The "Stay Satisfactory "Range
FOR SALE BY PITMAN & DAVIS,
Murray,
Wm. Loughridge and nephew, Mat
thew Loughridge, of New York City,
were in Plattsmouth Monday. Mr.
Loughridge, jr., arrived in Murray Sun
day, and his time was limited for his
visit with Murray relatives, as his busi
ness demanded his attention in other
parts, consequently he was seeing as
much of Nebraska as possible during
his short stay. Mr. Loughridge is em
ployed as draftsman with one of the
large construction companies in the east
and will probably make frequent visits
to the west in the future. This was his
first visit to Murray, and was the first
meeting of uncle and nephew, as the
elder Mr. Loughridge left his native
land of Ireland many years ago, and
has since made his home in this country
having resided on his present home
place for 25 years or more. The visit
was a most pleasant one, the only re
gret being that it was very brief, the
visitor departing for the east Tuesday.
Closing Out
I have decided to close out my entire
line of day goods, boots and shoes and
all furnishings just as soon as possible,
and discontinue carrying these lines of
goods, and place in a larger line of
staple and fancy groceries. In order to
do this I will make some of the lowest
prices ever offered in Murray on this
line of goods as long as the present
stock lasts. Everything will be sold at
or even below first cost. Call -in and
let us prove this to you.

Return From Ireland
Mrs. James Holmes and mother, Mrs.
Jos. Shera and Jos. Keenan, who have
been visiting in the old country for the
past two months, returned home Wed
nesday afternoon. Mrs. Shera stop
ping off in Omaha for a few days visit
before returning to her home near
Rock Bluffs. They report a most pleas
ant visit both on board the steamer and
in the old country, the native iand of
Mrs. Shera. Mr. Keenan made a very
much sight seeing tour of the old
couutries during his stay, visiting in
many of the foreign countries, Mrs.
bhera and Mrs. Holmes remaining in
Ireland. Mrs. Holmes says that after
landing on the east side of the big pond
the very sight of a ship made her sick,
and she held a dread of the return trip.
It will be remembered that Mr. Holmes
went to Chicago several weeks ago to
meet Mrs. Holmes on the return trip,
which would certainly indicate that Jim
was almost as sick as Mrs. Holmes, but
his ailment being of an entirely different
nature. All is different now, just
notice the smile on his face.
District Court Adjourns.
The district court adjourned last
night at the ending of the water-course
trial, wherein Dyer sued Zeigler for

home, taking a number of cases under
advisement, among which wa3 the one
above mentioned.

Thresher in a Bad Wreck.
I Jos. Lloyd, of Plattsmouth, who has
i for the past few few years been run
ning a threshing machine m thus section
of the county, met with a very serious
accident on Thursday of last week. He
was passing along the highway over
near the farm of I. S. White, making a
change to set the machine to a new job,
and was moving the entire outfit alone,
being on the engine and pulling the
separator and water wagon, and ap
proaching a very steep grade he had a
fear of passing down, but by careful
management the botton of the hill was
reached in safety, and feeling greatly
relieved he started up the other side,
never fearing an accident from this
source, but as he neared the top of the
steep encline, the traction belt of the
engine broke and the whole load started
gfck, all of which was piled up at the
bottom, greatly damaging the entire
outfit, and has since-been lying where
the accident occurred, awaiting the ar
rival of repairs, which to replace will
cost Mr. Lloyd in the neighborhood of
$175, besides several days, valuable time
at work. Mr. Lloyd remained with the
engine until the last, and is really
thankful to get out of the, affair with
his life. Mr. Lloyd is certainly meet
ing with his share of bad luck with his
threshing outfit, as it will be remem
bered that only last season he was quite
seriously injured himself and laid up
for several weeks with a broken limb
from the result.
Good Coon Dog.
Many times during the past few days
has the sporting editor of the Journal
been asked, "What qualities of a good
coon dog?" First, we would say a good
scent, second, a good trailer and third,
a good tree climber, such as would save
his master the trouble, especially when
the bark of the tree is rough and the
limbs are small. W. H. McDaniel will
bear us up in regard the last named
quality being very essential. Rufus,
Rustus, Johnson Brown has all the
good qualities except the latter, and he
is too wise to attempt to climb the tree.
We understand that Murray has an or
ganilation known as a "Coon Hunters
Association," and for further informa
tion we will respectfully refer all par
t es to W. H. McDaniel, president of
the association.
They Intend to Stay
Joseph Adams, of the Adams-Gillis-pie
Grain Company, of Mynard, was in
the city Saturday, and in conversation
with a reporter of this paper said: "In
regard to ths effort which is being made
to freeze us out of the grain business in
Mynard, and as regards the elevator
there, I would like to let the people
know that it will take more than 'hot
air' to get us out. We can be moved,
but it will take a lot of hard dollars to
effect the removal."
Joseph Vetersnek and family who
have been visiting with friends and re!
ativer in the city and vicinity for a
month past, returned to their home at
Liberal, Kansas, this afternoon.

