Veteran Attends Meeting William Balfour of Nehawka Leave: for the National Encamp ment at Denver Last Saturday William Balfour eighty-three and one half years of age, of Nehawka, . and one of the valliant Americans who fought tc dark days of . the Civil war, who was a member of the 45th Illinois vol unteers, and amember of Company J which was raised ;xt Waukeegan, 111. deported for Denver where he. went to attend the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Balfour after he had returned from the war then just a young man and entering into his twenties came west and settled in" Otoe county where he has resided for over sixty years. He settled on a farm in the early days of the , state, and has. re mained there evr ; since. He said had lived on the old home place for a short time that he had learned to love his . neighbois and the attach ment . has grown ; so strong that he had never any inclination to make his. home elsewhere. During thv years which has has resided in Ne braska, he has never been called upon to serve on a Jury, never attended a law suit, never was sued or sued any one else. This is a wonderful record for an excellent citizen which he it. ' While he lived on the farm for these sixty years, and was during the time within thirty miles of Platts mouth, he was never there during the forty-eight - years of his residence during that time he had had no busi ness there it being in another county and he found it a good policy to keep his nose out of places where he had no business. He enlisted when quite young, and it was through the In fluence of his father who was r lieutenant of the company, in which he was also a member. Their ser vice was mostly in Tennessee, they fought at Ft. McHenry, Donaldson and Shiloh, at the battle of Donald son, the rather, James uauour was wounded from which he recoverec and at a later period, had an arm shot off at the battle of Shiloh, and was sent home on a furlough, and the son our Wm. Balfour being sick was also sent home with the fa ther. The father being very seriously wounded, grew weaker as they neared home, and at the station next to their home expired, notwithstanding he was fighting bravely to get home tc the loved ones before the end.

Score on Wild Heave The old adage that the third time is a charm worked on the Julian- Essex baseball team of Omaha yester day afternoon at, the local park when the Platters nosed them out by a score of 5 to 4, the Omaha team hav ing , been victors in the two games earlier in the season. The visitors were on the lead the greater part of the game and gam ered fifteen hits as well as several errors on the part of the locals tc help them on and were still unable to win altho Plattsmouth hit but seven bingles off the delivery, of Monroe. With the score tied in the eleventh frame a bad throw from Monahan to Tony and the return to home al lowed Bill Distell to tally the win ning run for the Plattsmouth team n the gathering twilight and per mitted the small but enthusiastic crowd of fans to wend their way homeward, Monroe starting the trou ble when he gave Distell the base on balls that spelled the undoing of his team and the loss of the game. The visitors were first to register in the first of the' third inning when Lairds gained first on the error of Xt i s U U -a ad 'wf 3., rl fie g d -' io-'eecorid by Tony, Monahan : following, with a walk ' and on successive hits by Davis and Wicker both Laird and Monahan registered at the plate. After the third the game was see saw back and forth with the visitorr hitting freely but unable to get any where and both drawing many free trips to the inital sack. In the last of the sixth inning the Platters took the lead when three runs came over the plat to threaten the chances of the Omaha ball tos- sers. i McCarthy opened with a fly tc third .and was followed by Distel! he aCied av stolen base. r&hirley was out on a grounder, Monroe to Wicker and then Hans Newman picked on one of . the slants . of the Omaha hurlei for two bags and scored, Distell and when Trumble hit to center Hanr came ; home. O'Donnell was hit bj Monroe and Spidell and lvoboda were each given a free trip to first. Trum ble being able to score when Monahan threw wild to third to ciktch the run ner. This ended the scoring as Mason was struckout. In the- seventh the visitors tied up the score when Monaha:a opened the Inning with a safe blow to left and was followed by Davis with an out at right on a long fly. Wicker was to right Monahan ""scored" and the game was again tied up. Both teams had men on the sacks in the succeeding innings but were unable to connect with the scoring and at the ninth inning the tie con? tinued and forced the game into the extra frames. Both teams scored one each in the tenth. In the first of the eleventh the vis itors were able by errors to get the first two men up on bases but were unable to score as Trumble threw Steak out at first and struck out Mon roe while Bill Mason gathered in the fly or Laird in center field. Plattsmouth opened in the eleventh with Distell getting a welk and being able to pilfer second while Klauschie was striking out and Newman secured a walk. When Trumble grounded to Smith at short the chances of the locals looked bad with two gone, but Distell playing off third drew the fire of Monahan who made a poor throw and Distell started home, the return of Tony going wide and allow ing the runner to score and the game was all over.

