From Tuesday's Daily, Kepoi ts received this morning from the home of Lee Allison, south of this city and near Murray, are to the effect that he Is lying there at the point of death suffering from In- urles presumably inflicted by a team which he had driven to town yester day afternoon. Mr. Allison who is known to nearly every man, woman and child in the city came in yester day to do some trading, driving a team which he recently secured and which he had not been driving ex cept for a few times. He left the city In the early evening and drove to his home, driving into the horse lot. It Is presumed that he got the team unhitched from the buggy with out trouble as they were free when the accident was discovered but the harness was still on them. It was after "supper w hen Mr. Allison was discovered lying in the horse lot with his breast mashed in and otherwise in a badly injured condition. The horses were standing about In the lot with the harnesses still upon their backs. Mr. Allison was unable to talk and could make no definite statement as to what had caused the trouble nor as to anything he had done after entering the lot. He was taken to the house and Dr. B. F, Brendel of Murray summoned to his assistance. Dr. Brendel arrived within a short time and discovered that Mr. Alli son's condition was decidedly criti cal. He found that the breast had been caved in, the breast bone brok en and that the ribs had been torn loose from it. Apparently he was sufferlug also from Internal Injuries. Dr. Brendel made him as comfort able as possible and later came to this city. Ho states that the chances for recovery are not good owing to Mr. Allison's advanced age and his enfeebled condition. For some time past he has been suffering from ill health and this Injury coming on top of the other Illness promises to be final. Lee Allison is one of the most widely known men In Cass county and has a great many friends who will regret exceedingly to hear of the accident which has befallen him He has lived here for all his life and has long been an active farmer and horseman. For many years he has been noted for his prowness as a horseman ana wnen me oicycie -fever was at Us height, he won considerable distinction throughouv this section of the country by the raceB which he ran with a team of running horses against bicycle riders These races were daring and In them he displayed many qualities which stamped him as a bold and nervy driver. Of recent years hla health had been such that he did not Indulge in these races any more but he still retained much of his recklessness when horses were concerned. It-Is this recklessness which has probably led to his fatal Injury.

Young, Jr. Joe Cook came In this morning from his home south of the city and took occasion to call at the Journal office, bringing good tidings from our friend F. M. Young, Jr., who is now located at Degraff, Minn. Mr. Cook received a letter this morning from Mr. Young conveying the Intel ligence that he ana his wife are well and that they were in Jove with their new home. He enclosed some sam ples of fall and spring wheat and oats, and they effectually put an end to the wild tales that all the grain in that locality has been destroyed by drouth. The several specimens which were sent are very fine and indicate that Degraff and Its locality Is cer tainly blessed this year with good crops. The wheat is good sized, good heads and long ones and gives every promise of being an abundant crop. The oats also makes a very fine show ing and Mr. Young is to be congrat ulated upon the excellent prospects which these specimens show Is In sight for that country. Mr. Young also writes that his wife has, been raising turkeys and now has a fine flock of the fowls. She has fifty young ones which Is far more than she has ever been able to raise here. On the whole the letter Is a most optimistic one and shows that Mr. Young and his good wife are getting along nicely, and that they are sat isfied with the country and its pros pects. The many friends of these estimable people throughout this county will be more than gratified at their success and trust that they will always find things as pleasant and enjoyable a? In the past.

Plattsmouth people who have been looking and hoping for rain were again disappointed last night and this morning when heavy showers passed around to the south and east of the city while scarcely a sprinkle fell at this place. The rain In the city did not amount to more than enough to dampen the ground. The rainfall south of the city In the neighborhood of Union is reported to have been heavier and enough fell to make the roads muddy. From this city south, the rain seems to have increased iu volume. Across the river In Iowa It was ap parent that good rains fell over in Mills county, the rain being visible on the bluffs. Malvern and that lo cality enjoyed a hard rain and the base ball game which was to have been played there this morning had to be postponed until this afternoon owing to the muddy condition of the grounds. This afternoon Indications were that showers were taking place tver western Iowa also. North of this city the rainfall In Omaha and between that point and here w as con siderably heavier than here and the cars on No. 6 showed the signs of having struck quite a downpour. Farmers from the country state that rain is needed now but that corn can stand several days yet without damage to amount to anything. The things needing rain now worse than anything else Is the pastures and the grass crops which have suffered a good deal and which are rapidly dy ing out. The small grain is now ready for harvest and within a few ays this will commence. Some speci mens brought In Indicate that both wheat and oats will be much better thought that some time ago and will produce a good crop. Several spel mens of wheat-from the farm of Claud Everett near Union show up remarkably well, the heads being large and heavy with a good stand In the field. The Improvement has been satisfying to those who thought the crop was more than a partial fail ure several days since. The weather bureau predicts for today fair weather and with unset tled weather tomorrow. This would Indicate chances for showers tonight and tomorrow. No heavy rainfall la In sight. In County Court.
