BOTH MR. AND MRS.
WILL BOECK IN SOUTH
OMAHA HOSPITAL
From Tuesday's Dally.
The many friends in this city and
vicinity of Will Boeck and wife will
regret to learn of the misfortune that
has befallen them, as both Mr. and
Mrs. Boeck were taken to the hospital
in South Omaha, where they reside,
the wife suffering from appendicitis,
which made it necessary to operate on
her at once, and the husband is report
ed as suffering from a hemorrhage of
the brain as the climax to his mental
trouble that has for the past few
years affected him in a very severe
form. Mrs. Boeck is reported as hav
ing stood the operation in good shape
and it is thought that she is now on
the highway to recovery and at the
present rate of improvement will soon
be able to return to her home. Mr.
' Boeck is a nephew of Henry Boeck of
this city.

THE STORK LEAVES A LIT
TLE GIRL AT GLAUS HOME
From Tuesday's Daily.
Peter Claus, the lower Main street
merchant, today is wearing one of the
broadest and happiest smiles that it
would be possible to find on the coun
tenance of a proud father, and it is
all occasioned by the fact that at 11:30
this morning a charming little daugh
ter made her advent at the Claus
home, and Pete says there is not a
finer little lady in the whole United
States, and he would not take the
world for her. The mother and little
one are doing fine and Pete is simply
walking on the clouds in his happiness.
That the little lady will prove to be a
joy and comfort to her parents in the
years to come is the wish of their
manv friends.
BUCKING AUTO NOT A
MACHINE THAT ANY
ONE BRAGS ABOUT
From Tuesday'c PaTiv.
Just how provoking an automobile
can be is fully appreciated by Miles
Allen, the carrier on rural route No. 2
who possesses one of the bucking
varieties of autos, and it has in the
past few days proven a severe test on
the patience of Mr. Allen. Yesterday
he decided to use the machine in mak
ing a trip out on the route, and as it
was apparently in good working order
he invited Postmaster D. C. Morgan
to join him in a swing around the
circle of this garden spot of the state.
The trip went fine until the party was
quite a distance out of the city in the
direction of Cullom, when, without any
warning, it died and all the efforts of
the driver and Mr. Morgan to get it
to give any signs of life failed and it
looked like a clear case of securing
help to get back to town. Mr. Mor
gan had just gotten to one of the
nearby farmers, when a glad shout
greeted him, and looking back he saw
the machine all ready for business and
it brought them back into town with
out a mishap, and it is still a deep
mystery what was the matter, as the
car as soon as it got ready, responded
to the efforts of thed river, although
he had spent half an hour trying to
get it started, without avail.

PLEASANT SURPRISE TO MISS

Last evening Miss Flossie Richard
son, who is here visiting for a few
days with her father, John Richard
son, and other relatives, was given a
most pleasant surprise at the cozy
Richardson home, "Riverview," near
the ferry landing, and for several
hours there was much enjoyment pre
vailing in the home with games and
music to pass the time most agree
ably. At a suitable time the jolly
party was invited to partake of a
most tempting luncheon, and the table
was well laden with the good things
to eat, and the occasion was one that
will not soon be forgotten. There
were twelve guests present, and in
departing at a late hour they wished
Miss Flossie many morep leasant
gatherings of this nature.
PLATTSMOUTH
BOYS ARE VERY
BADLY TREATED
While Attending a Dance the Rougher
Class of the Magic City Attempt
ed to "Do Up" Our Boys.
From Tuesdays Lai':v.
Several young men from our peace
ful and progressive little city Sunday
journeyed to the metropolis of the
state to spend a few hours and gaze
on the wonderous sights that the town
of Tom Dennison might reveal to
them, and thereby hangs a tale of
slaughter and carnage, compared to
which the Russian retreat from
Sventzianv would seem like mere
child's play.
