Died at St. Paul.
From Friday's Dally.
Mr. John Lindemaii received a

daughter at Glenwood, informing

Mrs. Matt Daugherty, of
St. Paul, Minnesota, who died yes
terday, aged about 05 years. Mrs.

three sons and two daughters to

Will of Glenwood, Fred of Have
lock, Harry of St. Paul, and their

AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS
SHOULD USE IRE CARE
Safe and Careful Drivers Are as
Much Interested in This
as Others.
No one is more interested in Ihe
problem of controlling motor cars
than the careful motorist, who
realizes that more restrictive laws
will be passed unless means are
found to control reckless drivers.
A certain element of motorists
consider that they are entitled to
ihe right of way. They expect
the same judgment and self pos
session from a 0-year-old child
as can be looked lor from a ma
ture man.
The, lime has gone by for
wholesale condemnation. The
automobile is going to bring
beneficial social changes, making
rural residence as accessible In
Ihe world of public conveniences
as Ihe city street used to be. One
interesting theory is to require
cars to be made with an auto
matic alarm, which should go olT
when the-speed exceeds Ihe legal
limit.
The essential trouble is that a
speed of ten miles an hour in a
crowded street is far more of a
menace than fifty miles an hour
on a straight and quiet country
road. There can be no rigid limit.
Perhaps the most effective means
would be the withdrawal of
licenses to operate an automobile
from anyone who overspeeds.
Qoes to Havelock.
From Friday's Dally.
Frank Cook, who. has been
learning the machinist trade in
the local chops for the past two
years, left for Havelock this aft
ernoon, where he has accepted a
good position at the shops there.
Frank is an enterprising, in
dustrious young man and is mak
ing his way to the top of his trade
very fast, and we expect to hear
good reports of his career in the
near future.
FOR SHERIFF.
I hereby announce by self s a
candidate for the nomination for the
office of sheriff of Caas county, Ne
braska, subject to the decision of the
voters at the coming primary elec
tion. I ask the voters to place me

II DIFFERENT ACCOUNT OF
THE LOUISVILLE TROUBLE
The Man Attacked Had Just De
posited SS00 In the
Louisville Bank.
The Lincoln Journal contains
the following account of the at
tack on Harry Parker, the Rock
Island contractor, which is some
what different to that reported to
this paper, but in substance
amounts to about the same:
Harry ' Parker, who used to
operate a saloon on North Tenth
street in the city of Lincoln, and
who was brutally beaten up at
Louisville, Neb., last Saturday
night, is reported to be confined
to his bed yet as a result of the
wounds received during Ihe en
counter. Parker is now engaged
in sub-contract ing for grading
work on railroads. He was work
ing for Ihe Rock Island at Louis
ville in this capacity under Con
tractor Robert Malone of Lincoln.
The latter had just paid Parker
$800 with which lo pay off his
men. The money was in cash.
Parker followed Malone's advice
and placed the money in the bank.
After dark, in company with one
other man and two boys, Parker
started up the railroad track to
wards camp. When about 200
feet from the depot he was set
upon by five men, who used a
loaded butt end of a buggywhip
and beat him up in terrible con
dition. The two boys ran away,
but the other man stayed and was
almost as severely treated. Park
er made a good defense and cut
up two of his assailants with an
empty beer bottle which lay handy
on the ground where the thugs
were lying in wait. After he was
down and so badly used up that he
could not rise Ihe five thugs con
tinued to kick him in the head
and neck. These are, the wounds
which still leave him in a serious
condition. He was robbed of about
10 after the beating had been
done up to the satisfaction of the
five men. It is said that I hey are
all in jail at Platlsmnulh, and
that two of I hem still bear marks
of the encounter. Local talent did
Ihe work.
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
MEET LAST EVENING
The Matter of Holding an Exhibit
of Stock and Products of the
Farm Discussed.
From Friday's Dally.
The Commercial club held its
regular meeting last evening, and
owing to the warmth of the
atmosphere there was less than
500 of Ihe members present. The
mailer of most consequence dis
cussed was that of an agricultural
display in Ihe city Ibis fall, where
the live slock and produce of Ihe
agriculturists of Ihe county may
be exhibited and some discrete
persons pass judgment on the
quality.
II was Ihe opinion of the mem
bers present that an outlay of
money which would be expended
in a celebration would be better
spent for a fair. The mailer was
gone over at some length and will
be decided upon very shortly, and
in lime for those owning herds
to put I hem in the pink of show
condition for the occasion.

From Friday's Dully.
