Shortly after reaching that locality the truck driven by Eden came along and the ! sheriff started in pursuit. The shad- chase continued until near the Stander farm when Robert Mrasek, riding with his father, urged him to stop as there was something wrong, he having glimpsed the horse as it was hurled from the highway by the force of the impact.

Isaac Dye and Family. Patrons of Post Office Should be Sure of Address Co-operation of the Public Is Asked in Matter of Arranging Mail to Be Handled. Every reasonable effort should be made to get your correspondents and publishers to use your complete ad dress. Complete address means: street and number, if you receive city delivery service; box and number, if you receive mr.il through a locked box: rural route and number, if you receive rural delivery service; or gen eral delivery, if you have no other means of receiving mail. Plattsmouth patrons who mail statements and other kinds of mail matter for local delivery should in sure prompt delivery by using com plete addresses. The post office de partment offers mailing list correc tion service at lc per name. The minimum charge is 25c. Instructions have been issued to the Plrttsmouth post office clerks relative to the distribution of incom ing mail, as follows: 1. Clerks will not be required to memorize the names and addresses of Plattsmouth post office patrons. 2. Incoming mail which is com pletely addressed must be promptly delivered to the correct carrier or box. in accordance with the address. 3. Incoming mail which is not completely addressed will be deliver ed promptly to the correct carrier or box, IF THE DISTRIBUTING CLERK IS CERTAIN OF THE CORRECT ADDRESS. 4. All mail about hich the dis tributing clerk has any doubts as to the correct distribution, due to lack of complete address on the mail it self, wfll be given to the directory clerk for addressing and later de livery. (As much as possible, the de livery time for directory service mail will be little later than for complete ly addressed mail.) Effective October 8, 1941. EXPLAINS POSTAL PLAN Postmaster Milo W Price, who has been interested in the last few weeks in the plans for the adoption of a general plan of addresses for the patrons of the post office, was the speaker at Rotary this week. The large number of new people here as well as the shifting population makes it necessary that the proper street addresses or post office box num bers be supplied if the delivery of mail is to be assured. In the past with a general stable population it had been possible for the clerks in the office to recognize and deliver the mail to the proper person but this was not required as the rules are that all mail must have the proper addresses if it is to be de livered.
