precinct shows about nine hundred
acres of winter wheat seeded, most
of which is looking fine and is prom
ising a good crop. This is less than
the average amount which has been
the custom to seed. Still the price
should have been a stimulus to the

th? prices go merrily on.
Were hiding With Grim Specter
Last Monday morning very early,
in fact between midnight and one
o'clock a party of people from Weep
ing Water and near there were com
ing from Omaha and wishing to
make the train which is due near that
hour at Union and having a case of
Gasolinettis, two cars were coming
down the north road and while es
saying to make the turn Just east of
Union, a Kissel car ran too fast and
too near the edge of the bank and
rolled over, making a complete rev
olution, but lighting with the front
of the car pointed in the opposite
direction to which it was traveling,
with the car nearly demolished. Two
young men were in the car and one
was badly injured, it requiring five
stitches by Dr. W. M. Baritt to close
the long gaping wound in the head
of one of the young men. Death
was riding in the rear seat of that
car and when the car rolled over,
his hand which he had on the should
er of the young man slipped and thus
enabled the speeder to make his es
cape. Better drive a little steady
boys, once over and the game is off.
Union Schools Close.
With the last week the schools of
Union concluded their year's work
and what they have done has gone
into history. The things which they
have done, the facts which have been
instilled into the minds of the schol
ars, the training which has been im
parted to the youth, will tell in the
years to come we hope in a better
society and a more usable govern
ment for the betterment of the whole
people. Anyway the year's work has
been done. The closing exercises
were marked by the usual program.
Dr. Cresap of Nebraska City, made
the address at the closing exercises

GREENWOOD DAMAGE
SUIT NOW ON TRIAL
Jury is Secured in Federal Court for
$35,000 Damage Suit Filed by
William A Stewart.
From Tuesday's Daily.
A jury was secured in the United
States district court Monday after
noon to try the $35,000 damage suit
of William Arthur Stewart, admin
istrator of the estate of John Wil
liam Stewart, deceased, against
Walker D. Hines, director general
of American railroads and the Bur
lington. John William Stewart, nineteen
years of age, was driving an auto
mobile January 21, when he was
killed at a railroad grade crossing at
Greenwood. A companion was al
leged to have been seriously hurt
and a damage suit has ben insti
tuted in bis behalf asking for
$15,000.
In a statement to the jury Lowe
Ricketts, one of the attorneys for
the plaintiff, said that the crossing
where the accident occurred was at
that time obscured by a dwelling
house and a section house and that
a clump of weeds four or five feet
high also helped to hide the Bur
lington tracks. It was explained
that the railroad runs through a
deep cut near the crossing. He said
that the plaintiff expected to prove
that no signals were given of the ap
proach of the passenger train and
that the ordinance of Greenwood
provided that warning signals should
be maintained at the railroad cross
ing. The boy who was killed, it
was alleged, had helped to support
the family and was able to earn
good wages as a railroad worker or
as a farm hand and was strong and
rugged.
Attorney Max V. Begthol for the
defense, told the jury that it expect
ed to show that there was nothing
to obscure the crossing, and that as
a matter of fact the accident oc
curred because the driver nor his
companion looked to see if the train
was coming. The defense expected
to show that persons who witnessed
the accident had heard the whistle
of the approaching train and had
even called to the two young men to
look out for it, but no attention was
paid to them. It was contended
that the crossing vCas not located on
one of the streets of Greenwood, "but
was one under the control of the
railroad and opened simply for the
convenience ;Of travelers. 'The train
does not stop at the village. It was
pointed out that young Stewart was
born and reared in the neighborhood
and ought to have been thoroughly
familiar with the particular cross
ing. It was contended that nothing
could have been done by the defend-
