BOY PASSENGERS INJURED SUFFERS FROM WOUND From Friday's Day Clate Rosencrans, master barber and golfer, was noticed to have one of his digits bandaged up and the rest of his person largely covered with iodine and which led to an in quiry from the Journal representa tive as to the why and wherefore of tb- lacerations. It was thought that perhaps Clate had suffered an accident with the celebrated "No. 1," but the car wae noticed in its usual excellent condi tion with the windshield unbroken and which made the mysterious ac cident even more baffling until the fact was ascertained that the injuries were caused by the change in tem perature and which should be a warn ing to others when they are hot not to seek frigid atmosphere. When approached by the reporter on the matter, Mr. Rosencrans stated, "No, I do not think Smith will carry Iowa, it looks like it might rain if the weather does not continue clear, yes, Bob Walling has defeated me at golf." This it the whole story of the accident in a nutshell. La Grange, Ind., Aug. 8. Thirty persons were injured tonight, five seriously when a Greyhound bus, traveling from Chicago to Cleveland went off the pavement six miles west of here and turned over. The bus careened from the pavement and turned over in a ditch. The driver who was badly hurt said he lost con trol when he was blinded by the bright lights of a passing car. The bus was wrecked. Doctors and nurses were called from here and many injured were taken to nearby houses. The more seriously injured were brought to L Grange in ambulances. The driver of the car whose lights blinded the bus driver was stopped but his name was not learned. We are indebted to Karl R. Koer-1 per, advertising manager of the Ash Grove Lime & Portland Cement com pany for the following excellent es say on the "Stout House," which wae written by John C. Burke, a student at the North High school in Omaha. Because it is one of Louisville's old-; est landmarks, Mr. Koerper could see its value as a story for our readers. , The second paragraph of the essay is incorrect in stating that prisoners j were confined in cells in the base- ment. The original purpose of the builder, the late W. H. B. Stout, was to use convict labor in the quarries and house them in cells in the eel-J lars, but through political changes his plans miscarried and no prison ers were ever kept at the mansion i The cells were built but were never barred. The impression has gone out that these cells were used for, prisoners and it has been difficult to! dispel the belief in the story. Once the guard of the whole Platte valley, the old "Stone House" now stands mournfully on its hilltor; awaiting perhaps even knowing ! its impending doom. For it is doom- J ed. A cement company has bought ! the hill on which it stands and soon this ancient mansion will be ground; into powder and mixed into mortar. Long since deserted by the prison ; laborers who were chained in its t gloomy cellars, and the gay revelers who danced and drank in the draw- J ing rooms above, it has become an; object of curiosity to the tourist ami ' the wayfarers who chance to pasf ! through or near Louisville, Nebraska ! Among the reverberating walls one's , voice rouses echoes of clanking chains' i or merry music and tinkling glasses I What tales those stones could tell if they could but speak! j Mexican workmen from the stone' pits have stripped it nearly of all the woodwork, so that it now stand?! shell-like, devastated of its floors ! and with here and there a flight of,: stairs hanging from the third story' The inner walls covered with dates j and initials, still show faint tone? of blue, green and pink decorations. The outer walls built of gigantic stones are visible for miles up am' , down the river, for the house occu- j pies the highest point in the vicinity, i The myriads of glassless windows arc t like cavernous eyes peering out over; the orchard anil grounds which still give evidence of their former gran- teur. The walls of the barns, stable and kennels remain, although the roofs have fallen in, and west of the house is an old cave with solid stone steps and an oak door frame. The cement company will dyna mite it for reasons of safety and tc make space for more modern improve ments. So it will fall another mile stone passed in the trend of humar progress, another landmark sacrificed; to the advance of civilization.
