OCCUPIES NEW EUHDING AT THE
CORNER OF riFTH AND
MAIN STREETS.
From Thursday's Pally.
Today was moving day with the
Plattsmouth State bank and taking
advantage of the holiday, the books
and records of the bank were remov
ed from the old quarters to the hand
some new building at Fifth and Main
streets that has been prepared for
the banking house. j
The officers and stockholders ofi
the bank can
certainly feel a most j
pardonable pride in the building"
that is in the future to house tmsi
larre and progressive financial in-'
stitution and it adds much to the ap- . . , Tr . , ,

AUTO PARTY HAS
. STRENUOUS TIME
ON WAY TO OMAHA
! .
Fred Lugsch and C. R. Murphy Have
Collission With Herd of Cattle
Near Fcrt Crook Tuesday
From Thvi-sdavs Dallv.
Tuesday evening while Fred
LugscJi and wife and C. K. Murphy
and wife were motoring to Omaha
they had a very strenuous time as
the result of the car runing in
to a herd of some twenty head of
cattle on the highway near Fort
Crook.
According to the members of the
auto party they were following a
Ford car on the road that was rais-
' ing more or less dust and that they
j were onto the herd of cattle which
I was being driven along the road
south by Joe Miller of La Platte, the
owner. As soon as the party saw the
cattle, Mr. Murphy applied the
brakes and the speed of the car was
not over twelve miles an hour when
they rolled into the forefront of the
herd. One of the excited and enraged
bovines drove her horn into one of
the front lights of the car and put it
out ot commission and to tne mem
,l0rs of the party there appeared to
1,e no damage done to any of the cat-
ie at mac ume.
When the auto reached the paving
at the South Side they were accosted
ly Officers Jackman and Fleming of
the South Side police force and held
for a short time as Mr. Miller had
called in from Fort Crook that one
of the cattle had suffered a broken
leg. As there was no evidence to
hoid the parties they were allowed to
go. Mr. Miller not appearing.
On their return trip the autoists
pgain passed the herd and state that
jthey counted the cattle and that all
of the twenty were there and none
apparently injured and at the time
of the accident Mr. Lugsch had got
ten out and looked to see if the cat
tle were injured in any way but fail
ed to find any damage had been done
aside from that inflicted on the car.
Mr. Lugsch and Mr. Murphy drove
out to La Plattee yesterday after
noon but the owner of the supposed
injured animal was unable to pro
duce it so that a settlement could
be made.

opposing the giving of the tributes

In speaking of the state issues,
Mr. Bryan was plain in his state
ments that if any relief was to be
secured it must be by electing the
democratic candidates as the men
who had made the excessive taxes

the democratic legislative ticket
would give the people the relief they
desired.
