A very serious accident occurred yesterday morning shortly after 3 o'clock a few miles north of Weep ing Water when the Ford car driv en by E. V. Buck plunged from a small bridge to the creek some four teen feet below. The accident was caused by the fact that the electric lighting system of the car refused to work at the time the party was Hearing the bridge and when 150 feet from the bridge the lights went completely out and the car plunged on in the dark to crash over the bridge ap proach to the creek. Mr. Buck was accompanied by Rev. W. F. Haskins of the Methodist church of Weeping Water and his brother. Frank E. Haskins, farmer of Republican City, Nebraska, and the two passengers were being taken to Omaha, where they expected to catch a 6 o'clock train for Des Moines to attend a stock sale.

Mr. Buck was also seriously injured and was taken to his home, where he is now being cared for. The only one of the party not seriously injured was Rev. Has kins, and after ascertaining that his companions were not pinned teneath the car he hastened to a nearby farm house and procured aid for the two injured men. An auto passed over the bridge a very few minutes after the accident occurred, but the occupants of the car failed to hear the cries of the members of the wrecked party and it was necessary .to have a car sent out from Weeping Water to aid ths injured men.

LIVES SEPARATED ARE JOINED AGAIN M? rriage of John T. Sheffield and Mrs. Lillian Sheffield Closes Story of Trouble and Strife. Yesterday afternoon at the court hpuse occurred the marriage of John T. Sheffield, who has been confined here for the past few weeks as the result of a sentence for failing to pay the amount set by the court for the care of his minor children, and Mrs. Lillian Sheffield, his former wife, and who is now willing to once more take up the matrimonial life. Mrs. Sheffield secured a divorce in the district court here, several months ago and at the time the de cree was given, the defendant hus band was ordered to pay h certain sum each month for the care of the dependent children. This part of the decree was not carried out and some fe wweeks ago Mr. Sheffield was ar rested in Omaha and brought to this city by Sheriff Quinton and given a sentence of four years and three months in the county jail for his failure to comply with the require ments of the court. The parties in the case have medi tated over the matter and recogniz ing the fact that perhaps they had all been wrong in the matter, the husbnad and wife decided to once more try out. the game of wedded life and through the efforts of the county authorities the husband was reelased to be married and allowed to return to bi home to care for the family in the future and it is hoped that this second dip into matrimony will carry the parties into the safe harbor of domestic happiness.

Dangers of Travel by Night Are Made More Serious The reports from several points ov er the state tell of the accidents that have occurred in recent weeks caused by the reckless use of the bright lights on automobile and flag rant disregard of the law and the rules of the road that rei'tire the driver of a car provided- with the glaring lights to dim their lamas when another car is approaching. It is merely a matter of curtesy for the driver of a machine to lower the power of his lights when another car is approaching as it is a matter of safety to both of the drivers and does not in the least inconvenience Hie driving of the car. When approaching a car with a bright and glaring light it is almost impossible to see the roadway and a large majority of the accidents are caused from this fact. On Monday a severe accident occurred, at Geneva where a car ran into the ditch be cause the driver of the auto had been deflected from the roadway by the glaring lights of a machine that was coming from the opposite direction, shining in his eyes and preventing the guiding of the car. The law covering the use of the glaring lights is quite plain and those who persist in using them should be forced to provide them selves with lights that comply with the regulations. The use of the lights at the proper time is not so dangerous, but in the hands of the reckless driver who has no regard for the life and safety of their fellow man they are a deadly danger and should bo nipped in the bud. Now is the time to get busy with the suppression of the reckless use of the glaring lights and not wait until a serious accident has brought death to someone in the community as the result of a car going into the ditch or being wrecked. The auto owners and drivers should co operate in seeing that the bright lights are tabooed.
