THE RED SOX
LOSE OUT TESTER-
DAY AFTERNOON
The Omaha Aggregation Done Our
Roys to the Tune of 6 to 2, Which
Was Disappointing to AH.
The base ball aggregation rep
ipspntinp the McGraw company of
Omaha dropped in Sunday afternoon
and proceeded to separate the Red
- x - .
Sox team of this city from one ball
Came by a score of 6 to 2, and at
times the situation of the contest
seemed almost tragic. The locals were
certainly enjoying an oft day in every
department, as they were unable to
either field or hit with any degree of
success, and this allowed the visitors
to romp away with the victors' share
of the prate receipts.
The game opened with every pros
pect of a win for the home team, as
the visitors were retired scoreless,
while in the second half the Johnson
ites took kindly to the slants of Mr.
Weber, the mound artist of the visit
ors, and scored their two tallies, and
from the result of the succeeding in
nings they were mighty lucky in this.
Teal, who headed the batting list, se
cured a safety, and on the sacrifice of
Parriott advanced to the third station,
when on the hit of Rockwell to left
field he was able to tally one for the
Sox. Ilcrold retired on a fly to left.
but on the throw-in Rocky was able
to register and this constituted the
scoring of the Sox, who in the course
of the rest of the game operated un
der the worst possible luck with the
I i-caks going against them, and sev
eral hits that looked good were caught
by the fast-fielding aggregation of the
visitors.
In the second the visitors got busy
with their war clubs and this, with a
walk, gave them sufficient scores to
"tie up with the Sox. Iloldbrooke was
able to get to first on a little hit to
second, which was not fielded in time
:ind Weber was given a safe pass to
the first sack, and on the two-bagger
f Saup to left field they were able
to romp home with the scores that
tied the game. In the third spasm of
the contest the gasmakers took the
lead and checked up another run to
-their credit.- K. Adams was hit bv
Stimpson and sent to first base, from
where he was advanced on the sacri
fice of Krug; Moore secured a hit to
short, while Penny was not so lucky
and retired on a little drive to first
base. At this time Adams, who was
jesting on third, came in on a passed
ball, which gave the visitors a much
needed score. Iloldbrooke was walked
to first and Weber ended the inning by
striking out.
There was no further scoring until
the opening of the seventh, when the
boys from the metropolis proceeded to
make another onslaught on the rather
demoralized Red Sox. Krug, who
opened the fireworks for the visitors,
ecu red a safe one through short,
while Penny, who followed, was re
tired on a little hit to Stimpson that
caught him at first base. J. Adams,
however, proceeded to break a large
hole in the game when he hit over
second base safe and scored Krug, but
died on the base, as his teammates
were not able to bring on the hit need
cd to score him.
In the opening of the eighth inning
the visitors added further to the
agony of the encounter by annexing
two more to their list of scores, and
put one large-sized dent in the hopes
of the Sox of winning the game, am
while the home team had two chances
they were not able to get to the plate
being robbed of several long drives by
the fast fielding of the visitors, who
in this department of the game were
light on the spot all the time.
The Sox showed clearly their lack
of batting practice and were not able
to hit the delivery of Weber with any
degree of success at any stage of the
game, and as a consequence will be
compelled to endure the pangs of de
feat until they are able to tangle with
the Omaha boys in the future. Sev
eral very raw errors also contributed
to the sad story and assisted in swell
ing the list of scores of the gas
makers.
Here to Visit Parents.
From Saturday's Daily.
This morning: Mr. and Mrs. J. E
McDaniel were greatly delighted
when their daughter, Mrs. Virginia
McDaniel Allen arrived from her
heme dt Los Angeles, California, for
a visit here for a time under the par
ental'roof. Mrs. Allen has been
making her home on the coast for the
past two years and this is the first
opportunity she has had of visiting
the old home, and it is needless to say
that the occasion is one of the great
est pleasure to the parents, as well as
the many friends of Mrs. Allen in this
citv. Mr. Allen is the manager at
Los Angeles of one of the larg mov
ing picture companies and his time
is constantly taken up with the af
fairs of the movie company, which
has their headquarters in California
A VERT PATHETIC
SCENE AT BUR
LINGTON STATION
Alex Hunter Makes a Successful Kid
nap of 8-Year-OId Daughter,
Which She Resents at Depot.
Pays Visit to This City.
from KrMay's raily.
Deputy Oil Inspector Murphy cf
Lincoln paid a visit to riattsmouth
yesterday looking over the work for
his department, which requires that
all oil in the state be inspected by the
state as to its compliance with all re
quirements of the law. Mr. Murphy
is a most efficient official, as well as
a clever gentleman and one of the
chief aids" in this important depart
ment. Mr. Murphy paid a short visit
et the Journal printir.gr establishment
and was greatly pleased with the
equipment which was a great surprise
to him.
A very pathetic scene was enacted
at the Burlington passenger station
on Saturday afternoon, when the little
S-year-old daughter of Alex Hunter,
who has, since the death of her moth
er several years ago, been making her
home in this city with her grandpar
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hiner, was
taken away on No. 2 by the father to
his home in Iowa, and the sobs anil
protestations of the little one as she
v as roughly thrilst on the train by
the father made a deep impression
upon the persons on the platform at
the time.
It seems that a few days ago the
grandfather of the little girl was
called to Walthill, Neb., for a few
days and the little girl was left in the
care of her aunt, Mrs. Claus Roctel.
jr., and it was only a short time afte
this that the father of the girl came
over from Iowa, where he has been
making his home, and visited at th
Boetel home to tee the little girl, an
rpparently was satisfied with th
manner in which she was being care
4 for, although in the past there ha
been some controversy between him
and the grandparents over the care o
the child, and Hunter purchased
number of articles for her. On Satur
day afternoon ho again called at the
Boetel home and asked that the little
girl be allowed to accompany him to
iown to have her picture taken. Thi
Mrs. Rotel did not care to do, and
Hunter announced that he was going
to take the girl down town anyway,
consent or not, and tho aunt, througl
fear of the man, who is of very violent
temper, was forced to let her go. as
the father promised to bring her back
in a short time. He at once came
down to the BurllngtoiT station with
the gill and took her hack with him
to Iowa.
The story of this little child has
been one of tragedy, as when but an
infant her mother was found dead at
her home, south of this city, having
been, it was claimed, accidentally
shot, and the circumstances at the
time created a great deal of interest
ard much of the case is still shroud
ed in mystery. Hunter was some two
years r.go tried for the murder of a
man in Mills county, Iowa, and acquit
ted of the charge.
It is not known what steps the
grandfather will take to regain pos
session of the child, as he has not yet
reached home.
FUNERAL OF JOHN FIIZ
PATRICK HELD THIS MORN
ING AT CATHOLIC CHURCH
This morning at St. John's Catholic
church in this city was held the mass
of the church over all that was morta
of John Fitzpatrick, and a large num
ber of the old friends who had in all
these years known this estimable
gentleman, gathered to nay their las
tribute of respect to his memory. The
mass was celebrated by Rev. Father
M. A. Shine, rector of the church, with
all the beauty and solemnity of the
Roman service, and at the close the
body was borne to the Catholic cem
etery, west of this city, where it was
laid to rest beside that of the wife
who had preceded .Mr. I itzpatnck in
death several years ago. The pall
bearers were selected from among the
old friends of the departed and were
Chief of Police Ben Rainey. Charles
McGuire, B. B. "Danniher, William
Morlev. Con Gillespie and Charles
McEnte.
Thus passes away to his final re
ward one of the most faithful public
servants that the city of Plattsmouth
has ever had in its service, and his go
ing brings to the citizens of this com
rr-unity a sense of grief in the loss of
one whom they held in the highest
esteem through all these years in
which he has served as a member of
the police department of the city gov
ernment. Iaithful to his outy to the
community, Mr. Fitzpatrick remained
at his post until the ravages of hi;
malady passed the point of endurance
and compelled him to go to the hos
pital. Pence to the ashes of this kind
ly old man, whose years of service
have just been closed by the messeng
er of death, and may his reward be
as rich as he well deserves.

