Separate answers have been filed
in the office of the clerk of the dis
trict court at Nebraska City by the
Darling Transfer company and C.
w. Darling of Nemaha county to the
$4,077 damage suit filed againsl
them by George Eicher of Nebraska
City. The suit grew out of an auto
mobile accident which occurred
March 27. 1931, on U. S.-7T, near the
Murray corner, in which the Eicher
car was damaged and the plaintiff
severely injured.
The answer of the Darling Trans
fer company says the Nebraska City
News-Press, sets forth that its truck
was standing off the pavement on
the right side of the roadway and
was equipped with red lights at the
time Etches crashed Into the truck
and that the accident was wholly
lue to careless and reckless driving
of Eicher who was driving at an un
lawful rate of speed at the time
of the crash. It is further set out
that Eicher was not keeping a proper
and sharp lookout to discover objects
and vehicles using the roadway that
there was sufficient space to pass the
truck without striking it if Eicher
had been driving at a reasonable rate
of speed.
The defendant seeks to have the
suit dismissed.
In the answer of C. W. Darling
the same contentions are set forth
as in the above answer and in ad
dition a cross petition asking $250
tlamages to his truck is asked.
On the night of the accident Eicher
and his father were returning to Ne
braska City from Omaha and at the
Murray corner collided with a truck
of the Darling Transfer company..
Iron pipes extended from the rear,
which the Eicher car struck, injur
ing both Eicher and his father and
damaging the car in which they were
passengers.

FOURTH ANNIVERSARY
Four years ago this month, the
Legion Community building was;
opened to the public. In addition to
money accumulated by the Legion as j
a resnll Of its various activities anil
the generous contributions of the
public, an indebtedness of $0,0o0 was!
incurred In the erection of the build-!
in. In these four years, the past
two of which have been far from con
ducive to "making money." the Le
gion has been able to meet its interest
regularly and reduce the indebtedness

ing adverse conditions.
Knterprisos that once netted up
wards of $1,000 are now good for not
more than a hundred fir so at best and I

nil e profit the first year has failed to
bring in more than enough to pay ex

h" Legion hopes to strike a popular!
Chord of public approval and support
and thus be able to keep its head
above water until the return of gen
eral prosperity, when the matter of
raising sufficient money to pay off I
existing indebtedness and start a fund 1
for the eventual completion of the 1
upper story should he a comparative
ly easy matter.
Besides reducing its indebtedness,
the organization has made extensive
improvements to the building, includ
