OQTHER VICTORY FOR
THE CEJNEEK TEAM
Play Avooa Sunday and Return
With Another Scalp Dangl
ing to Their Belts.
Wolff's Colls motored down to
the villago of Avoca and copped
another nifly game of bull from
That loam Sunday before a law
crowd of fans. Connor was the
.holo show, with steam enough
to run a buzz-saw when tho gamo
was over, lie had 17 strikeouts,
assisls, allowed no bases on
balls, and, lo top it olT, in the
fourth inning balled the ball over
the center fielder with the bases
full and .scored himself on the
throw-in. Hirz also had a good
day and accepted 5 chances, two
of which were of the gingery type,
and would hardly have been an
error had lie not fielded Ihem
clean.
Dugan had a good day, throw
ing a runner out from right field
at third base and gelling a line
hit to right field and bringing in
the first run of the game. The
only chances offered I he re
mainder of Urn bunch were handl
ed with ease. Ilalleries Cedar
Creek, Wo Iff and Connor; Avoca,
C. Timber and Piltman.
Avoca has a clean bunch of hall
players and a very clever man
ager, but the musicians are very
stingy with their dope. Maybe
if Iho Colls would allow Avoen to
get a lead I hey would Jar loose,
but Wolff says that won't lake
place soon, as victory is music
enough to suit him.
Gretna will be (he next place
the Colls will perform, and the
management js confident of suc
cess, nil hough I hey are a hard
hunch lo handle.

RIVER THREATENS HISTORIC
TOWH OF ST. DEROIN
Old Building Goes Into the River
and Other Buildings Are
In Danger.
Unless something can be done
to curb the destructive currents of
the Missouri river, the historic
.town of St. Deroin will soon be
no more, says the Auburn Herald."
Recently the river changed its
course and began to eat away the!
banks on the Nebraska side. Slow
ly but surely the banks began to
disappear and it soon became evi
dent that the old town, whose
name is so lamiliar to pioneers,
would soon be wiped out of exist
ence. A frame house, known as the
Woodring property, was tho first
to go. The ground was eaten out
from under the foundations by
tho water, and the structure top
pled into the river. The house
was built over forty years ago and
was a landmark. If the brick
school house, which is over forty
years old, is saved it will have
to be moved, as the river is rapid
ly encroaching on the ground on
which it stands. Orchards, and
cornfields are threatened and
from all appearances the place
that was once a thriving river
town will become food for the
insatiable appetite of the Mis
souri river.
About 1850 the town of St.
Deroin was founded. During the
days of river transportation the
town flourished and became an
important, shipping center. J. A.
Rilter was the founder of tho
town and was, for years, identified
with its business interests. He
was afterward a county commis
sioner of Nemaha county and a
prominent man in business and
political circles. After tho rail
roads camo and the river was no
longer used for transportation
purposes, the town declined, hut
around it there clung the atmos
phere of historic Interest. If the
town is destroyed by tho en
croachments of the river, the
property loss will be very great.

Fifty-two Bushels to the Acre.
Henry Bonemeier, one of Cass
county's prominent Gorman farm
ers, living near Murdock, has, so
far as reported, the best wheat
crop raised in the county. It
threshed 52 bushels to the acre
and is of excellent quality. Other
reports come from that section of
several other fields turning out
40 to 45 bushels per acre. Cass
county is fortunate in having one
)of tho 11 nest wheat crops in its
history, and generally can be de
pended upon.
Big Wheat Crop.
George Fverett of Liberty pre
cinct, southeast of Union, had
eleven acres of wheat which yield
ed 507 bushels, which is a little
more than 50 bushels to tho acre.
This is some wheat and will aver
age up with the best raised in tin's
or any other county. The wheat
is of excellent quality, also.
