civic in character. Its money is ex
pended here.
Because in addition to its civic
work it furnishes instructive, inter
esting programs. It is a neutral
stimulant.

are within reach of all.
Because it gives each member an
opportunity to express her opinion
and influence in civic affairs of the
community.

! A different outlook on life is com
bing again for John Neff, 73. hermit
j farmer who has been living six miles
from Glenwood, la. He is in Jennie
Edmundson hospital, Council Bluffs.
I For weeks he had been so ill that
it was at times impossible for him
to move about, and living alone in
a secluded log cabin without money
or enough strength to avail himself
of the meager supply of food that
remained in his home when he was
taken with a heart attack. Neff con
cluded that he was doomed to a death
from starvation. t
"All I did was hope and pray that
death would come and put an end
to it all," Neff said at the hospital
Sunday.
i Wants to Return to Shack
His condition was reported to Mills
county officials Thursday by Frank
Webster, a painter working on the
Franz Clark farm nearby.. He was
ordered taken to a hospital. Dr. A.
A. Johnson found that he had not be
gun to suffer from actual starvation,
but was weak from his heart condi
tion. I Sunday Dr. Johnson told him he
is recovering. As a result he is look
ing forward to going back to his lit
' tie squatter shack, where he has
liaised potatoes and chickens for three
years.
: Savings Lost in Bank, Fake Cures,
j Neff has no known relatives ex
cept a brother, who was last known
; to live near Ida Grove, la. He is
,a bachelor, and worked for several
! years in Omaha. Then 20 years ago
! he was injured in an elevator shaft
j accident during construction of the
Y. M. C. A. and was forced to seek
'health on a farm.
Three years ago he left the Sam
'Raiser farm, near Pacific Junction,
where he was a hand, to live on
'property he claims as home.
A year ago the heart trouble forc
ed him to quit work. He has grown
steadily worse, he said yesterday. A
Ijife's accumulation of money, five
hundred dollars, was lost, partly in
the Lamb bank failure at Glenwood
and partly for cures that did not
work. "Good luck seemed to have
gone out the window, and when I got
so week I couldn't stand up. I just
lay down and waited," he said.
Water from a nearby creek was
brought for him each day by a young
son of Mr. Clark, and offers were
.made to help him, but he had scorn
led them all. he related,
i But Sunday, propped in a hospital
jbed. Xeff waited expectantly for the
arrival of a barber to improve his
personal appearance.

Locals Drop
Fast Game to
Manley Team
Score of 2 to 1 Marks a Great
Struggle at Manley Park
Sunday Afternoon
From Monday's a!ly
The Plattsmouth Athletics dropped
a heart breaking exhibition of the
national sport yesterday afternoon
at Manley when the fast team of
that place won by the score of 2 to
1 in a nine inning finish.
The game was a real one and kept
the fans keyed up to the highest
pitch for the entire nine innings
and the Plattsmouth team led by a
scare by 1 to 0 up to the last half
of the ninth wnen two errors and
two walks combined with a short
hit rocked the boat for the Athletics.
Alex Schliscke hurled a great
game for the Platters ind was touch
ed for only a few scattered bincles
while William Sheeban for the Man
ley team was also in the greatest
form and able to check the attempts
of the Athletics to score in the criti
cal stages.
In the last of the ninth a bobble
at the initial sack allowed a Man
ley runner to reach first safely and
with one out already checked against
the side. The two succeeding men
were walked and filling the bases
and at this stage of the game Sch
iisckewas relieved by McCarty who
had two strikes on Anderson, Man
ley batter, when the fatal break
;sme in the shape of a short single
over the head of Newman and on
which one run crossed the plate and
the second Manley man dashing for
the plate was apparently blocked by
the fast return of the ball from cen
ter field by Joe Krejci but as the
ball came with bullet like precision
to the plate. Frank Krejci. catching
hurried to tag the runner and the
hall was dropped and the big show
was all over.
The game was one of the !e;t that
the locals have participated in this
season and was a real treat to the
fans who motored out for the game.

SEEK BURIED JEWELS
On the old Tunnison farm, about
two miles west of Fort Crook, in
Sarpy county, are the graves of Gar
rett Tunnison and another member
of his family, who were buried about
4 0 years ago. On the farm, also, is
the grave of some woman member of
the family, buried at about the same
time, but the location of this grove is
known to only two or three pioneers
of Sarpy county. This woman, fo
fhe story goes, was buried in her
jewelry, which was said to be valu
able. Mrs. X. Luudgren. who now lives
on the farm with her husband, last
Memorial day planted a flower on the
trave of Garrett Tunnison. Recent
'y. when she went to water the
nlant. it was gone, and loose dirt
told that the grave had been tamp
ered with.
Late Saturday night Sheriff Old
erog and County Attorney Nolan,
with some residents in the neighbor
hood, investigated. They found thr-t
'he grave had been excavated to the
bottom, and filled up again. The
bones at the bottom were in disar
ray. Theory of the officers is that
ghouls mistook the grave for that
of the woman buried in her jewelry.
