LAST ROLL CALL
Horace B. Kinne. a Former Citi
zen of Plattsmouth Passes
Away at Benson.
The following from the Silver City
Times gives an account of the death
of an old civil war veteran, who, for
many years resided in Plattsmouth,
and who was well known by many oj
our people as an honest, upright citi
zen. While a resident of this city he
lived with his daughter, Mrs. Mary
A. Vroman, who removed from this
city to Benson, where the old veteran
passed over to the Great Beyond:
"The body of H. B. Kinne was
brought here Tuesday morning from
Benson, Neb., for burial The serv
Ves were held at the BaptlHt church
and were conducted by Rev. George
A. Campbell of Benson. He was as
sisted by Rev. 0. A. Barker. Burial
was wade in the Silver City ceme
tery. ' ,Uv '
I "Horace A. Kinne was born July
26, 1821, at Norwich, Shenago coun
ty, New York. He was married May
30, 1841, to Miranda Wheaton at the
eame place. There were four children
born to them, three of whom survive
Mm M. H. Kinne and Helen M.
Seagrave of Spokane, Washington,
and Mary A. Vroman of Benson, Neb.
Eleven grandchildren are left to
mourn his death. Ills wife preceded
him in death fifteen years ago. Very
shortly after her death, Mr. Kinne
suffered a second stroke of paralysis
from which he never fully recovered
Another stroke came last Sunday and
caused his death which occurred Sun
day afternoon.
"Mr. Kinne served in the civil war
as a member of Company C, Illinois
Volunteers. In 1861 he was parallzed
and in 1 862 he was discharged at
Louisville, Ky., and sent home on
crutches. The deceased was for years
a respected citizen of Sliver City and
his many old friends will be sorry
to hear of his death. He lived the long
and useful life of a Christian gentle
man."
Insane Man at Large.
It Is reported that a man named
Ed. Harris several days since became
demented at his home on the east
side of the river and became so bad
that a nurse was required for his
care. On Thursday night last when
the nurse was asleep, Harris escaped
from him and wandered out into the
high weeds which line the roads and
covered the country In that locality

In the matter. The man's name was
James Harris and he had been ill for
some time. He had spent one term in
the asylum at Clarlnda, la., and he
had great fear of being returned to
that place. Last Saturday morning
he slipped out of bed about two
o'clock while his sister and Steve
Howard who were setting up with
him, went to sleep and since that
time no trace has been found of him.

The Hail d'ame Sunday.
A nice sized crowd yesterday af
ternoon wandered out to the Chicago
avenue grounds and saw the IMatts
mouth team and the Alemeda team of
Omaha go ten fast inning to a tie.
The game was a good one and thor
oughly satisfied all those who saw it
Roth teams played good ball and in
the main fielded cleanly and neatly,
although eacn secured one of their
rubs on errors at critical times. The
pitchers for both teams were in very
good form and held the batters safe
at critical times, giving some pretty
exhibitions of clever pitching.
Mann won the honors for Platts
mouth with a screaming home run to
deep center field In the third round.
He hit the ball a ralfVity swat which
caused it to get up and hike for the
Ihlgh places and before It could be
found and returned lie was tiafe on
home. He is recovering nla batting
eye and from now on it Is safe to say
he will be one of the mainstays In
the hitting line on the team. One of
the Omaha players duplicated his
feat and got a home run lu nearly
the same spot, although his was not
as clean as Mann's and he might have
been halted at third had the ball been
promptly fielded. However, It even
ed the game up and satisfied the
crowd. The local team found the
Alamedaa the fastest team they have
yet encountered and that they played
so strong a game proved a surprise.
The riattsmouth team was coming
strong at the finish and was batting
the Omaha pitcher freely when the
game was called to enable the visi
tors to take the train for home. The
final score was riattsmouth 2;
Omaha 2.

Search Omaha Pawn Shops.
Friends of Mrs. Harriett MacMur
phy in this city have learned that her
residence In Omaha was broken into
on Monday, July 4th, and consider
able Jewelry and other stuff taken.
Among the articles taken was a gold
watch given by Mrs. MacMurphy's
father to her mother some seventy
years ago. This was a fine timepiece
but was valued particularly high by
Mrs. MacMurphy on account of tho
associations connected with It. A
search of the pawn shops in Omaha
resulted in disclosing the watch as
having been pawned within a short
time after It was taken and It was
recovered. There Is every probability
of getting the thief now as tho po
lice have a description of him. It
is the belief of many that a search
of the Omaha pawn shops might re
veal tho whereabouts of tho three
watches taken from W. J. Strelght's
residence here on the 4th and It is
probable that such a search will be
made before it Is too lute. So far
no due to tho ninn who entered Mr.
Strelght's house has been obtained.

A visitor to Louisville remarked
that there were more automobiles
seen on the streets here in a day
than any town of Its size he had
ever visited. This either denotes pros

nicely.
