PLACE OF BY
GONE DAYS IS
ROCK BLUFFS
ONCE METROPOLIS OF FRONTIER
AND BATTLEGROUND 'OF IM
PORTANT POLITICAL FIGHTS
IMPORTANT PART IN POLIITCS
Waring Cornfields Mark Spot Where
Once Was City Believed, to Be
Destined to Great Things.
frftm Tuesday's Daily.
There is little to remind the vis
itor amid the pleasant country sur
roundings of old Rock Bluffs, that
once this spot marked one of the
progressive cities of the western
frontier and that in this place was
enacted many of the stirring events
of the pioneer days when tl;e law
of might was the only appeal made
by the hardy frontiersman.
Where once the thriving little city
stood in now only the fields of corn
and over the landscape only the quiet
of the great countryside prevails.
Gone are the days when the streets
were busy with the traffic of iroi
tier days and where once the busy
steamboat landing stood sweeps the
mighty waters of the Missouri, calm
and triumphant over the years lcxii,
gone when the busy packets piled
its surface carrying to the west the
provisions and supplies from the mar
kets of the east and returning with
the co.n and wheat of the plains
men. The greater part of those who re
sided there when the city was in ex
istatice have gone forth into their
other life as the gravestones in the
cemetery high on the hill overlooking
the scene of the vanished city, at
test. In the burial ground are those
who came to Nebraska in the early
days of its existence and wflose sleep
amid the scenes of their life is undis
turbed by the changes that have
transpired since their going. The
names of Patterson. Shera. Smith.
Towner. White and others who had
a great part in the life of the early
days can be found here.
The spot selected for the last rest
ing place of the pioneers is one of
great beauty as from its elevation a
wonderful view is found, the silent
river flowing peacefully at the foot
of the hills whose sides are green
with the forests of many years
growth and from this spot the nn
far distant King hill lifts its head
majestically as it stands the sentinel
of the range of hills that dot that
portion of Cass county.
Not alone from the associations of
this spot in the history of Nebraska
but from its great natural beauty it
is a spot well worth visiting and the
ride to that neighborhood is well
worth the time.

MAY FILE FOR CLERK
OF DISTRICT COURT
Petitions Being Circulated in Behalf
of Clarence L. Beal for This
Position at Fall Election.
From Tuesday's DaM.
For several weeks past, there has
been some discussion of the placing
of the name of Clarence L. Beal on
the ballot at the November election
as a candidate for the office of Clerk
of the District Court, and petitions
requesting the placing of his name
on the ballot are now being circu
lated by his friends over the county.
Mr. Beal was a candidate at the
primary election against James M
Robertson for the republican nomi
nation and was defeated for the of
fice by some 325 Totes. Since the
primary election Mr. Beal has 6uf
lered a severe accident that has de
prived him of his righl foot and his
friends are seeking to have him make
the race as an independent at the
November election.
Tb democratic party has not made
any selection for the position since
Frank J. Libershal notified the com
mittee of his withdrawal and just
what they will do or whom they will
select remains in doubt as there is
no one seeking the nomination.
If the friends of -Mr. Beal make
tfceir filing f his name, it will place
two republicans in the race for the
office, and what position the Bour
bons will take in the matter is very
doubtful, as many believe the party
should have a nominee, while others
favor the endorsement of one of the
other candidates.

was putting the belt on the pulley
that connected up the pump.
While he was so engaged, his arm
was caught in the belting and drawn
to the pulley. resulting in a very
serious fracture of the left wrist. As'
soon as the accident occurred. Dr.
J. Flynn was called -and it was
found that the bones of the wrist
were badlv crushed and the fracture
serious one.
The injured arm was dressed and
the young lad will be taken to Om
aha for a further examination and

ured arm to fully determine the ex
tent of the injury. Leonard suffered
great deal from the accident and

LITTLE BOY BITTEN
BY DOG YESTERDAY
Willie. Little Son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. S. Wetenkamp, Bitten as
Playing with Animal.
F"rn THay' Dallv
The little son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
S. Wetenkamp, while he was engaged
in Dlaving at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Will Carey, near Mynard. yes
.1
terday afternoon, was bitten by a
small dog with which the boy w;as
playing. The animal has been rather
quarrelsome and has frequently snap
ped at the owners as well as visi
tors, but had never before bitten
anyone and he was not considered
dangerous.
Mrs. Wetenkamp and children
were visiting at the Carey home and
the lfttle boy, Willie, had gone out
into the yard and started to play
with the dog and a few minutes later
his cries led to the discovery that
the. dog had bitten him on the left
side of the forehead, inflicting sev
eral teeth marks and which were
bleeding profusely.
The injured boy was hurried to
the office of a physician and the
wounds dressed while the animal
was killed by the owner. The head
of the dog will be sent to the state
laboratory at Lincoln for tests as to
rabbies'but it is thought that the
dog was free from the malady, being
merely of a rather cross temper
ment and was annoyed by the child
wnile playing. The examination of
the head of the animal will be made
however as a matter of precaution
in case the animal might have had
the rabbies and not fully developed
them.

