bby injured while swim
Waller Wyers received a very
painful injury Sunday while
swimming with some other boys
in a pond on the Wyers farm
southwest of town. Waller was
under a large heavy spring board,
evidently hiding from the boys,
when one of their number jumped
on the board for a dive, thus
causing the board to break loose
from its holding on the bank and
coming down with great force on
Walter's head. The young man
was knocked unconscious, and
when an examination was made
it was found that a large spike
protruding from the plank had
penetrated his skull. For a lime
it was thought the blow was
death-dealing, but the gravest
fears were soon dispelled by a re
turn of consciousness, and
Waller is progressing as well as
can be expected at this writing
with medical aid. Klmwood

WHAT 1 H. POLLOCK HAS
DONE FOR GOOD ROADS
The building of good bridges in
Nebraska has given a greater im
petus to road improvement than
almost any one thing. It has en
abled stretches of mad to be
continuous by bridging over im
passable streams. In many in
stances Ibis has been difficult and
expensive. One of the most im
portant, bridges in the stale is
that on the route between Omaha
and southern points to Kansas
City. This is the l'latlsmoul h
bridge erected by Mr. T. II. Pol
lock and his company. While
this is some further from Lincoln
to Omaha, it, is nevertheless used
extensively by those who wish to
travel through a beautiful section
and along splendid highway.

BOOSTERS GET
ANOTHER TO THEIR
T
Defeat the Advos of Omaha by a
Very Close Shave, With a
Good Attendance.
The Plattsmouth Monsters yes
terday succeeded in escaping
from the bad luck that has pur
sued them for the past several
games and secured a victory from
the Advos of Omaha, a very fast
aggregation of young ball play
ers, a score of 8 to 7, although it
required ten innings to decide
the question. The score ' for
the visitors should have been
much smaller, as, with the excel
lent pitching of Connor the Advos
should only have had a few
scores, but errors and bad throws
gave them a lead early in the
game and it was an uphill battle
for the locals to pass them. The
umpiring was very poor and the
spectators were compelled to sit
for half an hour while some of
the members of the ball team and
the umpire discussed a decision,
and this feature acted as a draw
back to the enjoyment of the con
test.
The Boosters started things
doing in the first inning, when,
after Meal had popped up a fly to
Adams, Fred Mann selected a nice
inshoot of the said Adams and
beaned il, to the left field fence
and was able lo get clear around,
as the fielder was unable to locale
the ball in lime to check his ra
cing. Mini li ami s,aisiiurg wno
followed were bolh retired.
In ltieunlucky third the visil
i , .. I i.i
ors iook a nrace aim succccueu
in ringing up three scores before
they were retired. Dcnison, the
first man up, struck out, and was
followed by Coe, who hit a safe
one through second; Adams
bunted and got away with it,
making first in safety. Probst
then advanced to bat and placed
one out in the right garden which
brought in two scores, and then
the half-hour joint,' debate, en
sued, which served to make the
game very interesting (?), and
when I he matter was finally; pet -
tied by the selecting of anew
umnire. McGrath secured a safe
one to Smith at short and scored
Probst, which ended the agony,
as the two following men were
retired.
The Boosters annexed another
score in I he fourth, when Smith
hit safe to short, and when Sals
burg knocked a single Smilh went
to third, as Salsburg tried to
slrelch his hit into a two-badger
ami was nipped al second, but il
resulted in Louie reaching third,
and lie scored w hen Ault si ruck
out and forced the throw to tirsl.
Connor hit safely lo center Held,
but was forced al, second by Ma
sou's hit.
The sixth saw the visitors in
crease their lead at the expense
of the local boys and they were
aided by a number of errors.
Probst, the first man up, got
away with a little intleld hit on
an error. Mciirain and tollman
were whiffed by Connor, but Hol
land was able to secure a little
hit to center and on the throw of
Meal to catch Probst an error al
lowed that gentleman to reach
the third sack. Atkins hit to
center Held, scoring Probst, and
was followed by Minnikus, who
placed a good one down to third
base, and on it two of the Oma
ha gentlemen crossed the pan.
Minnikus was caught at second
on the drive to Dcnison to center.
The Boosters, peeved at the
lead of the Advos, started to wield
the big stick in the sixth and
Mann secured a safe one to
shortstop and on an error was
safe at first sack. Louie Smith
then lifted a 11 y between the in
field and outlleld that scored
Mann. Charles Jacob Ault, the
star first baseman, then laid
down on one of the rainbow
slants of Joseph Adams, and
when the Omaha players had sue
ceeded in getting the ball he was
resting at third base and Smith
had scored. Connor and Mason
who followed were both put out
on fly catches. We again gather
ed one in the seventh, when Carle,
the first man up, secured a three
bagger to the right. Held and
scored on Beal's hit to left, field
In the eighth the visitors ad
ded another to their list, when
Holland, the nrsl. man up, was
safe ut first, but the two follow
ing batters were retired, and then
Denison secured a safe one that
urougnt uoiiann Home with a
score. The Boosters, succeeded
in tying the score when Ault hit
ED

