"Bums are Quits Numerous."
Murray has certainly teeu having
her share of genuine first-class bums
for the past few weeks and some j
too. Tuesday morning's through
freight train No 175 made a stop at
Murray to pick up some cars, some
thing it seldom does, and two negroes
were either endeavoring to board the
train or being put olf by the train
crew, it belngearlyln themorningand
very few people were astir In our little
tow n, so no one w itnessed the proceed
ings, but it is reported that the ne
groes became angered at not being per
mitted to ride and one of them pulled
a gun and opened tire upon Conductor
Marshall, who had charge of the train.
The shot fell wide of its mark, and we
understand the "coons" took to the
woods, and have not been seen since.
We are of the opinion that the proper
thing to do on an occasion of this sort,
Is that train crews be given the power
to stop their trains, arm themselves
with shot guns and secure sufficient
help to catch such Individuals, either
dead or alive, it would not make very
much difference.
The following night station agent
Martin, who lives in the second story
of the depot was awakened by four in
dividuals of a similar character, who
were swearing and telling of their ex
periences bumming over the country,
and what they were going to do when
the lirst train came along. Agent Mar
tin gave them orders to leave, which
they complied with when being in
formed that no train would stop there
before daylight.
A Birthday Party.
The birthday dinner given by Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Patterson In honor of
their little daughter, Eltle Marie, was
grand success. The little lady's
birthday was on the 27th of July. The
dinner was given on Sunday to make
It more convenient for her friends.
There were present Mr. and Mrs. John
Hall, Ruth Hall and Clifford Forbes
of Plattsmouth; Mr. and Mrs. I. S.
White, Mr. and Mrs. Mark White,
Mr. and Mrs. Will Rarker, Rosy,
Freddie and Cleo Barker and Marlon
Thomas. Among the many presents
was a lovely red silk dress from Mrs.
I. S. White: a pair of silk stockings
from Mrs. Mark White; a lovely sash
and glass from Miss Ruth Hall: a nice
handkerchief from Miss Rosy Rarker;
a nice doll from Marion Thomas: a
present from I. S. White, and a pres
ent from Mrs. Dane Hiatt, of Sidney,
la. The dining table was loaded with
good things and everybody enjoyed
themselves. They were expecting to
take a boat ride but the wind was in
the north, and this was a great disap
pointment;
