Has Eye Badly Injured.
From Friday's Dally.
This morning John Cloidt, who is
employed in the Burlington planing
mill, met with quite a serious accident
when he was struck in the left eye
by a splinter and small piece of wood
and the eyeball cut in a rather serious
manner. He was a visitor in Omaha
today, where the injured eye will be
examined by Dr. GifFord to determine
just how serious the injury really is.
Mrs. Cloidt and Dr. Stuart Livingston
accompanied the injured young man
to Omaha to see the specialist.
NO SHOW FOR 11 4TH
OF JULY CELEBRATION
FOR
From Saturday's Datlv.
The Fourth of July celebration ques
tion was discussed at some length at
the Commercial club meeting Thurs
day evening, and from the statements
of a number of the leaders of the or
ganization they do not feel that the
expenditure for a celebration would be
warranted, but feel rather that the
weekly entertainments and band con
certs throughout the summer months
would be a more successful means of
entertainment for the citizens and
those who visit the city. President
We.-cott desired to have an expression
from the members present and a num
ber gave their views on the matter
and were decidedly against the cele
bration idea. One cf the members
suggested a fall festival and stock
show, but this did not sc-eni to arouse
a great deal of enthusiasm, as there
is hardly a suitable place where the
stock t-how can be h.'.nd-cd in proper
shape, and it seems probable that the
only solution of the piobkm, will be
in the weekly entertainments on Sat
urday afternoons. If the weather con
ditions are anything 'ike favorable this
should prove a much better success
this year than la.-t and afford a means
of amusement for voung and old alike.
H DiSASTRiOUS FiBE
HEAR WEEPING WATER !
From Saturday's Daily.
The following taken ncrri the Weep
ing Water Republican, gives the par
ticulars of a very serious tire which
occurred there the fhrt of the week
and wmch came near resultinir fataliv I
for R. S. McClcery, one of the promin
ent contractors of the ccantv:
IcCleery lost his bain by lire,
s-hortiv after 1 o'clock and !
narrowly escaped from being serious-j
!y burned or losing his life.
M-. McCieeiy had smarted his ca
which was in his old barn, and hi
gone to the erarage a
short dist'i nee I
away for a wrench, leaving the en
gine running, and ju.-t as he returned
to the door of the barn an explo.-ion
took place which knocked him down, j
X v -v A 111 II 111. . 1 IIIIO.V A IU . .o Le J
he put the fire out on his person with
out much injury to himself a.-ide from
being scorched about the head and
face. In a moment's time the bans !
was a mass of 11am. s and before as
sistance could ariived it was burned
to the ground and nothing saved. The
fire boys made a da-h for the scene
with the chemical engine. They tried
to save the cement mixer which was
in the barn, but the fire had gained
such a headway nothing could be
saved.
Had Mr. McClcery been farther in
ride the barn no doubt he would have
been burned to death. Fortunately
there was no stock in the barn, as
all the stock are kept in the new barn
built last summer. Instead the barn
was used as a store room and contain
ed beside the new Maxwell 2o, all of
Mr. McClecry's cement tools, cement
mixer and a number of farm tool
such as mowing maehine, plows, etc.,
which with the building and content.-.
were valued at ?2,500, partially
covered by insurance.
Mr. McClcery will order a new
cement machine and tools at once. His
first job as soon as weather will per
mit is the foundation basement and
letaining wall for the new home of
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Jameson, which is
to be built on Eldora avenue.
May Lose Her Eyesight.
From Saturday's Daily.
lesterday Mrs. Jay Vaughn met
with a very painful accident and one
which may have a very serious out
come for her, as it resulted in a sev
ere Injury to her right eye. It seems
she WaS attempting to chop off the
head of a chicken and in so doing a
small piece from the head of the axe
struck her in the eye, cutting a severe
gash. She was taken to Omaha on
the 7:15 Missouri Pacific to receive at
tention from a specialist in the hopes
of saving the eye.
PLATTSMOUTH
WHOOP 'EH UP
FOR THE HOI
BASE BALL TEH
Those Interested in the Game This
Season Met and Kecrganized
Last Night.
From Saturday's Daily.
The season When the base ball fan
will move forth from his winter quar
ters and prepare to take his scat cn
the bleachers and whoop 'er up for
the home team is drawing nigh, as was
demonstrated last night when the
Base Ball association held their fir 4
meeting for the season and organized
to get busy for the time when the
pi-cat national pastime will be with us.
There was quite a good numbrr -i"
those interested in the sport, as well
as members of the team present .o
discuss what v. as needed and to get
busy on arranging the preliminaries
of the work that will be necessary be
fore the season will be stated.
One of the chi f matters to be takt a
up by the meeting was the selection
of a manager of the team for the en
suing year and for this position Clam e
Smith was unanimously selected, as
Manager Johnson, who has had charge
of the team for the last few season--,
feels that he cannot devote the time
that is necessary to the work and that
someone else should be selected lo
cany on the active management of
the team. Mr. Smith has be?n one !'
the. mainstays of the t'.am for the last
i.wo seasons and by his aid and advice
developed the boy.; in several lines cf
the game, and with his assuming the
position of manager he will be in a
position to further advance the wor'.v
of the tem. He was a member cf
the Frtmc at team cf the Nebraska
Si:ue league when they won the pen
nttr.t and has splendid abi'ity as a base
bait general.
The business management of the
association wiii remain the same as
present, as Thorn. Wa
g was
eti d as president and H. N. Dove;
r-crelarv-ti-easurer of the oganh:e
- r:;
will he gi.'ca full charge of the base
ball park ar.d will see that it is kept
in fir.t-c!a.-s shape, where it. can ..1-

