UNSUCCESSFUL SNIPE HUNTER.
Snipe hunting has been pretty good
in this locality for the past few days,
although those who have been hold
ing the sack have not been very suc
cessful, as John, the village tonsoi ial
artist will testify. Snipes have been
seen by some of the hunters in great
quantities, but ..John has never seen a
single snipe, although he held the sack
for fully one hour last Friday evening
when he accompanied Earl Baiger,
Ray Henry and Henry Rice, over near
the Wheeler place, where he was sta
tioned with the sack while the other
three rounded up the birds of the air.
John held the fort for fully one hour
but not a snipe came his way and
none of the boys returned to help
him home with the game either. John
was fortunate in not being compelled
to walk back to 3Iurray, he caught a
friend returning with a car. John
was told by his pals that snipe meat
was not very good this season of the
year, but the hides were very valu
able, and they could no doubt bag a
good number in a very short time.
The unsuccessful hunt, the boys say,
was due to the fact that John was
told to warble every twenty minutes,
and he failed to warble. No doubt
John will pass the remainder of his
days as an unsuccessful snipe hunter
for he will wager a bunch of hides
that he never tries it again.
3Irs. Joseph Cook was visiting with
Plattsmouth friends last Friday.

Harry 3IcCullough came near meet
ing with a very serious acident Wed
nesday of last week, when a pop
bottle bursted and the pieces of the
glass struck him in the face. One
piece struck Jiim in the forehead, very
close to the eye, and another near
the ear, both of which made ugly
wounds in his face. He might easily
have lost an eye.
The little son of 3Ir. and 3Irs. Ed.
Shryder died at their home west of
Murray, Wednesday morning. The
little one was about eight month:, old,
and took sick Saturday with bowel
trouble, the case being a very serious
one from the start. He was the only
child of 31r. and Mrs. Shryder, and
they certainly have the deepest sym
pathy of the entire community in this
hour of their bereavement.
31 r. and 31 rs. Albert Wheeler came
near meeting with a very serious ac
cident while returning home from

wheels of one side from the ground.
After some delay in the dark and with
the assistance of Dr. Gilmore and
Frank Vallery they were righted for
home. A light was the difncul prop
osition, but after the task of repairs
was almost completed, 3Irs. Wheeler
came to the rescue with a Christ

might as well give it to him now. It

A, T. FITT WHO WAS INJURED
SUNDAY IN OMAHA IS BETTER
A. T. Fitt, who was painfully in
jured in Omaha last Sunday evening,
is showing much improvement, and
while he will be laid up for some
time is feeling some better. Mr. Fitt
sustained a fracture of both the right
and left jaws as the result of an
automobile collision in that city. He,
with his family, were driving in their
car when suddenly another auto bore
down on them, and before the car
could be gotten out of the way the
second machine had crashed into them,
with the result that 3Ir. Fitt, who was
driving, received very severe injuries.
He was hurried to this city, where
the jaw was set and the patient made
as comfortable as possible, although
it will be some time before he will be
able to enjoy very much pleasure. The
auto that did the damage to 3Ir. Fitt
did not stop to see how badly he was
injured, but soon got away from the
scene of the collision.
THE HUNTING AND FISHING
LICENSES IN CASS COUNTY
The Hunters and fishermen of Cass
county during the last year contrib
uted the sum of $239 to the office of
the county clerk, and County Clerk
Libcrshal will send the amount to Lin
coin to be applied to the state funds
in the care of the secretary of state.
Th's amount does not represent al
of the licenses sold in the county as
several of the smaller banks through
out the county have these hunting and
fishing licenses for sale at their bank
ing houses, which saves the necessity
of the prospective hunters and fishers
coming to this city in order to get
their license, but the greater portion
of them are sold by the, county clerk
The state derives a very neat sum
over the state in the returns from
the hunting licenses. These licenses
represent the sum of $1 each and
make a total of 239 persons who have
secured permission to hunt and fish in
the county of Cass.
A UNIQUE CHARACTER GOES
TO THE COUNTY FARM
Yesterday afternoon John Palmer,
an aged resident of the vicinity of
Union, was brought to this city to
be placed in the county farm west of
this place, for care. Mr. Palmer for
years has been one of the unique char
acters of Liberty precinct, where he
has resided and followed the vocation
of wood-sawyer and doing odd jobs to
get along. He was a firm believer in
the teachings of the Seventh Dad Ad-
ventists' and for the past several years
has traveled over the country on foot
selling the tracts of this church, and
is well known to almost everyone for
miles around Union, and has often
walked to this city to dispose of his
books. He has been living in a tent
east of Union, near the river, and
the cold weather proved too severe
for him as he is well advanced in
years, . and, accordingly he came to
the county farm to be cared for in
comfort.
