Pre-Christmas Visitation Results in
Securing Supply of "Moon
shine" Tuesday.
The Christmas flow of spirits,
which might have contributed to the
gayet of the holiday season at Weep
ing Water, was decidedly short as the
result of a visitation there on Tues
day afternoon of Sheriff Bert Reed,
Deputy Sheriff Rex Young, and Con
stable Tom Svoboda.
The reports of the activity of the
illicit liquor traffic has been under
investigation by the sheriff for some
time and on Tuesday warrants were
prepared for two of the suspected
places, one of which was that of a
party who was just a short time ago
taken in on a similar charge.
The visit of the sheriff and his
force was unexpected and with the
result that the supply that might
have regailed the thirsty is now re
posing in the yault at the office of
the county attorney to await final
disposition when the action against
the parties are taken.
At the residence of Lawson Con
rad it was found that he had several
gallons of the real "moon" on hand
and which, was ruthlessly gathered
in and brought on into this city to
gether with the owner of the stock,
who a few weeks ago was taken on
a similar charge at a farm near Weep
ing Water.
The officers also visited the home
of Ross Dennis where a small quan
tity of hootch was found together
with some beer and which the officers
also seized.
HOLIDAY WORKOUTS
Captain Roy Turner of the Platts
mouth high school basketball team
is having his team work out every
morning during the school vacation
to keep them fit for the resumption
of their playing schedule which opens
with a game on January 10th at
Havelook with the team of that place.
While Coach Rothert is enjoying a
stay at his home at Harvard the
members of the blue and white squad
with the assistance of several of the
visiting college students and coaches
are keeping up their workout and
expect to be able to give a good ac
count of themselves in the remaining
games of the season.
The local quintet and the alumni,
comprising former basketball stars of
the P. H. S. will probably stage their
annual game here before the visiting
students are compelled to return to
their school duties elsewhere.
ENJOY FAMILY REUNION
The home of Mrs. Rose Book
.neyer on Marble street has been the
scene for the past few days of a very

Mrs. Koehnke was formerly Miss
Mary Svoboda, sister of Mrs. Book
meyer. The Koehnke family are spending

very much appreciated gift of the

the dinner served at mid-day and
which was one that embraced all of
the good things that can be found
in this section of the west. Gold
place cards were used with the flow
ers in the table decorations while
the large cake that formed the cen
terpiece of the table was prepared by

was a most beautiful feature of the
occasion.

event one that will long be remem
bered by all who were fortunate to
be in attendance.

MANY VISIT NEW BRIDGE
The fact that it is possible to get
to and from the new traffic bridge
over the Missouri river at this place.
Is bringing a very large number to
the structure every day, rassing
over the bridge to Iowa and return
for the purpose of trying out the
new link that is to unite the states
of Iowa and Nebraska. The bridge
is being used a great deal by those
who have business on either side of
the river and several trucks have
made the trip to and from the Iowa
side of the river.
This bridge is a link that will cut
the distance to the live stock market
at Omaha fcr the Iowa farmers some
forty miles and give them the advan
tage of a direct line into the south
side and the market instead cf the
long trip around through the busi
ness sections of Council Bluffs and
Omaha that was required heretofore.
Those who are traveling to and
from the bridge are urged tc exer
cise caution in driving as the road is
still incomplete and until the guard
rails are placed along the new high
way there will be elements of diinger.
MRS. STREET POORLY
Mrs. M. A. Street, one of the old
residents of the city, who has. for
the past few years been in failing
health, has in the past few days be
come very" serious in her condition
and her advanced years and enfeebled
health has made it necessary that
she be conned to her bed. The pat
ient has been gradually growing
weaker and gives but little hope of
her recovery.

Foil House
for Mew Bridg;
'a
to be Placed
Structure Will Be Brought From
Omaha via Council Bluffs and
Placed on the Bridge
The fine new steel and concrete
traffic bridge over the Missouri river
at this point is to have one of the
finishing touches given to it today or
Saturday when the toll house, which
has been bum at the plant of tr.e
Omaha Steel WorTjs will be placed.
The toll house hr.s been prepared
all ready for placing and will be
brought by truck ' through Council
Bluffs and (Hen wood to the new
bridge and will be placed at the west
end of the bridge structure.
President H. A. Schneider of the
Plattsmouth Bridge Co., stated today
that the company however, would
rot start the taking of tolls until the
rordway on the vest side of the
bridge is nearer completion, at the
present time the travel over the
road being rather rough and not so
convenient.
The new bridge is attracting much
attention and inquiries have been
received here from many points in
quiring as to the travel and the use
of the structure for parties driving
from distant points i-e, the state to the
east.
The structure will be a great ad
dition to the means of travel and
makes it possible to save z great
deal of time to the auto drivers anil
truckers in getting from points east
or west or in reaching Omaha with
stock shipments.
On the Iowa side cf the bridge the
road is in good shape and makes
travel very easy but the necessity of
building a new highway'on the west
side has caused some delay in the
bridge opening but this will soon be
out of the way. and the formal open
ing of the new structure will be an
nounced and at which t'mo it is hoped
to have both the governors of Iova
and Nebraska present to join in the
opening of the structure that will
remove the river barrier between the
two great states of the middle west.
