Bad Roads are Order of Day in This State Stretches of King of Trail Highway Are Impassible in Many Places to the South The King of Trails highway, N'o 75, from Omaha south to Kansas City seems to be one of the hardest hit highways in the west according rsn j to the reports from the various sec- LnJ jtions of the territory through which i the road passes and the gravel siir- ; face of the highway has been cut by ! the heavy trucks and busses so that it is impassible in many places. The highway was damaged very much recently by the melting snows and frost coming out of the ground and in the vicinity of the Pappio north of this city the road was over flowed by this small but troublesome stream and which has made neces sary the Oiling of many places with crushed rock, this being used in places north of Fort Crook as well as just north of the Fort Crook rail road crossing and along the stretch south of the Pappio bridge. In this immediate section bad places have developed near the Glen Vallery place north of this city and south between this city and Mynard and while the road department has done work with the crushed rock to aleviate the worst of the condition travel is still far from pleasant. However, this section of the highway lis open for travel and in better shape than many places tanner soutu along the highway. North of Union a very bad place has existed since the melting of the snow and which has been made more serious by the rain of Sunday and requiring planking to permit travel and through this stretch the lighter cars have been able to move but checking the heavier motor vehicles. From Nebraska City to the south the highway has been cut up very bad and travel by the busses has been at a standstill and Sunday ser vice on the Omaha-Kansas City line was abandoned and now only the smaller and lighter busses are able to get through on the detours. Many places on the "0" street road have also been poorly for the past several days and made neces sary repairs on some 300 feet of the highway but owing to the condi tion of the ground the road will not be in good condition until the gravel has been dried up and repacked again. The state department of public works is studying the problem of the heavy travel on the highway rrora the extremely large busses and trucks which operating over the highway In the wet and sloppy weather seem to have done a great part of the damage to the surface except in cases where overflows have served to wash off the gravel or soften the surface of the highway by the accumulation of water and mud. 51 S HELD FAMILY REUNION COMBINATION Modern - Old Time Elks to Give Minstrel at tl D 1 1 L.l. i -- 0011 hite i Sunday the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Lohnes was the scene of a very pleasant family reunion, which mark ed the passing of the 37th wedding anniversary of this estimable couple.

Shopp and daughter, Marjorie, who, with Miss Olive Jones, were visitors for the afternoon.

Frank Ferris Badly Injured and Ed Schliscke Receives Scalp Wound when Struck by Timbers From Tuesday's D"' Another very serious accident oc curred late yesterday afternoon at the site of the new auto and wagon bridge over the Missouri river at this point, when Frank Ferris, of St. Louis, received a fractured skull and Ed Schliscke, of this city a scalp wound when a part of the wooden forms fell in on them. The two men were engaged in working on the interior of one ot the piers on the Nebraska side of the river as the wooden forms were being removed and a part of one of these fell inward and onto the two men. Mr. Ferris was dangerously injur ed it was thought l.Tfct evening as he was brought to the office oi' Dr. J. S. Livingston, apparently suffering from a fracture of the skull just above the right ear and was in sunn condition that it was thought best to have him removed to the Immanuel hospital at Omaha for an X-ray examination of the head and for treatment. The injury to Mr. Schl!scke. for tunately was not dangerous and con sisted of a cut on the scalp, which was treated and dressed and the in jured young man was able to be around as usual, aside from the sore ness and some pain caused by the injury. These accidents are the second and third in a two day period, as John Stett was fatally burned in the cais son on th'e Iowa side of the river Sunday night and died at the hos pital at Omaha yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. Both Mr. Stett and Mr. Fen is arc from St. Louis and came here with the Union P.ridge & Construction company force in laie December to work on the new bridge that is be ing erected by the Plattsmouth Uridge company to connect the states of Iowa and Nebraska at this point.
