ITALIANS START CUTTING AFFRAY COMMISSIONERS HOLD SESSION Ren lieikman. same No. 10 141.50 Claims allowed on the bride fund: Neb. Construction Co., bridge work . . .' $3,249.39 Same. lumber Forman Scott of Section Gang Settles Row Without Blood Being Spilled Yesterday Foreman Scott, who had been In command of the extra gang which livened up affairs a week or so ago by going on strike, received a new consignment of Italians and prepared to take up the track work where his old gang so unceremoniously left off. This new gang proceeded to fjrnish some en tertainment for the populace and some excitement for the sheriff's of fice lust evening when two of them engaged in war red, Internecine war. These two Italians, who shall for the purpose of this article be named Pietro and Lughl, had had trouble previous to coming to this municipality. Their real names are not printed out of consideration for the typesetting machine, it being too valuable a piece of machinery to risk their names on. Pietro, who Is the vllllan of the tale, came here with the reputation of being a trouble maker, and as really a sort of pocket edition of the Mafia. His country men, It Is said, tried to get him prized off the gang before they land ed here, but without success, and they then and there determined to serve him up as the poet has put It, a la gizzard, If he started anything. And sure enough, he started some thing. He engaged Lulgl in conver sation at the cars last evening and pleasantly referred to the latter's personal habits, and his ancestry In a manner anything but an fait, so to Fpenk. Further on he proposed to start a slaughter house right there, using Lulgl as the carcass. Lulgl expostulated and Pietro produced a large knife, and slashed at Lughl cutting a nice, long rip In his roat. Foremnn Scott, who was present, then Interfered In time to save Pletro's life, as Lulgl was real vexed at him and was on the verge of let ting his warm blood trickle down over the bright, pretty rails of the Burlington. As soon as Mr. Scttt interfered Pietro abandoned the fight and fled northwards along the tracks toward Omaha, pursued by small boys and men. Sheriff Qulnton and Deputy Manspeaker were no tified and Joined In the merry chase, but the villain gave the sheriff and his valiant deputy what is derisive ly termed the merry ha, ha, and acted like a regular scamp, refusing to come back when told to and tak ing to the woods. Since then he has never been seen and for ought the sheriff and his trusty deputy knows, he Is now basking in the shade of his own grape vine In sunny Italy, Others think he may have gone to Join the Weeping Water murderers or the Manley bank robbers. Maybe so; maybe not so. Anyway, he Is gone. Pietro was not injured except in his feelings. Foreman Scott states that the man was watched, as he had a bad reputation and the gang had tried to get him left behind, but the Inter preter thought he would give him a trial. The Beveral different sections of Italy produce men of different temperaments, according to experts on the subject, those from from the north of Italy making good, honest and energetl: workmen, sober, tem perate and althful, while from the southern end of the country comes the fightln?, unstable element who cannot be depended upon.

SEVENTY ONE YEARS That is the Number David S. Taylor Passed Last Monday Lust Monday night the home of David S. Taylor, In South Purk, was the scene of a pleasant gathering, some fifty of the aged gentleman's friends gathering to observe his sev- enty-frst birthday In a flt.lng man ner. The party was of the nature of a surprise nnd It completely tilled the bill. The aged gentleman was more than pleased at the manner In which his many friends showed their appreciation of his being with them for so many years, and was much af fected by the presents which were showered upon lit m. A resident of this city and vicinity for a number of years past, he Is one of the most populur of men among those who know him, nnd they could not do t-nough to show their appreciation of his excellent qualities. The evening was spent most pleas antly, the older folks Indulging In social conversation while tho young lokls made the airy inert y upon the lawn, Indulging In various games and pastimes. Later Ice cream nnd a pleasant and dainty luncheon was served, which all partook of with the utmost enjoyment. One very pleasant feature of the evening was an address by Kev. Luther Moore, who presented the honored guest with the presents which his good neighbors and friends had brought In. He felici tated him upon tho punning of the many milestones of a long life and trusted that tho three score and ten which hud been passed be far sur passed and a long life would be his lot. Rev. Moore'i address was pleasant one and handsomely suited to the occasion. Tho guest of honor was born sov enty-one years ago at a point twelv tulles northwest of Vlncennes, Ind Dear the Illinois state line, where h lived until his parents died at th age of 15 years. Ho then removed to Marlon, lit., where for thlrty-flv years lie was nn honored nnd Tv- tpecied member of tho community After n very few years there h nine'to this city, where ho hns lived ever since. Inning the progress of tin civil war Mr. T)lor Joined th army, enlisting from Linn county la., In the Tuclf'h lown Infantry and ho served throughout the wn with nn rxi client record ns a biav mn'i'er. ne was tho hero or nn cx iltlng Incident nt Capo Girardeau Mo., belli j captured by the roofed rates nnd kept a prisoner fur ten days, when he was recaptured by the Union arms. He was also in the me morable siege cf General Grant. .Mr. Taylor's anniversary fell by a queer coincidence upon that of several other Plattsmouth citizens, or rather their birthday fell upon his, as he Is the nestor of them all. These were Colonel J. H. Thrasher, M. L. Johnson, M. S. Briggs, Grover Ruff ner, Mrs. George Farley, Louise Trilloty,' and last but not least, In fant Wtui, the new son of E. A. Wuii and wife. In Mew of the lat ter young man entering the world the day of the anniversary nt Mr. Taylor's his fond father presented Mr. Taylor with a fine cigar, some thing which the recipient appre ciated. The entire occasion was a very happy one. bons Remington Typewriter Co., supplies P. F. Goos, meals to Jury. T. S. C. Dabb, labor at court house Neb.

