Tbe Cause Attributed to Frustration of a Burglar Who Attempted j
to Enter Hi Father's Home a Few Nights Previous.
e?ij n n I7 s a.
Last Saturday evening about 7:30,
John Schwartz found Earl Hyde, who
drives the delivery wagon for A.
Bath & Son, lying unconscious in bis
father's front door yard. Mr, B. C.
Hyde, Earl's father was quickly sum
moned and the young man was tar
ried into the house and soon re
gained 'consciousness.
It being Saturday evening Karl had
rntton throuch delivering goods a
little later than usual and bad un-1
Mtchpd hla team and was going to
his supper. When he arrived in the
front door yard, he saw the figure of
a man come from behind a largo oak
and advanced toward him. Karl
thought ha recognized the person
and accosted him with the usual
salutation or "hello," the party made
no response, but made a pass at Earl,
who still thought it was some one he
knew, and who was Btrlklng at him
in fun. The first blow was dodged,
but the second blow landed on Earl's
chin, knocking him down, two blows
he remembers having received, after
which he became unconscious.
Earl connects the assault on him
with an occurrence of tho previous
evening when he frustrated an at
tempted robbery of his father's prem
ises, at which tlmo some unknown
man attempted to enter the dwelling
of Mr. B. C. Hyde. Earl got the
shot-gun and took three shots at the
retreating figure as tho man vanished
In tho darkness. A few minutes
before Earl fired the shots at the
night prowler, Mr. and Mrs. August
Bach frightened a burglar away from
their residence, about two blocks
from the Hyde home.
Mr. and Mrs. Bach, sr., had closed
up their store about 8 o'clock and
on going to their residence, a few
rods south, Mr. Bach discovered that
the door leading to the rooms up
stairs was open, then heard foot
steps on the floor above. He had left
his revolver in the room above, and
accordingly he grasped a butcher
kulfe from the cupboard and bound
ed up the stairs. The burglar beat
a hnsty retreat, escaping through a
window, the green shade had been
run up, but In his baste, the robber
had plunged through the laco cur
tain. The thief had evidently been
In the room but a short time, as
nothing of consequence was missed.
Earl Hyde Is of the opinion that
the same party tried hla father's res
idence, and that the motive for the
assault on him was revenge for the
shots he had taken at the thief the
previous evening.
An attempt was mado to burglar
ize the Main street store, a little over
a wceK ago, nut me nog gave me
alarm, and Mr. Bach, Jr., arrived on
the porch above in time to see the
thief run north In the alley. The
window screens on the east side of
the storo room were found removed
at that time. '

I'iMilliull Sunday.
The people who braved the wintry
winds yesterday and attended the
football game witnessed a very lively
ontest. In the opening quarter,
barney Bardwell, for Plattsmouth,
secured the ball on the kick-off and
made a splendid run before being
downed. Beal secured the ball on
the pass and made a 30 yard run into
the Omaha territory before being
tackled. Anderson then rushed the
line for a gain of several yards, the
ball being on Omaha's five-yard line,
when time was called. In the second
quarter Plattsmouth pushed Ander
son over for a touchdown. Ault made
piety tackle by throwing the
Omaha lad, who was sprinting down
the field with the ball, as he had
passed a number of the Plattsmouth
players. This part of the game was
marked by much rag-chewing and
players being laid out. In a pass the
ball was secured by an Omaha player
who ran half tho length of the field
for a touchdown.
The credit for saving the day for
Plattsmouth belongs largely to Peter
Herrold, who broke through, the
Omaha lino and blocked a kick which
would In alt probability have resulted
In scoring another point for Omaha.

Putting the home town on the map
and keeping It there making 11 a
better residence town Is a matter of
Intelligent co-operation on the part
of the business men. Intelligent co
operation means forgetting pasj .dif
ferences of opinion and working
unltcdlv for the common good. No
man In town can achieve maximum
success unless tne town as a wnoie
has first achieved that success. Every
knock against any good business man
In the town is a knock against every
other business man there. Every
knock against a town by a resident Is
boost for a competing town. Take
your petty Jealousies and differences
out behind the bftrn and bury -them
forever. Then get busy for an effort
co-operative that will make life worth
living. You can, If you will. ,

The Masonic Home has at least
one live and up-to-date resident, Mr.
II. W. Howard, who is a visitor for
the winter. Mr. Howard is some
what musically Inclined and noticing
that the days are long for those who
are old and too feeble to attend any
amusement of any kind, he planned
a most enjoyable surprise for Satur
day evening. Like all surprises, it
somehow leaked out and as soon as
supper was over the forty chairs
were transferred from the dining
room to the parlor, the room lighted,
and we were then waiting to be sur
mised, and we were surprised In a
most delightful manner. Of course,
Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Moore were the
first ones called on for- assistance.
Mr. Howard had discovered their
many talents and their willingness to
use them for the good and pleasure
of others. The first to appear was a
bouquet of chrysanthemums and
ferns, so huge in proportion as to
almost hide the florist and his wife,
who carried the bouquet. They were
followed by their daughter and her
husband, Mr. and Mrs. Seivers, who
brought with them, Master John
Frady with his mandolin and Miss
Agnes Knoflicek with her tiny
violin, but the volume of sound
which her dainty lingers brought
forth was wonderful. Several other
kind friends followed In quick suc
cession, all of them to contribute to
the entertainment of the residents of
the Masonic Home. . Mr. R. B, Wind:
ham and hla daughter, Miss Ellen,
Miss Etha Crabill and several others,
whose names we failed to learn. The
program was a long one and so per
fect In all Its details, that it is diffi
cult to decide which 'was the best.
Mr. Windham gave a few well cho
sen remarks In his usual happy man
ner, the leading thought being
"cheerfulness." lie spoke of the
hardships of the pioneer days In Ne
braska and of the pioneers enjoying
life so well that they often sighed for
their return. He also spoke of the
many pioneers, who are still enjoying
life with all of Its modern conven
iences and improvements with the
zest of youth. Miss Ellen Windham
gave a reading, giving such an exact
delineation of child life that we for
got for the moment' that she was
grown up." She responded to a
prolonged encore with another read
ing. Mr. Moore and Mr. Seivers sang
a nuntlng song with rythmic melody
while the tinkle of the Bheep bells
Imitated by Mrs. Moore on the piano
was so perfect that It seemed as
though we had been carried off to
the Alps. Miss Crabill and Mrs.
SelverB' contributed several piano
selections and the two Messrs. Stiv
ers sang several negro melodies,
which caused roars of laughter. All
of those who contributed to this
plendld entertainment responded to
the repeated encores. The sweetest
of all was the mandolin solo by Mas
ter John Frady and the violin selec
tion by Miss Agnes Knoflicek. We
felt as though tho fairies had come
out of their lily cups to make us glad.
They were called back and responded
niany times. They have, rareja1jnt,
