GOES TO HOSPITAL From Monday's Daily This morning Miss Dorothy Svo- Platters Win a Fast Contest from Soldiers By Score of 3 to 2 the Locals Retain Place in the Dnal Coun ty Loop. From Monday's Pally Yesterday afternoon before a de lighted audience of fans and fan ettes the Platters proceeded to hand Col., Trott's boys from up at Fort Crook a 3 to 2 defeat in what prov ed one of the best and most exciting games staged on the local lot. The soldiers came into the battle with lots of pep and as the final in-l nings came on they gracefully did a "to the rear march" that spelled de feat for them. The visitors started out like they were in for a certain victory as the curtain rolled up in the opening in ning, Linksavage hitting safe and causing the greatest of enthusiasm among the rooters for the soldiers. Smith and Kober who followed, how ever, were out on easy grounders and Linksavage strayed too far from third base and Spidell picked him off Tl'.e game was a scoreless battle up! to the seventh inning and in which Joseph McCarthy, the local skipper, figured to alarge extent, as Joe was all there in the game and had six putouts to his credit, his nelding be ing the outstanding feature of the locals play, with the stick work of George Reiehart and the smash of Art Klauschie who was also respon sible for robbing the visitors of a score in a brilliant catch in the right garden. The soldiers were able to nick Swanson for nine hits but only in the seventh were the hits bunched to do any material damage and the gilt edge support that Swanny re ceived could not have been better. The only error credited to Platts mouth was given to Reiehart and who was really an innocent party as he was fielding a ball in the third frame when he was ran into by New man and thereby hangs the error. The fans were growing more excit ed a3 inning after inning passed without a run until in the seventh when the military came to bat the scoring started and Swanson was hit hard but only two runs were tallied by the boys from Crook. DItter open ed with a good smash over the sec ond base, Robinson followed with a hot drive through third and the skies became overcast for the locals a? Hand, the next man up doubled through short and scored both Ditter and Robinson, his hit going for two bags. Hand was caught at third base and Kearns was out at second while McCarthy in grabbing the long fly of Kober ended the hopes of the visitors. The soldiers did quick work in re tiring the Platters in the last of the seventh and they in turn were re tired in the first of the eighth. With the soldiers leading with a two point margin in the last of the eighth the locals unmasked their of fensive and were assisted by the wav ering work in the box of Kearns Swanson opened for the Platters and hit safe, Herold followed and was safe when Ditter at short fumbled hi? grounder, both runners advancing when Reiehart hit safe thru second filling the sacks. Distell, the local third sacker tied the game with his blow over short and on which both Swanson and Herold scored and George advanced to the third sack. The visitors had a conference when Spidell came to bat and Harvey was sent in to relieve Kearns, making a bad matter worse for them as Spidell was walked and Georgecame home with the winning run a gift from the soldiers. Distell was called out at third when he was caught off the base and claimed a balk but the um pire did not see it that way. Klaus chie and McCarthy were also walk ed and the bases again filled when Chasteen was sent to the mound for Fort Crook and was able to strike out Meisinger and Newman and endefl the agony. In the first of the ninth the locals held the visitors and the show was all crver. The tabulated score of the game was as follows: Plattsmouth AB H PO Herold. lb 3 0 9 A 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 7 4 Reiehart. 2b 4 3 4 Distell, 3b 4 12 Spidell, c 3 0 4 Klauschie, rf 2 12 McCarthy, cf 3 16 Mason, If 0 0 0 Meisinger, If 3 0 0 Newman, ss 4 0 0 Swanson, p 3 10 TOTALS 29 7 27 14 Fort Crook AB II PO A Linksavage, cf 4 10 1 Smith, 2b 4 2 11 Kober, If 4 0 10 Busch. c 4 1 12 2 Harvey, rf-p 2 10 1 Chasteen. rf-p 10 0 1 Ditter, ss 4 10 0 Robinson, lb 4 16 0 Hand, 3b 3 2 2 0 Kearns, p 4 0 13 TOTALS .34 9 24 VISITING RELATIVES HERE From Monday's Daily Yesterday Fred Coryell, local fur niture dealer, motored down to Brock, where he Joined Mrs. Coryell and her three cousins, Mrs. Grace Willis.