The boys were out at South Omaha
attending a dance at one of the halls,
and as the hour was drawing nigh for
the departure of the Missouri Pacific
midnight train they hastened from
the hall in the direction of the depot
and of necessity were compelled to go
through a rather dark and rough part
of the Magic City, and here their kind
ness got them in bad. as when they
were en route to the depot they ran
onto a young man who was being
rather roughly handled by two of the
strong-armed and weak-minded resi
dents of that section of the city, and
the "Plattsmouth boys interf erred in
behalf of the under dog, and the two
who had been doing the annoying of
the younger man got away in short
order, and the home guard continued
on their way toward the station, and
when a block and a half from the
scene of the first meeting they ran
onto the enemy entrenched, and it was
stated that the gang of roughnecks
that had gathered to do up our lads
strung along for half a block, and they
proceeded to get busy on the Platts
mouth boys, who stood their ground,
but in one case they had all they
wanted, as one of the boys made a
stand and put six of the South Omaha
denizens out of the running before
someone hit him in the back of the
head with a club. Two of the Platts
mouth boys lowered the world's rec
ord for running by some two minutes,
and showed good judgment, as they
were clearly outclassed and finally
secured relief from the police, who
arriving, rescued the member who had
received the brunt of the fighting.
One of the local delgation, who is
unused to the uses and customs of the
South Omaha sluggers, was trying to
get out in the open to make his get
away, when one of the ruffians in
quired if he was from Plattsmouth,
and being so informed, proceeded to
knock him clear off of the sidewalk in
to the street. The party was all final
ly gathered together and enabled to
return home, but presents a very bad
ly damaged appearance.
LEM MAYBEE SLAYS
555 GOPHERS ON 40
ACRES OF LAND
From Tuesday's Daily.
Lem Maybee, who for the past
thirty days has been engaged on the
farm of W. D. Wheeler, east of Mur
ray, in waging a war on the gophers
that infested the farm, has made a
great success of the hunt and the
gophers caught and slain by Mr. May
bee numbers 555, and all of these were
secured off of a forty-acre tract of
land and shows how the pests multiply
when left alone. Mr. Maybee took the
contract to clean up the gophers at
the price of 20 cents each, and as a
result of his month's warfare on them
he has just received $110, which is
quite a goodly sum, but the riddance
of the pests is worth that much to
Mr. Wheeler and he feels well repaid
for the outlay. They were trapped and
killed and the dead bodies disposed of,
and as a result the Wheeler farm is
comparatively free of them now.

COMPLAINT FILED IN COUNTY
COURT AGAINST HENRY CARSON
From Tuesdav's Dallv.
This morning a complaint was filed
in county court by County Attorney
A. G. Cole, in behalf of the State of
Nebraska vs. Henry F. Carson, charg
ing him with assault and battery on
the person of Walter J. Wunderlich.
at Nehawka on Saturday evening. As
far as could be gotten at from the
statements made it would seem that
the assault and battery was the out
growth of the defendant getting in
bad with the management of a social
dance given there last Saturday, and
he later undertook to settle the dif
ferences with a number of the young
men and Mr. Wunderlich was the vie
tim whom he fell upon and attempt-
ed to neat up. ine party win be
brought in as soon as possible and the
matters threshed out before Judge
Beeson.

TWO MORE PLATTS
MOUTH YOUNG PEO
PLE ARE MARRIED
From "Wednesday's Dallv.
This morning at the St. John s
Catholic church occurred the marriage
of two of our popular young people,
Mr. Fred L. Linderman and Miss
Claire Moekenhaupt. in the presence
of the members of the immediate fam-
lies of the two contracting parties.
The nuptial mass was celebrated by
Rev. Father v M. A. Shine and was
most impressive and beautiful, as the
two young people were united as man
and wife. The birdal couple were at
tended by Mr. John Cloidt as best man
and Miss Marie Fitzgerald as brides
maid. The costume of the bride was
a very handsome one of blue broad
cloth trimmed with fur, and made a
very charming appearance.
Following the wedding the bridal
party were entertained at the home of
the bride's parents in the south part
of the city at a wedding breakfast and
spent the day receiving the con
gratulations of their friends. They
will depart this evening for a trip to
the west for a short time and return
ing will make their home here, where
they have a cozy home awaiting their
occupancy.
