HORSE KILLED BY LIVE
WIRE AND THE DRIVER
HAS'NARROW ESCAPE
From Werinesdav'a Dallv.
Last evening a short time after the
storm struck which came through this
vicinity, while making his round with
the mail, James Ilessenflow, the rural
carrier operating out of Cedar ('reek,
drove up to the mail box on the farm
of Adam Kaffenberger to deliver the
mail. When he had done so he es
sayed to drive on. The storm, how
ever, had blown a limb of a tree on
the wire of the lighting company,
which runs to Louisville, breaking it
from its supports on the poles and
one horse got inside the wire and
when they started up the wire caught
it, knocking it down and instantly
killing it. Mr. Ilessenflow quieted
the other animal and unhitihed it,
getting it away from the wagon.
Then securing assistance he had the
'Jaer horse pulled away and got his
harness from the dead horse. The
fact that the horse caught the wire
was fortunate for Mr. Ilessenflow, as
had the horse not taken the slack
fr im the wire it would have come in
contact with him as he drove along
and in all probability would have
killed him instead of the horse.
STORM WAS SEVERE AT
Plum 'i 1 1 - - 1 ; I I'aily.
Yesterday afternoon, when the rain
came it was with a violent storm in
the vicinity of Murdock, where the
machine ai.d implement house of Wil
liam Rush, a merchant of that village,
was blown down, c rushing a corn
sheller which was housed in the build
ing. This morning the wreckage was
not su'wiciently cleared away to know
the entire amount of the damage done.
Besides this, there was a silo, on the
farm of Fred St.-kes, which was par
tially blown dwn and will ha'.'e to
he rebuilt before it can be used. On
the farm of John J. (Justin south
ed of town the new barn which he
built last year was partly wrecked
and the silo which stood, near it was
blown down, thus entailing a c r.sid
t ruble damage to him. There were a
few other minor daraages, but none of
:.s much magnitude as the fines above
mentioned.
VISITS RELATIVES HERE.
From Wflnoslay"s I :iily.
Mrs. Susan Holmes, sister to the
late Judge Allen Beeson, whose home
is in Coberg, la., a ihort distance
from Red Oak, came in this afternoon
and will visit for some time at the
home of her nephews, Judge Allen
Beeson and John R. Beeson, and with
her sister-in-law, Mrs. Allen Beeson,
and Mrs. H. II. Cotton. Mrs. Holmes
has not been here for some time but
has visited here before with her
brother, Allen Beeson and family.
BREAKS PLATE GLASS WINDOW.
From AVe.lnestlay's Paily.
Someone, last night, with nothing
else to do but destroy someone else'3
property, threw a brick through the
plate glass window of Peters & Par
ker's office, breaking it, so it will
have to be replaced by a new one,
and which at the prices now prevail
ing, will cost about $100. There was
some other depredations committed at
the store of Phillip Thierolf, and with
the sign of Roy Smith, the pho
togiapher. These culprits should be
brought to justice and made to pay
for the property destroyed, as well
as being punished for the offense.
These things are of too frequent oc
currence, and the only way to pre
vent their recurrence is to have the
law enforced to its fullest extent.
GOES TO HOSPITAL .TODAY.
From YVeilnfsJay's Iaily.
Miss Marie Donat, who has been
visiting at Omaha with the family of
her uncle, Mr. Henry Donat, for some
time past, was taken with appendi
citis, and her mother, Mrs. Ed Donat,

ter's illness, asking him to come this

PITAL AT OMAHA
From Wetlnesilny's riaily.
Yesterday at fifteen minutes after
noon the spirit of Chailes Brown
passed away at the Clarkson hospital
in Omaha, where he had been for the
past two days. Mr. Brown was op
erated on for gallstones and other
complications and at no time did he
show the recuperative powers desired
and during the night following his
operation he grew worse and the
friends and relatives who were within
call were notified. J. L. Lowther,
father of the wife of Mr. Brown, has
tened to his bedside this morning. He
grew rapidly worse until death came
to his relief at midday today.
Mr. Brown was about forty years
of age and was born at Wyoming,
in Otoe county, where he grew to

Red Oak, la. They removed to Avoca,
where he farmed until about five
years ago, when he went up near Val

considering his health, which was
very bad. To the marriage there were
six children born. ; 11 of whom survive
their father. They are: William
Brown, aged about Julia, John.
Rita and Raymond, twins and Fran
cis .aged 4. There were with Mr.
Brown to cheer his last moments his

Joe West and family, and Ernest Bo
len and family of Lincoln, sisters and
cousins of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Thom
son, motored to the Thompsori home
at the Platte river auto bridge Sen
flay morning. This was in the na
ture of a family reunion and was a
complete surprise to the Thompsons,
as their guests had not kept them
posted of their coming. They had
come armed with baskets filled with
many good things to eat, and at the
noon hour all were invited to partake
of a bounteous repast and to which
all did ample justice. The afternoon
hours were delightfully whiled away
in various amusements, and during
the evening hours and when :t 1 e
came a little cooler, the guests re
turned to their homes, declaring tlu v
had spent a most delightful lay.
OMAIIANS PASS THROUGH CITY.