New Organ at Parmele to be Equal of Any Some interesting Facts About the Fine Wurlitzer Organ Coming to the Parmele. An entire fumphony orchestra can be reproduced to the finest degree by the great Wurlitzer Organ which Managers Cloidt and Moore will be- gin to install m tne rarmeie meaire next week. Arrangements were completed a few weeks ago for the purchase of this organ, alone costing $9,000 at the factory, to which freight and cost of installing must be added. One of the outstanding features of the organ is that it has the regular touch, a second touch, which brings out particular parts and solos, the pizzicato touch for the imitation of the plucking of the strings of the violin and other instruments, besides an automatic suitable bass attach ment. It consists of many thousands of separate parts and several hundred miles of electric wiring and is capable of reproducing the music of a large symphony orchestra. The many organ pipes range from the smallest, the size of a lead pen cil, to the largest,' w ighing approxi mately half a ton. -- A piano cn be played from the key board of the instrument, while wind for its operation is supplied by a high pressure electrically-driven blower, located in the basement of the theatre. Such well-known instruments as the clarinets, piccolos, flutes, violins, cornets, fombones. saxaphones, the vex humana, musical sleigh bells, vibrating bells, harps, xylophones, cathedral chimes, orchestra bells, bass, kettle and snare drums, tam bourines, triangles and castanets are reproduced among the many tones. TRAVEL IN MOUNTAINS From Tuesday's Dally County Treasurer John E. Turner, wife and little daughter, have re turned from their very pleasant out ing in Colorado and in which, by motor and train, they were able to visit a great many of the points of interest in that portion of the west. They stopped for a two day stay at Denver with relatives and then with their relatives started a very inter esting trip in the mountain regions. They visited Leadville, the ghost city, relic of the days when the west ern mining camps were at their best and which is now slowly improving from a long period of quietness that was occasioned by the closing of the mines. While near Leadville ' the party attained the height of 12.502 feet and had a wonderful view of the snow clad peaks of the Rockies. They also visited Canyon City where the state penitentiary is located and viewed the skyline drive that has been built by the convicts in the mountains and which makes a won derful trip. On their return they stopped at Colorado Springs and Florence for a short stay with friends at these places. ATHLETICS WIN ONE From Tuesday's Dally The Athletic baseball team of this city featured in the Sunday program of attractions at the Murray bathing beach, that popular summer resort of this part of the state, when they took down the Weeping Water baseballl aggregation by the score of 18 to 4. The game was a galloping triumph for the locals as they had the boys from the city of the sobbing waters on their hip and the hurling of Louis Svoboda, former hig. school star and Frank Gradoville, well known college player, was sufficient to keep the foe men from getting dangerous and with the heavy swatting of the lo cals the game was at no time in doubt. Three baggers were register ed by Alex Schliscke, Frank Krejci and Hilt Martin during the struggle. The game was witnessed by a very large crowd that came over from the swimming pool to view the added fea ture of the day.

Death Calls Charles Deitz Last Evening . rirsmnn ti t,.i t , , , 0 j ber Yard Dies After Few Days From Tuesday's Daliv nity was profoundly vening to receive the The commu shocked last ev news of the death of Charles L. Deitz. foreman of the local lumber yard of the Burlington and former council man from the fourth ward of this city, the death of this estimable man coming just a few hours after he had been taken to the hospital from his home here where he has been sick since last Thursday, but his condi tion was not considered serious un til yesterday when it was decided to have him taken to the hospital. Mr. Deitz was found to be suffering from'Local Evangelical Church Will 0b an acute intestinal trouble and which refused to yield to treatment and he was taken to Omaha yesterday by ambulance at 12:30 and passed away at the hospital at 6 o'clock, last evening. The deceased was sixty-four years of age and was born at Keokuk, Iowa, where his young manhood was spent and where he retained still the warmest interest in the old home and the friends of his youth. He was later located at St. Joseph, Missouri and came to this city ten years ago to take charge of the Burlington lumber yard at the local shop, which position he has retained since that time and was at work until Thurs day afternoon when his illness com pelled him to go to-his home. The service of Mr. Deitz to the Burlington covered some twenty seven years and was largely in the supply department of the railroad and in which he was held in high esteem as an earnest and faithful worker in the cause of his employ ers. During the great gold rush of 189 8 Mr. Deitz was one of the thousands who made the journey to the Klon dike and the gold fields of Alaska and Canada and spent OU3 years there and where he was quite suc cessful in his efforts. Two years ago, on August 16. 