A new Burlington time card takes effect Sunday, dropping trains 178 and 179 and shifting No 9 the fast train to run between Creston and Council Bluffs with a later Mills County passage. No 10, the late east bound night train, will skip Glenwood and Malvern easing Omaha theater trips. The train leaves Omaha at 11 40, via Plattsmouth, reaching Glenwood 7 2 54 and Malvern 3 13.

June Fickel investigated with lantern and gun, fired, and the horses were found untied with gates open, prompting neighbor help and a search. The thief remains at large.
