Greenwood
Wins Another
Malcolm Team Meets Defeat on
the Greenwood Diamond
Last Saturday.
Greenwood added another scalp last
Saturday, to her belt when vhe home
team copped the long end of a 3 to 2
score with Malcom as victim. The
game was loosely played, the terrific
heat making snappy work an impossi
bility, a total of fourteen errors being
charged up to the players. At the end
of the fifth inning the score stood 3 to
0 and it looked as if the local bunch had
a walk-a-way but a f ingle, an error
and a hit batsman sent a man around
in Malcolm's half of the sixth while two
errors and a base on balls filled the
bases with visitors in the first half of
the ninth. Craig lost control and hit
the next batter forcing in the second
run and thd bases were still filled ith
no one out. On the batted ball the in
field workd a neat double play and the
Greenwood twirler settled down and
fanned the next batter for third out,
thus stopping what had appeared to be
a winning rally for the visiting team.
The score:

The Greenwood team with a number
of substitutes in the line, up went to
Cresco for a game on Sunday and came
' home with the score 6 to 3 in favor of
Cresco. The locals tried out a new
pitcher, Charles Helm. He was able to
hold out for one inning and daring his
stay on the slab the Cresco team con
nected with his left handed offerings
for a total of six runs. That ended the
"Swede." Jame going and the latter
succeded in holding his opponents to
one solitary hit for the remainder of
the game.

Has Operation
Performed
Clyde Adamson recently had an oper
ation performed by Dr. E. D. Cummins
to straighten the little finger on his
left hand. About a year ago he had
the little finger badly crushed and it
has since caused much trouble in work
ing as it stayed bent. Clyde has not
much hopes of getting the finger in
normal condition, but he thought, he
would try it and possibly overcome the
necessity for amputation.

Tom says the building will be a "Bung

The Nebraska Telephone Company is
now located in their new offices over

When the people of this city and Cass
county become acquainted with the
completeness and promptness and effi
ciency of service, they will doubtless
appreciate what the Nebraska Tele
phone Company has done and are doing
in the improved service given. In
building the exchange in this city, the
entire plant has been built according to
to the best known methods in telephone
engineering. The old method of string
ing hundreds of wires about the city
has been supplanted by a complete new
cable system extending to almost every
portion of the city. In the business
portion of the city cable terminals are
used on the buildings, and insulated
wire is used thus reducing the danger
from electrical storms, as well as the
inconvenience to the patrons, which has
heretofore followed such storms, to the
very minimum. In placing their phones
in residences the company do the wir

The Loco Disease ol Live Slock in
Tho West.
The so-called loco disease of horsep,
sheep and cattle has been for many
years a source of serious loss to stock
men in the west, who have generally
attributed it to certain weeds eaten by
the stock. Investigations by the United
States department of Agriculture have
not only confirmed the supposition as to
the poisonous effect of these plnnta,
but have resulted In tho discovery and
identification of barium as a definite
poisonous element in them. Feeding
experiments establishing the fact that
the plants are responsible for the dis
ease were carried on under field and
corral conditions by Dr. D. Dwight
Marsh, while the discovery of barium
was made in the laboratory by Dr. A.
C. Crawford.
The loco weeds are a class of legum
inous plants of which the principal ones
are the purple loco weed (Astragalus
mollissimus) and the rattle-weed (Ara-
gallus lamberti.) One or both of these
prevail to a greater or less extent over
an area including all or parts of Mon
tana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas,
Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico,
Texas and Oklahoma.
The characteristic symptoms of the
disease are a slow, staggering gait
rough coat, staring, vacant look, and
emaciation. The affected animals have
hallucinations, cannot be led or backed,
show more or less lack of muscular co
ordination, gradually lose flesh and die.
The affection comes on in a slow and
cumulative manner, and there is no
possibility of animals becoming immune
by continually eating the plants.
The proverb "An ounce of preven
tion is worth a pound of cure" applies
to this disorder. Although good re
sults can often be obtained by the treat
ment of locoed animals, the most ef
fective way of dealing with the trouble
is to keep animals from eating the loco
plants. Wherever practicable the

The above shows the score by innings
of a very interesting game of base ball
between Plattsmouth and the Frater
nal Union base ball team of Omaha,
Nebr., Saturday afternoon.
The teams were very evenly matched
the score running closely throughout
the game.
For the home team McCauley pitched
all except the first two innings, Richey
holding down the box in those, while
Jensen performed likewise forJOmaha.
They were all on their mettle and bat
five hits were taken off Richey and
McCauley and the Plattsmouth hittera
secured eight off of Jensen.
The backstops for both teams did
excellent work. McCrearis, shortstop
was unfortunate in getting his finger
hurt but he continued the game with
but two errors one of which was the.
indirect cauae of a score for Platts
mouth.
The basemen all played, errorless
game with the exception of Gould who
fell down twice.
The fielders all played their positions
well, especially Beal for Plattsmouth.
who captured several difficult flies.
Fitzgerald made a corking two base
hit in the fifth which brought in a score
from second.
The Omaha players seemed to be a.
trifle weak at bat but made a number
of very smooth plays in the field, one s
double from third to second to first be
ing especially brilliant. One of the
pleasant features of the game was the
absence of roughness and rag chewing.
The next game here will probably be
on July 5 as the home team plays at
Louisville on Ju'y 3rd at the celebra
tion. The boys hope to secure Manley
for the 5th.