McArdle, and Senator J. M. Tanner
and daughter passed through this
city from Omaha in autos, and will
make a tour of the south, winding up

good fellow and a royal friend, could
not resist the opportunity afforded
in passing through Plattsmouth in
calling upon and shaking hands with
his old-time friend, Col. M. A. Bates.
VISITS SON IN HOSPITAL.
From Wlnes1nv"s 1ai!v.
Mrs. H. A. Duffield of this city, ac
companied by her daughter, Mrs.
Glenn Osborn of Weeping Water,
were passengers to Omaha this morn
ing, where they will visit for the day
with the son of the former, Dr. Vic
tor Duffield, who some three weeks
since was injured, at Union by being
thrown from a train, and has i since
been paralyzed. Mrs. Duffield had
hoped that he might be showing im
provement, but reports from the hos
pital seem to dispel the hope, as
the young man is not making any im
provement at this time.
v SERVICES AT WILES HOME.
Rev. A. E. Wachtel will hold serv
ices at the Troy E. Wiles residence,
near Sunnyside schoolhouse, on Sun
day evening, August 5th, at eight

MEN, FINE FELLOWS,
HAVE A SHOWER BATH
From Wednesday's Paily.
We are admiring the spirit of the
Burlington switchmen of this place in
the demonstration of their progres
sive intentions in the building and
equipping of a model shower bath at
the switch shanty. The switch office
which is situated on the bank of the
Missouri liver touches the bank on
the west side, while on the east it is
some eight feet above. Now under
this office there is much waste space
and the switchmen and others in the
yard and station service have gone
together and arranged three barrels
along the north end of the office build
ing with pipes connected, which lead
to the room which is being construct
ed below, and with the ingenuity of
inventors have arranged the work
ings of the system of irrigation so
that the shower bath is a certitude.
Engaged in the work in which they
are and it being so likely to cause
them to get covered with coal dust
and dirt, this will enable the boys to
fight the proposition of dust and dirt
better than without this added con
venience. Boys, we admire the spirit
you manifest, as well as the ingenuity
displayed in the construction of the
bath.
NOT SO WELL.
From "Wednesday's Daily.
Miss Teresa Ilemple was a passen
ger to Omaha this afternoon, where
she goes in response to a call to the
bedside of lu?r sister, Mrs. Louise
Klein, who is at a hospital in Omaha,
where she has been for the past few-
weeks, and where, notwithstanding
the care she has been having, her ad
vancement has not been what has
been desired. The nurses of the hos
pital telephoned Miss Henvple to come,
as her sister was not so well, and
had been having attacks of sinking
spells, which leave her in a weakened
condition.
Miss Gladys Cook, of Beaver City,
daughter of John Cook, formerly of
this city and a brother of C. E. Cook,
came in last evening and is visiting
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hill
south of the city.

G. R. OLSON WILL
ESTABLISH PLANT
AT FORT RILEY
Yesterday G. Ti. Olson returned
from Junction City, Kan., where he
went to rent a building for his busi
ness. He reports that after a long
time he succeeded in securing one,'
the upper floor of a building which
had heretofore rented for ?10, but
for which he had to pay $50, and con
sidered himself fortunate at that.
With the advent of the mobilization
of 70,000 troops there in the near
future the town is taking a boom.
Fort Riley is just two miles from
this city, and everything is on the
up-grade. Store rooms which had for
merly rented for $35 per month are
now commanding $250, and all taken.
Junction city is a town about the size, there was any insurance on the build
ordinarily, of Plattsmouth. There ing and contents, or not.
In the CMC line the Manufacturer, Mer
chant, Municipality, Contractor, Farmer
in fact any man, business or corporation
with hauling to do can find the truck that
will fit the work to be done. THAT makes
motor trucks profitable.
The GMC line presents trucks from 1,500
pounds to 5 ton capacity. In no other fac
tory can such a variety of trucks be found.
From no other factory can better quality
be had.
The records of their ser
vice furnish a depend
able guide in determin
ing what CMC trucks
can do for you.

BARN BURNS WEST OF MURRAY
The barn on the farm of Miss
Laura Puis, some two and a half
miles west of Murray, was struck by
lightning, at about fi o'clock this
morning, and burned to the ground.
The place is occupied by Chas. Hev
ron, and in the barn he had a spring
wagon, about seven tons of hay and
250 bushels of corn, besides the har
ness used for his horses. The horses
had been turned in the pasture in
the evening and thus escaped. It has
not been ascertained as to whether