D. CLEM DEAVER, General Agent, Land Seekers Information Bureau, Omaha, Neb. The Telephone Goes On. A wire stringing gang Is sow at work on the Burlington's main line west of Sutton, working toward Hastings, preparing for the installa tion of the telephone between Lin coln and Kearney for train dispatch ing purposes. When this wire Is placed and one or two little branch lines connected up, the use of the telegraph In the dispatcher's office of the Lincoln division will be dis continued. Less than two years ago articles were published In the papers from telegraphers pointing out the impos sibility of the use of the telephone for train dispatching purposes, and calling attention to alleged dangers resulting irom its use. Now every big system In the country Is using the telephone to some extent for train dispatching and to consider able extent for the transmission of railroad messages. Tress messages are now being received over railroad wires in Nebraska, where telegraph operators are not In service. The Burlington is now using on itc lines west of the river telephones on all the lines of Its Omaha di vision, excepting the Sioux City line, on Its main line northwest from Lincoln to Ravenna, and on many other divisions on the system. An expert telephone operator in the employ of the Burlington Is re ported to have recently taken on a typewriter eighteen railroad mes sages, of average length, in less than that number of minutes.

In county court this morning a petition was filed by Mrs. Mary Egenberger, asking for the appoint ment of an administrator of the es tate of the late J. V. Egenberger, her deceased husband. J. II. E (Eddie) Egenberger Is named as ad ministrator. The value of the per sonal property Is fixed at $2,000 and the realty at $7,000. The hearing Is set for August 24. Matthew Ger- lng Is counsel for the petitioner. With the Sick. The latest reports from Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Osborne are more assur ing. This morning Mr. Osborne was able to set up for the first time, staying up some twenty-five min uses. His condition Is reported as much more favorable than it has been, and there is every reason to believe that he will make a speedy recovery. Mrs. Osborne is also re ported as progressing nicely, and it is believed her recovery will also be very rapid and complete. This is good news for the many friends cf this estimable couple, and all trust that they will soon be able to be out and about once more. Reports from Mrs. Lydia Newiand are also rather more encouraging, and hopes are entertained that she may eventually completely recover. Her children take a more hopeful view of her condition, and trust that the rally which she has made will be permanent. Frank Svoboda did not rest so well last night and this morning, a physician being summoned at 5 o'clock, on account of a dangerous sinking spell which he had. Owing to his weakened condition these spells are very dangerous and each renders the chances for recovery more remote. His many friends would be pleased to note a complete let-up in them so that strength might be gained. The reports from Omaha, where Mrs. Alice Towle Is at the hospital, were very gloomy this morning. Her condition was so bad that her par ents and other relatives were no tified to come to the hospital at once, as the end might come at any time. It is to be hoped, that their mourful forecasts are erroneous and that they will find her condition much better than hoped for on their ar rival there. Mrs. Lillian K. Hasse Is reported as getting along as well as condi tions will permit at the hospital in Omaha, although her Illness is of a very serious nature and there Is not much room to hope for any very favorable trun at present. She has been 111 for so long that her condl ton Is quite weak, and this militates against her chances. It may be, however, that change for the bet ter will come nt any time and that her recovery will soon take place. Her friends certainly hope for this happy state of affairs. Returns to Her Duties. We omitted, unintentionally, how ever, yesterday to mention the return of Miss Mary Foster, county superln tendent of schools, who, in company with her parents, has been on a vis iting nnd recreation trip in the east. We are pleased to stnte that her trip was a most enjoyable one, nnd that her much-needed rest from her con tlnuous and arduous duties hns brought the desired results. Miss Foster Is looking remarkably well, nnd Is right down to official duties again. To Open New Brokerage House. Plattsmouth Is to have a new grain commission house, M. L.