Both of the young people have been
brought up in this city and are pos
sessed of a large circle of friends. The
bride is the charming and ac
complished daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Chris Moekenhaupt and is a young
lady of rare charm of character and
one who is held in the highest esteem
by all who know her.
The groom is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. Linderman and is a bright,
genial and industrious young man and
is at present holding a clerical position
in the Burlington offices in this city.
It is the sincere wish of their many
friends that the best of luck and hap
piness will be the future lot of these
worthy young people, who have just
launched their bark upon the matri
monial sea.
PLATTSMOUTH'S
YEAR OF GREAT
PROSPERITY
At Close of the Year It Will Be Shown
That in Improvements It Has Been
Greater Than Expected.
From Wednesday's Dally.
.ot so many clays ago we were
present when a citizen of Plattsmouth
who had just made a trip over the
city, made the statement that he "had
never seen so many building opera
tions going on in the citv as there is
at the present time, and we are ready
to echo his statement, and those
among us who do not believe that
Plattsmouth is experiencing a growth
and an increase in new homes that is
truly surprising should take a trip
over the city and view the work that
is being carried out along this line
There is hardly a section of the city
where tnere is not some new resi
dences being put up, and the beauty
of this is that they are at once oc
cupied, and in fact as soon as the an
nouncement is made that a new resi
dence is being put up there is a de
mand from someone to secure it.
Those who have resided here for a
number of years recognize it not as
a sudden boom, but rather as a steady,
conservative growth which the pros
perity and thrift of the citizens has
brought on and which marks the true
pirit of public citizenship that of
confidence in the future of the city
id of the uteady, healthy growth
both in wealth and population. It is
really surprising the number of new
homes that have sprung up during the
months since the dawning of the year
1915, and before the year closes it is
safe to predict that the building rec
ord in the city will be greater than
for many years before, and this is
aside from the many public improve
ments that have been made.
Miles of permanent sidewalk and
curb and gutter on the streets have
been added during the past 'nine
months, and with that which is pro
jected for the next few months will
make 1915 a record year in the history
of the city. The alley in the business
section of the city north of Main
street has been paved and the south
side alleyway has also been placed in
position where it is possible for
early action to be taken, and before
snow flies this, too, should be complet
ed and readv for service and save the
loss to the merchants, as well as the
annoyance of the muddy alleys, which
in the past has been a very severe
Irawback to the business houses on
the south sideo f Main street.
DEATH OF MRS. WIL
LIAM A. BOECK AT
SOUTH OMAHA
From "Wednesday's Dallv
Mrs. William A. Boeck of Omaha,
an account of whose illness appeared
in the Journal of last evening, has
passed away, as she was unable to
stand the ordeal of the operation and
died Monday evening, although word
was not received here until last even
ing. Mrs. Boeck was taken with what
seemed to be appendicitis on Sunday
and was at once taken to the hospital
for treatment, but it seems to have
been without effect, as she continued
to grow worse until death came to her
relief. Mrs. Boeck was forty-seven
years of age and had made her home
in Omaha for a great many years,
where the family has resided at 4fi0
South Thirty-first street. A husband,
one son and one daughter survive her.
Henry Boeck of this city is an uncle
of the deceased lady, and he and his
wife will attend the funeral, which
will be held Friday afternoon at 2
o'clock from the Brewer chapel in
Omaha and under charge of Rev. R. L.
Wheeler of the First Presbyterian
church. Mrs. Boeck for a number of
years was engaged in teaching school
in this county and was married here,
and a great many of our citizens had
the pleasure of knowing this estimable
lady, whose years of suffering and
worry have closed. The husband has
been practically an invalid for a num-
of years, suffering from a mental disorder.
YOUNG APPLE PICKER FINED
ONE DOLLAR AND COSTS
From "Wednesday's Dallv.
The case of the apple picker from
Xehawka, who was charged with as
sault and batterv on Walter Wunder
lich, came up for hearing this morn
ing before Judge Beeson in county
court, and the young man entered
plea of guilty and was given a fine
of $1 and costs. Prom the fact stated
at the court house, it would seem that
the affair was not altogether one
sided, and the appareance of the
young man charged with the assault
was that of a clean-cut voung fel
low and he bore no marks of any
"rough stuff" and was quiet and gen
tlemanly and the judge gave him the
smallest fine possible, which was set
tled, and he returned back to Ne
hawka.
