QUEEN ESTHERS MEET
The Queen Esther society held
very pleasant meeting on Thursday
evening at the home of Mrs. Herman

of the membership. The meeting was

From Saturday's Daily
me blatters or 1932 added an
other to their string of victories for
the season when they took the Te-
cumseh team by the score of G to 0 in
a hard fought battle and in which at
cne time the visitors were threaten
ing by inches the goal of the locals.
The game was one of the very best
that the locals have staged and in
the flashy around end dashes of Hirz,
the entire team offered great inter
ference for their runner. The line
also assisted in ripping the oppon
ents line in the smashes made by
Ronne and Arn.
Repeatedly on the smashes Ronne
scored first downs for the team and
with Arn accounted for a large part
of the downs, altho off side penalties
robbed the players of their hard
earned gains.
The locals kicked off at the open
ing of the game and after three plays
Tecumseh failed to gain and was
forced to punt out against the strong
northwest wind, securing only a
short distance on the kick. The
march was then started for the goal
of Tecumseh. Sam Arn raced and
plunged through the center of the
visitors line for seven yards and then
Ronne, fast and driving fullback
smashed through for the first down,
Hirz added five yards in a race
around the right of the visitors line.
Arn around end was able to make a
first down for the locals. Hirz then
added eight yards In one of his spec
tacular end runs, Ronne smashing
the center for the two yards and a
first down. Ronne and Arn hitting
the visitors line carried the ball to
the visitors two yard line. Ronne,
powerhouse of the locals with the
forc9 of his team mates assisting,
swept through for the touchdown,
he hitting the visitors line standing
up and having little difficulty in
making the score. The kick of Arm
strong for the extra point failed,
leaving the score at 6 to 0 for the
Platters.
In the opening of the fourth quar
ter the blue and white faced a ser
ious threat of Tecumseh, which was
rolled back with the ball Incne3 from
the Plattsmouth goal. Tecumseh,
freshened by the rest and conference
of the half, returned to the field and
made good several end runs for much
yardage. The Platters then drew a
twenty-five yard penalty for "clip
ping," bringing the ball to the five
ytrd line of the locals. With their
backs to the wall and to defend their
right to the victory the Platters re
pelled the attempt of the heavy op
posing team to batter through and
with the ball but inches from the
line the last attempt of the visitors
was smothered and the ball given
to Plattsmouth. Fob Rummel punt
ed to mid field and the danger of de
feat checked.
Plattsmouth carried the ball into
the Tecumseh danger zone in the last
moments of the game, this coming
through one of the most spactacular
plays of the game. Hirz and Ronne
by their runs and line smashes had
carried the ball to the visitors forty
yard line and there the visitors held.
Rummel dropped back to punt, but a
bad pass which was low made the
kick impossible a3 the visitors were
rushing the kicker, Rummel, taking
the ball then skirted the visitors left
end for twenty-five yard3 and a first
down. However the game closed be

From Saturday's Daily-
Last evening at 8:45 while th
business houses of Nehawka were all
open for their trade and the streets
filled with those who were attending
the Armistice day program, D. D
Adams, veteran druggist, was he'd
up and robbed.
The drug store was open as usual
and Mr. Adams seated at the rear of
the store when a stranger entered
and walking swiftly to where Mr,
Adams was seated, pulled a revolver
and commanded that he hand over
what money was on his person or in
the store. Mr. Adams under the
potent threat of the revolver secured
eight dollars fr-im the safe and hand
ed it over, the robber also seizing i
small tin box that contained insur
ance and other valuable papers. The
stranger then walked to the rear
door of the store and made his escape
into the night.
Mr. Adams as soon as possible ran
to the street to give the alarm to
Marshal Wolf, who started a search
for the burglar as well as sending the
alarm to Sheriff Ed W. Thimgan at
Plattsmouth. The sheriff arrived in
some twenty minutes on the scene
and with the marshal started a
search over the business section and
also the Missouri Pacific tracks, re
maining to see if the man tried to
escape on any of the passing freight
trains.
The first that Mr. Adams noticed
of the man was when He was right
on him and he was unable to tell if
the escapejrus, mde, byautOjl wheth
er there was an accomplice waiting
with a car for the robber.
From . the description given of the
robber it Is thought that it is the
same party that held up W. S. Smith

of the week.