The Terrible Accident Oc
curred Near Seward
Tuesday Morning
The following story of the killing of
George L. Graves, is taken from the
Lincoln Evening Star of Tuesday. The
unfortunate man has visited in Platts
mouth on several occasions, but his last
visit was his attendance at the funeral
of Elmer Cole. The deseased was a
cousin of Mrs. A. W. Atwood of this
city:
"Burlington freight train No. 47 a
local from Ravenna, eastbound, was
wrecked at 10 o'clock this morning two
miles east of Seward. Engineer G. L.
Graves being killed and August Niles,
the fireman being severeiy injured.
Both men were residents of Lincoln.
Engineer Graves was instantly killed,
being carried over the fifteen foot em
bankment with his engine. In addition
to his being crushed the first cause of
his death, he was badly scalded. Graves
lived at 1246 T. street. He was forty
years of age, leaves a wife, two daugh
ters and a son. The wreck was caused
by the train running into a car loaded
with rails on which no flag had been
set by the gang of sectionmen. The
engine and fifteen cars were thrown in
to the ditch.
"Section foreman, Frank Pickerel!,
of Seward, this morning went with his
crew of workmen to repair the track
east of the city. He had taken with
him a pushcar, loaded with steel rails,
which were intended to be used along
the track. They were working just
around a curve, and it is alleged the
crew forgot to flag the train. When
freight train No. 47 came around the
curve in sight of the section crew it
wes too late to throw off the rails and
push the car or to stop the train.' The
train crashed iuto ,the push car and the
train was thrown off the track."
"An extra engine had been coupled
onto the rear of the train to help push
it over the Germantown hill. In going
around the curve the front engine was
not in sight of the rear engine, and the
latter kept on pushing until about six
freight cars were thrown off the track.
When the engineer and fireman were
removed from under the engine, it was
found that a brake lever had been
driven through the engineer's head.
The Threshermen Helped
'A number of threshers were at work
near by and witnessed the wreck. They
ran to the scene of the accident and
assisted the crew of the rear engine
and the section men in getting the un
fortuate engineer and fireman from the
wreckage. Both the engineer and fire
man had remained in the cab. They
were both crushed under the wreck of
heavy iron, while a brake lever had
pinioned the engineer by entering a
cheek on one side and coming out near
the base of the brain on the other side.
When found the fireman wasunconsious
The bodies of Engineer Graves and
the injured fireman were placed on a
hand car and taken to Seward. The
Burlington physician, Dr. D. D. Potter
was immediately called to attend fire
man Niles, Engineer Graves had been
a resident of Lincoln for many years.
He was a brother-in-law to Miss Fannie
Kimes, the private clerk of Postmaster
E. R. Sizer. She resides on 13b J,
street."
The Fireman's Story
"August N?les, of 229 North Eleven
th street, the fireman on train No. 47,
was badly injured when the engine was
derailed, his colar bone broken and his
head and nose cut, his back injured
severely and his neck so injured that he
was unable to move it when taken to
Everett's sanitarium. He was able to
speak however, and gave his version of
the wreck."
"We were coming down the hill with
the curve ahead of us. Graves the
engineer was on the side toward the
curve. He had not used steam for
about two miles. We were moving
along at a pretty good clip when I saw
Graves lean over and throw on the air.
That slackened our speed to about fif
teeen miles an hour. The next thing I
knew there was a terrific jolt and a rail
shot through the cab past my head.
The engine started down the embank
ment and the last I saw of Graves was
when he went down with the engine.
"The cab was torn off and I was
caught by it and thrown way out in the
mud to one side. Car after car, to the
number of fifteen, kept jumping the
track and landing in the ditch. First
one would come down and the next
would follow immediately behind it."
"The cause of the wreck was due to
the fact that the car of rails being used
by the trackmen was not flagged. I
could not see the car ahead of us at all
on account of the curve. Graves could
see it only when he went around the
curve, ihen he shoved on tne air.

Dowie, of Zion City fame, who passed
away some time since, is in the city

of office supplies which are manufact
ured at Zion City. Mr. Sloth is carry
ing a very fine line of office supplies, of
which he say? the Zion City printeries
turn out a complete and exhaustive
line. Mr. Sloth, in conversation with
a rejorter of this paper, says that the
lace-making department of the Zion
City works have been turned over to
the Marshall Field Company, who are
now operating it for their house. The
receiver who was 'appointed to straigh
ten up the affairs of the corporation,
has discontinued the publishing of the

are going to build a new tabernacle at
Zion City this fall, and that they are
opening a colony in Las Vegas county,
New Mexico, where they are expecting
to engage extensively in farming in
connection with the industries at Zion
City. The Dowicite faction have been
given the old tabernarle at Zion City,
who have John M. Lewis for overseer.
Waited a Little Too Long.

worked pretty hard yesterday and hav

APPLE CROP Tri
CASS COUNTY
Very Small as Compared With
Thai of a Year Ago.
The following is taken from the Lin
coln Evening News:
"Congressman Pollard was in the
city today visiting friends. He reports
that the entire production of the Pollard
orchards at Nehawka this year amount
ed to about '500 barrels of apples, prin
cipally Genitans and Grimes Golden.
The orchard comprises 200 acres and
contains about 12,000 trees. Row after
row for a quarter of a mile would yield
but about a peck of fruit.
Mr. Pollard estimates this at about
5 per cent of a crop. The entire yield
was purchased by a local wholesale
house. A full crop runs about 10,000
bushels, and gives a gross income from
$20,000 to $30,000."
