Unable to Swim to Any Great Extent,

Yesterday afternoon Wayne Miller,

Mr. Miller had been enjoying the
water in the shallower portions of
the pool, where any depth can be
secured for the beginners and those
unable to swim, but he had evidently
decided to try and swim in the deep-'
er parts of the beach that are de
voted to the expert swimmers and
for diving. The young man, unable
to make much progress in the swim
ming, evidently became frightened '
and lost his control and floundered !
in the water for a few seconds and
then sank from sight and as there
were not a great many at the beach !j
at the time, hi;? plight was not at
first noticed and Miller had sank the
second time when the life guard came
to his rescue, but before the guard
could reach him. Miller had gone
down for the third time and was
under water several minutes when
the guard was able to rescue him and
get him out of the water to where
aid could be given him.
It required some thirty minutes to
bring the young man back to a point
where he was out of danger from the
effects of the unlucky plunge and
medical aid and the life guard and
friends had to labor with him strenu
ously to resuscitate him.

John Crahill, local jeweler, who is
a loyal Legion booster and always
gm ready to aid in any good cause, has
'offered to engrave free of charge the
four medals to he awarded winning
contestants in the Legion's recent
essay contest that ran concurrently in
the different counties of the state.
! Three Cass county Legion posts
lElmwood, Nehawka and Plattsmouth
i contributed to the purchase of the
gold, silver and bronze medals that go
to the county winners, and a public
presentation ceremony is being ar
ranged when these and the first state
award will be presented to winning
1 contestants.
Miss Mary Pollard, of Nehawka,
in addition to winning first place in
the county contest, received the sig
nal honor of having her essay select
ed by the judges as the best among
.those turned in from some fifty coun
ties of the state, and will receive at
j this ceremony both the state and the
county awards.
On the reverse of the medals will
be engraved the word "First," "Sec
ond," "Third" or "Fourth," as the
case may be, and the additional word
ing "Cass County Essay Contest
(1928" with the winner's name if
there is room for it.
j Mr. Crabill is engraving the med
als today prior to leaving on a vaca
tion trip, and they will be placed on
display in the window of his store
from now until the date of awarding
same, which will be determined at a
conference in Louisville tomorrow.
J Mr. Crabill has always shown a
friendly interest in the Legion and
his generous offer to engrave the med
als free of charge is greatly appreciat
ed by not only the local post, but the
other posts over the county that are
contributing to the expense of fur
nishing the medals.

is well on the road to recovery. He

INJUNCTION IS REFUSED
St. Louis, July 12. A special
three-judge federal court late today
denied an injunction sought by
North Carolina and Georgia shippers
against new freight rates ordered by
the interstate commerce commission
to become effective July 14.
As a result of the new schedule
of rates, affecting various Commodi

southwestern sections of the country,
designated to equalize inconsistencies
in old schedules, will go into effect
Saturday.

freight car when the train, east
bound from Denver, stopped at Ash

Grigor was beaten by the railroad
officer and then shoved from the
moving car as the train was leaving
the station. He fell under the wheels
and his right leg was amputated a

If that is the case there can be
no plausible explanation why Ber

with his father in Cleveland or with
me. I know the boy well enough
to know that under normal circum

would be to send a telegram to one
of us. That he has not done. In my
mind that means he either is dead
or lying helpless, perhaps in a dying
condition in a swamp or in one of
the many fields of high weeds in the
vicinity of the railroad yards where
Grigor received his fatal injuries.
