HORSE YESTERDAY
H.
I-I. Soennichsen Has Fine Colt So
Eadly Injured that It Was
Necessary to Kill It.
From Friday? Dailv.
Yesterday afternoon the firm of H.
M. Soennichsen suffered the loss ot a
tine young horse t,hat was so severe
ly injured in an auto mixup that it
became necessary to kill the animal.
Mr. Soennichsen was sending five'
head of horses out to the Straight
pasture on the Platte bottom and
several of the horses were loose and
following after the wagon while one
of the voung horses was tied onto
the rear of the wagon.
As the driver of the wagon, HjJ-
lard Grassman turned up the hill to
go north near the Masonic home, a
car came along bound for Omaha
and running at a good rate of speed
crashed into the horse that was tied
to the rear of the wagon and broke
a leg of the animal. The car stopped
for a few seconds and the owner dis
claimed, any responsibility for the
accident and then proceeded on to
Omaha, but not until Mr. Grassman
was able to secure the number of

the injury was so severe that it was
necessary to kill the suffering ani-

CANDIDATES GET OFF
WITH LITTLE EXPENSE
Statement of Expenses Filed in Office
of County Clerk Sayles Shows But
Little Money Spent at Primary
From Friday's Dally.
The candidates in Cass county par
ticipating in the late primary elec
tion who have filed their statement
of expense as required by law have
gotten off very easily as far as the
amount of cash spent to secure the
honor of being a candidate for pub
lic office. State Senator A. F. Sturm
reports the sum of $32.20 expended,
$5 for the filing fee and the remaind
er, $27.20 ftistributed among the
newspapers of the district. County
Judge Allen J. Beeson reports that
his efforts were confined to $10 for
the filing fee while his opponent M.
S. Briggs parted with $10 for filing
and $3 for postage. District Judge
Begley will not have an Inquiry as
to his expense as the only expendi
ture made was the $10 for the filing
fee. Dr. B. F. Brendel of Murray,
candidate for representative, states
that he has spent . nothing for the
honor of the democratic nomination
District Clerk James SI. Robertson
expended $36175 in being re-nominat
ed which includes the filing fee and
announcements in the county papers.
The remaining candidates have not
as yet appeared with their list of ex
penses, but there has apparently been
but little expenditure made and th?
old time "bar'I" has failed to be' no
ticeable.
JUDGE DOUGLASS A TRT2UTS
i How beautiful it feenis, while all
nature is singing the new life song,
whiel the sun with pursuasive smiles
is wooing from the earth her richest
treasures, at the eventide of a spring
time day. that a human soul at peace
with the world, enraptured of home,
idolized by loved ones, should feel
the touch of divine love and follow
the gentle voice of a Savior, into a
newer and grander life.
I Beautiful, too. and sublime, must
I it be for those who are left, to re
f member such a one with hearts
throbbing only with tenderness and
love, and with thoughts brilliant
with memory pictures of days now
gone. Beautiful, too, to remember that
the last footsteps 'of the loved one
were directed toward his home, the
last service rendered was to bear in
his arms food and refreshments for
thoce whom he cherished, the last
music heard was the greeting of his
loved and loving companion, that his
last conscious thought, as he at
tempted to ccoss the threshold of his
own loved home, was for the welfare
of those for whom he lived.
Rarely, indeed, in such a picture
seen, but one such has truly been
painted in our midst upon the warp
and woof of everyday life.
Gentle, amiable, faithful neigh
bor and friend, from earth farewell.

Battling to Hold It Back
From Friday's la!1v.
'The Missouri river has once iitfjre
become a serious probh m for the
Burlington railroad officials and the
latest efforts of the river to break
through and flood the Iowa bottoms
and threaten the railroad interest
is now occurring at a point straight
east from this city on the Iowa side
of the stream.
The rip-rap at that potnt has been
in for a number of years and today
it yielded to the force of the water
and gave way in a number of places
and the rushing waters at once com
menced their relentless eating i.way
of the banks, kager to break from
the present course of the river a'nd
find a new channel through the
Iowa bottoms.
The grave danger threatening the
interests of the railroad was realized
and Division Superintendent Allen
with all the available nen and ma
terial were hurried to the scene of
action in an effort to stop further
cutting away of the banks and the
formation of a new channel that
would seriously threaten to leave the
present course of the river a small
by-channel and the hjg bridge stand
ing over a dried up watercourse.
Several trains of crushed rock
have been sent to the scene of action
as well as all the available men and
the struggle to check the stream is
being desperately carried on by the
railroad men.
The present, break is in a new lo
cality from any that have been
threatening in the past few years.
as the previous breaks have been
farther north in the vicinity of Hin

dred thousand dollars were expend

The Safe Way to Buy
Investments!
It is estimated that over a half a billion
dollars are lost to investors every year
through the purchase of worthless securi
