L' lo 1, in what was Ihe best game
of the m'Piiii. and I ho victory of
tho Ouily forces was duo large
ly (o. v.'tpI decisions of tho um
pire (hat were decidedly in favor
of (ho visitors. Connor was on
tho mound in both games for; I ho
Boosters and pitched iil od:rod
la!l. and but for a decision of tlio
umpire in ye.-derdny's game they
miuhl have been playing yet. as in
Ihe ovenlh inning tho "limp"
f passed Kennedy to iirt, forcing
in a run.
'Tho Sumlay pa-mo was a ragged
contest, full of errors, in which
tho Orkin's managed to pot away
Willi the big end and hanol tho
local boys .-everal rims as a re
sult of their poor judgment and
inability to :.- hobl of the ball.
In the lirst innir.g. Boa!, the fa?l

hit by a pitched ball from the
wiviir of Knutson. tho Iwiiler for

In the seconil inning tho visit

peeved by tic scoring- of the

half of lb.- second. Salsburg
.singled to right field, stole second
and scored on C. Smith's single,
and Smith rancr up another run
on an error by Kanka at first
base.
In-the fourth spasm of Ihe
game Hie visitors annexed two
more run- when Knutson secured j
a two-bap L' r to left held and was1
followed by Smith with a single,
and both came home on fin error
by J.. Smith at shorl. Th
Boosters began to pile on I ho

scored r.n singles by O.ssenkop
and Carle, and Ossenkop scored
on Louie Smith's three-bagger,
which cinched 'the game for Ihe
locals.
The eighth inning saw another
fall taken out of the visitors and
the weary scorekeepor was forced
to register four more runs for the
locals, its well as several errors
for ihe visitors. L. 'Smith and
Inghram both succeeded in get
ting singles on the delivery of
young Mr. Knutson and scored
when Parrir.lt rapped a nice drive

saeker for the Booster?, Was
passed by the pitcher and they
scored when Connor lined out a
clean little single. This ended
the atrony, as the visitors were
unable lo Ho anything- further.
Tho line-up of the game was as
follows:
Orkins King, catch; Knutson,

Tho ba-o ball game yesterday
afternoon was one that warmed
the hearts of the fans, for it was
surely as good a game as could
be seen anywhere that the great
national sport is plaved, and
those who attended felt well re
paid for their bravinsr the wind
and dust, as the Boosters and
R DAY
Frank. Quigloy's pels certainly
played a gilt-edged game, and
until Ihe close if was a question
who would win.
For six innings the contest was
without a sroro, with both Con
nor and Holland of Ihe A. (). U.
YV.'s work in well and with good
support keeping the score down.
The vi-itors broke the ioo in their
half of the seventh, when Saup
rapped out. a two-batrger to lefi
Hold and was "saeriliood to third
by Holland, and scored when Hall
biffed the ball for a single.
Daughorty, who followed Hall,
was safe at first, and on the de
cision of the umpire giving Ken
nedy a base on balls, Hall was
forced in, but the decision was
very much disapproved of riy all
who saw the game, as Connor
was clearly entitled to a strike on,
(lie man. This, combined with
several other decisions against
Ileal while batting, aided ma
terially in preventing' t-he. locals
fr..m taking the game.
Plattsmouth scored its one run
in the ninth, when Connor was
safe at. lirst. on an error by Mo
Andrews, stole .second and came
in with a run on Ihe two-bagger
of Ilea! to confer held, but this
ended the suspense, as Parriott,
who followed, struck out. The

DASTARDLY OUTRAGE
THAT NEEOS ATTEN
TION OFTHE POUGE
i-'rom Tuesday's Daily.
A dastardly outrage was per
petrated last evening on Wash
ington avenue when some pari
or parties, without fear the ia
or respect for themselves, de
liberately "barked" about eight oi
tho lino young trees that wore
recently set out along that thor
oughfare. The trees were cut with
a large knife or hatchet and the
work was evi.lently not that oi
any child, as the branches of tht
trees were broken down in a man
ner that indicated that a person
of heighth had done the michiot
and the lacerations on Ihe bark oi
the trees were of such a nature as
to indicate that the work had
been clone with the purpose of
killing; them, and should the
parties doing the work be found
I hey sltould be made to suffer the
severest penally that the law can
inflict, and a reward should be
offered for their arrest and con
viction This is the second time
the city authorities have planted
trees along Washington avenue,
and Ihe fust time a number of
the Irees were broken oil' by chil
dren: going- along the street, but
this ease is clearly one or pure
unadulterated meanness and
ought to be investigated and
some action taken in' the matter,
as it litis aroused considerable in
dignation among- the residents in
that part of tin" city.

