Bkttt mi TWENTY-FOURTH YEA It NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 4, 1908. NO- Gl Fearful Accident at Ogalalla. Dr. D. T. Quigley was called to Ogalalla Wednesday noon to assist in caring for five persons who were badly injured by the collaspe Wednesday ioro noon of cement block houso at the resi dence of Peter Girman, a former North Platte resident. This building was situated in the rear of Mr. Girmnn's residence, and on top of it was a metal tank filled with sixty barrels of water. Mr. Girman, with the help of a stone mason named Alfred Fenstrum was at work connecting up the pipes, and there were also in tho building a hired man namo Frank Kalwiet and two of Mr. Glrman's sons aged respectively ten and seven yenrs. Mr. Girman was badly bruised on tho hend and chest, tho oldest boy had a leg so badly crushed that amputation was necessary, the younger boy had his collar bone broken and was bndly bruised and Kal wiet had a leg so badly crushed that amputation was necessary at the hip joint and he will probably die, while Fenstrum had bis shoulder dislocated and his head and body badly bruised. The collapse of the building was due to the weight of the roof tank. The Carnival. Tho carnival feature of tho present week has proven n furcessful one so far as evcryono having a jolly timo is concerned. The streets have been thronged with people each evening, and a noticeable increase in the num ber of visitors was apparent Wednes day and last evenings. The crowd grow so wild and boisterous Monday night that orders were issued by the city authorities prohibiting the use of wife-heaters, squirt guns, loaded rub ber balls and other articles in tho use of which tho crowd had become too freo with tho result that many com plaints wcro made. The prohibition of these had a tendency to greatly temper the actions of the crowd, but did not deprive them of tho pleasures ex tracted from contact with each other. Tho amusemont features have been well patronized, and tho carnival com pany seems well satisfied, Tho fire de partment shares in the receipts of the comnanyjnnd its share has averaged about forty dollars per night. The carni val will close tomorrow evening, and it is probnblo that tho evening will bo n particularly lively ono. Rev. Greenlee Will Resign. Rev. Thos. B.
