Have Added New Bus
The Missouri Pacific Bus Transpor
tation company have added a new
bus to their line which operates be
tween Omaha and Kansas City. The
new bus leaves Omaha at three in the
morning, passing through Union at
4:10 and arriving in Kansas City at
0:18 the same forenoon, a run of only
a little over six hours, which is very
gopd average time. On the return
trip, they leave Kansas City at one
minute before noon, and go through
Union at 7:05 in the evening, arriv
ing in Omaha at 8:15, a considerably
longer time than is consumed on the
night trip going down, when there is
little traffic on the highway to inter
fere with their progress.
Bus travel has been good the past
year and increased facilities are need
ed to handle the large number who
seem to prefer to travel by bus.
From Wednesday's Dally
The body of Louis Rotter, 90, a
long time resident of the city, was
discovered this morning lifeless in
the small home that he maintained
in "Happy Hollow" in the east partj
of the city.
Neighbors had remarked that they
had not noticed any signs of life
around the small house that Mr. Rot
ter occupied or smoke from the
chimney and accordingly Roy Tay
lor, residing east of the Rotter home,
decided to investigate. A visit to the
home disclosed the lifeless body of
Mr. Rotter on the floor of one room
of the home that he occupied.
The fact of the finding of the body
was reported at once to the author
ities and an investigation of the case
made and it was found that the aged
man had apparently been dead for
from twenty - four to forty - eight
hours.
The body was removed to the Sat
tier funeral home to await funeral
arrangements.
Mr. Rotter had made his home In
Plattsmouth since the year 1892,
he being an employe of the Burling
ton for a greater part of his lifetime
here but In late years he has been
retired and owing to his advanced
years unable to carry on his work,
aitnougn tor nis years he was very
active and almost every day was a
visitor in the business section of the
city.
Mr. Kotter is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Carl Hanasek, of this
city as well as a brother, John Rot
ler, aiso residing nere. 'mere are a
