Louisville Bridge
Closed as the Ice
Forms a Menace
Structure Closed Last Night at
O'clock to Travel Through
Danger From Ice.
From Monday's Dally
The state bridge over the Platte
river tit Louisville was closed to
travel last night at 6 o'clock when
the menace of the ice movement near
the bridge in the channel of the
Platte made the structure unsafe for
travel.
The Platte has been gorged with
ice at several points as the river is
now hreaKing up and me ice starling
the move down to the mouth of the
river where it empties into the Mis
souri, a few miles nortn or tins city
The Loup and Elkhorn rivers have
been breaking up for several days
and the ice floating down these
streams have been added to the flow
in the Platte river and at Valley
and other points have formed serious
menaces to the bridges over the river
The Louisville bridge has suffer
ed a great deal in the past from the
bombardment of the large cakes of
ice and the forming of the gorges
in the river at that place constitutes
a real menace to the wooden bridge
that has suffered at several times
the carrying out of parts of the
bridge and which requires a great
deal of work to prevent damage from
the ice forming and sweeping down
! on the bridge.
I The bridge at Louisville having
one piling swept out on the north end
'of the bridge near the Sarpy side of
I the stream and which will be re
placed at once.
County Commissioner Fred Gorder
and a representative of the Sarpy
county commission were on the
ground today and material brought
to the scene to make the repairs at
once but for the safety of the travel
ers it was deemed best to keep the
bridge closed until the repairs could
be made.
NEW ATTORNEY HERE
From Tuesday's Iaily
Plattsmouth has a new attorney to
number among the members of the
profession, one who is new to the
city as a place of residence, but is
!an old friends and acquaintance of
' the larger part of the citizens of
Plattsmouth Charles L. Graves, of
Union, having come here last even
ing to take up his work as an attor
ney in this city, with offices in the
i'Gund building.
Those who have lived in Cass
county for any period of time needs
. no introduction to Charley Graves.
' genial gentleman and steadfast
i friend and as well a good lawyer and
. with a great many years of exper
ience at the bar. The residents of
this city, while they have no desire
to rob Union of their genial citizen,
are well pleased that Mr. Graves has
come here to make his home in the
future.
Mr. Graves has made his home in
Union for thirty-nine years and has
been a member of the Cass county
bar since 1887 when after spending
a number of years study under Allen
Beeson and A. N. Sullivan, veteran
members of the bar, he was admit
ted to practice.
For a great many years Mr. Graves
interspersed his legal work with the
newspaper game and was for years
the editor and publisher of the Union
Ledger until he sold the plant that
has since been taken from Union.
In his newspaper work Mr. Graves i
was a live wire and gave Union a
good newspaper and his retirement
from the newspaper game has been
a distinct loss to that community.
While born in the state of Iowa,
Mr. Graves has largely lived in Ne
braska and was a resident of Rock
Bluffs in his boyhood days where he
wa3 attending school under the late
Judge B. S. Ramsey and was one of
the boys that caused the Judge many
hours of study how to best handle.
We feel assured that we express
the sentiment of the Plattsmouth
people when we state that Charley
has a royal welcome here and with
the wish that his residence here may
bring success and happiness and that
he will enjoy the community here as
well as we feel assured the commun
ity will appreciate him.

irettino- n rate that will be as low
as the court decision will permit and

Opened Near
Imperial, Neb
Great Excitement as Well as Eearing
2.000,000 Cubic Feet of Gas
Reached Oil Prospects.
The vicinity om Imperial, Nebras
ka, is in the stage of the greatest of
excitement since Saturday as the re
sult of the work of drilling in that
locality for gas and oil and which
seems to being near a successful
stage, states W. E. Rosencrans of
this city, who has been in touch
with the situation.
A message was received by L. II.
Bonner, well known real estate man
of that locality, who is now in Oma
ha, Sunday, announcing that at the
depth of 2,400 feet of the well there
had been struck a flow of gas that
was yielding 2,000,000 cubic feet
and burned above the level of the
well. With the gas came a quantity
ot oil that was mast promising and
leads to the hope that when the gas
is pas-sed through that the large flow
of the oil may be reached.
The well is being continued and in
addition to the casing that has been
sunk, varying from 15 inches at the
top, there will be extended eight inch
casing trom the present level of the
well to the new depths to which the
well will be sunk.
The prospects of gas and oil in
this western Nebraska locality will
be very interesting news in this lo
cality where there is located many
land owners of the Chase county land
and as Imperial has manv old time
residents of Cass county, their
fi iends will be very much interested
in learning of the oil drilling oper
ations.
