Fred Hull Has
Close Call from
Death Thursday
Twelve Year Old Boy Coasting Down
High School Hill Eits Auto
and Has Leg Broken.
From Friday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
Fred Hull, t welve-year-okl son of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Hull, residing in the
Rekin building, had a very close call
from death when the bicycle on
which he was riding trashed into a
passing automobile at the intersec
tion of Cth and Main streets.
Fred had started from school at
the completion of the afternoon ses
sion and had borrowed the bicycle
belonging to Marvin Barr. a s.. hcrol
mate. to make the journey down the
steep hill from the high school
grounds to the business section of
the city. Th boy had apparently
been coasting down the hill, the eye
witnesses of the accident state and
the bicycle had attained a high rate
cf speed as it pa?s-d Seventh and
Main and with added force was
speeding on down toward the Sixth
street intersection where the heavy
auto travel of the K. of T. highway
makes bicycling a real danger.
As t li- biivcie came on into Sixth
street the Dodsre sedan of "Y. M.
Ioc) Whitfield, of Nebraska City,
traveling representative of Trimble
Brothers of Omaha, came past going
north and the bicycle struck the car
broadside, the force of the collision
bending in the door of the sedan and
breaking the glass in the door.
The car was driven by R. W. White
of Nebraska City and was traveling
at a slow rate of speed and stopped
within a few seconds cf the accident.
The front wheel and fork of the '
bicycle was bent and broken and the
young lad wi.s hurled to the pave
ment by the force of the collision,
and was picked up at once by Chief
of Police Johnson. Dr. O. Sandin and
Mr. White and. taken to the office of
Dr. T. P. Livingston where a tern--porary
dressing was made of the in-:
jured leg. It was found that the
boy had a fracture of the upper part
of the right leg and seemed to have
the hip injured to some extent altho
it -was not thought that it was f rac-'
tured. He also had two teeth loos-
ened by the force of the impact and
was generally very badly bruised asj
the result of the collision.
The parents of the boy were call-'
ed and it was decided to have him
taken To Omaha where he was placed
in the Immanuel hospital to have the
injured leg set and the boy cared for
until he i? again able to resume his
usual activities.
The accident occurring just at the
elope of the afternoon session of the
city schools attracted a great crowd
of th" schoolmates and as.c-ociates of
the unfortunate boy who gathered at
the office of the physician to learn
of the condition of their friend. j

County Treasurer John E. Turner,
who is usually a very calm and col
lected ctloman, for a few moment?
last night had an experience that
cause-d him a great deal of excite
ment as the result of a joke that oth
er members of the family and some
friends played on him. Mr. Turner
was encaged in doing sen? evening
work at the trersurer's o?ice in the
riurt house and brought the car
down to the vicinity of the cMirt
bouse and parked it while Mrs. Tur
ner and the little daughter visited
r.t the home of Sheriff and Mrs. Bert
Reed.
In the latter part of the evening
the sheriff took his car to the garage
and later had occasion to use a car
and was invited to take the TurneT
car for the errand that would only
cover a few moments. After the
s-heriff had gone John was called up
and informed that his car war
"cone." a? it was, but not perman
ently as the treasurer understood the
message. Mr. Turner called the
l-idce and other places to endeavor
to locate the car and before the wife
could explain the joke of the matter
;nd it was not until the arrival back
,,":n" of Sheriff Reed that John real
:7'd that th "gone" car was not

SETS A GREAT RECORD
From Friday's Daily
Tne sale of baby beef held yester
day at the sales pavilion at the South
Omaha stock yards set a new record
in the price of beef cattle when the
high mark of CI cents a pound was
brought by the 1,000 pound pure
Mack Angus, belonging to William
Konicek. a farmer boy of near Ful
lerton, Nebraska.
The stock sold, was that raised by
the Nebraska and Iowa members of
the boy's and girls' clubs and the
sale was handled by Col. W. R.
Young, auctioneer, of this city, whose
splendid work in presenting the stock
on the market assisted in the spirit
ed bidding that smashed a record of
4 7 cents received for the prize win
ning baby beef at the Nebraska state
fair.
Col. Young had donated his ser
vices as auctioneer to help the boy
and girl club movement in this sec
tion cf the west and his splendid re
sult is a great triumph for his work
in the line of auctioneering and sets
a real record breaking price for beef
in this section of the west.
So spirited was the bidding for
young Knoicek's steer that the very
first bidder offered 30 cents a pound
for it. Someone immediately boost
ed the price to 35 cents, and it wasn't
five minutes before the auctioneer was
shouting. "Sixty-one; who'll give me
62?" But Prucha was successful at
61 cents. Knoicek bought the animal
October 18, 1926, paying $125 for it,
and the heifer, which also" was a first
prize winner in its class yesterday.
The steer was milk-fed until January
10, when the young feeder put it on
a diet consisting principally of corn
and alfalfa. At that time it tipped
the beams at 485 pounds, and at the
Madison county fair two weks ago
it weighed exactly one thousand
pounds.
The reserve champion Bteer, also
an Angus, but of the junior class,
belonging to Thayne Rumsey, 11-years-old,
Pullerton, Neb., brought
the next high-st price 26 cents a
pound. This animal weighed approxi
mately 950 pounds and was purchas
ed by a packer buyer for the Fonten
elle hotel. Rumsey paid $40 for the
steer January 15 and has fattened
it principally on corn and milk. It
brought $249.60.
The third highest price was 20
cents a pound, paid by the Burling
ton railroad for the champion white
faced senior Hereford of Vera Mas
Ranson. 10 years old, Dow City, la.
The Union Pacific" railroad dining
car service was the successful bidder
for the praze-winning senior Short
horn of Allen Knott of Lorretto, Neb.,
paying fourth highest price of the
auction 194 cents. W. B. Cheek,
acting for the Hartford Live Stock
Insurance company, paid 1S4 cents
a pound for the Angus steer of Wayne
Stevens of Shenandoah, la., which
was awarded Second place in its class,
while a similar price was paid by
the Chamber of Commerce for the
second prize junior Shorthorn of
Lorraine Schmifltt of Madison, Ne.