Reports from the St. Catherine hos

not shown much change since being
taken to the hospital. It has been a
hard matter to fully determine the
cause of his illness and it will rc

In present-day theatrical olferin
the capabilities of star and support
ing company, especially in presenta
tions of the higher class, are not the
only qualifications necessary to
satisfy the seasoned patron of the
c'rama. The scenic production also
comes in for its due measure of
criticism, or praise, as the case war
rants. Even at a time when stage
craft seems to have reached the apex
of possibilities the massive scenic
rplendor of stage mounting of "The
Winning of Barbara Worth," which
will be presented at the Parmela
theater Monday night, May 3, is said
to be nothing short of staggering.
Those who have lead the celebrated
book by Harold Bell Wright, from
which the play has been made, will
he quick to see the great opportunities
offered the producers for scenic
beauty. The curtain rises on a won
derful desert scene, immediately after
a sand stoim, in which the father and

which was performed last Mdriddy

and expects to be able to return home
In a week if the present favorable

constant improvement and it is
thought by the attending physicians
that the same rate of improvement
will be shown in the next few days.

NEW MORTGAGE TAX LAW
WILL INCREASE REVENUE
FROM TAXES SECURED
The new law passed by the last
legislature taxing real estate mort
gages will bring into the treasury con
siderable increase in taxes, adding to
(he assessment roll, according to Sec
letary Bernccker of the ate board
of assessment. The estimate is made
by the secretary on a one-fifth valua
t:on which he places at $7,500,000. For
ieveral years banks and trust com
panics have been getting around the
law and evading the payment of this
ten by subtracting from their capital
lock the amount they had invested in
cal estate mortgages. It is generally
supposed that the tax was paid by the
moitgagor, but as a matter of fact
l.e mortgages were not listed for as
sessment and thus escaped taxation,
while on the other hand slock went
untaxed. The Smith law is not rr
pealed by the new law, II. R. 202, the
latter simply correcting the faait.
