BROTHERS
FIGHT DUEL
Urged on By Their Elder Brother
They Fight Desperately.
THE OLDER BROTHER
WAS INTOXICATED
Fight with Rifle and Pocket Knives
for His Amusement.
GEORGE, la., Nov. 24. At the
home of their mother, a widow, Peter
and Jans Greenwold are lying seriously
wounded by reason of a duel which
they engaged in a few (lays ago. The
lads are 15 and 17 years old respect
ively.
There seems to be no special gricv
ance that the boys had against each
other, but it is said that their older
brother, a man about 24 years old,
was in the habit of getting under the
influence of liquor and then getting
the boys to fight for his amusement.
Peter the younger of the two boys
is suffering from a severe cut an inch
deep which just missed the cartoid
artery, while Jans is suffering from a
cut which laid his scalp open four
inches. Both boys fought like mad
men during the encounter and only
desisted when too weak from loss of
blood to continue.

soft and absolutely comfortable, sitting,
standing or walking. These new D.

CLASS COLORS, BLUE AND WHITE
WERE
Toasts were Responded to and the Event
will be long
There comes a time in the lives of
all of u when we realize that it is
good to be alive and live in Platts
mouth. The time came last night
and the Daily News scribe is giving
thauks in advance of the morrow
that he lives in this good town and
was sufficiently alive to be present
at one of the most delightful social
functions it has been his pleasure to
attend for years many. We are re
ferring now to the reception tendered
by the Wescotts, father and two sons,
Cliff and Hilt, to the Senior Girls and
the Junior hoys, representing the
two winning basket ball teams of
the Plattsniouth high school. Some
time ago the Wescotts announced
that they would give an oyster supper
to the two winning basket ball teams
in the contest for the championship
of the Plattsniouth high school. The
Senior Girls and the Junior Hoys
carried off the honors and last night
the Wescotts proceeded to make good.
Invitations had been sent out for
the guests to appear at the Wescott
store last night at 8 o'clock and at
the appointed time all were there
with the exception of one couple but
they arrived in due time and the feast
was on., served by Cliff and Hilt,
assisted by Glen Rawls, and we want
to say right here that if the Hotel
Riley wants the services of competent
waiters at any time they could do
worse than engage the services of
the three mentioned. They under
stand the business from start to
finish.
Let us take you to the scene of
good cheer, dear indulgent reader,
and show you just how it was done.
In the first place the hosts had gone
to a whole lot of trouble to clear
away the goods from two tables
in the center of the store and then
covering the tables with snowy linen
they proceeded to decorate the same
Tin) tables were laid for sixteen and
the decorations were the class colors,
blue and white, represented by blue
four-in-hand neckties and large white
chrysanthemums. Upon the neckties
had been embroidered the monogram
letters "P. II. S.'XPlattsmouth High
School.) In front of each plate was a
pretty card upon the buck of which
was the name of the guest, and it
was the duty of each one to find his
or her place at the table. At each
end of the table was placed a basket
the standards supporting them being
draped in the class colors and the
class scheme was further carried out
by a basket bull suspended over the
table also bearing the colors. Banners
were hung where they added greatly
to the beauty of the decorations
and as the guests were seated they were
given an opportunity to admire the
good taste displayed by the artistic
young men who were responsible
for all that had happened and was
going to happen.
I'ollowing the spread came speeches,
Prof. Gamble in a most happv manner
officiating as toastmastcr, but that
was probably due to the fact that his
charming wife seated beside him gave
him moral support. At all events
he earned off his part jn such a manner
that no criticisms will be made, al
though we do think he showed exe
crable judgment in calling upon the
writer of this for a speech. Toasts
were responded to as follows: "The
Girls," by John Falter, who proceeded
to tell us what he knew pardon us,
not all he knew about the charming
members of the gentler and better
sex. John may not be old in years
but he has a wise head on his shoul
ders and he never made a slip. "Can

Mattic Larsoti and that young lady

the boys blush with pleasure. If

handled by Henry I.genbergcr am

the defeat of his team. He displayet

it, too. "High School Athletics" was
handled by Mr. Harrison, the atl
letic instructor, and he did it in the
same good way he has taught the
boys ami girls in a thorough manner,
As the toastmastcr remarked in in
troducing the popular speaker and
instructor, Mr. Harrison has accom
plished something novel in school
athletics at Plattsniouth. He has
more than made expenses. Not
only that, he has succeccdcd in in
stilling the proper school spirit uutil
totlay all feel that it is an honor to
be a member of the Plattsniouth high
school. W. C. Hanisey, one of the
invited guests, ami an "old" high
school boy, was called upon to display
his eloquence and although the toast
master did hint that the handsome
county attorney would undoubtedly
fall down in the effort, he showed that
he knew what to say ami how to say it.
His remarks were appropriate to the
occasion and were well received.
A. K. Quinn of the News was given
a chance to air his eloquence, but in
the presence of so much that goes to
embarrass the average scribe his
tongue altered and how he got
through he does not know. The so
ciety editor of the Journal, Miss
Larson, assisted him to his seat and
extended sympathy. "The boys"

speech of the evening ami at the close
of his most interesting address read
a few spasms which he claimed wert
original. They were undoubtedly
original with some one, but if Alfred
Austin, poet laureate of England,
tlid not write the same thing some
time in his early life, we are mightily
mistaken. Here are the lines. Read
them for yourselves ami then pass
judgment:

We are proud of our Klrls unci proud of our

While the hungry guests were en
joying the good things provided by
their generous hosts, Mr. C. K. Wes
cott manipulated the phonograph
with a master hand and the sweet
strains that came Hunting to the ears
of the guests were delightfully pleas
ing. At the close of the speeches a
vote of thanks was given the Wes
cotts, all rising at the signal of the
toastmastcr.
It is such events that make us glad
we are alive and live in Plattsniouth.
Dear, Old City Dads.
Please turn on the water and wash
down the streets. Honest, now, it is
something of an effort for people to
get around town and do their shopping
and any old way you may look at it
the streets would be vastly improved
by the use of a little water. This
town is sure a humdinger and it must
not be permitted to lose its good name
for "cleanliness."
