GRANTS ELECTRIC FRANCHISE
City of Plattsmouth AccOrds Privilege
of the Streets to Charles c.
ParmeIe and Assigns.

/ PLATTSMoUTH, Neb.. March 21.-(Spe-
cial. )-Plattsmouth is soon to have a first
class electric and gas light and heating
plant. The city council has granted a
franchise to Charles @. PaFmele Of this
city. his successors and assigns, for a
period of twenty-five years, the right to
enter upon the streets, avenues and alleys
of the city of P~lattsmouth, and erect poles
and wires to conduct electric currents and
to lay underground pipes to conduct gas
and heat for lighting and heating purposes,
and to maintain and operate a plant for
the manufacture, supply and delivery of
electricity, gas and heat.
Attorney Jesse L. Root informed the
council that the United States court of APP
peals at st. Louis had recently disposed of
the case of the bondholders of the old light
plant against J. G. Richey Of this city
and had sustained the decision of Judge
w. H.. Munger of the federal court. While
this decision does not settle the case of
the bon1holders against the city Of Platts-
mouth, II is a very favorable indication
that the city will win, as the same ques-
ton is involved in each case. Judge Mum
ger held that the contract between the city
OF Plattsmouth and the bondholders in the
east was simply a lease and not a bill of
sale, as claimed by the bondholders.

Sheriff Bauman Thursday evening claiming
that he VA wanted in San Francisco for

sober and refused to talk about the San

might have talked considerably the night
before. while drunk, but when questioned
about the Walnut street murder said he
had nothing to say. He freely admitted
that he was the same man who, as James
Flax. had confessed to robbing a train on
the B. & NJ, but said he was drunk at
the time and didn't know what he was
talking about. The San Francisco officers
have been notified and he is being held
to await further developments which are
not likely to occur.

Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-

All druggists sell charcoal in one form or

the most for the money is stuart's Alb

Wit that Juror Charles Carlisle in a CONVEX
