POLLOCK PARMELE
SUFFERS FRACTURED
LEG YESTERDAY
Pollock Parmele arr:ved home last
niirht on No. 10. suffering from a
fractured right leg which he sustained
yesterday while at work on his ranch,
located between Hay , Springs and
Alliance. Pollock was engaged in
rounding up several yearlings on -the
ranch to brand them, and while he
was engaged in branding one of the
animals in the branding lot on the
ranch the animal launched a vicious
kick that resulted in the fracturing
of the right leg between the knee and
ankle. Realizing his condition, the
injured young man remained quiet
until the arrival of a surgeon from
Alliance, who had him taken to that
city, where the injured limb was set
in the hospital in that city and Mr.
Parmele placed on the east-bound
Burlington train for Lincoln, where
he was met by his father, C. C. Par
mele, and was able to make connec
tions with No. 10, reaching here last
night. He is getting along nicely and
resting as easy as possible under the
circumstances, and everything seems
favorable for his speedy recovery
from the accident. At the time of the
accident Jack Parmele and George
Ioey of this city, who are at the
Parmele ranch visiting, were the only
ones present to assist the injured
young man, as the other men on the
ranch were engaged in their work in
ether sections.

The vaudeville attraction which
was billed to appear at the Airdomc

church. At a suitable hour dainty
and delicious refreshments were
served by the hostess, who was as
sisted in serving and entertaining by

consequently did not v attempt a per
formance, but this evening they will
show at the Grand theater, which will
be prepared for them, and here they
can put on their excellent and refined
performance with comfort to- them
selves and their audience. This com
pany is perhaps tne best ot its kind
that has appeared in this city and it
is to be regretted that they have suf
fered the handicap of bad weather as
everyone in the company is an artist
and deserves a full house to witness
their performance. Those who desire
to spend a short time in the enjoy
ment of a first class show should not
miss it tonight. The company is the
best that ever visited Plattsmouth

excelled.

4- J. Smith, recognized as one of
Nebraska's authorities upon fruit
growing, has written the marketing
committee of the Commercial club in
Omaha a letter outlining the possi
bilities of commercial apple orchards
in Nebraska.
He says that commercial apple
growing in Nebraska is not an easy
enterprise, and requires careful pre
paration of ground in- order to gain
successful results.
The land must be fertile, with good
drainage, and should be carefully cul
tivated for at least one season before
planting the trees.
Prepare the Soil.
The fall before the orchard is plant
ed the ground should be deeply plow
ed. Then in the spring it should be
disced and harrowed and the trees set
hole about sixteen inches square,
thirty feet apart in every direction, in
All broken and damaged roots
should be removed before planting,
and most mellow earth should be
placed about the roots.
Mr. Smith advises careful consulta
tion with market experts and with the
Nebraska Experiment station at the
state farm at Lincoln in order to de
termine" varieties to be planted.
Pruning Is Essential.
Trees should be properly pruned
and headed back when planted. vid

EMPLOYES TO CON
SIDER BEFORE VOTING
From "Wednesday's Daily.
Trainmen and yardmen of the vari
our railroads have been notified that
they will be asked to vote on whether
they will support by a strike the de
mands made by the four brother
hoods of the railroads regarding the
eirht-hour day. The conference in
New- York last week between .the
representatives of the railroads and
of the trainmen, enginemen and yard
men terminated without an agree
ment being reached.
The Burlington railroad, through
II. E. Bryam, the vice president, has
issued a statement to its employees,
asking them to weigh the facts care
fully before casting a vote that might
destroy the amicable conditions that
prevail on the road at this time. The
circular states that all of the present
road schedules are based on a ten-
mile-an-hour basis, and that a change
to a twelve and one-half-mile-an-hour
basis in road service, 'at the ten-hour
rates, would be entirely unfair to the
company.

MARRIAGE RECORD-,
' ED IN THIS CITY
MAKES A FINE RECORD
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE WEDDED
From Tuesday's Delly.
Yesterday at the court house oc
curred the marriage of Mr. Walter
Houck and Miss Elizabeth- Byrne,
both of Omaha, the ceremony being
performed by Judge Beeson. The
young people came down - on No. 4
yesterday morning, and after dinner
sought the-office of the judge, where
they procured a license and in a few
minutes were united . safely in the
bonds of wedlock. The happy young
couple returned home on the after
noon Burlington train.
From "Wednesday's Dally.
The record of the postoffice clerks
in this city from reports received
irom me omce ot tne examiners
makes a most flattering showing as
this city stands at the head of the
towns in Nebraska with a grade of
99.42. That is most pleasing to the
employes of the postoffice and shows
the efficient work that is being car
ried out in the local office.
The first war marriage in this
county occurred yesterday afternoon
when one of the young men belong
ing to the company of national guard
at Glenwood motored over' in com
pany with the lady of his choice and,
securing a marriage license, repaired
to the rectory of St. Luke's church,
where Father W. S. Leete made them
as one, and the young man can go
away to war with the thoughts of his
bride awaiting his return to cheer
him in his hours of service at the
front. After the ceremony the young
people returned to their home and
will keep the wedding from their
friends until the soldier hoys leave
for the front.
The Musical McDonalds appeared
at the Grand theater last evening and
the occasion was one that attracted
quite a good sized audience to enjoy
the rare treat offered by this fine
aggregation of ladies and gentlemen.
The company offers a number of
pleasing specialties during the prog
ress of tne evening s entertainment
that are all first class and well worthy
the time of anyone as they are clean
and refined in every way. The Mc
Donalds offered a comedy and music
sketch, last evening, "Getting Mur
phy's Goat," which gave them an
opportunity of -introducing some very
clever work. Smith and Lewis in
their song and dance number were
very pleasing anl won much approval
for their" efforts in this line. The
scream of the entertainment was. the
sketch "The Boss of the House," in
which . the members gave a most
laughable takeoff on the woman suf
fragette in her management of the
affairs of her household, which served
to bring a hearty laugh from every-
one. uon t tail to see tnem tonignt.
