re
paiied if possible.
The dressing of the injuries re
quired some little time al af'.rr it
was completed the two asen weie
taken on to their home at OmwroJ
by Sheriff Bert Reed, an old Iiieni
and who had been notified at the
request of Mr. Bogenreif.
BARGAIN DAY GOOD
From Thursday's Dstly
The merchants of the city who
participated in the Dollar Day special
sales offering yesterday in this city
found that the day was one of the
best that has been staged for sev
eral months and the offerings of the
large array of real buying oppor
tunities found a very ready response
from the residents of the city and
the surrounding territory, altho the
necessity of the farmers being kept
closely at work served to keep many
from getting in until the evening.
The offers made by the merchants
covered all lines and gave the oppor
tunity to the careful shoppers to add
to the family budget on the savings
made with the days bargains.
The advantage of the bargains
was added to by the fact that the
shoppers were able to personally in
spect the goods purchased and to
know that they were sold by reput
able business houses whose owners
stood back of their offers and were
ready to see that their patrons re
ceived their full money's worth.
That the buying public is making
a study of where they can secure the
best prices and offers, was shown
by the fact that the shoppers were
busy in calling for the articles that
were advertised in the Journal and
many were carrying the paper with
them to remind them of where they
could secure the articles that they
might wish or need.
RECEIVES SAD NEWS
From Saturday's Dairy
Thq message was received here
this morning by relatives announc
ing the death yesterday at Los
Angeles of- Tom Froggatt, husband

great shock to the relatives here and
came as Mr. Froggatt was undergo
ing an operation for appendicitis
with which he was suddenly taken.
The condition of the patient made
the operation necessary at once and
the patient failed to rally from the
ordeal. The deceased is survived by
the wife and a number of relatives
residing in California.

Burglars Pay
a Visit to the

Strange Man Discovered Searching
House Last Evening But Noth
ing of Value Taken
From Friday's Daily
Last night at 1 o'clock Officers
Pickrel and Hadraba were called to
the home of Fred Lugsch on Pearl
street where a burglar was reported
as ransacking the house but the
man evidently alarmed made his es
cape before the officers reached the
scene, the burglar having become
aware apparently of the fact that
the household had been aroused by
his prowling.
Mr. and Mrs. Lugsch had retired to
their apartments on the second floor
of the home about 12:30, having re
turned from a bridge party and had
only retired a very short time when
Mrs. Lugsch aroused her husband
with the statement that someone
was prowling around the main floor
of the house and Mr. Lugsch came
to the hall on the upper floor and
could see the man moving about
through the rooms and with a flash
light searching around the house.
Mr. Lugsch called to George Hild,
a neighbor who resides in the resi
dence just east of the Lugsch home,
and who called . the police, but by
this time the prowler decided to make
a fade out from the scene.
The family were unable to dis
cover anything of value missing
from the house and the burglar had
overlooked a small amount of money
that Mrs. Lugsch had left lying on
a dresser as well as the pocketbook
of Mr. Lugsch which he had left in
his trousers pocket and left these
lying on a chair on the lower floor
of the house.
The entrance to the house was
secured through the garage and
thence into the furnace room and up
the cellar stairs to the main floor of
the house where the burglar had
zeen prowling.
