A DEN OF WOLVES
UNEARTHED ON THE
EGENBERGER FARM
From Friday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon a den 01
wolves was unearthed on the Egen-
berger farm, south of this city, by
M. G. Stava, Lee Fickler and Clar
ence Price, who were working near
there, when thfcHeuddenljicarpe on
the hangou of the wolves, ajidin a
few minutes had- four of tkh young
cr.es cagiye. The wolves . were ,6f
pretty god-;sif,e and the gentlemen
are quite 'pfeated with their capture
as it will probably result in ridding
that locality of a nuisance . of the
worst tirid. So far the old' wolves
have not been captured, but every
effort will be made to land them and
rid the community of the prowlings
of the animals around the farms ' in.
that locality, where they did" a great
deal of mischief in the last few
months. Only a few days ago one of
the animals visited the farm of Mr.
Stava and carried away a full-grown
chicken, and they had become so bold
as to come right up in the farm yard
in broad daylight, so that the finding
of their den is pleasing in the ex
treme to the residents along the river
bluffs.

J. R. RUMMERFIELD INVENTS
-AN AUTOMOBILE 'DIRECTOR
From Friday's Dally.
J. R. Rummerfield of this city has
joined the field -of inventors by his
perfection of a course" indicator for
the auto driver which seems to fill
a long-felt want. This, little device
consists of an arrow. which is placed
on the front of the dash of an auto
mobile and by pressing a button on
the door the arrow points in the way
the driver of the automobile intends
to turn, and,, being visible from the
back, permits the .driver of a machine
following to learn just what way the
machine intends to turn, saving time
as well as the danger of. accidents
and collisions. Mr. Rummerfield has
perfected the device and intends to
have a .number of them made at once
as soon as he receives his patent and
installed on automobiles here, that a
practical working may be secured
from the device. If it proves as suc
cessful as hoped for it certainly looks
as though "Bud" has secured some
thing good that will find a ready sale.

A PARTY HERE FROM
THE OIL REGIONS NEAR
UNION YESTERDAY
From Saturday's Dally.
An automobile party ot oil pros
pectors and others from Union were
in the city yesterday afternoon for a
few hours and the party was under
the charge of Attorney C. L. Graves,
as guide, and they spent a short time
here looking after a few matters in
regard to the oil well work near
Union. In the party were Lon Deit
rich, the owner of the well drilling
outfit, as well as ''Curley" Robinson
and Dick Dickson, two of the expert
drillers, who have been" engaged in
the work at that place. Ellis LaRue
and George Stites, the liveryman,
accompanied the party to this city.
The work on the oil well has been
prosecuted until a depth of 700 feet
was reached, when some of the well
-
boring apparatus was covered up in
the weil ami made it necessary to
replace it with other machinery, and
this has delayed the advancement of
the work quite a great deal, but seems
to have been overcome, and the oper
ations will be resumed in a very
short time. The residents of Union
and vicinity aie very optimistic as to
the possibilities of striking oil in the
drilling operations, which are being
carried out near the Missouri river,
five miles east of that place. It is to
be hoped that the ambitions of the
Union people can find a realization
in a great flowing 'oil or gas well,
adding to the great natural wealth
of this county.
SAFETY" FIRST
When riding on. a country road,
, Near a crossingat a grade,
You hear a distant whistle blow
And know why the sound is made
1
AH who hear the warning given
Must expect to find
An engine coming down the line
And a train of cars behind.
Can't the engineer stop it?
Why, yes, after & while,
But it takes a .little distance,
Say, "bout half a mile.
Don't give your car more gasoline,
Or whip up.ypur "old hoss," .
A lid taie a chance of getting hit,
To beat the train across.
For if it ever hits you,
Well I've only this to say:
"There'll be joy in heaven,"
Or, "There'll be the devil to pay.

IN PLATTSMOUTH
FORTY YEARS AGO.
.. --,t.imThTi iTnTiif liTiiTi
Sam Hall of Elmwood precinct is
in town. Courting, you know.
General John R. Clark is down from
Lincoln; left for home yesterday.
Mrs. Marshall has returned from
the east, and Captain and the parrot
are both happy.
An older brother of Mr. Samuel
Hinkle, with his wife, have been visit

City Treasurer James Patterson
returned home the other day from

mother, from a lingering attack of
fever.
Mr. Elam Parmele has moved from
the house owned by Julius Pepper-
berg, and Mrs. Parmele has gone to
Iowa on a visit.
Mr. J. G. Oldham killed eighteen
rattlesnakes in one hole the other
day, one old one and seventeen young
ones. It's a good thing, for at this
rate of increase next year there might
have been 250 of them.
We were very sorry to learn that
Joseph Lloyd, who was hurt so se
verely under the cars some time ago,
unfortunately slipped and injured his
leg over again. Dr. Livingston says
the injury is not a breakage hardly,
but still will keep Mr. Lloyd in his
bed again for several days.
Oliver C. Dovey, son of E. G.
Dovey, Esq., and who has faithfully
attended to business at the store for
some time, has left us and gone to

and will stay long enough to take a
regular course. We are glad to hear
this news of Oliver, and think both
he and his father show good judg
ment in so doing.
The rush and crowd continues at
the foot of Main street. Four or five
passenger trains a day and a con
stant procession of freight cars truly
make ' things lively' in Plattsmouth
If we could only induce the B. & M
hi Iowa to continue their business on
this side we feel that they would
profit in the long run ' by so doing
and it would be a great convenience
to us.

IOUS CONDITION AND
. GOES: TQ HOSPITAL
From Saturday's Dallv.
...The friends of Mr. P. E. Ruffner,
one of the oldest, residents and. demo
cratic candidate for county assessor
ivill regret greatly to learn of his
serious condition, aS a result of which
he was taken to Omaha yesterday
afternoon at 4:15 to undergo an X-ray
examination as ' to the condition of
his jaw. Mr. Ruffner had been suf
fering from toothache for . severa
days, and Tuesday had one of the
teeth pulled in the hopes of relieving
the pain he was suffering, but shortly
after the extraction of the tooth his
condition became much worse and for
the past few days he has not been
able to open his mouth or take food
the ailment resembling somewhat
that of lockjaw. It was decided that
the best way would be to have an
X-ray examination made to deter
mine the cause of the trouble and, if
possible, give the patient some relief
It is to be hoped that the examination
will discover the cause of the afflic
tion and that it will be possible to
relieve our old friend from his suf
fering.
