From Friday's Daily The Burlington railroad yards at Pacific Junction was the scene of a very serious accident last night which resulted in the loss of the ieft arm of G-len Lee, sixteen-years-old, of Aurora, Illinois. The young mau with two boy com panions had been out through the west seeking work and were return ing to their home in Illinois, making their way by hopping rides on the freights, and their journey as far as Pacific Junction had been successful when the serious accident occurred that has deprived young Lee of his arm. j The three boys had jumped on a freight that was preparing to pull ' out for Chicago, and as the train started to move down through the -J ,T .

Mr. Stewart, who i driving the wagon of the Piattpmouth Steam Laundry, had gone to the barn at the Hankinson plac where the horse used on the wagon is lodged, and as he approached the piuce he noticed several men come fron; the cellar- way which is located on the outside of the house. One of the men was trying to hide a jar of canned fruit in" his overalls when ho was spotted by Mr. Stewart, who called on them to unload the fruit that they were: making away wiui. inemtnp.au the fruit on the ground and started to run ir. the direction of the rail road yards, intent on making their getaway and were soon lost to sight. It was very early in the morning, about 6:30, when the attempted rob ber was discovered although it was broad daylight and the hoboes cer tainly had a great d?al of nerve in m:ii:ing the bold attempt to "lift" the fruit. i Mrs. Ilankinson and the children werf asleep at the time and did not learn of their unwelcome callers un- til Mr. Stewart aroused them and gave the information of the narrow esc:' pc from losing part of the family larder at the hands of the raiding party.

HR0WS BRICK Ed Briley, a former resident of Mills county, has gotten into trouble over his conduct in satisfying his hatred because cf the actions of a school bus driver of Onsva, Tcv.a Briley stationed himself by the road side where the school bus would p:'.1?. He threw a brick at the driver. Mr. Johnson, which caused the driver lo lose control of the bus and it ran into a ditch. The bus contained 2? srhool children. One girl sustained a broken arm and a number of the othen were bruised up. Johnson himself was cut in the face by the broken glass. The bus had hit Briley and broken a leg. Johnson gave the brick thrower a beating after extricating himself from the wrecked bus. A warrant has been issued for Briley's arrest, charging him with assault to commit murder. Briley was offended at John son because the latter a few days previous had whipped a son of Bril ey's. In taking that plan to get even with Johnson the lives of the school children were endangered.

FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED OUT From Friday's laily Yesterday afternoon about 4:30, the fire department was called to the northwest portion of the city where a fire, started originally to burn trash, was getting beyond con trol and very wisely the residents there put in the fire call to play safety first and which has so often been urged by the members of the fire department. It is a great deal easier to control a fire at the beginning than it is af ter it has a good start, and for this reason the firemen are urging that calls be made early in case of fire. The fire yesterday occurred in the vicinity of Eleventh and Timber streets and was occasioned by some trash burning, which, growing in volume, threatened to spread out in to the large wooded tract nearby, menacing the netire neighborhood. It was soon under control, however, and the firemen returned to the city.' HAS SMALL FIRE From Thursday's Dally The residence on the farm of Thomas Wiles, which is occupied by John Stander and family, located west of this city near the Four Mile Creek, was saved on Wednesday from a very serious fire that was raging on the farm and which caused the de struction of the cob house and large chicken coop before it was subdued. The fire originated in the cob house and soon spread to the chicken coop and three times the roof of the house was fired by the flying sparks and required the constant effort of the family and the neighbors to keep the fire down. As it is, Mr. Slander and Mr. Wiles are both considering them selves very lucky over the fact that the tire damage was no worse. CELEBRATE DOUBLE AN NIVERSARIES Kr. and Mrs. D.. A.

Genuine Surprise for Legion Gang at Meeting Last Night From Thursday's Daily If the members of so-called "Bach elor Posts" of the American Legion, could have been present at last night's weekly gathering of the gang at the undercroft of St. Luke's, they would have gone home forthwith and taken steps to organize an Auxiliary unit in their home towns. The meeting had just got settled down nicely and a few late comers were straggling in, when the doors swung wide and there descended up on the gathering some fifteen of the Auxiliary members, laden with pans containing good things to eat, and pots of piping hot coffee. The sur prise was most complete as only one or two of the Legion members were in on the secret of the ladies. Sand wiches, doughnuts and coffee were in cluded in the feed and after a pleas ant half hour together, the ladies packed up their dishes, for that was about all that was left, and left for other scenes in engage in KP detail. Father George Pierce, post chaplain led the ringing of "Good Night Lad ies,' as they departed. Among the business transacted was the arranging for a bugle and drum corps to be coached under the direc tion of Anton Bajeck and Ed Schul hof, who have volunteered their ser vices. The finance committee, which has delayed its building campaign drive temporarily on account of bad roads and poor business conditions also announced its readiness to start the ball rolling now that spring has opened up in earnest. The Forty and Eight proposition was laid over un til a later meeting when a larger at tendance is present. The date of the annual Legion banquet has been set at April 15. and some splendid speakers will be here, as well as other entertainers.

Through the desperate efforts cf the members of the family, the fur niture on the first floor of the house was saved but that on the second floor was entirely destroyed by the fire.
