city endeavors.
The past several years have seen
the accomplishment of many notable
projects which would have been un
accomplished without an organization
such as the Chamber of Commerce to
carry on the riirht and the splendid
spirit of community interest and co-
operation that was shown and which

retiring president of the civic organ-

on Friday evening.
It is this organization that must
initiate many of the civic movements
and it is due to the officers and hard
working members of the committees
that falls the task of constantly keep
hammering away on the issue until
their goal is attained and to do this
they must have the whole hearted
support of everyone in the commun
ity, no matter in what walk of life
they may be engaged.
It should be the goal of every citi
zen to see that every possible oppor
tunity is afforded here for our peo
ple to have employment, to establish
and maintain homes and to make
their full contribution to the civic
life. In order that this may be accom
plished everyone must get into the
harness, must give their best to the
city and to advertise to the world
that Plattsmouth is not only a pleas
ant place to live with all of the ad
vantages of a small city and without
the disadvantages that come to the
dwellers in the larger centers of
population, but is also a logical point
for industrial enterprises.
The new president of the Cham
ber of Commerce. H. A. Schneider, is
one of the busy and active business
men of the community who in taking
the office must make a personal sacri
fice and delegate to others many of
the details of his own business while
he is serving without return the in
terests of the community and it is
due to him and to the community at

HAVE FINE MEETING
The Standard Bearers of the W. F.
M. S. held their regular meeting on
Sunday. January 11th at th church
at 4 p. m. The counselor. Mrs. E. H.
Wescott, met with the girls who
are members of the high school Sun
day school class. They carried on
the regular business session and re
viewed the second chapter of the
text. "A Cloud of Witnesses" which
was of especial interest to these girls ;
as there were stories of girls of their I
own age and what they had become
as christian forces in their own coun-
try,
The girls enjoved refreshments
about 5:30 and stayed on for the ;
evening session of Epworth League.
It is hoped that all the girls of this
high school class will find time to
attend these meetings and not only
contribute to the advancement of
the work but all learn much about
the worth while things that are he-
ing done by girls of this organization
all over the United States as well as
abroad.
The Standard Bearers have been
preparing a playlet. "The Sword,"
which they plan to give at the eve
ning Sunday service within two
weeks as one of their public pro
grams. They will also assist as the
time Dr. Lydia Schawm presents the
thank offering address for the Mo
ther Auxiliary. March 1st.
FRANK NEWMAN ILL
Frank Newman, one of the veteran
employes of the Burlington in this
city, has for the past several days
been confined to his home on Win
tersteen hill by illness and unable
to look after his usual activities.
Mr. Newman is one of the oldest em
ployes of the Burlington in point of
service that is still on the active list i business to Sam Archer, who has
and has for the last few years been been employed by Mr. Herrin since
engaged on the bridge gang of the 'he opened the place and who will

that time was working at the .ment. Mr. Archer is a long time
local shops. The many friends are
trusting that he may soon recover
from his illness and be able to take
up his usual activities.
ARRIVAL OF LITTLE SON
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Sorensen of

Wever Case to Be On Docket for
Next Monday and Several Other
Cases to Be Tried
The petit iurv for the November
iterm of the dis'rur court will be
called bark into service for the week
commencing January lPth and have
several cases to pass judgment on
during the w-'k.
The case of the State of Nebrask a
vs. Mrs. I"as Wever. a first degree
murder case, is scheduled to be heard
on Monday. January 19th and it is
expected that this case will take at
least three days to be tried. This
case is the first murder case in a
great many years in this county and
for its trial a large number of tails
men from out of the county will
probably be called as it is not ex
pected that the local people will be
called on the jury.
The case of Alloway vs. Ross and
Moran vs. Amiek are also scheduled
to be tried by the jury in the coming
week.
So far there has been no motion
filed for a change of venue in the
Wever case as was currently reported
would be the case and it is thought
that the case will be tried here as
the interest here is largely curiosity
rather than prejudice among the
residents of the community where
the Wever familv have resided since
1923.

; transformed into a large room for
'the use of the members of the jury

'north part into two rooms has been
removed and will now make one
, large room where the jury can hold

room to ue useu as a wasn room, i die
wili do away with the use of the
equity court room as a jury room and
will be a great deal more convenient
for everybody and the jury while en
gaged on a case will not have to
march through a packed court room
to get to and from their room but
can step from the jury box a few
steps and be in their room.

Recalls Old
Time Railroader
on Burlington
Death of Frank S. Granger in Cali
fornia Brings to Light Incidents
of His Service on Road
"I note in your morning paper of
the loth, that Frank S. danger died
in Fresno, Calif., that it was said
that he at one time lived in Lincoln
and worked for the Burlington rail
road, hut you had not been able to
find anyone that knew him here,"
Basra .1. J. Cassidy, former Burlington
yardmaster, in a letter to the Lincoln
State Journal. "I can tell you some
thing about Frank Granger. In Sep
tember. 1SS2. I was working for the
Milwaukee railroad between Marion,
la., and Council Bluffs. I was laid off
and together with a young man by
the name of John Donohue. I started
wrest looking for work. We reached
Council Bluffs and crossed the Mis
souri river at Omaha. After eating
our noon meal we went to the Bur
lington depot and he and I were sit
ting on a baggage truck wondering
where we would go to get employ
ment. I .-aw a man coming down the
platform. He looked like a railroad
man to me, so I said to Donohue.
"Lets us stop that fellow and ask
him if he knows where we can go to
find work." That man proved to be
Frank S. Granger. He told us that
there was an opening for trainmen
in Lincoln. At that time I had
never heard of Lincoln or the B. &
M.. as the Burlington was called at
that time. We told Granger that we
were about out of money and asked
him how would be the best way to
get to Lincoln. He said he was con
ductor on a stub passenger train
that ran between Omaha and Lincoln,
that he was going to leave Omaha
at 5:50 p. m. for Lincoln, and he
would let us ride over without pay
ing anything. We came to Lincoln
that evening with Granger and he
took us to the old Metropolitan hotel
that stood at the end of where the
O street viaduct now stands, or rath-
r where Grainger Bros, warehouse
stands now. The hotel was run by a
man by the name of Holtz. Granger
told Holtz to keep us overnight, that
we were railroad boys and if we did
not have the money to pay he would
pay it. That was the kind of men
the railroad boys were in those days.
Next morning we went to the B. &
M. depot and interviewed D. E.
Thompson, who was superintendent
of the Lincoln division and Jim Mc
Conniff. who was superintendent of
the A. & N. road, running from Lin-
oln to Atchison. From that time. I
was with the B. & M. for thirty-
rhree years.
"F. S. Granger was promoted to
trainmaster about 1SS5 but soon re
signed and went west, and I lost
track of him. but I shall always re
member his kindness to a couple of
railroad boys out of work and out of
money."
Mr. G ranger was also well known
in Plattsmouth. where he railroaded
in the early eighties, and he will be
well re. ailed by the older railroad
men who are still living here.