Bridge Over Missouri River Not Far Distant Word of Approval of Plans by Kansas City Department Means Work May he Started Soon. From Tuesday's Dally The auto and wagon bridge that is the span the Missouri river at this place has progressed a step farther to the time when the contract can be let and actual work on the structure commenced and the matter will be pushed now in the hope of having the main piers of the' bridge placed before the first of the year. The representatives of the War de partment who held"ythe hearing at Kansas City, Mo., a few weeks ago, have approved the plans and the re quest of the Plattsmouth Bridge com pany for the location of the new bridge south of the present Burling ton bridge and their approval will doubtless be ratified by the War de partment at Washington when the plans arrive there for the considera tion of the final heads of the depart ment. The bridge company is all ready with their plans and specifications to let the contract for the bridge as soon as the final approval is granted and the plans for the bridge have been submitted to the great international ly k.n oTOZflrnr nf pnjitt"rttoTtry & neers, Modjeska & Chase, of Phila delphia, whose work has been gener ally recognized by the War depart ment In projects of this kind. The bridge plans are prepared by some of the leading engineers of the country . and provide for a bridge of the latest type with concrete roadbed and which will be some 200 feet in height from the top of the steel su perstructure to the base of the main piers which will rest on bed rock. The piers placed over the navig able portion of the river will stand 53 feet above the level of the water,! while on the west approach the pier will taeasure some 73 feet aboi'e te wtv.,The jridge will, have grad ual slope from the west approach to the Iowa side of the . river. The arrangements for the highway that leads . to the bridge are now in process of negotiation and will pro vide for a very- beautiful river drive over the top of Wlntersteen hill to the bridge, as far as the present plans are concerned, but the roadway may be changed to give the best possible routing into the city. On. the east side of the river, the bridge company plans an under track crossing with the Burlington, but the location of the highway on that, side of the river depends greatly on the desiresand wishe-f ihajQw&. peo ple inwhose" territory the "road" Is located. The bridge company will keep in close touch with the situation when the plans reach Washington and hope within the next two weeks to have the final O K of the War department on the plans and the location and then the contract may be let and the actual bridge construction be . but a matter of a very short time. Sidetracks for material . will be built by the Burlington on both the Nebraska and Iowa sides of the river, so that the material can be hurried to the scene and unloaded, and the total amount of material used in construc tion of the new bridge will be sev eral trainloads. . NOW JUDGE GRAVES Attorney , Charles L. Graves has an added distinction that has Just been heaped upon him, as he is the defacto police' judge of the City of Plattsmouth,- being designated' by Mayor John P. Sattler to serve in that ca pacity while Judge William Weber is confined to his home by illness. The position Is not a new one to Mr. Graves, however, as he was for a number of -years the dispenser of justice at Union and being a practic ing attorney, his knowledge of - the law .will make him especially valu able in the offile. - . The acting policer judge had hard ly donned the judicial -ermine when he was confronted with a case aris ing from some Nebraska City parties having driven their auto through the city at a speed greater than the law allows. The parties had put up " a bond for their appearance and as the hodr for the answer of ihe defendants passed, the bond was declared for feited and the city was that much richer as the result. . EHXS LARGE SNAKE From Monday's Dally - Yesterday Dean Bogenreif and Mel vin Barr and sister, Miss Elsie, had an experience with a native rattler in the vicinity of King hill where the members of the party were enjoy ing a short outing. The snake was killed by Dean and measured some three, feet in length, was five Inche? through and had eleven rattlers . and a button, indicating, so the residents there stated, that . the -snake was twelve -years of age. - This is the Sec ond snake of this kind, that has been killed in this summer, in that locality, the first one having -had fourteen of the rattler. PLATTSMOUTH LOSES OPENER From Monday's Dally Yesterday afternoon the Platts mouth football team motored over to Malvern, Iowa, to tangle with the town team at that place. The result ' was Malvern 19, Plattsmouth 0. J This is the first game that the lo- cal3 have played and their lack of practice and working out was evident in the attacks of the Iowa player? and who found but little difficulty in getting away with the locals. However, Malvern has a real team, the boys report, an average of 190 on the team and the greater part of the players former college footbal' men while the local team is composed largely of shop employes and whe have but little time to get their prac- tice. However, the games from now on will take on another aspect a? the locals become more seasoned and experienced.
