Loses a Fine Horse.
II. C. McMaken had the misfortune
to lose one of his fine black draft
horses Saturday morning. The animal
was a fine one and very valuable being
well broken and weighing in the neigh
borhood of 1700 pounds. The horse had
been used in hauling a heavy load out
to the Glendale cemetery south of
Cedar Creek Thursday, and appeared
to be somewhat sick on the way back
growing rapidly worse and collapsing
just as sixth street was reached. A
half hour's hard work was necessary to
get it on its feet after which it seemed
to be getting all right and continued to
improve until Friday night when its
condition was worse though not alarm
ing. However the animal collapsed
early Saturday morning and died in a
short time. Mr. McMaken's friends
are very sorry to learn of his hard luck
as this breaks up the fine team which
he had bought for his heaviest work
sometime ago. Col. McMaken is out
of the city at present, being on a va
cation to the coast and he will doubt
less receive the news with great regret.
Omaha, headed by Henry R. Gering,
were in the city during this week mak
ing arrangements for a special train
from this city to Omaha next Monday
when things will be doing at the den.
Enongh namc3 were secured to guar
antee the train, which will be met at
the station in Omaha by street cars
and the visitors taken direct to Aksar
ben headquarters. (The happenings
will be announced later). The party
consisted of Messrs. Charles A. Malon
ey John Drexel, E. P. Brant and Mr.
Gering, and these gentlemen informed
the News-Herald that a large delega
tion of the Omaha Aksarbcn might be
expected to attend Tlattsmouth's big
carnival.
Drowned in Platte River.

Platte found the corpse of August Kuin
who was drowned while trying to cross
to Cedar Island last Friday. Mr. Kuin
intended to take a look at the island
which he thought of buying and in at
tempting to wade across was drowned,
as he was a poor swimmer. The sheriff
was notified and arriving on the scene
decided an inquest was not necessary
ar.d ordered the body brought to town
where it wa3 prepared for burial at
Streight's undertaking rooms. Mrs.
Kuin, who with one child surviving her
husbar.d, anived in the city and the fu
neral was held from there this morning
at 9:30.
: Mr. Kuin was born in France and
was 40 years old. He had been form
erly employed at the South Omaha
Packing houses but for the past six
months had resided on the old Van Horn
farm which is now the property of J.
P. Falter.
On a Boosting Trip.
County Commissioner Martin L. Fred
rich took a day off Friday and attended
the Elmvcod chautauqua where he
will help to boost our Merchants Car
nival and incidentaly meet a large num
ber of voters who will be glad to sup
port him in the race for reelection.
Martin is a fine citizen with an envia
ble official record and if the people want
a man of unswerving honesty who will
Bee to it that none of the county mon
ey is extravagantly or needlessly spent
they should vote for Martin Fredrich
whose natural business qualifications
and vast experience in affairs especial
ly fits him for the post to which he aspires.
Children Sent to Home.
In county court Friday Judge Beeson
made a decision which took the children
of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Anton from their
parents' care and put them in the home
for the friendless. The father had
been out of work and on a drink spree,
leaving the care of the little ones on
the hands of his wife. The lady not
being equal to the task the officers de
cided to place the children where they
would have the opportunity to find a
good home. The poor mother did not
seem to comprehend the situation and
was heart broken at the separation.
