Man Employed in Clay Pits Near That Place Attacks Straw Boss
and Proceeds to Chew His Nose Off.
From Tuesday Pally.
The town of Louisville yesterday
had some real excitement in a battle
between the straw boss at one of the
clay pits north of the river and one
of his workmen. Owing to the happy
arival of Fred Masters, a prominent
young man of that city, the straw
boss wa3 saved from being either
killed or badly mutilated as the man
was giving him a very, very bad half
hour at the time help reached him.
According to the story told by the
man later, he had been employed at
the clay pit under the straw boss and
the latter "had it In for him," and
gave him the worst work In the pit.
He kept this up until the man de
termined that he would wait an op
portunity and get his revenge. With
this end In view the man came across
from the pits to town with the boss
and when they were near the sema
phore at the crossing of the Burling
ton and Missouri Pacific railroads,
the battle was opened. The man pro
ceeded to' start In on his theory of
revenge and rapidly knodked seven
kind3 of daylights out of the boss.
The latter fought back but was
no match for the man who Is a big,
burly fellow and one with a decided
ly evil disposition. The latter soon
had the unfortunate boss down and
after giving him a severe beating was
engaged in the merry pastime of bit
ing oft his nose, aparently intending
to eat him alive. It seemed like a
return to nature as the man fought
with a ferocity seldom seen and was
actually like an animal in his actions.
The boss set up a great cry for help
and fortunately Masters who was
passing in the neighborhood heard
him. The fight had attracted quite
a crowd but none had offered to in
terfere and when Masters came up
he 6aw that the boss was well on
t'ie way toward being killed Mast
ers says he realized the danger the
boss was in and intended to kick the
fellow in the head to make him let
lose his grip as blows had no effect
on him. Then fearing that he might
kill the man, he concluded to choke
him into submission. This he did
by getting-a firm grip on the man's
throat and chocking him until he was
black in the face when he released
his grip on the nose of the boss. The
man was then, dragged off and the
boss got on his feet. The nose of
tne doss was cut aown me siae Dy
the man's teeth. and the end of the
member missing.
The man also went up town and
had not been there long until he met
Henry Cline and started something
with him, while standing in front
of Dier Bros, store. He did not give
that gentleman any more time than
he had given the boss to get in action
and proceeded to hit Cline a terrific
blow in the mouth, laying both his
upper and lower Hps open to the
bone. This resulted in City Marshal
Seybert being on hand and taking the
man into custody.. He did not offer
resistance to the marshal who is a
big and powerful man and whom the
fellow stood in fear of. Cam landed
His Mysterious Disappearance is
Surprise to All.
From Tuesday' Dally.
From near Wabash comes a story
to the effect that one of the well
known, upright and aparently sane
citizens or that locality has mys
teriously dropped out of sight and
left his family considerably worked
up over the event. On Sunday, May
1, Mr. Lawton who farms southeast
of the thriving little town of Wa
bash entered into the bosom of his
family with the startling anounce
ment that he was going to Wabash
to attend church. He was dressed
in his Sunday go-to-meeting clothes
and bis solemn meln attested the
fact that he intended fully to make
good and worship Divine Providence
according to the dictates of his con
science. In some manner unknown
to his family or the good people of
Wabash, he failed to connect and If
he Is worshiping, it seems to be at
sonic other shrine as he has not found
his way to the Wabash place of wor
ship. According to all reports Lawton
was a straight, forward, upright and
hardworking man and his accounts
and family relations alike appear to
have been in the best of shape. Ills
family is greatly worried over his

