JAMES SEIVERS MEETS
AN ACCIDENT IN A
QUEER MANNER
From Friday's Dallr.
Our old friend James W.
Seivers is wearing his right
shoulder bandaged up since yest
erday, as the result of an accident
that befell him and which is quite
unusual, to say the least. Mr.
Seivers has a pony or colt at his
home that has become a great pet
and is handled by different mem
bers of the family with impunity,
and it is quite a favorite with his
little granddaughter, Virginia
Tuey. Yesterday morning Mr.
Servers who was in the house
heard the little girl scream and
ran out to see the colt moving
away from where the child was ly
ing on the ground, and he ran up
to find that the colt had attempt
ed to bite the child and had in
dicted a slight laceration on her
face. This decided Mr. Seivers to
learn the horse a lesson, and seiz
ing a club he started out to do
business with the animal and
hurled the club at it, with the re
sult that the force'of the throw
ing put his right shoulder clear
out of its socket, ami it was
necessary to secure the services
of a surgeon to place the arm
back into its proper position. The
injury will place our worthy
friend on the disabled list for
several days, but has not lessened
his good nature or his flow of
humorous stories.
Harold LaChappell departed
this morning for Glenwood for a
short visit there with relatives and
in looking after some matters of
business and will then return to
this city where he and his wife are
visiting at the Frank Brinkman
home.
WIDOW CLA MS
DOWER IN A
LARGE ESTATE
Not Satisfied With Amount Left
Her She Brings Suit for One
Fourth Interest in Estate.
An answer has been tiled in the
district court in the case of Anna
Reiller vs. George Reittcr, jr., et
al., in which the defendants pie-
sent their side of this case that
involves the settlement of the
estate of one of the wealthy resi-
lenls of the west part of the
county. The defendants stale that
the plaintiff is the widow of the
ale George Reitter. sr.. by a se
oiid marriage, and that she is
not the mother of his children, ami
had been married to him less than
live years before his death last
October, and that she had no part
in the acquiring of the property of
the deceased. The defendants
further state thai the will of the
deceased George Reitter was ac
cepted by the widow at the time
letters testamentary were granted
to George Reitter. jr.. as adminis
trator of the estate and that she
accepted the sum of SjJlMI as her
part of said estate, as she desired
to remove to a locality where her
own relatives resided, and stated
that she did not care to reside in
the homestead, which had been
left her under the will, as she
wanted Jo remove to Illinois.
The plaintiff claims that she
did not accept the settlement
made in the will, but desired to
dec under the law for a one
fourth interest in the estate as a
widow's share and that the olTer
made her was clearly much less
than her just share of the estate,
that she would have secured under
the law and she asks that the pro
per relief be given her and that
.-he receive her dower rights.
The. deceased. George Rejter, sr.
was one of the prominent resid
ents of Eagie and Tipton precinct,
and at the time of his deafh was
the owner of considerable real es
tate in thai section of Cass
county. The case will be heard at
the next term of court and will be
one that will attract a good deal
of attention nvvirig to She piom
ince of the family in the west
ern part of the county.

ALMOST SERIOUS
ON MONDAY NIGHT
From Saturday's Dally.
Monday evening Win. and Dick
Massey and Guy llogenrief drove
to town and hitched their learn to
the hitching rack opposite Gol
lahcr Bros. After the boys had
spent the evening here, and about
10 o'clock decided to return home,
they untied the team and had just
started down the hill toward the
depot when the neck-yoke broke
and the team became frightened
and started to run. They became
uneoutrolable and were running
at a break-neck speed when at the
Mo. Pac. tracks an effort was
made to stop them by turning
them into a side road. The result
was that the buggy was overturn
ed and the three young men were
thrown out with considerable
force.
The two Massey boys escaped
without any severe injury save a
few scratches, but young TJogen
rief was not so fortunate. One
side of his face was badly skinned
and bruised. His left eye was en
tirely swollen shut. When he was
picket up by Night Watchman
Lynn and others, he was uncon
scious and was taken to the doc
or's otliee where he remained in
that condition for several hours.
While his face is badly bruised he
feels thankful that matters are no
worse than they are. Leader

GOVERNOR MOREHEAD
SUGGESTS A DAY FOR
' SELECTING SEED CORN
In view of the fact that our
uccessful farmers and experi
ment stations find that early
selection of seed corn is advis
able, it seems in a matter of such
economic importance, that a time
should be set aside for its early
selection.
The following reasons for early
elect ion are apparent :
f. Earlv selected seed is less
liable to be injured by freezing.
J. Seed selected in the field en
ables the farmer to obtain ears
from plants of the proper tvpe
and from plants growing under
normal conditions.
:i. From various reports re
ceived the present crop has ripen
ed earlv, and seed may be safely
elected at the end of the month,
t appears essential, however, that
uch corn once selected should be
stored immediately in as dry a
place as possible.
A special reason why our farm
ers should select their own seed
will appear from dale of the Neb
raska experiment station showing
that native seed produced 0.2
tushels more per acre than ex
cellent seed brought in from other
districts.
With these facts in mind, I de
signate the week beginning Sept
ember as seed corn selection
week, and urge its general obser
vance as the proper time for this
important task.
Given under my hand and the
'reat Seal of the State of Nebras
ka, this twenty-third day of Sept-
mber, iU i. John H. Morehead.

Used by Louisville threw a good
gaiue and fanned some thirteen of

The first game yesterday was
between Manley and Murd.uk

eight runs so secured. The final
result of the game was 8 to jn
favor of Manley. Stimpson started
