Fire in Car
of Frank Gofeeiman
Causes Damages
Shortage in Wiring Causes Fire tha
Threatened Destruction of Car
Loss $200 or $250
From Monday's rally
Ths morning Frank R. Cobelirm:)
the painter and d '-curator. had ;
close call from losing his automobile
ana garage at tin- rear of his store
building as the result of a fire start
ing in the car. Mr. Gobelman had
gone to the gai age a little after i
o'clock this morning to start the car
not having driven it for a w-f k. and
as ue steppcii on trie starter the car
refused to go and several times h
tried it and then noticed a light
from under the hood :;nd investi
gation disclosed that a lire was rag
ing under tne hood and was roaring
right along.
Mr. Gobelman attempted to extin
gmsh the hlaze by smothering it with
some of the drop cloths used in his
painting work but this was without
avail as the fire was raging so bad
ly that the cloths caught afire. He
nau in tne meantime narked tne car
partially out of the door where a
bank of snow prevented getting
the car entirely in the clear, and lie
attempted then to secure snow and
throw on the blaze hut this was
without success and he called to Miss
Meisinger in the main store room
to call the tire department.
Refore the arrival of the depart
ment, several of the occupants of the
adjoining stores hurried to the scene
with fire extinguishers and by their
efforts the blaze was finally extin
guished, but not until a great deal
of damage was done to the car. Th?
paint on the hood was burned off and
also on a part of the front fenders
and what other damage may have
been done to the radiator and other
parts of the car.
The fire is supposed to have ori
ginated in a short in the wiring and
the loss will be covered by insur
ance and will probably reach from
to ?25i as the car was new
and had not been driven a great j
deal by the owner. !

PUSH CONSTRUCTION WORK
The completion of the changes at
the sub-station of the Iowa-Nebraska
ight fc Power Co.. in order to pro
vide for the hardling of the n-w
high power transmission lines to Ne
braska City and the south, is being
pushed rapidly, the workmen being
busy every day and Sunday on the
windiip of the work and yesterday
s''.w tne on section to hnndle Hip
new line complete, oltho there are
some small matters to be taken care
of later when the force returns here.
The new sections that are installed
are on tno south portion of the giant
lines of transformers and there will
be a new section built to carry the
Murray and Nehawka lines which
are now handled in : temporary
small sub-station near Murray.
The light and power company
have not allowed the cold weather
to interfere with their work and
the concrete bases used for the tow
ers and metal frame to carry the
lines and switches, was laid in the
cold weather and enabled the other
work to be carried on right along
despite the cold weather
WINTER PLEASES KIDS
The cold and snow that drives
many of the residents of advanced
years to the vicinity of the radiator
or stove, is equally welcomed by the
lads and lasses out in the open with
the pleasures of coasting or skating
to help them enjoy this bracing cold
weather.
The snow of the past week has af
forded many of the youngsters a
chance to try out the sleds received
on Christmas, the greatest problem
being to find a place where one may
slide or coast without the danger of
being run into by an auto, as most
of the good coasting hills leads into
the main highways where there is
much traffic. The boys and girls who
reside in the west part of the city
have the advantage of those nearer
the business secton ais they have ar
ranged a fine sliding place on west
Main street from Fourteenth street
west to the foot of the hill.

Political Mara
thon is Attract
ing Great Many
Inquiries as to the Dates of the 1930
Primary as Well as the Offices
Are Coming In.
From Monday's Daily
The list of entries for the political
races ot l!MU will he numerouss
judging from the inquiries that are
now coming into the office of County
Clerk George R. Sayles as to the dates
of filing as well as the various offices
that are to be filled.
The party nomination will be made
at the primary election to be held
on Tuesday, August 12th, Mr. Sayles
states, and the tilings for any of the
offices may be made at any time from
now until the night of July 3rd when
the bars are down and the candidates
set for the first lap of the race.
The primary and general election
of 1930 will include practically all
of the state and county offices, the
full list of the state officers being
on the block.
In Cass county the offices to be
filled will include state senator for
the second district of Cass, Sarpy
and Otoe counties, state representa
tive, county clerk, county treasurer,
county sheriff, register of deeds, two
commissioners from the second and
third districts, county assessor, clerk
of the district court, county surveyor,
county superintendent.
While there has been no filings
made at this time there will be a
very large number no doubt, the
filing for the office of sheriff seeming
ly being the attraction of a large
number of both the democratic and
republican tickets as it is expected
that there will be from five to six
candidates on both tickets for this
office.
Other offices have not so far drawn
a great deal of attention but by the
time of the primary there should be a
full house ready to take the stump in
the primary campaign.

Emmett Rice

to the Groun
Residence in South Part of City
Completely Destroyed Ovner
Has Close Call in Fire
frfim Wednesdays "PaSlv
The residence of Kmmet Rice, just
south of the city, near the Mike Imtz
home, was burned to the ground at
an early hour this morning and Mr.
Rice, aroused by a neighbor that had
discovered the lire, had difficulty in
making his escape through a window
in his room, escaping in his night
clothes and barefooted from the blaz
ing structure.
The fire was discovered at 3 o'clock
this morning by Pete Thomas, who
resides just across the road, the glare
of the flames arousing him from his
sleep and he glancing out saw the
roof of the Rice home ablaze and
burring across the road, he aroused
Mr. Rice as the fragraments of the
plastering in the home started fall
ing and the flames swept into the
main floor of the house.
The structure was a one Ptory
four-room house and it is supposed
that the fire originated from an over
heated or defective flue and allowed
the fire to get a gopd start on the
roof of the house before it was dis
covered. Mr. Rice was able to save
a little bedding from his room as he
escaped from the house, but the fur
niture and family clothing was all
burned in the destruction of the
home.
Mrs. Rice and the children were
at the Frank Rice home at the
time
of the fire and Mr. Rice was alone.
The home is valued at $2,500 and
the house and contents were insur
ed at some $1,500. The house being
located outside of the fire limits it
was impossible to secure the services
of the city water service, hut with
the rapid progress of the flames the
hoime was practically doomed when
the blaze was discovered.
FIRE GUTS BELL HOME
P'rorn Wednesday's Daily
This morning at 10: "0 fire at the
residence of S. W. Bell on Walnut
street between Ffth and Sixth, did
i. gr.?rit deal of damage to the resi
dence and practically gutted the in
terior of the home.
The fire originated when pipes in
the basement of the house were be
ing thawed out, the blaze snddonly
catching a part of the woodwork cf
the cellar and swept up between the
walls of the house and soon was
spreading at a very rapid rate and
endangering the entire structure.
The fire department responded at
once to the call but the fire was dif
ficult in fighting and soon was un
der such headway that it was with
difficulty that it was checked and
the structure saved. The fire burned
a great deal of the floors of the house
and the plastering on practically all
of the rooms was damaged by the
heat and the water that was neces
sary to use in saving the house.
The firemen and neighbors who
reached the scene early were able
to get the furniture and belongings
out of the house without damage and
these were taken to the homes of
neighbors to be cared for until the
family could secure other living
quarters.
The house was partially covered
by insurance.
