Marshall T. Harrison, Former
Representative, Has Narrow
Escape From Dea.h.
A special to the Omaha Bee from
Nebraska City, under date of Ncjwho tr8t that hein 80m bfl ab,e
vember 25, says: Marshall T. Har
rison, who served In the legislature
as a representative between Cass
and Otoe counties and who is one of
the largest farmers and stock rais
ers of this county and who resides
near Dunbar, had a thrilling ex
perience a few days ago, which he
will never forget and in which he
came near losing his life.
He bought several cars of hogs
down in Missouri some months ago
to fatten and put on the market and
one of the "rail splitters" got out
of the pen and made its escape into Reardon filled himself to the brim
a cornfield, where it was allowed to I with Thanksgiving exhuberance in
remaln for about six weeks. Mr. eluding' much red eye, and then
Harrison finally concluded to go out; started! on a prowling expedition
and try to locate the missing anl- without,' any apparently definite pur
mal. Because of the recent rains and pose in; mind as to what he really
wet Bpells the ground was very soft did want. In his wanderings about
and every step he sank into the the city he strayed Into the resi
earth from four to six inches. He'dence of James Hickson, who lives
located the animal near the center! on Main street Just east of the Per
of the field and no sooner had it kins House, and proceeded to spread
spied him than it started at him at
full speed. He ran for a short dis
tance and fell down, but managed to
get to his feet before the animal
reached him. He was chased about
the field for nearly half an hour but
could not get near the fence to get
out of its reach.
Finally, feeling that he was giving
out he sidestepped as the wild ani
mal made for him and fell on its
back and held fast. They sank into
the mud and he was afraid to loosen
his hold, knowing that the animal
would attack and perhaps kill him.
He held fast and yelled for help,
but no answer came, and this cry
for help he kept. up for. over two
hours, when it attracted the atten
tion of George Holmes, a farmer
residing a mile and a half away.
He went to investigate and rescued
Mr. Harrison, after tying the hog
with a halter which he carried. Mr.
Harrison was confined to. his bed
for some days and the hog has been
killed.
Walkover for Local Team.
The football game yesterday be- employment on the section and prom
tween the Plattsmouth team and the lsed if ,e B. be would go to work
Excelsiors of Omaha was a walk
over for the local team. The Om
aha boys were outclassed at every
point and could not commence to
play with the Plattsmouth team. The
final score was
of ' Plattsmouth.
46 to 0, In favor
The viBltors were
far too light to make a successful
stand against the locals and besides
this being the case, they were out
played in every way. The game was
altogether too easy for the locals to
keep Interested as they scored when
ever they desired to do so. The
local team played brilliant football
and every member on It 13 entitled
to praise for the skill they displayed.
The attendance was not as much as
could be desired nor as largo as the
playing of the locals deserved. The
visitors did not kick on,the team
and left well; satisfied as they con
ceded they were outclassed at all
points,

The many friends of Mrs. Nathan
P. Schultz weie shocked this morn
ing to learn of her demise after an
illness of very brief duration. It
is but a few days since the husband
of this estimable lady passed away
and the shock attending his death
was one of the leading causes for
the wife's decline and death. Ever
since the death she had b6en In a
condition which worried her child
ren, although It was not realized
until a few days ago Just how criti
cal her condition was. During their
long married life they had lived
very happily and when her life mate
passed into the Great Beyond, her
soul seemed to prepare itself to fol
low him. So she sank to Bleep this
morning Just as the grey of dawn
had passed away and the day
awoke.
To the cnudren of the deceased
her death came as a very great
shock, made doubly so by the Iobs
of their father. They had never
known of aught but kindness and
help from their loving mother and
the affections which only a mother
can bestow had more than endeared
her to them. Always loving, kind
and gentle, she had been their haven
of refuge when the stormy winds of
life blew hard upon them and into
her loving and attentive ear they
had always been ablo to pour their
troubles and receive in return the
best of advice. To loso her so sud

saddened that a pull Heemed to
spread all over the world, but on
meeting some friend who spoke
cheerily for a minute or two, If only
upon different matters, you hnve.felt
yourself wonderfully lightened?
Even a child dropping Into your
house on an errand has brought In
a ray of sunshine which did not de
part when he went his way again. It
Is a blessed thing to speak a cheer
ful word when you can. "Every
heart knoweth Its own bitterness"
the world over, and thoso who live
In palaces are not exempt, and good
words to such hearts are "like ap

times to speak a pleasant word when
the shadows rest on our hearts; but
nothing will tend more to lighten
our spirits than doing it. When
you have no opportunity to speak a
cheering word, you can often aend a
full beam of sunshine to the heart
of some sorrowing friend by writing
a good, warmhearted letter.