A VERY QUIET HOME
WEDDING OF A
WORTHY COUPLE
From WeOnesda y's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kis
sling, on Wintersteen Hill, occurred
the marriage of their daughter, Miss
Carrie, to Mr. George Bror.hober of
this city. The wedding was a very
simple home wedding and attended by
only the immediate relatives and a
few intimate friends and neighbors.
The service uniting these two young
people as one was performed by Rev.
H. Steger of St. Paul's Evangelical
church, and the beautiful and impres
sive ring ceremony was used by the
minister in uniting these two worthy
young people. After the ceremony
the bridal, party and guests were
treated to a very dainty luncheon and
the newly weds showered with well
wishes from their relatives and
friends.
The bride is the eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Kissling and is a very
charming lady who has a host of
friends who will rejoice with her in
the new found happiness that has been
given her. The groom is a very ener
getic and industrious young man and
well worthy of the charming helpmate
he has secured.
TERRY'S UNCLE TOM'S
CABIN IS COMING TO
THE PARMELE SOON
The teachers in the schools, the
preachers in their pulpits, the press
and in fact every right-minded citizen
endorses and encourages the attend
ance to see Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Nothing is more discouraging, how
ever, than to see the laise ana out
versions as given by many so-called
Uncle Tom's Csbm Companies who
o not even try to give a satisfactory
performance. For nearly a quarter
of a century the Terry's Big Uncle
Tom's Cabin Company has been the
monarch of them all. This company
uses the G. L. Aiken version, which
s acknowledged to be the only true
representation of the author's story.
This version is not used by other
companies on account of the amount
of scenery required and the large
cast. This company carries the best
actors, Cuban blood-hounds and every
thing necessary to give a worthy pre
sentation of Harriet Ward Beecher
Stowe's wonderful story of slavery
days. At the Parmele theater Satur

UNPLEASANT EXPER
IENCES WITH "HOSS"
TRADERS YESTERDAY
Yesterday afternoon Herr Adolph
Wesch, the shoemaker, had a most un
pleasant experience with "hoss" trad
ers, and as a result is shy his favor
ite driving horse this morning. It
seems that a party from the vicinity
of La Platte was here, and meeting
Mr. Wesch engaged him in conversa
tion on the respective merits of their
horses and this led to the comparison
of the fine points of the respective
animals, and Mr. Wesch was urged to
trade his horse for that of the La
Platte trader, but he declined at first
to consider the matter at all and at
tempted to get rid of the clamoring
demand made for a trade. After it
had been discussed still further, it was
finally agreed thai Mr. Wesch would
try out. the Sarpy county nag and see
what he thought of it, and according
ly the horse of Herr Wesch was un
hitched and the other animal placed in
the shafts and the trial trip was un
dertaken and for several blocks the
La Platte horse held its own. but be
gan to betray signs of being "wind
broke" and other drawbacks that filled
our old friend with disgust and he de
cided there would be "nothing doing"
in the trading line with the horses, and
accordingly drove back to where he
had left his horse, and was amazed
to find that his horse, as well a the
La Platte horse trader had disappear
ed and nothing could be found of the
whereabouts of the animal, and Herr
Wesch was left with the prize pack
age on his hands and wrath filled his
breast, and he certainly had a right
to feel sore over being "flim-flammed"
:n the manner that he had been. He
called on the county attorney this
morning to see what steps could be
taken to recover his horse and com
pel the possessor to take back his ani
mal. "
Sheriff Quinton drove out to Ia
Platte this afternoon to endeavor to
secure the horse for Mr. Wesch, which
was reported as being driven off by a
man named Owens, and if the animal
is recovered it will be turned over to
the rightful owner. The horse taken
was quite a valuable animal, while the
one that was left on the hands of Mr.
Wesch Vas more of an ancient curi
osity than anything else, and it is to
be hoped that he secures the reim of
his animal.
