June 8, 1990

A prisoner in the Platte County jail, Victor Ray Abbott, 41, of Warrensburg was captured about three hours after he escaped from his cell about 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Officers said Abbott climbed through the ceiling to the first floor near the east door of the courthouse. With the help of a bloodhound from Lansing Correctional Institution, Abbott was tracked and captured about 5:30 in a rural area about five miles east of Platte City.

A 25 cent levy increase in the North Platte R-1 School District failed to receive the necessary two-thirds approval in Tuesday’s voting with the unofficial returns at 448 yes and 345 no. R-1 district voters did approve 501 to 294 a transfer of up to $23,000 in Proposition C funds to the operating fund for career ladder incentives. Due to the defeat of the levy, one class each in the second and third grades will be cut.
