A Race for a Million.'

ing forward to the time when a hone

in no way disappointed on last Satur

Messrs. William Parr and Roy Kline
gave the play "A Race for a Million,"
at the Puis & Gansemer hall. It was
all that could be asked of a home tal
ent play, each character showing care
ful preparation, and their delivery
was so perfect that it drew applause
from the audience on several occa
sions. The hall was crowded and the
total receipts amounted to $0i).8.",
which amount, after deducting the
expenses, will go to the library. While

Warning to Motorcyclists.
We have been informed that .there
has been considerable motorcycle rac
ing in this locality during the past few
weeks that some of the citizens are
beginning to grow tired of, fearing
that someone, either the riders or
other highway travelers, 'may get seri
ously injured as the result of the
same. The people are willing for the
motorcycles rider to receive his share
f the pleasure of all there is in the
good roads of this community, but not
to the danger of others, and we have
been requested to give a little warning
to those taking part in these races as
to the laws of Nebraska prohibit us
ing the highways for this purpose
Have your fun, bays, but the careful
in the future.
Fingers Badly Mashed.
Lyle, the little son of Mrs. Ona
Lawton, caught two of his fingers in
a cider press Tuesday, cutting them
from the hand. The little finger was
replaced and stitched to the hand and
the doctor is of the opinion that it will
grow back and will be of full service
to the little fellow. The third finger
was too badly crushed for this treat
ment. The little man suffered a great
deal from the injury, but is getting
along nicely.
Mrs. Albert Lillic and daughter.
Ltona, and little son, Roy, were visit
ing with Weeping Water friends a
few days last week.
Arnold Lillie was struck witlt a
pitch fork Monday evening while loid-
ir.ij hay and leceived quite a pain.a
wound.
Remember ths Journal carries the
finest line of stationery in town, and
There were three rather serious
motorcycle accidents in this vicinity
last Sunday, in one of which Leslie
Wunderlich was quite painfully in
jured. He was traveling at a pretty
fair rate of speed just west of Mur
ray when his cycle struck some loose
soil in the road, the wheels skidded and
the rider was thrown with consider
able force into the fence. His wrist
was quite badly cut, requiring several
stitches to close up the wound. The
motorcycle was but slightly damaged.
Another one also happened just west
of Murray, in which Harold Todd was
the rider of the two-wheeled demon of
the public highway. Harold was
slightly injured in the lower limb
about the knee, but nothing serious.
Another one happened in Murray when
a young man named Doty, from near
Avoca, collided with the auto of
Charles Reed. Like the former, no
serious damage was done; the rider
only stunned for a moment, and was
able to ride the vehicle home. The
fender of Mr. Reed's car was slightly
damaged.
Road That Needs Loking After.
James G ruber came very rear
meeting with a serious auto accident
at the McDonald bridge east of Mur
ray last Thursday evening. Dr. Gil
more and Peter Jorgensen were stand
ing with their cars at this point, the
doctor having run out of gasoline and
was making a loan from the latter,
when Mr. Gruber came along and,
passing to the east side of the road to
get by, ran his car into the weeds,
where he supposed was a good founda
tion, but started to slip down the
bank, when the car was caught and
held by the other gentlemen. This is
the fourth car that has dropped from
this bank this spring, and if not re
paired someone may get seriously in
jured. It is a bad place and needs
attention immediately.