his man in the city lockup where
he was kept over night. This morn
ing he was taken before Justice Wood
and on the hearing was found guilty
of an assault and sentenced to serve
thirty days in the county Jail, the
last ten day to be on' bread and wat
er. Marshal Seybert together with
Messrs. Fred and Charles" Masters,
came down to the city this morning
with the prisoner and he was safely
lodged in jail.
It is not known positively whether,
a complaint charging mayhem will
be filed against the fellow or not as
the man whose nose was chewed up
did not come down. It is the under
standing of the Messrs. Masters that
the boss will file a complaint against
the man as soon as his term for
the assault on Cline Is finished. The
circumstances have been laid before
County Attorney Ramsey who will in
vestigate the trouble at once and
take tho necessary steps to see the
man is punished.
From the description of the man
given by Marshal Seybert and the
Messrs. Masters, it is plain he Is a
vicious and desperate character. The
gentlemen describe him as one of
the most villainous looking custom
ers they ever saw and, coming down
on the train, he was kept constantly
under surveilance lest he start some
thing and commit an even more dan-
gerous crime than any yet. He Is
strong and powerful and capable of
working much damage. He is a
stranger in Louisville, having spent
most of his time at the clay pits on
the north side of the river,
The name of the fellow who creat
ed all the disturbance is given as
Arthur McVey, although the authori
ties at Louisville have some doubt
as to whether that is correct or noti
It turns out that he has been making
himself some strong reputation In the
neighborhood while he has been there
In the shape of terrorizing the natives
by his warlike conduct. He has been
particularly vicious toward the tower
man at the semaphore there, a man
named Stonehuck. He has repeated
ly terrorized the latter by making
warlike demonstrations calculated to
make him climb into his tower and
stay there and even talked of mak
ing him climb a telephone pole. He
is said to have flourished his dagger
at this man several times and to
have intimated to him that various
parts of his anatomy would be cut
into steaks and chops and the like
when he got through with him. Stone
buck identified him this morning
when Marshal Seybert brought him
down to the depot, as the man whose
peculiar idea of joking had proven
so annoying to him. He stands a fair
chance of being prosecuted for his
actions in this case also.
Marshal Seybert intends to buy
himself a pair of handcuffs for such
characters unless the village board
of Louisville gets busy and buys them
for him. He states he was constantly
uneasy when bringing this man down
as the latter wanted to get away at
all times and was desperate enough
to try it.

to account for his demeanor. There
seems to be no clue as to where he
could have gone and the public in
that section are puzzled to account
for the case. The authorities have
not secured any line on his where

G. A. R. and VV. R. C Arrang
ing to Observe Day.
Preparations are being made for an
xtcnsive and elaborate observation of
Decoration day in this city by the
members of the local G. A. R. and
W. R. C. posts. At a joint meeting
of the two lodges held several days
since the preliminary steps were ta
ken to get the matter under headway
and arrangements were made to start
the organization of the observance
at once.
There were the usual committees
appointed to look after the matter
of decorating and flagging the graves
of the departed and beloved com
rades, and a committee appointed to
secure the Parmele theater for the
exercises of the afternoon. An invi
tation was extended to Rev. I W.
Cade, the Presbyterian minister, to
deliver an address upon this occa
sion and arrangements will be made
in the Immediate future for other and
able speakers. This has not yet been
finished but It is expected within a
few days the committee can secure
some orator of prominence to be here
and speak. In any event the public
can rest assured that there will be
a suitable and worthy program one
which will appeal to the patriotism
of the audience and one which will
fittingly commemorate the heroes of
the great war.
An especial feature of the program
is intended to be the music and the
arranging of this part of the pro
gram has been left to a committee
contesting of Mr. E. II. Wescott and
Mrs w Gambie botn ot wnom b.aVe
had a wide experience in these mat
ters. The musical program will con
sist, as usual, of patriotic songs, solos
and chorus and will be in general L
harmony with the remainder of the
services. The afternoon exercises will
take place at the usual hour of two
o'clock.
The morning observance will con
sist of a procession to Oak Hill,
where rest the noble dead of the
Grand Army and here the graves will
be decorated according to time hon
ored custom. In the procession and
the observance of the day an invi
tation Is cordially extended to all
organizations of the city to partici
pate. The procession is expected to
move between 9 and 10 o'clock a. m.,
on Monday, May 30.
One More From Havelock.
Jailer Manspeaker yesterday added
another to the Havelock colony at his
palatial hotel when Marshal Andrus
of Greenwood delivered to him one
Wilson of Havelock who had Journ
eyed down to that little city and pro
ceeded to fill his hide with the tangle
foot which is dispensed there. Wil
son's conduct after he had taken on
said hideful was such as to disturb
the peace and dignity of the good
people of the burg and excite the
wrath of Marshal Andru who cast him
into durance vile. Later he was ar
raigned before Justice Hand who be
lng familiar with the statutes of Ne
braska governing such offenses, then
and there and thereby did apply the
kibosh to said Wilson to the tune
of ten slmoleons and costs amount
ing to the sum of $22.40, which is
some wealth. Not having said sum
at his convenient disposal, Mr. Wil
son will lay in his cell and dream

caster county which not long since
voted out saloons and bids fair to de
populate itself via the county Jail of

