and placing of guard rail to be plac

Sheriffs Force
Has Busy Night
with Many Alarms
Residents of Near Hurray and Ne-
hawka Have Alarms as to
Chicken Thieves
From Tuaaday'a raUy
Sheriff Bert Reed and Deputy
Sheriff Rex Young were kept on the
highways the greater part of the
time from 10 o'clock laBt night to 4
this morning by reports from var
ious localities near Nehawka and
Murray, of supposed chicken thieves.
The sheriff and deputy visited the
various places from which the alarm
had been sent but the residents who
had had their roosts alarmed by some
night raiders, and In each case for
tunately the would be robbers were
scared away before they could com
mit any depredations or get away
with any of the chickens. -
In a number of cases the chicken
owners had prepared for the occa
sion with loaded shotguns and were
ready to give the- man ,or men that
attempted to steal-. thlr-chickens . a
reception that they would long re
member and' which would probably
necessitate the services of a surgeon
to pick out shot.
NEW PAVING VERY SMOOTH
from Monday Dany -
A large number from this vicinity
drove down to Murray yesterday to
view paving operations on highway
No. 75, but were disappointed in
asmuch as the paving gang did not
work, as they were caught up to the
graders and had to wait on them to
get the roadway ready. This is the
first Sunday of good weather since
work was begun that the paving
gang has failed, to work. They are
on the Job today, however, complet
ing the stretch to the Murray corner
and will then move their machinery
a couple of miles north and work
back south from that point, continu
ing to make Murray their unloading
base.
The paving is open to travel from
a point two miles south of the Mur
ray corner on south to the Union cor
ner and a number drove over it yes
terday, finding it very smooth and
free from waves or bumps, even at a
high rate of speed. Graders are at
work along the south end, throwing
up the six-foot dirt shoulders on each
side of the road and getting it ready
for the guardrail along the numerous
fills. The hills have been cut down
and some places fills of 18 to 20 feet
made, giving the new road only
slight dips. Just south of the Mur
ray corner, where paving is being
done today, the roadway is almost
on a level with the telephone lines.
howlng the way the hills have been
cut down and the low places graded
up. A slight curb is added to the
paving on the hills and other places
where there is danger of washing out
the dirt shoulders unless the water
is retined until it reaches a box cul
vert to get away without damage.
It will take at least two months to
bring the pavement on into Platts
mouth from the south and It is doubt
ful if the grading of the shoulders.
placing guard rail, etc., can be com
pleted this fall, although the road
may be thrown open to traffic with
certain restrictions and warning
signs to guard against accidents.

progress and the condition of the
highway was unknown to the parties
in the car and they state that no sign
or lightu were displayed to indi-
cate that the road was not in travel -

Mr. Murray and Mr. Andrews then
secured the assistance of Clarence

of the accident and he took the par-
ties on toward Plattsmouth in his

The second wreck occurred at the
junction of the Louisville road and
the detour near the Taylor school-

Nesson car was struck by the large
Reo car of Willard Beezley of Syra-
