SUCH IS FAME From Tuesday's Daily The fame that man has Is but fleet ing, some wise old poet has exclaim ed and Attorney William G. Kieck of this city is thoroughly in accord with this sentiment following the re ceipt of the account of the Elks me morial service at Nebraska City, and the genial attorney is not just sure whether to be proud of the distinc tion that has been wished upon him in the account of the service appear ing in one of the Nebraska City pa , pers or rather feel that his own pro 1 fession has been slighted. Mr. Kieck presents a very pleasing personality ; and his frank and open expression ' doubtless led to the mistake in his profession being made in our neigh boring city. In the account of the i meeting, which was very clever and well prepared, it was announced that the address of the afternoon was by the "Rev." W. G. Kieck of Plattsmouth and in which the speak er lauded the charitable ideals of the Elks. The attorney is at least one lawyer who was able to fool the outside world as to his profession. bridge last Friday afternoon and that he is here to tell the tale of his misfortune is due to the heroic at t ion of a young man, "Taffy" Ewing. as he is known to his fellow workmen at the bridge. Mr. Wooster was struck on the left side of the head by a piece of tim ber while he was working on the structure of the bridge and the blow laid open a gash over the left eye and very painfully bruised the left side of his face and knocked hiia unconscious and he fell the distauce of several feet into the waters cf the Platte river and it was only the prompt action of Mr. Ewing that saved him from drowning. He was brought here and given medical treatment and is now doing very nicely. This is the third man that Mr. Ewing nas rescued from the river and his promptness in acting in the case of Mr. Wooster undoubtedly saved his life. A few weeks ago he rescued Mr. Bahr who suffered a similar accident to that of Mr. Wooster from the river and certainly this young man, who came from Ok lahoma, deserves a lot of credit for his courage and prompt action. WRITES FROM OKLAHOMA MAKES EXCHANGE OF BUSINESS From Tuesday's Daily With the first of this week, Geo. Shrader, who has been a farmer north of Union for a number of years has disposed of his place, getting oth er lands which in turn he has dis posed of for the garage of the Dow !er brothers and has taken posses sion of and will conduct it in the future.
