From Monday's l'ailj.

Fart of the first contest was pitch ed by Stimpson. former Plattsmouth sandlotter who migrated to South Dakota early this season, but was re leased several weeks ago.

NARROWNESS OF ROAD CAUSE OF COLLISION CARS OF CARL OHLSCHLAGER AND W. F. NOLTING COME TOGGETHER SUNDAY. BOTH GARS BADLY WRECKED Inability to See Narrow Place Bottom of Hill Responsible No One Injured. at From Monday's Dally. Yesterday morning while Carl Ohlschlager, make-up man in the Journal composing rooms, while out riding in his Cadillac roadster, ac companied by a Mr. Henderson, met with an accident ut the foot of the hill just west of the L. L. Wiles farm, which although it was the cause of damaging two perfectly good cars, was lucky inasmuch as it was not attendant by loss of life or per sonal injuries. Mr. Ohlschlager and companion had been viewing the country and were driving at a moderate rate of speed, and as they were descending the hill, hidden from vision by the overhanging branches of trees along the roadway, a culvert and narrow place in the road could not be seen until they were right up to it. It so happened that at the same time, coming" from the east was the car of W. F. Nolting, occupied by himself and family. When the drivers were able to get an unobstructed view of the road and note its impassibility, the cars were but a short distance apart and to stop short fit a collision was im possible. On the other hand, the narrowness of Ihe highway precluded possibility of passing without one or the other of the cars going into the deep ditch. The lesser danger seem ed to be in a headon collission, and although the brakes were used effec tively the cars came together with considerable impact. Doth cars were large ones, the one driven by Mr. Ohlschlager being a Cadillac roadster and that of Mr. Nolting a Willys-Knight. The cars were both badly wrecked and will require the expenditure of many dol lars to place them in serviceable condition again. Had either or both drivers been traveling at a high rate of speed, the inevitable result would have been a terrific pile-up, result ing undoubtedly in loss of life, and in view of the circumstances the occupants of both machines can con sider themselves lucky in this re spect. It looks as though there might be a damage claim filed against the county for recovery for permitting such a place to remain in the public highway. The losers in this accident both feel that they were in no way to blame for the collision and attend ant losses which they sustained. The cars have been taken to the garage tor repairs, out just wnat steps will be taken in this direction has not been determined.

Mr. Burton while in ex treme pain crawled out of the hole and dragged himself out of the eleva tor, so that his cries for assistance could be heard. Mr. C. J.
