ANOTHER PIONEER
CITIZEN PASSES AWAY
Francis Nl. Young, One of the
Early Pioneers of Cass Coun
ty, Passes Away.
Francis M. Young, pioneer
citizen (if Cass county, died nt the
Methodist, hospital at Omaha
early this morning, after an ill
iikhh dating from last February.

Residence of Joseph Svoboda En
tirely Destroyed, With Most
of the Contents.
A disastrous lire broke out
about 2 o'clock Sunday morning
at the dwelling of Joseph Svoboda,
one West (iranite street, which
entirely destroyed the residence
ami came nearly resulting in the
loss of the life of his little 2-year-old
son, Edward.
The family, consisting of Mr.
and Mrs. Svoboda and live chil
dren, were asleep on the Ilrst floor
of their one and n half-story resi
dence, when their neighbor, Joe
Sedlack, who was sleeping out of
doors on account of the heat, was
awakened and noticed the flames
coining through the roof and ran
over and woke Mr. Svoboda and
wife. Four of the children worn
gotten out of bed and hustled out
into the yard, but in the excite
ment little Edward, who was
asleep in his cradle, was over
looked and not. until one of the
neighbors called their attention
to the absence of the child did the
parents recall thai Edward was
sleeping in his cradle in another
room. The roof was already fall
ing in when the sleeping child was
rescued from the burning house.
The tire alarm was turned in
from William Holly's homo, four
blocks away, and the hose cart
from West Main street hurried
to (he nearest hydrant, which was
four blocks from the burning
building, and the hose was run
from the reel, and when the cen
tral cart arrived the two ends
were joined and the central hose
run off, but still lacked two
lengths of hose enough to reach
the burning building, and some of
the men were sent back to the
central hose house to get suf
ficient hose.
All this required some time, ami
all the while the (Ire was eating
its way slowly along the roof and
sides of the building. There was
no wind, not even a breeze, so that
the lire did not catch any of the
adjoining buildings. Hy the lime
the water was turned on the dwel
ling was mostly in ashes. Had
there been. a hydrant within a
block of the (Ire very little dam
age would have been done, as it
would have been put out before
burning much of the house.
When the connection was made
the lire hydrant appeared to be
out of order, so that the pressure,
when the water was turn on would
not throw the water any distance.
The origin of the lire is unknown,
hut it is supposed to have started
from the kitchen stove, in which
there had been a tire to get the
evening meal Saturday. The lire
when (list discovered was blaz
ing through the kitchen roof, the
kitchen being a brick structure
adjoining 'the frame dwelling on
the east. Very little of the house
hold goods were saved; nothing
at all from the upper rooms,
where most of the family bedding
and clothing was kept.
It is said the dwelling was in
sured for $1)00, but the properly
was worth very much more and
represented the savings of Mr.
and Mrs. Svoboda for the past
nine years. He has been in
I'lattsmouth during these years,
and employed on the freight car
repair track as a carpenter. The
loss will fall very heavily on Mr.
Svoboda and he has the sym
pathy of the entire community in
his trouble. He and his family
went to the home of his neighbor,
Mr. llajpck, where they were given
shelter for the present.
The fire company turned out
promptly, but could do nothing on
account of the long distance that
the water had to bo carried
through the hose, which, with the
defective hydrant practically
placed them without water to fight
the fire with.
Enjoyed Birthday Party.
James Higley, wife and daugh
ters, (Hadys and Violet, returned
from Shubert, Neb., on the after
noon train today, where Mrs.
Higley and daughters have visit
ed her sons-in-law, (Irani Coiner
and Lee Johnson, for two weeks.
"Jim" got tired of batching and
decided Saturday that he would
put an end to it by going after
Mrs. Higley and escorting her
home. Yesterday was the tenth
birthday of Glenn Johnson, son of
Lee and Mrs. Johnson, and ac
cordingly a fine birthday spread
was prepared by Glenn's mother,
consisting of ice cream and cake,
and the relatives invited in to en
joy the occasion with Glenn.
Failed to Keep Kettle Hot.
The noise of the work of shovel
ing coal yesterday so grated on
the sensibilities of our friend,
Fireman O. Roman, of the Sioux
City freight crew, as he was try
ing lo keep up a head of steam for
Engineer J. J. Ingalls, that today
Giles is on the sick list. There
was a shortage of steam on most
of the run and Giles failed to keep
the "kettle" hot. The thermom
eter was close to 110 in the sun,
which may have had something to
do with the fireman's sickness.
