LIGHTS ON THE BUM.

The old question. "Where Was

the city who were arising this morn
ing between the hours of f and 7
o'clock as the electric lights were
cut all over the city at this time
:d as misfortune would have it. this

lights were out of commission. Man

WINS OVER THE
DEAF SCHOOL
TWO VERY FAST GAMES WON EY
SCHOOL TEAMS SATURDAY
EVENING.
High School Wins From Sshool for
the Deaf, While the 8th Grade
Wins from Springfield.
The basket ball game held here
Saturday evening at the high school
"g m" proved to be victorious for
the two teams representing this city
and both games were won by de
cisive scores that left no room for
doubt as to the superiority of the lo
cals over their opponents.
The preliminary game was between
the Springfield school and the Mh
grade team of the Plattsmouth
schools and the Sth graders proceed
ed to wipe up the landscape with the
visitors by the score of L'S to 8. The
visitors indicated in their playing
lack of practice and were alsc evi
dently familiar with playing on as
large a court as that of the local
high school.' For the 8th graders
Carl Ofe was very effective in se
curing baskets.
The main event of the evening was
Uie gpme between the team of the
School bf the Deaf of Omaha and the
Plattsmouth high school team and
in this the state students were burn-
bled by the score of to 14. For
the deaf school. Petersen, the nuar
terback. was the bright particular
star and practically all the plays of
advaniage made by his team was ac
quired through his skill and clever
ness. For the locals. McCarthy wa
in h's usual class and made many
brilliant plays and baskets for his
team.
This is to be a busy week for the
Plattsmouth basket bail team as their
.schedule call1 for three games, and
with the strongest teams they will
have to meet this season. Tuesday
evening the Omaha Commerce high
school will be here to do battle and
this team brings with-them fome of
the most experienced and classy
players in the state. .On Friday the
team is scheduled to meet Have
lcck in this city and on Saturday
evening the South Omaha high
school team will be here to mix it
up with the locals. It is possible
that the Havelock game may be call
ed off. but the game with the Com
m?rcial High is assured of being one
of the fastest that will be seen on
. i T i ti.:
FIRE TRUCK AT CITY HALL
The chemical fire truck of the city
which has been kept in several of the
garages of the city since its arrival
here, is in the future to be kept at the
fire station in the city hall, where it
can be of access at all times and not
interfered with the business of the
garages where it might be stored.
One of the chief reasons for not put
ting the truck in the city hall at the
time of it? arrival was the fear that
the heat at that place was not suffi
cient to keep it in the proper condi
tion for instant use. but the fire
and water committee have arranged
whereby a lire will be kept in the
city hall during the winter months
and which insures the truck being
ready for instant service. The mem
bers of the polic force will see that
the fire is kept going both day and
night and the truck kept at the pro
per temperature for use at an instant
not ice.

time past, and so she was removed o

1 Lut Little DanHge Dene.
While at Union the last of the
week, Sheriff C. D. Quinton had his
auto damaged to st.me extent as the
result of a collision with a car driv
en by a stranger. It seems that the
stranger was traveling through Un
ion and was attempting to make the
steep hill that forms the main street
of the village ard as he made the
crossing about half way up the hill
his machine refused to produce the
power to carry it on t;p the hill and
he decided to back down and take a
run for the hillside. In the mean
time the sheriff had driven up and
had his car standing near the bank
building on the south side of the
street and was engaged in conversa
tion with one of his friends, and as
the stranger hacked his car down
he came at a very good rate of speed
and before either the sheriff or the
driver of the other car realired it, the
two cars had met and the fender of
the Quinton car was badly damaged.
The stranger recognized his fault in
the matter and had the ear of the
sheriff repaired at the Willis garage
and then departed on his way rejoic
ing. FIXING UP STORE.
