Mr. Franklin remained with his companion at the hospital to assist in his care. The place where the accident oc curred is one w here a deep cmcn runs along the roadway and from the reports from the scene of the ac cident it seems the car which Frank lin was driving had skidded over to the extreme risrht of the road and eradi-allv the car ran farther in the I litch until it struck a large concrete culvert and which threw Egenberger I through the windshield of the car nd overturned the car.

Mr. Nielson and his family are enthusias-J tic lovers of the beautiful flowers and: their home is surrounded by a won-' derful flower garden, not the least attractive feaature of which is the magnolia tree. j This beautiful flowering tree is a native of the southlands and is sel-j dom found in this part of the country and especially in such a wonderful' display of bloom asthat of the one at the Nielson home. The tree was bought several years ago by Mr. Niel-' sen from a Beatrice firm and was given the best attention and today is bearing the result in the wonderful" flowers that mark the tree. It i3 seldom that the magnolia is1 found raised so successfully in the' north altho it is one of the chief trees of the gulf coast country and Mr. Nielson has a real attraction in th( -wonderful flmrpririr trac Tint Viol has developed. TAKEN TO SANITARIUM From Monday's Dally This morning John W. Haynie, one of the well known residents of this city was taken to Lincoln, where he will be placed in the sanitarium for treatment and may have to undergo an operation on his right foot, which has been in bad shape for some time land which the attending physicians have decided will require an opera tion. Mr. Haynie was accompanied by Mrs. Haynie and their son. Walter Haynie, of Northboro, Iawo, and their daughter, Ashland. Mrs. Emil Steinhaus, of King of Trails Road Work Mov ing Along Nicely Only Delay Has Been in Receiving Gravel in Large Amounts Grading Hearing Finish. From Tuesday's Daliy The Cass county portion of the King of Trails highway from thu city to the Platte river bridge is now being rushed as fast as possible and if the gravel can be supplied in suffi cient quantities it will be a matter of a very short time before this stretch of the highway will be in shape, altho there is always the April ; cowers to oe considered in tne worK i and which if they reach sufficient j proportion may check the work but! which is a matter that the road mak-J ers cannot contend with. I The engineers on the construction! work on the Sarpy side of the river are hopeful with an even break with the weather to have the grading com pleted there in the next ten days and which will furnish a high and dry roadway through the Pappio bottom near Fort Crook. Reports were circulated here today that the graveling of the road from the Platte river to Fort Crook might be hamepered by the fact that the federal government was not in a mood to supply the needed funds on this part of the work until such time as the bridge over the river wa-? a free structure. It is thought that the government objection was to the full completion of the work by the construction of the overhead crossing at La Platte rather than the mere work of graveling. As the road is now already graveled for a mile from the bridge north it leaves a very few miles yet to be completed and this will probably be carried out regard less of what the attitude of the gov ernment may be as it is a small job and with the enterprise that Sarpy county has shown in the good roads movement it is probable that they would go ahead and have this small part of the road work completed. The objection of the government it is understood has cot applied to the work on the Cass county side of the river where the graveling has gone so far that a few days would allow the greater part of the work to be completed.

Masonic Home Marshall Nursery Co., of Arlington, Have Charge of Work of Plac ing Additional Shruhbery -rom Tuesday's Daily The beautiful and spacious build ings of the Nebraska Masonic Home in this city are gradually being sur rounded by beautiful grounds that are fittingly in keeping with the fine buildings and each year the land scaping plans that were formulated when the building plan was adopted, are being added to. The Marshall Nursery Co.. of Ar lington, Nebraska, have charge of making the additions provided for this year, and have their representa tives. Charles W. Andrews, landscape architect, who formulated the plans that are being carried out from year to year, and John Hibbard, here to look after the work of placing the shrubbery that will provide added beauty to the Home grounds. The extension of the landscaping this year calls for an outlay of several hundred dollars in shrubbery that will be used in various parts of the tract of some twenty-five acres that the Masonic Home association now owns in the vicinity of the original plot of ground on west Elm street. The ultimate plans of the Home call for one of the most attractive Institutions in the state and the sur roundings are to be made as beauti ful as the work of skilled landscape engineers and materials can make them. Messrs. Andrews and Hibhard are experts in their line and will see that the shrubbery is placed to the very best advantage of display and attractiveness around the home build ings. The view of the Home and Infirm ary and grounds from the John R. Webster boulevard is a very beautiful one in the summer time especially and on the terraced lawn leading from the sunken garden to the level of the administration building, a large square and compass in floral design is being arranged that will add to the beauty of the grounds as seen by the traveler along the boule vard. Also the numbers "3," "5" and "7" are to be arranged in large floral groups, plainly discernible by passersby on the boulevard. A small lily pond will be laid out this year in the sunken garden, and added to until it attains its future size, with natural spring effect where the water is fed into the lagoon and sewer overflow provided at the point of outlet. As this part of the plan isj developed, Plattsmouth people will be able to point with pride to a land scaping plan that is not excelled in the finest home or country club dis tricts of Omaha. While here, Messrs. Andrews and Hibbard are arranging for resetting of the few Moline Elms on the boule vard, set by their firm last year for the park board under a two-year guaranteed growth. These trees are among the most beautiful on the mar ket today, budded to insure unifor mity of growth and in the next three or four years should make the boule vard a most beautiful drive. They are set far enough apart to give skjMine view and permit unhampered growth. W. C. T. U. MEETS From Tuesday's Daily Yesterday afternoon the members of the W. C. T.

HADRAEA VERY LOW From Tuesday's Daily Mrs. John Hadraba, Sr., who has been quite ill for the past week con tinues to gradually grow worse and is now unconscious for the greater part of the time and h r condition is such as to give no hopes of her re covery as she gradually sinks into the last long rest. Mrs. Hadraba has been failing in health for several years and in the last few months she has been growing less able to get around and which has aggreva ed her malady so that there is no possible hopes of her recovery.

Hadraba and family in this city. gitation on for Baseball Team for 1927 Number of Players and Boosters of the Game Trying to Organize Team for Season. From Tuesday's Ia.jly The matter of a baseball team for the 1927 season in this city is be ing agitated by a number of the fans of the city and may result in the formation of a team that can fitting ly represent this community in the great summer pastime. The team has suffered the loss of several players from last year but it Is hoped if sufficient interest can be, secured that young players who have been engaged in the Bohemian Slug gers for the last two seasons, may be enlisted In the team for this year and take part in the regular lineup for the coming season. John F. Wolff has been seeking to get a team lined up and has met with some encouragement but it will be some time yet before it is fully determined w-hether the players and funds necessarj- to get the season started can be secured. The team in the last several sea sons has spent considerable sums in the care of the park here as well as the work of the park board to keep the park in shape and severe rain storms have wiped out the, work of tne team ana Doara so teat tne parK will require some repairs before it could be a real asset to the base ball team. The conduct of the team will re quire financing and if' a generous patronage was given the team it could be made a real success but small gate reecipts hamper the team on securing equipment and players that they might need ana should a team be launched here for this sea son they should have the most gen erous patronage at their games if the season is to be made a success. The Cass-Sarpy league is anxious to have this city as one of the towns in the loop but whether this would be desired by the team is yet to be decided. Many favor the team. If one is organibed. to enter the Cass Count' league where the local towns are much better and should make a bet ter proposition for all of the towns in the county rather than getting in the dual county loop as was the case last year.
