Ashland Takes
Game from the
Platters, 7 to 0
Passing Attack in the Last Quarter
of Game Gives the Saunders
County Team Victory.
The Platter3 showing a slow and
sluggish game were defeated by the
Ashland high school football team
Friday afternoon at the Saunders
county city. The locals seemed un
able to get going and were held
handily by their opponents.
The Ashland team with their de
ceptive plays had the locals guessing
and a splendid passing offensive also
served to gain them the necessary
goal and the opportunity for the extra
point.
The Ashland score came in the last
period of the game when they ad
vanced 'on the Platters with a series
of well placed passes and attacks on
the line that brought them deep into
the local territory. A long pas3 to
one of the elongated Ashland lads
brought the ball to the five yard line
of the Platters and the receiver skirt
ed the local end for the needed touch
down, while the kick was good for
the extra point and the game ended
to 0. '
Plattsmouth the coming week will
entertain the 6trorig College View
team on the local gridiron and will
endeavor to wipe out the defeat that
the Ashland team has given them.
The game3 on Friday among the
leading schools in the east section of
the state were' as a rule, close, the
Thomas; Jefferson 'team of Council

MAKES STATEMENT
Mrs. Gertie Beckner has requested
us to publish the following article:
On July 23, 1$32. the County
Board of Insanity of Cass County,
committed me to the insane asylum
at .Lincoln, Nebraska, and I should
like those who know me and those
who may know me In the future to
know the circumstances of that com
mittment. The Insanity Board of Cass Coun
ty held the inquisition on my case
without serving any notice that my
sanity was being' questioned and
without giving me an opportunity to
be heard; without 'issuing any com
mission to any doctor to examine me
as the statute provided they should;
in August of this year I employed
counsel and procured a writ of habeas
corpus in the District Court Of Lan
caster County, Nebraska, which court
upon granting said writ, returned me
to the Insanity Board here in Cass
County, as provided by. statute and
upon a hearing before said . board I
was discharged and found not to be
insane. ." i V t ; . '
In the guardianship matter in the
county' court,-many (notices were run
and my name appeared in the legal
publications as insane and I feel that
I would be doing an Injustice to my
self and to my son it I did not pub
lish the truth about the matter.
When I was illegally committed by
the insanity board I had an estate of
between $4,500 and $?,000 with in
debtedness of about $2,000 and my
estate now consists of f 1,9 69- A
rather heavy penalty for a citizen of
the state and county to pay for the
mistakes of public officers! Adv.

QUARRIES OPENING
Welcome news came to our city
this week when it was learned that
the quarries would open up for a
good long run again. The quarries
that are in operation will employ a
good many men, and what began to
have a rather black outlook is again
turning to sunshine for the depend
ents on the quarry work here.
A large mechanical shovel i3 be
ing set up at the south quarries to
strip dirt, and we understand that
several car loads of rip rap" and
crushed stone will be shipped out in
the next few weeks. We are also told
that the rip rap work will continue
most of the winter months, as the
river construction men expect to pile
the stone up and have it in readiness
when the spring thaw opens work on
the river again.
This is certainly good news to
business men and workers alike, and
all hope that the good work con
tinues. Weeping Water Republican.
