Very Sudden Death of the Little
Tvvo-tVIonths-OId Daughter
of Jllr. and WSrs. Lee Cole.
One of the saddest incidents that
We have been called Upon to
hronide for some time occurred
last evellill'-' in the death of the
little two months old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Cole, who reside
on a farm southwest of this city
mar Mynard. The family had
come to IMattsmoiilh to spend a
few hours at the picture show,
and brought their little dulinu
with them, driving in with their
automobile and w hen reach hm
the show the mother alter bein
sealed uncovered the little babe
to find to her prief and sorrow
thai if. lay lifeb'ss in her arms,
pust what caused the dealli is dif
ficult to determine as the child
had evidently been in pnn health
vhen the parents b'fl home, and
was as bright and cheerful as it
was possible for a child to be.
The first intimation of anything
beinir vvronpr was when the mother
noticed on the garments of the
little one a few drops of blood
which alarmed her, and a further
investigation discloe-d that the
little one was dead. The child was
liurried to (he olfice of a physician
but without result, as tin child
was one beyond all aid.
It was thouuhl at lirsl that it
bad been smothered in the wraps
around it. but this was not
thought likely by those in atten
dance on the child as it had not
moved or made any ilfort to p.cl
nit from beneath them as would
be the case if it were simd herinpr.
The death of the little one is
a terrible bhv to the family and
in the bitterness of their frrief
they will receive the deepest
sympathy of every one in the
community in the loss of the
little child. The report of the
death of the child created a preat,
excitement in the theatre and on
the street, and a larpe number of
the anxious friends accompanied
the parents to the office of the
physician to learn the sad truth
that the little one was no more.

C Norin. which was In Id in Lin-
coin at 1 u :.'(( Monday forenoon.
Mrs. Norin was quite well known
lo many people here who met her
ft en when she rame to visit her
daughier southwest of town, and
tiie trauic manner in which she
lo-d her life caused much sorrow
uiioii the many friends of the
family. From the Lincoln Jour

lowing report of the death of that
estimable lady:
The body of Mrs. Anna V.. No
rin, who was gored to death by
an angry bull on her farm, three
miles south of Lisco, Neb., last
Wednesday, was brought to Lin
coln Saturday for burial. The
body was not discovered until
Thursday evening', when Charles
Mmshall, a neighbor, started a
search for the missing woman.
Mrs. Norin was a widow, about
(',." vears old. Her husband was
kilbd in a boiler explosion at the
slate hospital for the insane a
number of years ago. Mrs. Norin
had taken a homestead in CJafdeii
county, and was J iving on a small
farm. In a few months she would
have completed the five years re
quired for ownership of the land.
Mrs. N'ordell of Lodgepole. a
siser of the dead woman, was
the last to see her alive. She was
at the Norin home on Wednesday
ror a s'lorl visit, and left there
at l in the afternoon. It is
1 bought that after that Mrs. No
rin left the house and was at
tacked by the bull. There is a
strong' fence about the house
that separates the few cattle in
the pasture from the house. The
bull was not known to be vicious.
The fence was broken down,
showing that the bull had broken
through it to reach the woman.
Charles Minshall. a neighbor,
slopped at the house Thursday on
his way to town. He found the
house locked and a shawl on the
porch steps. On the way home in
the evening he found things just
as they were in the morning, and
became alarmed. After a brief
search he discovered the body
near the barn. Hy tracing the
hi lstains he found that the
body had been rolled a distance
or sixty feet after the first attack.
Nearly all the clothing had been
torn off, the neck was broken and
the body mutilated.
The funeral will be held at

A most delightful time was held
last evening at the parlors of the
Methodist church when the 1114111
icrs of the Young Men's Bible
class entertained a number of
(heir lady friends at a social evening-.
It had been intended for some
time to surprise the ladies with
1 treat and last night the mem
bers of the class certainly were
there on the providing of a most
pleasant time, (iaines and music
afforded the amusement of the

class ami their friends are great
ly interested in music, and all
joined in giviui; several selections
that came as a most pleasing
feature of the evening's enter

jolly crowd were treated to a
most sumptions oyster slew pre
pared in a delicious manner by
the ladies of the church whose
reputation as chefs were amply
sustained in the splendid feast

ful in the history of the class and
the church and proved to be most
entertaining in every way pos
sible. B was a late hour when the
jolly crowd .departed for their
homes feeling that it had been
good to be there as the guest of
the voung men's class.
HORSE KILLED BY AOTO
NORTH OF THE CITY SOME
TIME LAST NIGHT
From Saturday's Dalljr.
Last night or early this morn
ing an automobile traveling over
the Oinaha-lMattsmouth road
north of this ciiy struck a horse,
which was in the road near the
Chris Iske farm a few miles out
of the city, and instantly killed
the animal. The horse was hurled
some twenty feet to one side of
the road, where it was found this
morning by parties traveling,
one of several that were evident
ly grazing along the roadway as
there was another horse which
bore the appearance of having
evidently been mixed up with the
auto as it was badly skinned
about the thinks as though the
machine had just hided it in pass
ing. The horse evidently belong to
someone in that neighborhood and
the owner will be out several dol
lars in the loss of tin? valuable
animal.

found in this part of he country.
This has been a good year for the
pears, and Mr. Tartsch has did

GENERAL TREND
Tnim
11
Which are More Noticed by Those
Who Only Visit Plattsmouth
Occasionally.
There has been ill the past few
months a great number of im
provements made in ibe property
throughout the city that is
worthy of more than a passing'
notice as it indicates the general
trend toward progre-sivness and
a spirit of pride in the eily ami
its future welfare and pospeiity.
Today there is more and belter
sidewalks in the city of Platts
moulh than there ever was before
and every day there is a new ad
dition made to the growing miles
of permanent walks that stretches
from one section of the rity Jo
the other, and which will soon
give us one of the best systems
of permanent sidewalks of any
rity of its size in I ho stale.
There is of course plenty of op
portunity for further advance
ment along- this line but the city
and the taxpayers are both getting:
together in placing the streets and
idewalks in the best shape they
have been for vears before.
It has only been a brief space
of lime since the old wooden
walks were scattered over the cilv
in profusion and now there is
hardly a place where they ran be
found and it is safe to say that
in another two years there will
not be any in existence through
out the city.
The streets too have received
the attention of the city and are
being fast placed in the best of
condition by the street depart
ment but in this work they have
been slightly handicapped by the
fact of the streets on the hills
washing out, hut with the spread
of the curbing and gutter ing' pro
position throughout the city tliis
didieulty is gradually being- did
awav with and soon the cost of
maintaining; the street repairing
department will be greatly lessen
ed when these permanent im
provements are made in the dif
ferent streets that are laid out
over the hills of the city.
To those who have lived here
constantly the change has md
been noticible. but those who have
been absent from the city for a
considerable period of lime are
cjuick to note the change that
conditions has brought to the old
town along the r iver, and everyone
is ready to agree that a better
place to make a home could not
be found than right here.
DR. ANNA SHAW
