CAME HERE IN 1356; LIVED IN GASS COUNTY EVER SINGE From Friday's Dally. Tl;is morning J. K. Vallery was at the linrlington station to depart for Memphis, where he goes to bring his cattle from his pasture near that place to his farm southwest of My nard for feeding. While waiting for his train, he said to the reporter: "In 1S"G. with my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Theobald Vallery, I came across the river near where the Burling ton bridge is now, and our family became residents of Nebraska, in which state I have continued to re- i.ido ever since. We came from near Portsmouth. Ohio. , Shortly after our arrival here the Plattsmouth Town- site company gave my father a lot if he would build a house on it. This offer my father accepted and built a lo house, which he traded the next spring for a yoke of oxen. He had been called as a soldier' for the Mex ican war just before this and was given a land warrant. With this he went to the country northwest of Mynard and settled under what was known as the Pre-Emption entry, paying $1.25 for the land with the warrant. This is the quarter section now owned by George, W. Snyder, and on which Oliver Osbom lives. Here they built a log house which served as our home while my father lived, he dying in 18G4." In'lSGS Mr. Vallery built a brick house uear the site of the old log house, which still stands. At that time roads were laid out the short est way, and the road passing in front of the house angled off across country. The house was built paral lel with the road, and now stands northwest and southeast, making it look peculiar, since the lines on the farm have been straightened out and roads are laid out1 in given di rections.

HAIG BLASTS WAY FOR RAID WITHGANNON BRITISH ARTILLERY E0MBARDS GERMAN LINES THROUGH SQUALLS OF RAIN. FIELD MARSHAL READY TO STRIKE NEW BLOW Big Guns Never Cease Eattering of Enemy Positions Day or Night. Through squalls of rain and und. r low hanging clouds. Field Mar.vhal Haig is blazing the way with hi artillery for another raid into the German line in Flandt-rr. Since the great advance of he midweek the British iurantiy has kept to the trenches and shell eras ers, except where forays were call ed for to re-align the new front or counter attacks were necessary to hold back weak Cerman attempts to recapture lost terrain. But the big guns never ceased their activity, and, day in and d.iv out. the masses of steel have been blasting the German points which are mapped out for capture when the new drive is launched. Where Fire Is Heaviest. The particularly heavy bombard ment is in the region running from Langeniarck to Zonnebeke, and es pecially to the east of the latter town, where the wedge of the Ib'ir ish has been pushed in almost with in striking distance of the Ostend Ulle road. When the new 'offensive will be sprung cannot be predicted. Several days may elapse before TIaig has suf ficiently pounded the Germans io warrant sending his men across No Man's Land or the process of de molition already may have advanc ed to the point where the first gray streaks of dawn of Monday may see its commencement. The army of the German crown prince in Champagne again has en deavored to dent the French line, but again has failed with consider able losses in men killed or made prisoners. Quiet In Russia. Comparative quiet prevails on the northern portion of the front in RuMMia and along this line- to Ru mania. In Rumania, however, the Russians, in an attack northwest of the town of Zerewich. captured a Teutonic position, made prisoners of Tfii men and also took seven ma chine guns. Under a heavy -'artillery fire the Russians later were compelled to evacuate the position. Daily the Italians' and Austrians are engaged in battles for supre macy on the tlopes of Monte San Gabriele. in the Gorizia sector. In the latest fight the Italians captur ed enemy positions on the northern slopes and also took prisoners. On several other sectors of this theater the Austrians have delivered attacks, but everywhere wt-re repulsed. PAYS FINE FOR SPEEDING.

Kaffenberger, and when ' he found out the facts in the case came in and paid the fine. He was not aware that the other man who had been driving his car had been speed ing.

OMAHA NEBRASKA E. P. LUTZ, Agent, Plattsmouth. AMERICAN DESTROYERS ARE TAKING A HEAVY U-BOAT TOLL JUST NOW Washington. Oct. 7. American dost royers; operating in foreign wa ters are netting a heavy U-boat toll. In two statements, issued by tlie navy department, today, it was shown that the American vessels are meeting with success in their operations against submariner.. More state ments ate forthcoming. .Wither Hie date of the engage ments nor the names of the vessels involved are given in the description of the destroyer U-boat bat lien madt public. In oin case a destroyer, after reveral attempts destroyed a subma rine with a depth bomb. The sec ond engagement described from re ports received at the navy depart ment was that in wl.ii h the steam er West wego, previously reporter attacked, figured in the sinking of at least one submarine out of si? that made an atta?k on a merrhan fleet. The navy account of the Westwegc battle follows: "One merchant ship was sunl and another badly damaged in ar attack of enemy submarines on largf convoy of merchantmen. The werr not American vessels. The exact number of submarines engaged coul not be determined. But the genera' belief was that there were six. "The intimation of the attacl which the Westwego received wa' the torpedoing of a merchant mar some distance away. The propellc and rudder of this ship were blow away and there was a large hole ir the stern. She was afterward tow ed into port. "At almost the same time a tank er was struck squarely -amidships b' a torpedo. The ship stink rapidly Up to this time no one had sen t periscope. A destroyer which ha'" been off the Westwego starboar' beam turned back and dropped tw depth bombs. Flying - debris anr" oil on the surface of the water fol lowed one of these explosions. "This marked the end of the at tack. Various reports from differ cut ships as to the number of sub marines sighted were received irn mediately after the attack. Ther didn't agree, but as stated, the gen eral belief after comparing the diff erent reports was that there werr six U-boats in the attack. "Less than a half hours later i periscope appeared within a fev yards of the side of the Westwcg' and drifted astern, where It quickl disappeared in the wake of the ship Destroyers concenterd at the spof and the periscope presently reap peared more than a half a mile away It was visible for a few moment' only. The destroyers continued th" search, bat nothing more of thr U-boat was seen. If she attempted to torepdo any of the ships in the convoy there was no fign. "The remainder of the vovagr was uneventful." WILL EUILD PROTEC TIVE EMBANKMENT Front Friday's Uaily. Robert Malone of the Malone Con struction Company of Lincoln, va? in the city yesterday conferring with the Burlington road, regarding a piece of work which the construc tion company will soon begin for the Burlington at Oreapolis. Heretofore the company have been damaged greatly at every spring freshet, and especially when the ice goes out of the Platte river in the spring, by overflows, which, with the huge ice cakes and gorges, have torn up the railway tracks and grades, causing interuption of traffic, and necessitat ing the almost rebuilding of a por tion of the track so damaged. The intention is to build an embankment extending from the bank of the river above the Missouri Pacific bridge, to a point above the Elevator own ed by the Duff Grain Company. It is the intention of the railway to build this embankment about nine feet in height. and of sufficient strength to keep the drift ice and gorges from tearing it away and al so the trackage of the 4Y' and other lines in the same vicinity. If this can be done it will confine the danger zone to the river proper, and eliminate much of the risk and danger of damage which now exists. HAVE VISITED FRIENDS HERE. From Friday's Dally.
