North Wins from
Platters 13 to 7,
Last Saturday
Crippled Blue and White Stage Hard
Fight Dew Races 96 Yards for
Local Touchdown
The curtain on the home season
of football rolled up Saturday after
noon when 'he Vikings from North
high at Omaha came down with their
array of beef and brawn to battle the
Platters, the result being that the
visitors carried away the honors by
the score of 13 to 7 in a game that
was a hard fought battle from the
start to the finish.
The local team was suffering from
the injuries of the players which kept
Hirz, veteran tackle from the game
and Wiles, fast halfback, was play
ing gamely in the contest, altho suf
fering from the injuries received
Thursday in the practice game.
The game was but moments old
when Hubert Dew. local fullback.
inriuen ine ians ty snatching a
North pass out of the air and racing
around the end of his line skirted
the foemen to go ninety-six yards
for the touchdown, the first of the
game and the only to be scored by
his team. This player also made good
the extra point to give the blue ami
white seven at the close of the quar
ter. In the last moments of the second
quarter the North team were held for
downs on the Plattsmouth five yard
line and the blue and white decided
to try to punt out of danger, but as
Dew was attempting the kick he was
blocked by Guthrie of North and the
ball' was recovered by Anthes for a
touchdown to give the visitors six
points, the attempt to pass for the
extra point being unsuccessful.
In the third period the visitor;:
made good use of their heavy men
to batter the lighter line of the Plat
ters and also releasing an aerial at
tack that made a real threat as they
marched down the field until they
were checked by Frady who inter
cepted a pass and recovered the ball
for the locals.
The final tally of the Norsemen
came in the last quarter when, after
the visitors had been held for downs
in the Plattsmouth danger zone, Dew
attempted to punt out of danger only
to have the ball roll out of bounds
in the local territory and it was soon
returned by North to the Plattsmouth
goal area. The scoring was by a
series of terrific line smashes with
Anthes, easily the outstanding North
player, serving as the battering ram
and in the third down he came over
the line for the touchdown. Zontz
kicked for the extra point and left
the score at the final whistle as 13
to 7.
The 1930 Platters looked good In
their initial effort despite the loss
of the game and showed more fight
than the team has for years, altho
the lightness of the line was a handi
cap against the heavier Omaha team.
Hubert Dew, was the outstanding
Platter in the contest to share the
honors with Chet Wiles, who bat
tered and bruised, was in the game
and carried the ball for the locals
on many plays. The work of Robert
Hirz at quarter and George Stoll on
the line also served to check the
North team in their attempted gains,
both players making many fine
tackles. Of the new members of the
squad, Mott Frady looked good and
will be a factor in the future battles
of the blue and white.
BAND IS REAL ATTRACTION
The Plattsmouth high school band
in their uniforms of white made a
very fine addition to the game here
Saturday and the musicians under the
direction of B. E. Woodward, gave a
program of catchy music that served
to add to the enthusiasm of the fans
and the players. The band will make
a great addition to the school life
and in the football season are going
to add a great deal to the interest
of the school people. Mr. Woodward
has worked earnestly with the mem
bers of the band during the last few
years and is developing some excel
lent musicians among the young men
of the school.

SOLDIERS GET DAMP
From Tuesday's DaJYy
The members of the Seventeenth
infantry hiking from Fort Crook to
Shenandoah, Iowa, who had their
overnight camp at the rifle rant
north of this city, had the usual ex
perience of an army hike in this
section of the country, a damp ar.d
rainy night in which to spend the
hours in the well known "pup" tent.
One of the veteran members of the
regiment however, stated that the
experience last night was not an
noying as he recalled stveral years
ago when the battalion of which he
was a member, camped here while
en route to Leavenwortn to tne
M. T. C, of which they were to be
training instructors. At that time
the troops had camped on the ball
grounds Just east of the Burlington
station and about 10:30 one of the
wild summer storms had come up and
left some two inches of rain, the
greater part of which swept dovn
through the main sewers and out onto
the bottom land and the ball park,
the result being that the sleeping
soldiers awakened to find several
inches of water in their tents and
growing stronger. That night the
troops had to seek refuge from the
flood water by wading and half swim
ming up to the main portion of the
city where they were quartered In
halls and empty building for the
rest of the night.
DEATH OF ELMW00D LADY
The death of Mrs. Ellen Kear,
eighty-three, occurred Monday at the
family home at Elmwood following a
short illness. The deceased lady has
been a resident of this state for the
past sixty-two years, she moving
from her home at Lincoln to Elm
wood a great many years ago. The
deceased lady was one of the high
ly esteemed and respected residents
of the western part of Cass county
and her death brings a great regiet
to the old time friends. She is sur
vived by four daughters, Mrs. Mary
Andrews and Mrs. Lorilla Herman,
both of Elmwood. Mrs. Emma Jame
son, Lincoln and Mrs. Harrington of
Plainview, two sons, John of Plain
view and Meville of Lincoln.
The funeral of Mrs. Kear will be

