BIG DAMAGE
SUIT FILED IN
DISTRICT GOO
T
Mrs. Fred Schmarterer Sues John Un
der Co. of Omaha for Selling
Liquor to Her Husband.
Now Deceased.
A suit for 000 damages for the
death of Fred Schmarterer at the
Woodworth pond near Louisville, last
September, has been filed in the dis-
tiict court in this city by the widow,
Mrs. Sigrid Schmarterer. against '
the John Linder Company of Omaha '
and the Chicago Bonding anl Security
company.
In the petition filed in court it is
c tated that the defendant, the John
Linder Company, is a corporation of
the state of Nebraska, whose place of
business is in the city of Omaha,
where they are engaged in the sale of
liquor, ami that the Chicago Bonding
and Security company is the security
on the bend of the liquor company. It
is alleged that on September 13, 2ilG,
the John Linder company sold and de
livered to Fred Schmarterer at Louis
ville one jug of whisky and with the
contents of the jug, Mr. Schmarterer
and several companions held a cele
bration near the Woodworth pond and
that the result was that Mr. Schmart
erer became so much under the influ
ence of the liquor as to cause him to
lose control of his facilities and in a
spirit of drunken valor proceeded to
jump into the pond and attempt to
swim across to demonstrate, his skill
before his companions. As a result
c f the effects of the liquor he was un
able to swim and was drowned in the
pond before, his companions could
reach his side. It is further stated
that at the time of his death, the de
ceased was 26 years of age and was
employed as engineer on a steam
shovel, at a wage of from $100 to
per month, and that his death
has left the wife and two children,
William, aged 2 years, and Charlotte,
aged 4 months, in a condition without
support or any means. It is there
fore prayed by the plaintiff that a
judgment for $50,000 be given her and
the two children for their care and
support.

PRESBYTERIANS WIN
FROM THE WOPS
OF OMAHA
From Tuopilny's Taily.
Last evening one of the best basket
ball games of the season was staged
at the roller skating rink when the
Presbyterian Bible class team won
from the Methodist Wops of Omaha,
by a score of 45 to 40. In the open
ing half of the game the Presby
terians ran away from the visitors,
piling up a score of 32 to 1G, and it
seemed as though the affair was to be
decidedly in favor of the locals, but
in the second half the Wops by chang
ing their method of play gave the
Presbyterians the race of their lives
to maintain their lead, as the Wops
annexed twenty-four goals to thirteen
for the Presbyterians. Patty, who
r.layed forward for the visitors, had
the Presbyterians on the go all the
time in this half, and secured eight
goals to his credit by his dashing and
clever playing. The game aroused the
greatest enthusiasm among the spec
tators and the game fight put up by
the visitors was warmly applauded by
the rooters. The Wops are a new
team in Omaha and are a fast organ
ization throughout' and composed of
fine young men.
As a preliminary to the main event
the Eighth grade team of the Central
building took on the Sophomores of
the high school and succeeded in de
feating the high school hoyse by the
interesting score of 8 to 7.
JEWELRY SWIPED
FROM SHELDON'S IS
RECOVERED EN OMAHA
From dne(1av's Daily.
Sheriff Quinton returned from
Omaha last evening where he located
a number of the articles which were
taken from the store of F. P. Sheldon
at Nehawka, on Saturday night.
The articles recovered consisted for
the greater part of jewelry including
a number of watches and small pieces,
such as fancy pins, watch chains and
lockets. They were found in a pawn
shop at Thirteenth and Jackson
J streets where they had been pawned
Sunday afternoon, but the party who
committed the burglary seems to
have been able to dispose of the arti
cles to a second party who did the
pawning. From the circumstances of
the burglary it seems as though the
robbery was carried out by the same
person who did the recent job at Man
ley when one of the stores in that
place was entered and a number of
articls stolen. A stranger was in
the Sheldon store on the day of the
robbery to purchase some foodstuff
and from his description it seems as
though he was the party that pulled
off the robbery. He was a small man
about five feet, five inches in height,
weighing about 123 pounds and ap-
pared to be in the neighborhood of
(twenty-four years of age.
BURLINGTON
WILL SPEND
$5,000,000
Improvements During Coming Year
Include Big Elevator and
Terminal Yards.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 30 The Bur
lington railroad will spend about $.,-
000,000 in improving its system, it
has been announced by Vice-Presi
dent II. E. By ram, who is on a tour
of the Burlington lines with other
officials.
Nebraska's share of the expendi
tures will be a $1,000,000 elevator at
Gibson near Omaha, a cutting down
of the hills between Omaha and
South Omaha; seven miles of double
track between Greenwood and Ash
land: and an enlargement of the
Lincoln terminal yards.
The road counts on the big elevator.
to have a capacity of 2.560 cars, for
grain shipping season. The system's
relieving car shortage during the
cars can be unloaded at Gibson and
sent back again to Nebraska stations
without being lost to the line.
The road is purchasing 2.000 grain
cars, 3,000 coal cars and 50 large lo
comotives.
Mr. By ram said railroad presidents
in sew l ork soon would sign an
agreement whereby the car shortage
situation may be permanently re
lieved. Under this agreement roads
pay high demurrage charges on cars
not their own.
The Burlington stands ready to put
up a new depot in .Lincoln, when
ever the other roads will agree to use
it. The promise will be .made good
if the Union Pacific alone will come
in.

THE COUNTY OFFICIALS IN
A MUSS THIS WEEK
From W'O'lnotln y'.v Daily.
The officials at the court house are,
figuratively speaking, camping in
their offices this week during the pro
cess of the cleaning and painting of
the halls and offices on the second
floor of Cass county's beautiful build- '
ing. County Clerk Libershal has been 1 d:iV-s picn;,. u, th. temperature stood
one of the officials to feel the effects ' 1(t -.0 de-recs below zero at 7 o'clock,
of the cleaning -and painting as his ' :itk1 durinr, t;)e Cu,Ii(... hours if tke
office has been torn up for the last morning it- had re-ehed a much lowt
few days, and which makes the han- ; :i,uvc. The weather all dav ve.-ter-
dling of the routine work a hardship,
but in the end justifies the means as
the cleansing was badly needed in the
offices where it is being prosecuted.
Frank Gobelman has a large force of
men on hand carrying on the work
and is pushing it along as rapidly r.s
possible.

in this city and vicinity as a guest of
his sister, Mrs. Charles Troop. Mr.

Murray, who is at the hospital in
Omaha being treated for an injured
hip which wu:s .dislocated sometime
ago, and in company with Mrs. Troop

near Alva, Oklahoma, and has been

very active in the automobile organi
zations and in the good loads move

a great deal of time in the marking
of the different trails in Oklahoma

Before the arrival of the department
however, the members of the family
had succeeded in putting out the
Dazc which was caused by several
partjcles of burning soot from the

the roof and causing several small
places to be burned before they covdd
be extinguished. It was fortunate
that the result was not more serious
and had the blaze received a few min-
' utes start would have been h.ird to
check. The fire was discovered by
Miss Carrie Baird who stepped out
into the yard for a moment, saw the
roof just starting to blaze from the
flying particles of soot and she at
once called George L. Tarley, residing
nearby who with several buckets of
water was able to put out the bla7e
without only a slight damage Icing
done to the property.
