Rev. Steger Ran Over by Auto
While Out Taking Ride
Rev. Steger of St. Paul's Evangeli
cal church yesterday afternoon had a
very narrow escape from death or
very serious Injury, escaping with
merely a badly bruised left leg ana
a severe shock. The pastor had
taken a bicycle ride out in the coun
try to make a visit with one of his
parishoners and was on his way home
when the accident took place. It
occurred near the home of Matt Sui
ter, west of the city, and seems to
have been unavoidable.
The pastor was on his bicycle and
was riding with bis uead down as a
protection against the wind which
was blowing rather strongly against
him when he turned a corner and
ran into an automobile which was
going in the other direction. At the
point where the accident happened
it seems to have been nearly im
possible for the autoist to discover
him In time to stop but he tried to
turn aside Just as Rev. Steger dis
covered him and also tried to turn
out. As both machines turned in the
same direction the Inevitable colli
sion occurred and it resulted In hur
ling Rev. Steger to one side while
the auto passed over his left leg.
Quite fortunately the machine
with which Rev. Steger collided was
a light runabout of the Maxwell make
and it did not break any bones.
Aside from the bruises and the shock
which the collision occasioned the
reverend gentleman was uninjured.
He was brought to his home In this
city and a physician summoned who
made an examination, discovering
that no bones had been broken and
that shock was the most serious of
bis injuries.
The machine Is said to have been
driven by Cash Wiles who was much
distressed by the accident, although
It was in its nature almost unavoid
able. Mr. Wile9 was not driving at
a high rate of speed when the acci
dent took place and was using all due
caution in handling the machine. The
fact that Rev. Steger was breasting
the wind and had his head down in
so doing was the principal cause of
the affair as he did not discover his
danger until too late.
This morning he was resting very
easily and there is no reason to anti
cipate any serious or permanent re
sults the accident.

Crop I It-port.
This week's crop report of the Bur
llngton railroad for the Nebraska
district gives hopes that the loss of
crops from the continued dry spell
will not be more than half of what
was expected until the late rains fell.
The condition of the soil is fair In
most regions, although there are few
spots which were not wet sufficiently
by the rain and are drying up again
The spring grain, oats and wheat,
were damaged considerably by the
dryness, the oats perhaps 25 per cent
and the wheat even more, but the
wheat does not ever amount to any
quantity. Corn was damaged practl
cally none beyond what Is the aver
age loss and will yield 100 per cent
crop. Potatoes will also give almost
the average amount. The sugar beet
crop average will be 50 per cent more
than last year. Pastures and mead
ows have suffered some from the lack
of moisture, but the second crop of
alfalfa will be a big one If good
weather lasts.
In the Wyoming district the dry
spell has gripped the crops again and
rain Is needed badly for the oats and
the pasture. The Irrigated fields are
making fine progress and will yield a
larger crop than ever before. Wheat
Is being' harvested in much of the
district 'and will yield a very fair
crop when the length of the early dry
spell Is considered. Omaha Bee.

Fine Team of Mules.
Herman Gansemer, the popular
young farmer from west 'of Murray,
came in last evening looking after
a team of mules which ho purchased
several days since down In Missouri.
The team arrived last evening over
the. Burlington but he was unable to
have them unloaded until today ow
ing to their being held up for sani
tary inspection. This was made this
morning by Dr. Herman Greeder and
the mules released. Mr. Gansemer
states that he has been shipping
mules for some time pnst and that
heretofore the custom had been to
have them Inspected In Missouri but
this time such action was not fol
lowed which resulted In an annoying
delay. As a matter of fact, the in
spection if made at this end of the
line should have been made at Paci
fic Junction before they entered the
state but the team was brought here
where facilities for such work was
better and where It would accomo
date Mr. Gansemer. The team is a
good one and shows he has good
Judgment In its selection. He drove
them out to his home after the in
spection had been completed thla
morning.