biismcr ; scctio
of the citv before the-
!c;ii". rl. :"!. :". cnl r'-.il ; "
consequence the boys are frequently
gteatlv inconvenienced. The cost of
:-.ueh a club house would net be great
mu would ii n louoteelly be money well
sp-riu. In addition to this it is c!e-i-iiid
to enlarge the bleachers on the
v.e-t side of the bail park and p'aee
in front o
the bhacners a protecting
wire fence tha? would not only add to
the safety of the spectators, but al-o
keep the excited fans from swarming
out onto the grounds during the game
anil annoying the players. These mat
ters will be taken up at once and every
cffoit made to get busy and see if it
will not be possible to have the m ready
by the opening of the season.
In the retirement of Mr. C. S. John
son from the management of the team,
iie takes wifn him the warmest per
sonal regard of all the players, :..s
well as the patrons of the game for
his long and faithful service to the
promotion cf base ball in I'ialtsmou h
witnout recompense or reward beyord
the success of his team. His excellent
judgment and coolness has kept the
organization in the best of shape and
his absence will be missed, but every
one will extend to 'Smithy" their aid
in making the team a winner this
year.
Might Strike (Jas First.
From Saturday's Dally.
In an interview with one of the
oil well men Mondav we were inform
ed that the prospects were excellent
for oil or gas, and from the present
indications gas would be more than
likely struck before oil. The well is
now down to almost 300 feet and the
boys doing, the work are harel at it
day and night. To say when oil or
gas w ill be founel, would only be guess
work, but there will be one thing sure,
the Ledger will have a full report t.n
the matter from time to time as the
work progresses. Ur.ion Ledger.
Geo. Hudig came down from Have
lock Saturday evening to visit over
Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.

