Involved in the numerous thefts were two Iowa farm brothers, age 29 and 30, who were recently sentenced to the Iowa State Pen for 5 years after pleading guilty to a similar charge in Cass County, Iowa. The farmers were identified as Clause Hollesen, 30, of Minden. Ia., and Willie Hollesen, 29, of Oakland. A search of their farms lo cated in the Northeast part of Pottawattamie County, Iowa by Sheriff Solomon and Sheriff Bob Clark of Avoca, Iowa, )o cated many articles stolen from Cass County, Nebraska. The to tal recovered will run over the $4,000 mark and may go even higher as additional breakins and thefts are cleared. So far recovered was a 40 ft. portable corn elevator, with lift, valued at $800 which was stolen from the John P. Kaffenberger farm west of Plattsmouth on June 18, 1951. Positive identification was made by locating on the lift a special grease zerk fitting in stalled by Mr. Kaffenberger and by the location of a special brace bar on the elevator which was installed prior to its theft. Tent ative identification wTas made of a now 1951 M tractor stolen from the Stites Implement Co., Platts mouth, on the night of Sept. 3, 1951. The serial number had been knocked off and the motor Mrs. Charles Boedeker, Mrs. Glenn Boedeker and Mrs. O. E. Morris presented this five-tier birthday cake to Dr. G. H.

BREX Families Fried Chickens One hundred, thirty-five fried chickens, gallons of delicious baked beans and potato salad, and hundreds of dixie cups fed some 300 BREX families Sunday. It marked the second annual BREX picnic held at the city park at Plattsmouth. BREX employees and officials, along with their families and special guests enjoyed the noon fried chicken dinner, followed by an afternoon of recreation and entertainment. Sponsored jointly by the BRC of A and BREX, the picnic drew one of the largest crowds ever assembled for a picnic, despite early morning rain and a steady threat of rain throughout the day. r Among guests were members of the Plattsmouth high school band and Director Malvin Mc Kenney; Mayor and Mrs. Leo Meisinger, George Conis and of ficials from BREX. Among the BREX officials here were J. T. Powell, L. O. Gaylord, C. W. Grandy, H. D. Carmen, H. M. Nelson, D. M. Clifford and D. E. Whitestone. Following the fried chicken dinner, BREX paid recognition to the 24 retired employees from the shops who attended the event.

Positive iden tification was also made of a number of articles, which were part of the large loot, taken from farm home breakins on the night of Dec. 31, 1952. The homes were those of Roy Siek man of near Eagle, Levi Wilson near Avoc aand Louis Berbee near Union. Sheriff Solomon and Sheriff Bob Clark of Avoca, Iowa, are now in the process of running down the numerous articles taken. The two convicted farm ers owned and operated their own modern farms in Pottawat tamie County, Iowa, where most of the stolen articles have been found. The farmers' arrest came after a farmer in Cass County, Iowa identified at a farm auc tion a piece of farm machinery which had been stolen from his farm earlier. Investigation re vealed that the men had carried on the theft ring for over five years with possible assistance. Sheriff Solomon is now at tempting to link other unsolved breakins, whose theft pattern is similar to the ones committed by the two Iowa farmers. A trip to the Iowa State Pen will be made soon to question the men about their activities in this county. Prior to being taken to the Ioa State Pen other officers interested in questioning the pair were stopped from doing so 1 by officials of Cass County, Ia.

Charles Janecek was general chairman for the second annual picnic, but claims that he had help from nearly half the shop employees.

The high school band present ed a half-hour concert during the early afternoon program, while races and contests were conducted for the youngsters, while old timers got together to talk about BREX. Results and participation in the picnic indicates that the event will be looked upon as a must, come August 1955. Benefit Game Nets $121; Oldsters Bow "Old Timers" of baseball and softball wars here may have lost some of that playing ability . . . but they showed their hearts are. still in it. Proof that their hearts are in it comes from a financial report of the benefit softball game staged Friday night for the emergency polio appeal, and not from the 16-1 score. Those dropping the lopsided decision, "Old Timers" paved the way for a $121 net for the polio fund. Total receipts tor the game amounted to $143.80, with expenses for the field lights and softball listed at $22.80. That amount, along with pre viously reported contributions, and additional gifts, brings col lections in the polio fund drive here to well over $300. . Previously reported was $182, while latest contributors include Mary Peterson, Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Toman and T. H. Pollock, $5; Oak Leaf Extension Club, $2.88; Dr. and Mrs. P. T. Heine man, $2; Junior American Le gion Auxiliary, $1.20; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wolever, Florence Rhodes and O. A. Davis, $1. Special recognition also goes to a quintet of local establish ments for sale of advance soft ball tickets. Joe Kruntorad led sales with more than $44 col lected. Other participants were the Forty &-Eight, Tim's Bar, Ernie's Bar and Eagles Lodge.
