Some Excitement, for a Time
About a week ago, while Frank
Boggs was hauling a load of straw
from west of town on his spring
wagon, the straw caught fire in some
mysterious manner, and for a short
time promised a serious ending, but
Mr. Boggs, noticing the smell of the
burning straw soon was able to
pitch off the blazing part of the load
with the aid of his ixusty pitchfork,
and thus save the remainder of the
load as well as his wagon. It is said
that some one handy with a camera,
who happened to see the incident,
took some three or four snap shots
of the conflagration. It is fortunate
that nothing more serious came of
the incipient blaze. ,

COMES UP FOR TRIAL
Case of John F. Morris vs. Missouri
Pacific Railway on Docket for
March Term of Court.
From Tuesday's Daily.
The damage suit, in which John
F. Morris, of near Wabash, seeks to
recover from the Missouri Pacific
railway company in the sum of $20,
000 for personal injuries received
while the plaintiff was in the' em
ploye of the railroad-, was placed on
trial yesterday in the (tistrict court.
The jury selected to try the case con
sisted of H. F. Goos, H. E. Stein
hauer, George L. Farley, Albert
Wheeler, E. B. Chapman, G. G. Mar
shal, Henry Nolting, C. H. Camp
bell, G. G. Meisinger, Earl Cole, Ed
Heil and Henry Sanders.
This case was tried at the No
vember term of the court, but after
a deliberation lasting over two days
the jury was unable to reach an
agreement and disagreed, placing the
case over for trial at the present
term.
Morris was a section man on the
railroad and it is claimed suffered
his injurjr as the result of defective
tools provided by the representatives
of the railroad company. Attorney
Yale Holland of Omaha and W. A.
Robertson, of this city, represent the
railroad interests while Matthew
Gering appears as the attorney for
the plaintiff.
Snow Bound at York
W. H. Porter, who started a short
time since for the western part of
the state, intending to visit in Chase
county and also at Arriba, Colorado,
was overtaken by the storm of last
week when he reached York and had
to stop there until the storm should
have blown over.
Village Ticket in the Field
The meeting of the voters of Union
in mass convention on last Friday,
resulted in the placing in nomina
tion of eight names for the election
of village trustees . at the coming
spring election late this month
Those selected for the two year
term, of whom there are to be three
elected, are W. B. Banning, D. R.
Frans, C. F. Harris, H. L. Swanson,
W. A. Taylor and W. H. Mark, while
for the one year term, for which
there is to be one elected, Frank An
derson and Frank Bauer were named
as opposing condidates. For village
clerk, J. D. Cross and Joe Banning
will vie with each other for honors
and for treasurer, ladies break into
the limelight in local politics. Miss
Eva Hathaway and Miss Elsie Tay
lor being pitted against each other.
The placing In nomination of a
double ticket will cause considerable
added interest to be taken in the
election and doubtless result in the
casting of a full vote. Every one of
the candidates named is most capable
and the town will be In good hands,
regardless of who gets the most votes
at the election.
Made Some Money at Social
Last week under the able direction
of Miss Alice Crozier, an excellent
program and box supper was given
at the school house, which had for
Its purpose the raising of funds for
use in increasing the library in the
Union schools.
A most excellent program preced
ed the sale of the boxes and the
large crowd in attendance enjoyed
It a great deal.
Miss Bessie LaRue presided at
the piano and pleased the audience
who joined In on the choruses at
the proper time, invoking a spirit of
gaiety to the occasion. Miss Frances
Bauer sang a beautiful - number
known as "Supshine for Smiles' and
Miss Lyda Clark gave a reading, "On
the Yukon," which elicited hearty
encores and called for a response.
Mrs. J. B. Taylor followed with an
excellent reading, "At the Dawning."
Professor E. A. Ward . then gave
some very Interesting and pleasing
instrumental numbers. Mrs. Taylor
and Miss LaRue sang a duet, which
called for another. Little Rachel
Kendall pleased the audience immen
sely with her reading, as did also
Ina LaRue, they both being recalled
by hearty applause. Miss Eva Hath
away also gave a very pleasing read
ing which was highly appreciated.
The entire program was a very
pleasing one, while the sale of boxes
netted the committee something like
$33 after the expense had been met.
This, together with a small balance
in the treasury, makes a neat sum
for a beginning to1 the Library fund.
