WANTED TO DIE
Despondent Cass County Man
Attempts to Take His Own
Life, But Fails.
Ed. Hugson, well known by most
all the people of eastern Cass county,
while In a mood of despondency, at
tempted to take his own life at his
home, about ten miles south of Platts
mouth, on last Friday morning. Mr.
Hughson is a middle-aged man, and
a bachelor, living on the Dave Mur
ray farm. Last Friday morning, pos
sibly when seized by one of his spells
of despondency, he took a 38-callbre
revolver, pressed it to his forehead
and pulled the trigger. The ball
passed Into the forehead taking an
upward course and came out at the
top of his head, and while Inflicting
a very ugly and painful wound, the
results will not prove serious, and In
a few days he will be as well as ever.
After the shot was fired Mr. Hugh
son left his home and walked to the
home of hte" brother about a half
mile distant, where Dr. Brendel was
called from Murray and dressed the
wound. It was surely Mr. Hughson's
Intention to end his life, for it Is said
that he had written a letter to his
i friends and relatives before commit-
ting the rash act, stating as the cause
of his action that he wished to die.
From all Indications he was pursuing.
the proper course and had he raised
the handle of the weapon very little,
the ball would have passed through
his head. There seems to be no other
rau8e for Mr- Hughson's act than as
! stated. He Is a hard working man,
and he will be himself again In a few
days.
Walt Vallery Slightly Injured.
Walt Vallery, residing near Mur
ray, was in the city today looking
after some business matters, and
noticing that he was having a rather
hard time In making his usual rounds
owing to a game leg, we asked him
the cause. He said It was caused by
a leap from his buggy last Saturday
when coming to Plattsmouth. The
neckyoke to his buggy broke and he
leaped to the ground to prevent a
runaway. This feat was successfully
performed, but Walt came out of the
affair with a slightly bruised limb
and heel.

FIGHT STOPPED BY REFEREE
AFTER THIRTY SECONDS
Yesterday afternoon'one of Platts
mouth's champion pugilists met In
the roped enclosure between the post
office and the Independent Telephone
company building, a South Omaha
pug of no mean qualiflcatious. The
fighters were quite wary . of each
other's prowess for the first few
bouts, but the battle had not been on
many seconds before some wicked
Jabs had been administered to the
visiting pug.
This seemed to anger the South
Omaha sport, and he went In to clean
up the Plattsmouth warrior, striking
right and left, some of his blows fall
ing on the cool air, and the Platts
mouth pugilist by his dextrous foot
work and agile movements kept out
of the way of severe punishment, un
til finally the Omaha pug landed on
his opponent below the belt, when the
referee stepped In and stopped the
mill, giving the fight to Tlattsmouth's
champion.
The hour, was 4:30, and the time
of the mill about 30 seconds.

Commissioner M. L. Freldrich has