cemetery at that place.
ENTERTAINS FRIENDS
From Wednesday Dally
Last evening Miss Eleanor O'Brien
entertained the ladies of the local
exchange of the Lincoln Telephone
& Telegraph Co., at her apartments
at 719 Granite street. The ladies
spent the evening in games and other
social features until a late hour when
they departed homeward voting Miss
O'Brien a very clever entertainer.
Dainty refreshments were served at
an appropriate hour to complete the
enjoyment of the members of the
jolly party. Miss O'Brien was as
sisted by Miss Melba Epler.
Sand and Gravel
Industry Makes
Much Business
Industry Makes This City Important
Shipping Point 10,000 Cars
Shipped Last Year.
The Lyman-Richey Sand & Gravel
Co., which operates their pits six
miles northwest of this city, is one
of the important industries in this
part of the state and one that makes
Plattsmouth an important shipping
point on the Burlington as there
were 10,000 car loads of sand and
gravel shipped from this point last
year and which is being exceeded
this year.
The pits have been in operation
for the past three years when the
first trackage was laid from the old
main line of the Burlington from
Oreapolis and now this trackage has
been greatly increased and the addi
tional machinery for the handling of
the sand and gravel makes it possible
to produce more than one hundred
cars of fifty tons each.
The quality of the gravel is of
the very best and much of the gravel
used in road surfacing and maintain
ing in this section of Nebraska has
been taken from the local pits whilt
the great paving and graveling pro
gram of the state of Iowa calls for
from 90 to 135 cars per day from
the pits.
The company maintains its own
steam drum hoists or car pullers for
placing the cars at the dumps and
where the cars are filled in fifteen
minutes.
The pits are under the superin
tendency of J. W. Taylor, veteran
sand and gravel man and who has
made the local pits among the very
best that this company has in their
ownership. The industry has been
an important factor locally in the
labor employment as at the busiest
times of the year they are employing
shifts of forty to fifty men each and
three crews are employed at the busy
season in handling the supply of
gravel and sand for the market.
VISITING HERE FROM THE EAST
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Holmes and
little daughter, Margaret Louise, ar
rived here Monday afternoon from
their home at Camden, New Jersey,
to enjoy an outing here at the home
of Mr. Folmes' parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Holmes.
This is the first visit of the young
people home for some time and the
occasion is a most happy one for the
members of the family as well as the
old time friends of Ralph.
Mr. Holmes is now with the Cam
den plant of the RCA Victor, one of
the largest radio and talking ma
chine organizations in the country
and Mr. Holmes who has been there
since the first of the years in the
research department, finds the work
most fascinating with the great or
ganization, which is one of the larg
est in the United States.
After graduating from the engi
neering college of the University of
Whrsska in 1923 Mr. Holmes was
,empi0yed by the General Electric
i r.nmnanv at their main plant at
company at tneir main piant at
Schnectady, New York, remaining
there until he was transferred to
the RCA Victor plant at Camden.
Mr. and Mrs. Holmes motored in
from the east, a 1,300 mile trip and
came west over the Lincoln highway
until reaching Iowa when they came
west over 34 to this city.
MAKES FINE DRIVE
The city has just completed plac
ing additional gravel on the Living
ston road, or rather that portion
that lies within the city limits, which
makes it a very fast and snappy
driveway. This road leading to the
new Missouri river traffic bridge is
one of the most delightful in this
section of the west and it takes one
along the sweeping hills and bluff
to come out on the towering bluff
where the bridge approach is located.
The fencing that the city maintains
along the roadway has also been
painted and makes a very fine fea
ture of the drive.
The opening of this driveway has
brought a great deal of attention to
the east portion of the city and re
sulted in the great improvement of
that section of the city.
SARPY COUNTY MAN ARRESTED
From Monday's rany
Last night Officers Libershal and
Pickrel gathered in a man giving the
name of Anton Smitz, who gave his
residence as Papillion, the man be
ing picked un as he was driving his
car while intoxicated, there being a
small bottle of liquor found on him
as the officers made the arrest. The
man was taken to the city jail and
lodged to await the hearing of his
case before Judge C. L. Graves.
This morning Smitz was given a
hearing before Judge C. L. Graves
and on the charge of possession of
intoxicating liquor. A plea of guilty
was given and the defendant fined
$100 and costs for the offense.
THIEVES ACTIVE HERE
A gang of petty thieves seems to
be operating in this city according to
the police as there has been several
cases of persons taking spare tires
and also emptying the gas tanks of
cars that are left parked out on the
streets. The parties pulling off these
stunts are not awaiting for darkness
but several cases of the pilfering
have been reported where the own
ers of the car had left their cars out
in the street for a few moments and
returning have found the tires mis?
ing as well as the gas drained from
the cars. The police are working on
the cases and hope to have the per
son or persons apprehended for this
annoying line of thieving.

