State Legion
Officials Visit
City Last Nite
Commander Marcus L. Poteet and
Adjutant H. H. Dudley Attend
"Over-the-Top" Jubilee.
From Fr1dav' pally
About forty of the 108 members
of the local American legion post
Wt re present at last night's "Over-fhe-Top"
jubilee meeting, celebrating
the successful conclusion of a mem
bership contest that has resulted in
the membership exceeding the state
department quota of 95 by some fif
teen per cent. There were also pres
ent at the meeting Department Com
mander Marcus (Mike) Poteet. and
Department Adjutant H. H. (Hank)
Dudley, both of Lincoln, who drove
down specially for the meeting.
The passing of its quota by Platts
mouth post, places all the posts in
the 12th district, which includes Cass,
Otoe, Lancaster and Seward counties,
over the top. This is considerable of
a feat, especially in a "hard times"
year, and considering the fact that
Nebraska City. Lincoln and Platts
mouth have been chronic laggards in
making their quota for a number of
years past. Perhaps the best expla
nation for it is found in the cashing
of numerous adjusted service com
pensation certificates during the past
few months and a desire on the part
of the ex-service men to belong to
the organization that has played an
important part in securing this aid
for them.
The business meeting was presided
over by Albert Olson, who accedes to
the office of commander due to re
moval from the city of Commander
Holcomb. Committee reports and rou
tine business were followed by report
on membership status from Captains
June Marshall and Dr. Taylor of the
wining and losing sides, respectively,
and Aubrey Duxbury, champion mem
ber getter of the contest, with ten to
his credit. Quota stars, a Legion cap
decoration, were awarded to Captain
Marshall and Mr. Duxbury. A special
emblem was presented to "Doc"-Taylor,
showing with emphasis the num
ber of members personally signed up
by him during the campaign.
Commander Olson Introduced De
partment Commander Poteet, who
spoke on the achievements of the Le
gion during the past decade, particu
larly the part it has played in secur
ing aid for the sick and ailing mem
bers. Poteet counseled against fur
ther request for payment of the re
maining one-half of adjusted compen
sation certificates and asked for the
united support of the organization
for a widow's pension bill to come
before an early session of congress.
He pointed out that most of the ex
service men. who are dying in large
numbers each day. leave a widow and
several small children and said the
need of widow's pensions lies in the
present rather than in the future
when the children will be grown to
a self-supporting age.
Department Adjutant Dudley next
told of plans for the state and nation
al conventions to be held in August
and September at Fremont and De
troit, respectively. He praised the
good work of Plattsmouth post in go
ing "over the top" in membership and i
for its numerous other community
service achievements.
Following their talks. Messrs Po
teet and Dudley were called upon to
make some explanation of the recent
displacement of Mrs. J. P. Jensen as
contact officer between the needy or
ailing ex-service man and the veter
ans' bureau officials. Economy was
given as the main reason for letting
her out, but Plattsmouth post, which
has previously passed a resolution
commending Mrs. Jensen and her
work continues to voice its disap
proval of her retirement from the of
fice. This matter will probably be
one of the outstanding bones of con
tention at the coming Fremont con
vention and upon its determination
may hinge the selection of the next
state commander.
The meeting was closed with re
tirement of the colors and all pres
ent joined in doing justice to the
buffet luncheon prepared by a com
mittee of losing side members, under
supervision of Chef Henry Lamphere
and Coffee Maker Henry Soennichsen.
The luncheon included many tempt
ing viands and jaded appetites were
whetted with iced near beer, so the
"seconds" call met with ready re
sponse. ENGINEER VISITS CITY

gineer of the firm of Burgess & Niple,

terday between trains.

HOME FOE A FEW WEEKS
From Thursday's Dally
Mrs. F. W. Kirkpatrick, from Sem
inole. Okla.. arrived in Plattsmouth
this week for an extended visit with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. M.
Soennichsen, and her brothers and
sister, and the many friends at the
old home. Mr. Kirkpatrick has been
engaged in the oil business in Okla
homa for the past number of years,
and up to the last year business in
the oil fields has been very lively.
The present low level of the crude
oil markets have slowed this line
up considerably along with the bal
ance of the business world. The vast
amount of oil being taken from the
wells at this time combined with
the heavy import has reduced the
price to an extremely low level, so
Mrs. Kirkpatrick says the oil busi

Repairs on Pipe
Lines Meet with
Much Opposition
Much Objection Found by Fanners
as Force of Workers Operate in
Fields of Growing Crops
The residents of the territory in
this part of Cass county on whose
lands the natural gas pipelines are
laid, have faced one of the prob
lems of the line right-of-way that
of the workmen of the companies be
ing forced to move into the fields to
do repair work.
The farmers have their crops in
for the season and the heavy rains
in this section have washed open the
ditches in which the pipelines are
laid, in the repair work lo the lines
the company employes necessarily
have moved into the fields to fill the
ditches and as the consequence some
of the planted fields have been dam
aged and which does not set well
with the land owners and farmers.
There have been several cases
where the workers have found oppos
ition to their coming onto the land,
and which has caused court action to
be started to restrain the land owners
and farmers from attempting to stop
the workers.
The residents along the line have
felt that their rights in the mat
ter were being invaded and their
crops damaged to a great extent and
naturally have felt some resentment
bnt as the lines are in, the work of
repairing must be carried out o,r
damage to the lines sustained ahd
this has led to the rather bad feel

Pipeline Com
pany Seeks an
Injunction
Missouri Valley Pipeline Co. Seeks
to Prevent Joseph Safarik from
Interfering With Them
From Thursday's Dally
The Missouri Valley Pipeline Co.,
a corporation supplying natural gas
to many places in eastern Nebraska
and Iowa, this morning made appli
cation in -the district court of Cuss
county for an injunction against
Joseph J. Safarik, a farmer residing
west nf Mynard.
The injunction sought is to pre
vent Mr. Safarik from interfering
with the workmen of the plaintiff
company in their work of repairing
the lines and trenches of the com
pany which have been placed on the
property of the defendant.
It is stated that the rains of the
past two weeks have washed the
trenches of the compaiiy in which
the pipeline is laid and that this
condition must be repaired for the
safety of the line, that it is neces
sary to have workmen enter on the
Safarik place to repair the line. The
plaintiff company claims in their
petition that the defendant. Mr. Sa
farik had ordered the workman off
the farm and had drawn a weapon
on the men and threatened them if
they came on the place again.
The farm occupied by Mr. Safarik
is the A. S. Will farm west of My
nard and the pipeline extends across
the entire farm and in the heavy
rains the trenches have been very
badly hashed and making the neces
sary the replacement of the dirt in
the trenches.
In the absence of District Judge
James T. Begley from the city the
application for a temporary restrain
ing order was made to County Judge
A. H. Duxbury, who granted the in
junction and set the hearing for next
Monday when the merits of the case
will be passed upon and the matter
of the permancy of the restraining
order acted upon.

released the neighboring counties
from the division of the river.
The local people are arranging
with the bridge company to permit
the free passage of all cars from
Mills county to this city all day and
to midnight of each Wednesday in

river a cordial welcome and a hearty
invitation to come often.
