FUNERAL OF FRED HANNI
The funeral services of the late
Fred Hanni were held Wednesday
afternoon at the Sattler funeral home
at Fourth and Vine streets and with
a very large number of the old time
friends and neighbors in attendance
at the last services. The words of
comfort and hope at the dawning of
the eternal life for their loved one
as given by Rev. Hanson, of Murray,
brought to the members of the fam

sorrow and grief. During the ser

vocalist, gave several of the hymns
requested by the members of the fam

rest in the family lot at that beauti
ful city of the silent.
Athletic Park
May be Reality
This Season
Prospects are Good for the Realiza
tion of the Park for Use of the
Schools of City.
The creation of an athletic park at
the old tourist park grounds on Wash
ington avenue, just north of the high
school and Central buildings seems to
be very bright and will fill a long
felt want in the way of a park that
will be adequate for the use of the
schools in their football and track
activities in the fall and spring. This
park with a little work can be made
into a real place for the school activi
ties and could also be utilized in
many ways for the track and football
seasons.
The board of education has plan
ned on securing additional property
if possible which would add to the
advantages to the schools and give
them ample room. It is to be hoped
that this will be completed and the
park placed in the hands of the
schools so that the spring track sea
son can be staged on a new field and
where an adequate cinder track can
be arranged for riie running events.
In the past it has been impossible to
establish any kind of a record on the
old ball park because of the holes and
bumps that made the track one that
was impossible to make speed and
where also the sprinters were in dan
ger of getting a fall.

Platter Debaters
Lose Out at the
District Meet
Paired with Strongest Team at Meet
Which Was Woe by Fremont
Work Highly Praised.
From Thursday's Dally
Meeting the hardest competition of
any school in the tournament, the
Plattsmouth high school team was
eliminated in the semi-finals of the
Eastern District Debate Tournament
held at Valley yesterday. Five sehols
competed: Fremont, Plattsmouth,
Blair, Valley and Snyder. The tour
nament was under the direction of
Mr. J. Arthur Nelson of Fremont and
the officials at Valley had spared no
effort to make the tournament a suc
cess. The single judge system was
used in all debates except the finals
where three were used. The single
Judges were: Miss Sarah Ryan, de
bate coach at Omaha Central; Miss
Mona Robinson, debate coach of
Omaha North and Mr. Roscoe Cart
wright, debate coach at Thomas Jef
ferson. In the first round, Plattsmouth
drew the strong Fremont team, three
times district champions and run-
nersup against the Central champions
in the Midland college tournament
three weeks ago. The Platter speak
ers: Mary Swatek, Gerald Sperry and
Robert Livingston took the negative
side of the state question and gave a
splendid account of themselves
against a championship team with a
record of twenty-nine victories this
season. Miss Kyan, in giving her de
cision to Fremont, praised the local
team for the splendid showing it
made against a team of the class of
Fremont. Other contests in the first
round found Valley and Snyder pit
ted against each other while Blair
drew a bye.
In the second round, Plattsmouth
drew a bye while Fremont met Sny
der and Valley met Blair. Fremont j
and Blair were victorious and Platts
mouth drew Blair while through some
peculiar arrangement, Fremont was
permitted ' to debate Snyder again.
The Blair-Plattsmouth was a close
contest with the local speakers hav
ing the edge because of a victory
over Blair a few weeks ago. Charles
Nowacek took Gerald Sperry's place
on the affirmative. Miss Kooinson
stated in her decision that the de
bate was so close that it was extreme
ly difficult for her to make a decision
but that she gave the victory to Blair
because their speakers seemed to be
more experienced. A victory over
Blair would have sent Plattsmouth in
to the finals against Fremont.
Fremont used her third team
against Snyder for a set-up victor.
With Valley, Snyder and Plattsmouth
eliminated, Blair and Fremont argued
for the championship at eight o'clock
with Fremont picked to win.
While Plattsmouth drew the hard
est assignment of all the teams in
having to meet Fremont and Blair
In succession, Fremont was having
easy sailing against the weak Snyder
team and Blair was easily trimming
Valley who was not even able to beat
Snyder Neither Fremont or Blair
had any difficulty disposing of any
of their opponents except Platts
mouth. If the Platters could have had
a little luck in the draw, they might
have had an opportunity to gain at
least one victory which with the bye
would have sent them into the finals.
The Platters had the same ill luck
in the drawing last year, meeting
Blair and Fremont in order.
Plattsmouth can well be proud of
the showing that the speakers made
in the tournament during the sea
son. When good debating is done,
the decision is not of great import
ance. Plattsmouth has made an ef
fort to stress the values to be gain
ed from public speaking and the clash
of arguments rather than the win
ning of an impressive array of vic
tories. Plattsmouth closes the season with
three victories, over Blair, Valley and
Nebraska City; two defeats at the
hands of Blair and Fremont and four
no-decision contests with Omaha Cen
tral and Omaha North.
All the debaters graduate this year.
Robert Livingston and Mary Swatek
are winners of awards for the sec
ond year while. Chas. Nowacek and
Gerald Sperry will receive this award
for the first time.

SEEM TO HAVE LOCATED LEAK
From Thursday's Ially
The flooded condition in the vicin
ity of Oak and Seventh streets which
prevailed for the past several weeks,
seems to have developed to have been
caused by a leak in the main of the
water company, or at least that part
of the overflow in the streets where
for the past two weeks there has been
a great deal of water flowing. The
members of the city council investi
gating the matter yesterday with the
officers of the water company decided
to turn off the mains leading into
that section of the city as an experi
ment. The mains had been off but a
short time when the flow of water
ceased, proving no doubt to be a
leak in the pipe.
Now that the cause of the trouble
has been located it will be repaired,
but a great deal of damage has been
done by the flowing water, to the
paving as well as the annoyance to
the residents of that section of the
city, who have had their cellars full
of water for the past few months.
The water company had checked
their standpipe and pumping records
and could trace no apparent undue
use of water, but which has apparent
ly been flowing all of these weeks
and months and in which time a
great deal of water has been escap
ing. WILL LEAVE THE CITY
From Thursday's Dauy
Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Bell are plan
ning on leaving the city soon and
making their home at Fremont, Mr.
Bell going there the coming week to
take up his work as an auto sales
man and the family will follow later.
The host of friends of this estimable
family will regret to see them leave
this city where they hare made their
home since their marriage a number
of years ago.
