COMMUNITY
PICNIC DRAWS
A BIG CROWD
SEVERAL .THOUSAND PERSONS IN
ATTENDANCE AND ALL EN
JOY THE OCCASION.
From Thursdays Dally
Yesterday the community picnic at
the C. L. Wiles grove one mile westitho ,ori ovtl0na
of the city on the Louisville road,
X- T n 4 - Illy wnn -J
drew a crowd of several thousand cessors on the diam0nd of Walt Con
persons to participate in the safe nors their fathei.f who is stI11 a live
ana sane ous,eram.e ui me .u "Mwire in the game.
July arranged by the co-operation of
the business men and the various
shop and civic organizations.
The site of the picnic grounds was
ideal for the holding of a picnic of
this nature and there was found am
ple shade in the large grove for all
of the large crowd who came early
in the day and stayed until the ap
proach of evening before returning to
their homes.
The picnic was well arranged in
every detail and the operating of
the committees was the best found at
any similar gathering in this local
ity in a great many years. The
grounds committee had everything
in readiness for the big show and
when the first auto loads arrived they
found the picnic all ready to start
and it was not long ere the grove
was well filled with parties who had
come with their lunches and dinners,
ready to spend the day in the open in
a delightful, friendly community
gathering.
The transportation committee had
received a very fine response from
the car owners of the community and
at the court house was assembled a
large array of cars at 10 o'clock for
the purpose of transporting the mem
bers of the picnic party to the gro
bers . of the picnic party to the
grounds and these were soon filled
and off to the scene of the pleasant
gathering. At 1 o'clock a count of
the cars at the grounds showed 1.014
cars and. this is an indication of the
large array of people assembled to
enjoy the day.
The refreshment- committee of
which C. J. Tehleen "was the chair
man, had the time of their lives
from noon until 2 o'clock in the dis
tribution of the free watermelon. Ice
cream and lemonade and there were
6.000 pounds of watermelon, 450
gallons of lemonade and seventy-five
gallons of ice cream distributed to
the picnic party and which proved
one of the big features of the day to
the Jolly party.
The athletic program which D. C.
Morgan and his associates had ar
ranged was one that kept something
doing all of the time from the open
ing of the picnic at 11 o'clock ad
the races and games kept the crowd
busy. The boxing matches among
the residents of this locality were a

Not the least of the athletic events
of the day was the baseball game
between the Nebraska City and the
Plattsmouth Boy Scouts, as Mr. W.
II. Pitzer and Rev. Patton had
brought two car loads of the young
sters from the Otoe county city and
t SVultn itotte Tentf
ning. when the game was called by
the score of 1 to 1 and had been a
hard fought battle throughout. Ralph
Connors did the pitching for the local
team and his brother, "Happy" was
.back of the bat like a veteran and
I
t10 ,,.
The Boy Scouts in their concessions
made large sales and were much
nleased with the result of the day's
business.
Late in the afternoon the commit
tee and the picnic party were given
a real surprise when the colored or
chestra that is appearing at the
Movie Garden, appeared on the scene
and gave a free concert that was a
delightful feature of the occasion.
In the success of the big picnic, a
great deal of credit is due to the var
ious committees that were engaged
in arranging for the event and they
certainly proved that they were
adepts in the arrangements of a gath
ering of this nature and it was all
that had been hoped for as a pleas -
ant get-together gathering.
Signs were displayed at the picnic
grounds advising those in attendance
of the evening celebration at the Mur
ray swimming pool and ere the shades
of nfeht had fallen many from here
had hied themselves to the popular
resort of our neighbors to the south,
where they continued their enjoy
ment of the nation's birthday until
late in the night.
The picnic went off smoothly and
without mishap of any kind, which ;
is highly gratifying to all those con
nected with the giving of it.

LOSES ONE OF THE
BEST BALL GAMES
OF THE SEASON
Plattsmouth Team Loses in Last In
ning by 1 to 0 Score Unable
To Hit in the Pinches. .
From Thursday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon the Platts
mouth C, B. & Q. baseball team lost
a finely played game to Afton, Iowa,
,'at that place by the narrow margin
I . a .
oi i to u ana wnicn up to ine iasi
half of the ninth inning had been
scoreless and, according to the Af
ton followers of the game, was the
best baseball contest ever staged
there.
In the game Plattsmouth secured
nine hits to three for Afton but the
great fielding of the Iowa team and
the inability of the locals to hit ef
fectively in the pinches resulted in
their being held on the bases and
unable to score.
For Plattsmouth Connors occu
pied the hill and allowed only one
straggling hit In the seven innings
that he pitched and this was only a
scratch affair. The remaining two
innings were pitched by Joe Mc
Carty who allowed but two hits, one
of which came in the ninth inning
and with an error , resulted in the
Iowa team annexing their lone tally
William Harvey Mason in the out
er garden made a number of sensa
tional catches and the team as a
whole did some of the best fielding
of any game they have played and
found themselves pitted against a
real ball team in the Afton organiza
tion. The attendance at the game was
estimated 500 people and the Platts
mouth players are very enthusiastic
.over the manner in which they were
treated both in the sportsmanlike
conduct of the game and in the re
ception by the Afton citizens in gen
eral. The Plattsmouth team will stage a
double header here next Sunday
with the Omaha Burlington team
and two of the best games on the lo
cal lot this season is being looked
forward , to by the fans. This season
the team here is playing the best ball
in years and deserves hearty support
as they deliver the goods Come out
and help boost the game in this city.

.BIVER ON THE RAISE
From Friday's Dally
The -Missouri river yesterday took
a decided raise and is now at the
height of the year and much higher
than it was at the time of the June
rise a few weeks ago. The raise is
thought to be occasioned by the un
usually heavy rains that have pre
vailed over the west and which have
swollen many of the small streams
to flood stages and which in turn
poured their waters Into the "Big
Muddy." The river at Sioux City this
morning was reported as falling and
the flood stage has not been reached
here as yet and probably will not
raise sufficient to occasion any dam
age to the lowlands. The greatest
danger exists when the river com
mences falling for the land on the
east side of the river as it is thought
by those familiar with the situa
tion there that it may cause some
damage to the safeguards placed
along the east bank as it has been
found that the greatest damage to
the rip rap has followed the fall of
the river after high water stage.

ORCHESTRA ENTERTAINING
The K. S. society gave a very en
joyable dance at their platform on
Wednesday evening that was a fit
ting close of the Fourth of July ob
servance and which was attended by
a very pleasing crowd of dancers.
Owing to a failure of the orchestra
that was supposed to have played to
appear, the galaxy of musicians
headed by Glen Mendenhall was se
cured and the orchestra gave a very
fine program of the new and snappy
dance music and the merry party
continued the dance until a late hour
and felt felt that it had been a most
enjoyable occasion for all concerned.
When desiring a cigar or 'cigarette,
call at the Bates Book and Station
ery store, where there is a large line