Change Over
on Gas Service
Going On Today
Head Engineers of United Light &
Power Co. Here to Check Over
Equipment for Change
From Tuesday'tj larv
The local gas plant is a place of
more than usual interest as the en
gineers of the Un'ted Ligh' & Power
Co., parent organization of the Iowa
.Nebraska Lirht fc Power Co.. are
here testing out the changes in the
equipment that are necessary before
the full 100 per cent natural gas
service is given the gas consumers of
this city.
E. L. Fisher, gas engineer, O. K
Smith, chemical engineer of the
United Light & Power Co., of Daven
port, Iowa, and W. A. Stimpson of
the Lincoln offi,ce of the Iowa- Ne
braska Co., are here testing out the
stoves and other appliances to de
termine the exact standard at which
they are to be set for the new gas
service.
The gas used now is of a mixture
of sixty artificial and forty natural
gas, this to be stepped up until by
the end of the week it will be pos
sible to have the full supply of na
tural ras being used.
The engineers have the straight
artificial, mixed and natural gas
working in the stoves used, making
changes that are necessary to pre
pare the various appliances of the
consumers using gas for the new gas.
The natural gas gives a greatly in
creased volume of heat over the old
gas and this is a factor in making it
much cheape r as there is a great deal
less of it used as can be seen readily
when the three types of gas are ob-
erved.
The Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power
Co. had a force of workmen here this
afternoon who were given instruc
tions by Mr. Fisher and Mr. Smith
as to the necessary adjustments to
make on the various types of gas
stoves and heaters, they in turn will
call on the consumer and make what
changes may be necessary.
The comirg of the natural gas is
an event that has long been looked
forward to by the residents of this
city and they will in the next few
days have the opportunity of test
ing out the gas in their various lines
of gas using equipment. A great
many are discussing the adoption of
gas as a fuel in furnaces as being
greatly cleaner and convenient.

has been over the question of the
cost of the security for the deposits
and the interest rate, the law re
quiring the payment of two per cent
on county funds deposited in the
banks, which the banks have felt was
unjust in the demand owing to the
fact that the cost of carrying the
protection for the funds was large
and also the handleing of the funds
required more or less extra work.
It was proposed that the counties
either pay the cost of the security
bond or that they allow the banks
a service charge of one per cent to
help make up the cost of handling
the county funds.
The commissioners here have been
laboring with this problem for
months and while desirious of aiding

to remit the interest or pay the serv
ice charge. Recently the commis
sioners instructed the treasurer to

them was more of a burden than it
was worth to the banks, placing It

state have adopted the plan of hav
ing the banks pay over to the treas
urer the full amount of interest due
on the deposits at each interest day
and in turn billing the county for
the service charge.