1925, Mr. Deitz was one of the vic tims of a serious auto wreck at Orea polis. when his car was struck by a Burlington train and James Edwards and Elof Johnson killed and Mr. Deitz and Louis Leiner received ser ious injuries, Mr. Deitz suffering sev eral months with a broken limb. Mr. Deitz was a member of the city council for one term from the fourth ward of this city. To mourn the loss there remain the widow, who was a schoolmate of the deceased and whom he married twelve years ago at Keokuk, Iowa, their old childhood home. There are also four children by a previous mar riage, Mrs. Tom Wilson of Miami, Florida, Mrs. Mary Vogel of Omaha, Thomas Deitz of St. Joseph, Missouri, and Miss Gertrude Deitz of Omaha. There was a short funeral service held this afternoon at the Sattler Funeral home at 4th and Vine streets and the body taken east on No. 2 over the Burlington to Keo kuk, where it will be laid to rest in the family lot in the cemetery at that place. Mrs. Deitz, Mrs. Vogel of Omaha and Thomas Deitz of St. Joseph accompanied the body on the last sad journey. In the hour of bereavement the sorrowing wife and children will re ceive the deepest sympathy of all of the residents of this community where Mr. Deitz was well known and highly respected. CROPS SUFFER FROM HAIL From Tuesday's Dally Automobile travelers who were here early today en route south re port that crops in the southeastern part of South Dakota and a part of Iowa have suffered a great deal from the effects of a severe hail storm that visited that locality late Saturday and Sunday and damaged both wheat and corn to a greater or less extent. The travelers also bore the marks of driving through some of the famous Iowa mud that has a nation al reputation and the cars as well as the garments of the travelers bore the marks of the trip through the rich gumbo. However a large num ber of the Iowa counties are to be out of the mud soon with the new paved and graveled highways that they will be able to secure through the enactment of the recent state law giving them use of a part of the state gas tax money for this purpose.

Wichmann, and i." now one of the most attractive church buildings in the city and in which the congregation can feel a real pride. The painting and redecorating of the church by Harry Kruger and his force of workmen has just been com pleted and gives the church a very beautiful appearance and the paint ing and decorating represents the contribution of the Junior church to their house of worship aa they have financed this part of the work and wichh adds much to the exterior of the church. One of the first improvements to the building was the creation of a large and attractive basement to the church which has been a wonderful aid to the church in its social gath erings and stimulated the activities of the younger people of the church. The trustees are planning on hav ing the walks and lawn of the church improved this season and placed in first class shape. The summer is usually a dull sea son in the church with large numbers of the congregation being on vaca tion, but this year the attendance has been very large at the services and the collections more than usual ly large for the year and marking 1927 as one of the best years in all lines of the church activities and fi nances that has been enjoyed in the thirty years of the church history.

Has a Very Pleasant Stay at Estes Park . ' Searl S. Davis Returns From West Impressed With the Wonderful Crops of the Country. 'From Tu?snay s Dallv Tnls mornIng Searl S. Davis, local rfal efJtate man, returned home from a ten day Ktay at Estoi, Parl4t Colo rado, with his family and being call ed home to lejok after his business interests he left the family there for a longer stay as Mrs. Davis and t he boys, Stephen and Corbin are enjoy ing the outing very much and are ac companied in the pleasant outing by Miss Viola Meisinger of this city. When leaving here Mr. Davis stat ed he had thought the stories of th great crops throughout the west were aggregated in the press accounts, but the 605 mile journey by auto through Nebraska and Colorado, stretching from the Missouri river to the Rock ies, he found that the crops are all that has been claimed for them and in reaching the western part of our state as well as in Colorado the hum of the combines was a great piece of music to the traveler and the fields up far as the eye could see were filled with the golden grain, of the wheat and oat harvests. On his way back Mr. Davis came by train and was wonderfully pleased with the great progress that the corn in eastern Ne braska has made in the last week since the bountiful rainfall that came as a crop saver in this part of the state. In speaking of Colorado Mr. Davi? states that the fact that the Black Hills country of South Dakota har the president as a rival for the great Rockies of Colorado, is causing n large number of the tourists to turn their footsteps or rather their gar wagons toward Rapid City and the Hills rather than the more elaborate resorts of the west. While at dinner at the Long's Peak Inn a few evenings ago Mr. Davis and his family had quite a Cass coun ty reunion, meeting there John Berg man of this city, Mr. and Mrs. L. II. Puis and children. Harley and Leone. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Cromwell. M,rs. Catherine Earhart of near Mur dock. The Puis family reside near Greeley, some fifty miles from Estes Park and have frequent Sunday trips to that beautiful region of Colorado. While in the west Mr. Davis was able to attend the Estes Park Rotary meeting and met visitors from twelve different states and had a most de lightful time in the fraternal spirit, shown by the members of the party. One of the observations that Mr. Davis made on his visit was the fact that thjs city could and should take more advantage of the fact of its closeness to Omaha as an ideal home town where the best of conditions for homes are found and yet being in close touch with the larger city. FILES BANKRUPTCY From Tuesday's Dally In the federal court G. W.