Contributes $25
to Building Fund
; Standard Oil Company Explains De
lay and Sends Nice Contribu
tion to the Committee.
From Thurpdny s Tai"iv
When local appeals to the Stand-
,'ard Oil company for a contribution
to the Legion building fund went un
answered, the committee, knowing of
the company's reputation for gener
ously supporting worthy projects in
the different towns and cities in
which it operates, addressed a letter
last week to Mr. C. JC. Humphrey,
assistant general manager and a
former Plattsmouth man, to which
answer has just been made by Mr. S.
H. Pray, manager of the Norfolk
division, which has direct jurisdic
tion of the tank wagon and filling
station service here that explains
the matter nicely. The letter of Mr.
Pray, omitting salutation and signa
ture details, is as follows:
"Mr. Humphrey has passed me
your letter of September 15th. in
which you advise that apparent
ly your appeal for American Le
gion Community building, had
been directed into the wrong
channel. Upon receipt of your
letter, we searched our files and
failed to find where this has
been brought to our attention.
Possibly this wta tufcen up by
you with your local representa
tives and through oversight they
have not taken it up with us,
because as a rule, this is always
taken care of.
"We are very sorry it was
necessary for you to write us a
personal appeal. We are very
glad to attach herewith our
check for $25.00 to help along
the cause for which you make
appeals, because we feel it is a
worthy one and we are glad to
do our part."
Accompanying the letter of Mr.
Pray was a voucher for $25. which
sum has been added to the amount
being collected in on outstanding
unpaid pledges in order to permit the
payment of contractor's final esti
mate due within the next couple of
weeks.
If any who read this are among
those who have subscribed and failed
to pay, the .committee wants you to
know it needs the money and needs
it badly. Your signed pledge is as
bindig as a note and has been figur
ed on by the building committee as
equivalent to cash and the committee
asks that you meet the obligation at
once, so it can clean up the bills in
cident to construction of the new
building. RETURN FROM FUNERAL

Platters Vin
Game from the
Creighton Prep
By Score of 13 to 6 Locals Overpower
the Junior Blnejays Friday
Afternoon.
From Saturday's Dally
Playing a greatly improved game
over their initial effort last week
against North high of Omaha, the lo
cal high school football team yester
day afternoon humbled the fast and
aggressive Creighton Prep team on
the home lot. the Platters smashing
a record of defeats from the Omaha
team and making the second victory
of the year for the Platters.
The game was replete with thrillr
as the locals scored on the few bad
plays of the visitors and held a strong
defense against the savage efforts of
the Prepsters in the last half of the
game to redeem their failing cause.
The heavier line of the Creighton
team checked the locals of the line
plunges and straight football and the
Platters were unable to force the ball
through for downs while in their
scoring of the one touchdown the
visitors scoring ten first downs in
their one scoring but being effective
ly checked in their further attempts
to penetrate the Platters goal line.
In the second quarter the visitors
in the possession of the ball attempt
ed an aerial attack and a pass hurl
ed from the Creighton backfield was
intercepted by Ed Wescott. local
quarterback, who skirted the line for
a brilliant forty ward touchdown and
Bob Fitch place kicking added the
extra point to make the Platters ir
a place of leadership in the game.
With the opening of the third
quarter of the game the Platters
again added to their lead when Les
ter Stout picked off a blocked Creigh
ton punt and dashed for twenty-five
yards through the heavy and muddy
field for the second touchdown of
the Platters and giving them a real
lead in the battle. The try for the
extra point failed and left the score
standing 13 to 0 for the locals.
The visitors scored their six points
near the close of the third quarter
when Quarterback Summers started
the attack by skirting the Platts
mouth right end for a gain of eight
yards before he was forced down.
Onak led the Prepster attack with
repeated plunges. The Prepsters by
line plunges carried the ball for first
down and brought the pigskin to the
Platters six inch line, from which a
line plunge carried the ball over for
a touchdown but in the try for the
extra point the visitors failed to make
good.
The fourth quarter saw a very sav
age attack of the Prepsters turned
back by the locals who played a
strong and effective defense and
checked the last minute desperate
rallies of the visitors and held the
score to 13 to 6 as the final whistle
sounded and a new chapter was writ
ten in the football history of the lo
cal school.