safely to right field, Connor was
safe al first on an error by Min
nikus, and then William Masi.-n
hit to left Held, scoring Ault and
leaving the srore i tu 7.
In the tenth inning the. D Mist
ers succeeded In grasping Ihe
coveted victory from the Advos,
although for a few minutes it
looked decidedly dark for the
hopes of the locals, as the visit
ors, Willi two out. succeeded in
tilling the bases, but fortunately
Adams fouled out to Carle and
ended the agony. In our half of
the inning Salsburg hit to third
and was safe on an error. Ault
hit safely to left field, Connor hit
to Adams, forcing Salsburg at
third. Connor was retired on Ma
son's hit to shortstop. Carle
finished the game with a hot drive
through second base, which
scored Ault and let, the Boosters
feel the (lush of victory on their
cheek and the fans went homo

victory. The line-up for Ihe

and friends are hopeful that she
will be able to rally from the ill

so many weeks.
The condition of Miss Jessie
Fox this morning was slightly
belter than il has been for sev
eral days anil the family are feel
ing more hopeful of her recovery,
as her temperature has gone
down considerably from what it
was and if the heart action can
be brought to normal it is thought
she may be able to recover, al
though she has been greatly
weakened by the fact that for sev
eral weeks she was unable to take
food of any sort.
Very favorable reports were
had this morning from our old
friend, W. D. Jones, as he is re
ported as being a little stronger

THE WAY IT OUGHT TO
Two prominent young men of
Weeping Water and one of the
talented young musicians of this
city comprised an auto party that
visited the metropolis, last even
ing, and the party had a most de
lightful time, barring one unfor
tunate iuciident that happened lo
them while passing through tho
city of South Omaha. It seems
the party by their driving at
tracted the attention of one of
the motorcycle "cops," which are
used in the Magic City lo curb
the joy riders, and he started in
pursuit of the automobile con
taining the Cass county people,
and after a short time overhauled
them and announced to the party
that they were "pinched" for
violating Ihe speed laws of that
city and that they would be com
pelled to journey to the police
station to deposit a cash bond of
$25 for their appearance. After
considerable argument and a
daring attempt lo buy olf the
representative of the outraged
law, the matter was settled by the
auto party paying over Ihe sum
of 15 to cover their tine and
costs, and the crowd was allowed
to proceed i'on their way to this
city, where they, arrived without
further mishap,' ""although they
will in tho future keep a lookout
for the "cops" r when in South
Omaha.

OSS SHOULD
SEE TO THEIR LIGHTS
Some of Our People Are Becom
ing Very Careless' in This
Matter.
There is one matter in regard
to the running of ouloniobiles
that should receive the attention
of every automobile owner, as
well as every citizen of the com
munity and that is the habit of
maiiy drivers of machines run
ning along without their rear
lights being lit, and in some in
stances they have even neglected
to light up the forward lamps on
the car.
There is no excuse for ibis
violation of the law and the
parties running along the high
ways at night without the proper
lights should be heavily fined, as
every time a car goes out, in this
manner it is a menace to other
travelers on the road. Not more
than a week ago a serious ac
cident was narrowly averted by
good luck, as one of our prom
inent citizens was running along
the country road with his family
in his car, and an automobile was
ahead of them on the road and

suddenly as they were running
through the dust, they came right
on the forward car, which was
without rear lights, and but for
the prompt action of the driver
