DEATH GOMES
IN AUTO ACCI
DENT SUNDAY
HENRY TJMLAND. ALEX BAINS OF
AUBURN KILLED; JOHN
BURLEY INJURED.
SPEEDING CAR IS OVERTURNED
Umland and Bains, Who Were in the
Front Seat. Pinned Beneath
the Overturned Car.
From Monday's Daily
The peace and quiet of Sunday
was marred in this locality yesterday
by the tragic death of Henry I'm
land and Alex Rains of Auburn and
the probable fatal injury of Shelly
Pummell.formerly of this city, when
the car in which they were riding
overturned on the highway three
miles northeast of Union near the
Herman Reike farm at an early hour
Sunday morning.
The auto party, consisting of Urn
land and Rains together with John
Burley left Auburn at a very late
hour Saturday night and at Nebras
ka City they stopped and spent a
short time and were joined there by
Shelly Pummell, well known here
where he was for some time employ
ed at the Herger bakery.
The trip had proceeded without in
cident until reaching the vicinity of
the Reike farm where the driver, Mr.
Umland. had evidently grown uncer
tain of the road and thought he was
getting out of the main roadway as
the marks on the highway indicate J
that the car was suddenly turned and
as the result was overturned and the
occupants killed and injured. The
two dead men were found beneath
the rear part of the overturned car,
Umland having the back of his head
caved In and Rains suffering from a
number of very severe curs and
bruises and having his head badly in
jured as well r.s having the right side
of the jaw upward into the head.
Pummell was thrown out of the
car as It turned over and hurled
some distance away from the wreck
ed car and escaped without serious
Injury which seems almost marvel
ous in view of the Injuries received
by the other members of the party, j
As soon as possible after the shock j
of the fall Pummell ran to the ear, i
which was a mass of wreckage and .
hearing the groans of Mr. Burley
dragged him from beneath the car
and ran to the nearby nome of Fred
Clark, where he called for help from
Plattsmouth and Murray for his com
panions. Dr. J. F. Brendel of Murray was
the first to arrive on the scene and
dressing the wounds of Burley
best be could by the lights of the
cars that had gathered at the spot
and later took the injured man on
into Murray where he was given
more treatment and later taken to
the hospital. He was suffering from
what was though to be a skull frac
ture as well as an injured back and
was in very serious condition.
In response to the call to Platts
mouth, Sheriff Quinton and County
Attorney Cole as well as Undertaker
John Sattlor drove out to the scene of
the accident but by this time pass
ing autoists had gathered and lifted
the car off the bodies of Umland and
Rains and they were awaiting the
coming of the authorities to take
charge of the bodies.
The two dead men were brought
on into Plattsmouth and taken to the
Sattler undertaking rooms where
they were prepared for shipment to
the homes cf the unfortunate men
in Auburn and shortly after 6
o'clock relatives of the two men ar- ;
rived to take charge of the bodies, i
According to the story of Pum
mel, .the car had been going at a
high rate of speed when the accident
occurred and the sudden turning of
the car must have caused it to sud
denly turn over. Marks on the road
for a distance of twenty feet indicate
that the wheels had been dragged
along as the driver had evidently set
the brakes of the car which was a
large and heavy Reo towing car.
Where the accident occurred there
is good, level stretch of road and the
car was some distance from the small
ditch that ran along the roadside.
The relatives who were here yes
terday stated that Mr. Umland, who
is running a filling station for the
Standard Oil company at Auburn,
had come home about 11:30 Satur
day night and told his mother that
he was going out on a drive and
would not be home until Sunday af
ternoon and had changed his clothes
and left which was the last the fam
ily heard of him until the telephone
message from Plattsmouth early
Sunday morning informing them of
his death.
Alex Rains was a teamster at Au
burn and it was stated that both
men were unmarried.

I AND OF THE BED APPLE
From Tuesday's Daily v.
The well known reputation of
Missouri as the land of the big red
apple has nothing- on this section of
Nebraska as a producer of the best of
the apples that mark the fall season
of the year. The Omaha Bee of Sun
day had in its Rotogravure section
a number of photographs taken at
the farm of J. J. Smith and Douglas
Smith, north of Omaha, of the apple
crop of these farms which are among
the best in this part of the state. Mr.
J. J. Smith is the father of Mrs. T.
B. Bates of this city and is one of the
best known fruit raisers in the state
and has been prominent for the last
twenty-five years in the horticulture
circles of Nebraska.