A VERITABLE JUNGLE
RIGHT IN OUR MIDST
From Tuesday's Dally.
The residents out along Chicago
avenue where the weeds are growing
to rank profusion claim they have a
real Jungle that for the wealth of
rank vegetation would rival the far
famed African lairs of the wild ani

that thoroughfare remarked to a
Journal representative they are
thinking of organizing a hunting
party to see if they can scare up any
game from the depth of the jungle
but the fear of getting lost in the
depths of the vegetation is the only
thing holding them back.

They had arranged for a ea.- to

Grandma Ozbun is over eighty vrprs

After it had grown dark and as
they were waiting at the gate which
enters the old Otto place, tl.ev were

coiled and struck ar them. It was
then too dark to see what species it
was. but it kept hiding all the time

7 to 1 Defeat on Bed Sox Af
ter Six Fine Linings.

Yesterday afternoon a good sized i
crowd of the fans gathered at the,
Red Sox park to enjoy fhe exhibi-l
tion of the national pastime as given j
by the Bed Sox. as-isied by the Mor
ris Packing Co., of Omaha, ami upi
to the sixth inning she was some
battle, but in that fateful session i
the visitors proceeded to puncture ;
the dream of victory of t lie Sox andj
snagged three runs. Connors was hit j
freely in this inning, as well as in
the eighth and Mason by a wild j
throw from left field to first gave
fhe visitors a sart in the sixth that
led to the first of their scores.
The Red Sox drew first blood in
the game as they secured their lone
ly tally in the second frame of the
battle. Christie was walked by Ma
son, the slab artist of the visitors,
and was sacrificed to second by
Gradoville. William Harvey Mason,
of the Sox, proceeded to register
Christie with a safe blow to left and
for the next few innings it seemed
as though this would be the winning
run of the game.
The work of the Sox in the open
ing innings was as good as has been
seen on the local diamond as they
made good on all chances and played
a fast and peppy game, but in the
blow up the battle became decidedly
one sided with the visitors hitting
effectively.
The Morris Packers are undoubt

has appeared here this season and
their lineup is composed of some of

One of the greatest attractions of
the camp is its unusual opportunities
for outdoor sports. Horseback rid
ing is one of the principal diversions,
an ! alT-day trips are planned for the
girls who enjoy this recreation. The
tennis players delight in a concrete
court in the center of a deep wood
of pines and aspens, where the
pleasant shade lingers all afternoon.
Mammoth pools, surrounded by the
wooded hills, find modern mermaids
splash. in g in their clear waters daily.
Indoor pools are also a feature of the
camp, and aquatic sports are enjoyed
even when the weather is inclement.
The cozy bungalow, the camp
home of the pupils, has a fireplace
built in one end of the large living
room, where a log fire crackles on
snappy nights. An outdoor fireplace
is an ideal place for the marshmellow
roasts, which are in 'full sway many
evenings.
Miss Pleasant Holyoke, an excep

STATE CORN IS SAFE,
SAYS THE BURLINGTON
Nebraska's corn is safe!
At least the Burlington's
weekly
bulletin says so published Monday
morning. With the comment that!
"the time is past when the crop
can he entirely spoiled, mis oune
tin gives the average as 100 per
cent for the eastern and southwest
ern districts and 98 per cent each
for the central and southeastern dis
tricts. The expert adds that these
estimates are highly conservative.
Threshing of wheat continues to
ard an early end and the average
j for most of the acreage of the state
lis 22 7, 10 bushels per acre, against
twentv-two bushels estimated
a weeK
ago. The wheat is of the
finest '
quality.
Difficulty is being experienced by
the sugar beet raisers in handling
their big crop this year, according to
the Burlington report, for the reason
that the Federal Reserve banks are
refusing money for it in the manner
previously done.
Fall plowing is well under way,
and the soil generally in good con
dition. In the Omaha district plow
ing is nearly completed.