VERY CARELESS
AUTO ACCIDENT
An Auto Driven by John Falter
Strikes Buggy and Injures
the Occupant.
From Tuesday s Daily
Last evening- a few minutes be
fore 9 o'clock a collision occurred
on Aortn mxiii street, nciween an
.automobile driven .by John Falter
and a buggy in which Max Pries
was driving- up the street. The
accident occurred just opposite
Ihe Goring- residence, and the
automobile had just turned into
Sixth street from Kim. and was
running south, and was, accord
ing: to the story told by pries
without any" lights on tho front
to guide its course. Pries saw the
err roimnir onto turn and Turner
ut to permit the machine to pass.
but the car came on and crashec
into the hf.rso and buggy, skin-
ning the horse up and damaging
the buggy to some extent, while
Max was thrown clear out of the
vehicle, and from the nature
his bruises it seems likely that he
truck the fender of tho car in
falling, but there were no bones
u-okon and tho examination of
he injured man failed to reveal
any internal ln.iuries. it. was
thought at first that the man had
received injuries that might re
ult very seriously, but this
morninsr the patient seems to be
celt ins? along- in first-class shape
and will probably escape serious
injury.
The harness on the horse was
torn up some as a result of the
collision and the buggy' will re
quire some repairing- before it
an be used. It is most fortunate
that the automobile was not running-
at a high rale of speed, as
if it had been Mr. Pries would
have undoubtedly been killed. Al
ter the accident the injured man
was conveyed to his homo on
North Sixth street and medical
assistance summoned to ad
minster to his needs.
This accident brings forcibly
to mind the fact that the regula
tion of Ihe traffic in t his city is
becoming quite a problem and
that some action in regard to
making all vehicles, either auto
mobiles or carriages and
wagons, observe more strict
ly the law in regard to driving-
along- the street, as in the
present reckless manner it is
eertrain, sooner or later, to result
in the serious injury or. death of
someone, if the matter is not at
tended to. There are rules gov
erning the sides of street on
which ingoing- and outgoing
vehicles should travel, as well as
one in regard to motor vehicles
carrying lights to protect the pub
lic and other parties driving- on
the highway, and it is quite
noticeable of evenings that this
rule is not complied t with by a
large number of drivers.

THE FALL FESTIVAL
LOOKS LIKE LOOSER
The Meeting Last Night Attend
ed by Only a Few -Committee
Makes Its Report.
The meeting which was called
for last evening- at the Commer
cial clun rooms to discuss and
take some action in regard lo
holding a fall festival was alien
dod by only a few of those inter
esteo in rue project ami as a re
sult of the discouragement giv
on Ihe project by the business
men and citizens it is uoubtlul if
it will materialize into a real
celebration or not. Tho com
mil toe that spent several days
last week in visiting- tho different
business houses of the city sue
ceedod in having- something- like
S'iOO subsbcribed by different
parties, but with the showing- of
attendance at the meeting- the
committee does not feel like tak
ing; further steps in the. matter
until a better expression can be
secured from tho citizens in gen
eral.
It seems. a shame that the mat'.
for of tho fall festivtl which had
reached such a promising' stage
should be allowed lo drop be
cause of lack of interest on the
part of those who should put
forth every effort to give those
who make this city Iheir trading
point some kind of a celebration
at the close of a very successful
year. The . meeting- last night
should have been attended by
those who could have expressed
their desires in the matter,
whether in favor or against, in
order that Ihose who have the
matter in charpe could pet a line
on what, lo do in tho matter. If
it is possible lo do so another
meeting of the citizens should be
called and the matter settled once
and for all time, and if there is
to bo no celebration theh lot the
affair rest until some time next
year, but with tho amount raised

very creditable two days' celebra

no reason in the world why the
matter should not lie taken up.

take Ihe question up, let some of
the lodges or societies take hold
of tho proposition ami give I hem
a free hand in the mailer to make
it a success.

from cancer, and despite all that
medical skill or loving bands
could do, the disease co.i! iniicl
its ravages until' it made his re
covery impossible and he suffered
patiently until the end brought
him relief.
Tho loss of Mr. White will be
greatly felt throughout Ihe coun
ty, where he was so well and
favorably known, and where bo
had resided since 1850, and his
passing will leave a place hard to
lill, as he was one of those strong,
sturdy men who havo made tho

his advce and watchfulness in
Ihe early days of Ihe young stale
;ind county contributed much to
its material welfare.

Bluffs, then a flourishing little
city, engaging in farming- near
'hat point, and as a result of his
ability and watchfulness he was
ible lo accumulate quite a neat
fortune for his old ago. During
the
last years of his life on the

tensively in the raising of stock.
During the civil war Mr. While