New Third Baseman Has Been
Secured and Grounds Are
Being Improved.
Somebody without the fear of the
Lord in his soul has been lying most
samefully to our good old friend Doc
Marnell at Nebraska Cltyt, In his
News of Monday he comments on the
attendance at the base ball games in
this city and says tnat only twenty
six persons paid admission to see
the game here between Fort Crook
and Plattsmouth. The number was
many more than that Doc, but even
at that it was shamefully Bmall. How
ever the crowd Sunday was a good
one
and hereafter we believe they
will compare favorably with Nebras
ka City any day of the week. The
people here know Plattsmouth has
a fast team now and it has proven
that It can play the best in Nebras
ka.
Enthusiasm over the game In this
city Is growing rapidly and the at
tendance at games hereafter prom
ises to be first class and the boys are
encouraged to go ahead and put in a
winning team. A new third baseman
to take the place of the Indian has
been secured and is being given a
work out every night now. So far
his work has been satisfactory and
he promises to more than make good.
In case he falls, another good man
Is in sight from down the road and
the next game which the boys play
will And the weak spots filled to per
fection and a clean and winning game
will result.
There are many applications pour
ing in for games from Omaha, Coun
cil Bluffs and the larger towns in
the state, and the management will
have no trouble in filling all dates.
Only the clubs with the best of re
cords will be booked and the result
will be some mighty fine games for
the rest of the season.
It is said the Burlington will close
down the shops on Saturday after
noons during the hot months which
would aid materially in building up
the attendance as the shop boys are
enthusiastic over the games and want
an opportunity to see them. This has
not been decided on as yet but it Is
a custom here to do this during the
warm weather and the men want it
done this season especially.
There have been a number ot im
provements made at the grounds
during the past several weeks and
more are contemplated if the attend
ance and support permits. Among
the things already put in is a grand
stand with a Beating capacity of
several hundred, well roofed and the
front' protected by netting as a pro
tectlon against foul balls. The space
from, the gate to the stand has also
been netted for the same reason and
all precutions taken against injury
to the patrons. There has been
fence erected between the ball
grounds and the open land to the
south which has been used for a
pasture and the presence of
three cowb in the field which so
peeved the Nebraska City papers Is
done away with. Benches for the
players have been put in and the
arrangements for the comfort of the
patrons are excellent.
Rivalry between the minor clubs of
the city is growing rapidly and many
good games are reportedi The Jour
nal wants to print the scores of all
games played and its readers are in
vited to furnish the papor with a
score. Send In the score by innings
and tho batteries, together with brief
notes of the game and they will be
cheerfully printed.

TIE TEST
Tried in Plattsmouth It Has Stood
the Test
The hardest test is the test of time,
and Doan's Kidney Pills have stood
it well in Plattsmouth. Kidney suf
ferers can harly ask for stronger
proof than the following:
J. B. Patrldge, Eighth St., Platts
mouth, Neb., says: "I suffered al
most constantly from pains across
my loins and kidneys and on several
occasions I was bo badly crippled
that I could only get about with the
aid of two capes. The use of the
first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, pro
cured from Gerlng & Co.'s drug
store, helped me so greatly that I
continued taking the remedy until I
was entirely relieved. It would be
Impossible for me to speak too high
ly of Doan's Kidney Pills."
The above statement was given in
June, 1906 and on December 29,
1908, Mr. Patrldge said: "I still re
commend Doan's Kidney Pills high
ly. I willingly confirm the public
statement I gave over two years ago
in their favor."