W. II. Freese Keported Sick.
From Saturday's tall.
W. II. Freese is among those who
have been suffering from illness for
the last few days and is now confined
to his home on West Vine street by a
very severe attack of the grippe and
it general breakdown, which has pre
vented his being around as usual, and
he has been very much missed by his
friends and associates.
LOOKING FOR BOSCOE
BIASCO, WANTED FOR
GBBERY IN 0H1AK
From Saturday's Pally.
A short time ago when LeRoy, the
hypnotist, was in this city, he had in
his company a young man known as
Koscoe Binsco, who was supposed to
have a part in the performance cf the
art of hypnotism, and the young man,
it seems, is desired very much by the
Omaha police for the theft of numer
ous articles of considerable value from
the apartments of Yale Holland, the
Missouri Pacific attorney in that city,
as well as from Mr. Smalos, one of
the employes of the Conservative
Loan & Building association. It would
seem fiom what can be learned of the
nifair that the young man had been
employed in the apartment house
v here the robbery occurred as a cook
and on Thursday had committed the
theft of the articles, among which
was a very valuable full dress suit
belonging to Mr. Holland. The same
day Biasco was in this city looking up
a number of his friends, but by the
time the won! was. sent here yester
day the bird had fiown, as when Chief
of Tolice Barclay started the search
on leceipt of the message from the
Omaha authorities the man had made
his getaway to more fertile fields.
Uolh Mr. Holland and Mr. Smaie
were here last evening to assist in
seeing if any tiaee of the man could
lie found, out without avail. A num
ber of ai tides stolen were found in
the loom occupied by Biasco
Omaha.

PLATTSMOUTH 15
REPRESENTED II
THESE 6ME
Get Beat at Nebraska City and South
Omaha and Bible Class Defeats
Auburn Here.
From Saturday Dallv.
The I'lattsmouth followers of the
game of basket ball in this city cer
tainly were well represented last even
ing in the series of games played, both
in this city and in Nebraska City and
South Omaha.
The Young Men's Bible class team
of the Methodist church of this city
were engaged at the roller skating
rink in a contest with the team rep
iesenting the Christian Endeavors of
Auburn, and in this spirited and ex
citing game the bible class boys were
the victors over the visitors by a score
of 23 to 21. The game was witnessed
by cjuite a large crowd and the en
thusiasm of the fans was most intense,
as the locals scored their win by their
splendid playing.
The line-up was as follows:
Auburn Keyts, right forward;
Mostin, left forward; Leeper, center;
Aiily, right guard; Sapp, left guard;
Howell, substitute.
Plattsmouth Carmen, right for
ward; C. Dalton, left forward; L. Dal
ton, center; Seivers, right gaurd; Wo
man, left guard: Schafer, substitute.
Field Goals Carmen, 4; C. Dalton,
4; L. Dalton. 3; Ailly, 2; Mostin, 7;
Leeper, 1.
Free Throws C. Dalton, (i; Keyts,
2; Ailly, 2.
The High school boys journeyed
down to Nebraska City to meet the
High school team there and were de
feated in a very close and exciting
game by a score of 20 to 15. The lo
cals played a splendid game and were
handicapped by the fact that the cen
ter of the team, Frank Marshall, was
not in the game, and this was largely
responsible for the defeat, as he has
teen very effective in the games this
season and a great many cf the plays
made were laid around his position,
and his absence served to make it
necessary for then lays to be shifted
by the other members of the line-up.
The Plattsmouth team defeated the
boys from the Otoe county metropolis
when they visited here a few weeks
ago, so that they are even now in the
matter of games. The boys returned
home this morning on the early Mis
souri Pacific, and while not winners,
were well pleased with the showing
they had made in the game.
In the game at South Omaha be
tween the girls' team of the High
school and the girls of the pnckhig
house suburb of Omaha, the South
Omaha girls were the winners In a
rather rough and tumble game by a
score of 20 to ". The Plattsmou'h
team suffered injury of two of their
players, Eva Brintner and Lenoia
Snyder, and were compelbed to quit
a. t. r , i
i;;e eoiieee oe-ioie iu w as luiii iitivu
. . . ,
owing to iris i act. mo game was a
very rough one throughout and the
girls feel fortunate that more of them
were not injured in the contest.

REPRESENTATIVE
This morning a filing was received
y County Clerk Libershal from John
Murtey of Alvo, who will be a can

prominent democrat? in his .section of
the county and engaged in the lumber
and grain business in Alvo. whore he
is held very highly by the community.
If elected to the office of represent
ative from Cass county he would be
able to fill the position with ability
and credit to the county, as he pos
sesses all the qualifications necessary
for the office anel is a splendid gentle
man in every way. This filing about

democrats are concerned, but as yet
no republican has filed for the nom
ination for representative on the re
publican ticket.

In the account of the lleil-Gauer
