Large Delegation Visit Here in In
terest of Coming Fourth of
July Celebration
The representatives of the Glen
wood Chamber of Commerce and the
tire department of that place, spon
soring the Fourth of July celebra
tion, were in Plattsmouth for a
short time Wednesday evening, meet
ing the local people and extending
the invitation to join in the fine cele
bration that the Iowa city is ar
ranging.
There were some thirty cars with
the fire truck and several other
trucks in the auto parade that ar
rived here, coming from the traffic
bridge along Livingston Road and
Third street to the main part of the
city. The notes of the siren brought
to the streets a large number and
soon the walks were alive with the
interested spectators to greet our
Iowa neighbors.
The visitors had brought with them
a band and this feature was much
appreciated as the musical organiza
tion gave a short concert at the
corner of Sixth and Main streets,
providing some excellent music and
adding to the pleasures of the visit.
Following the concert the members
of the band were treated to refresh
ments provided by Officers Libershal
and Pickrel, H. E. Wentworth and
Albert Funk.
The Glenwood people have made
arrangements to have a real old time
celebration of the Fourth of July
and have secured the Isler shows,
well known carnival organization
which has appeared here in the past
under the auspices of the American
Legion, for that week and who will
help make for the entertainment of
the large crowds that are expected
to be in attendance.
The visiting delegation comprised
representatives from the business in- ,
terests of Glenwood, their civic bodies
and the fire department and they
were a real e.nthusiastice group of
boosters
SUFFERS A HANDICAP
The persons who were in the office
of County Judge A. H. Duxburv
Wednesday afternon were treated to
a rather amusing spectacle at the
close of one of the court's impressive
wedding ceremonies. The bride and
groom who had come to this city
from a distant point, were rather
oddly mated as to height, the bride
being about six foot tall while the
groom was ranging nearer the five
foot measurements. As the Judge
closed the ceremony and gave his
congratulations to the newly weds
and bade them go forth as one, the
groom was taken with a desire to
embrace the bride and to impress on
her rosebud lips the kiss of nuptial
bliss. The bride had started to leave
the room and the groom ran to over
take her ana sought to grab her
to his manly bosom but found that
the case was reversed and that he
was far from his goal as the lady
towered above him and there was not
a chair or ladder handy. ,The bride,
however, did the old huddle and en
abled the groom to secure the covet
ed kiss and all was well.

Ago and So Credited

the matter of whether or not the

Death of Ed
Lewis Wrapped
in Mystery
Several Conflicting Stories as to the
Death of Former Resident
of Plattsmouth
From Thursday s Dally
The members of the Lewis family
in this city have received little def
inite information that would shed
any more light on the mysterious
death of Edward Lawis of Syracuse,
whose death occurred while he was
convoying a car o!" poultry from his
heme town to Schnectadv, New
York.
One story that has been received
is to the effect that railroad men at
Little Falls. New York, noticed the
door of the chicken car open when
the train arrived at that place Mon
day night and that the dead bod;
of Lewis was in the car and removed
it at that place. No cause of death
was given.
The message which was received
here and at Syracuse by the relatives
from Paul Hair, operator of a poul
try plant at Schnectadv. and a for
mer resident of Syracuse, was to the
effect that the poultry car arrived
at its destination at Schnectadv, both
doors ot the car open and no trace
of Lewis to be found. Mr. Hair had
investigated the matter and learned
that the body of a man had been
found along the railroad right of way-
some two hundred miles west of Sch
nectadv and which was thought to
be Lewis.
Later messages from Little Falls
indicated that the body found was
that of Lewis and it was thought he
had been hit by a train.
Relatives and friends here in view
of the circumstances of the case
were of the opinion that the death
was caused by an attack and prob
able murder of Mr. Lewis but no
definite information has been re
ceived as to this fact and as the
body is being sent to the home at
Syracuse at once it would seem the
New York authorities have consid
ered the death accidental.
The body is now en route from
Little Falls to Syracuse where the
widow and five small children re
side. Owing to the existing condi
tions it is thought that the funeral
will be held Friday as the body will
reach Syracuse tonight shortly af
ter midnight.
RETURNS FROM CALIFORNIA
Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Todd and son,

pleasure. The Todd family were

the schools closed and with the son
getting out of school at 2 p. m. the

PIPELINE WORK COMPLETED
The repair work on the ditches
of the natural r;h pipelines, has in
the past two weeks furnished em
ployment to a large number of the
local people, but the work is now
ompleted and the force laid off. The
pipe line trenches were very badly
washed over the eastern part of Cass
ounty and the fills In many cases
have been finite extensive and re-
niired a great deal of work. The
washing of the ditches exposed the
pipes in many cases and made nec
essary repairs on the pipelines them
selves. The present dry weather baa
been a great aid to the natural gas
companies in doing their repair work
and if the rains do not come too soon
and permit the settling of the dirt,
all will be well, otherwise a heavy
rain will mean the doing of the
work all over again.

Police Rescue
Young Man from
Drowning
Young Man Takes Bath in Cistern
and Owes Life to Police Officer
Hearing- Cries for Help
That George S'apneck. young man
making his home at the residence of
Mrs. Amelia Wynn. is in the land
of the living, is due to the prompt
work of Officer Joe Libershal and
Chief of Police Elliott, who rescued
the young man from a near watery
grave.
Friday afternoon .Mr. Libershal,
who resides near the Columbian
school, was going to his garden some
distance from the bouse, as he start
ed to the garden he was startled by
the cries of "Help! for Cod's Sake
Help!'' and in a tone of voice that
indicated that the person calling was
in real distress. Mr. Libershal ran
in the direction of the noise and at
Brst was unable to locate the sound
of the cries, going to the unoccupied
house of Mrs. Wynn from where the
noise seemed to come. Another ap
peal for help was sent out and Mr
uioersnaJ discovered that the cries
were coming from a cistern and in
vestigation showed the young man
in the cistern and in a condition of
exhaustion. In the meantime, .Mrs.
Libershal also hearing the appeal
for help, had called Chief of Police
Elliott and who arrived on the scene
a short time after the young man
was found in the cistern. The officers
assisted by Mrs. H. A. Shifter, a resi
dent nearby, secured a section of
wire clothesline and this was lower
ed to the young man, and as the
neighbors withdrew the two police
officers drew him to the surface and
in a state of collapse.
To the officers the young man
stated that he had been working in
the garden at the Wynn place and
becoming heated decided to try and
cool off by taking a bath in the cis
tern, sliding down the pipe of the
pump and into the ten feet of water
contained in the cistern. The water
proved very cold and after a few
moments in the watsf the young man
was well exhausted and had started
to cry for help. He had been in the
water almost an hour when rescued
and was so weak that he could hard
ly hold to the pine of the pump to
keep from sinking beneath the wa
ters of the cistern.
The residence property where the
cistern is located is some distance
from the other properties in the
neighborhood and that his cries for
help were heard is a pure matter of
good luck for the young man.
In assisting in effecting the rescue
Chief of Police Elliott was the chief
sufferer as he lost a pair of spec
tacles in the cistern as he and .Mr.
Libershal drew the victim of the cis
tern bath to safety.
BOWEN GOING STRONG
William Bowen, for a forthnight
resident of this city, is carving a
large place for himself in the annals
of forgery and crime, the latest of
his exploits being the securing of a
new auto at Davenport, Iowa, and
for which he gave a forged check.
The information of his latest for
gery came to the officers here Fri
day in a letter from the chief of po
lice of Davenport., Iowa, telling
that Bowen on June 9th had pur
