her pleasing voice and personality.
was verv good in her di'hcult rok
ad made the a-.jdience feel m:i:h

The automobile accident that oc
curred near Weeping V.'atei early last
ricnduy morning in which Rev. W.
Ii. Ha?kiiia'fcnd E. p. iS-fck of'Weep-

jlspubi'.cpii C:ty were injured, has
icsulted in the death "of Frank. Has-
l.ins. who jws'e! away at the hospital j
m 1 i'icoin Wednesday.
The three m?a were driving to
Omaha to catch an early morning
rain-for Des Moitiois, where Frank
IJa.-kins was to attend a big cattle!
The acrilcnt was caused pri
marily by the fact that the electric
lights on the car winked out just a
few -moments before the car reached
the bridge, where the accident oc
curred was reached, but the fact that
it was one of the "crooked" bridges
that are si ill to he found frequently,
contributed to the fact that the car
left the road...y in the dark and
plunged over the embankment to
the creek bed fourteen feet below.
The car in its plunge snapped off a
good sized tree and was turned com
p.le'ely around by the force of the
impact. The three men kept their
places in the car and were net
thrown out or pinned under the car.
Rev. Ilaskins. who was the less ser
iously injured of the three men made
his way. to the Louis Ehlers farm
near where the accident occurred and
-ecured help but by only the most
uM'per-human effort as he collapsed
after securing the aid for his brohter
and Mr. Buck. Frank Haskins was
fund suffering from six broken ribs,
one lung punctured and a large blood
-lot formed in the side. Mr. Buck

n serious condition, while Mr. lias
kins passed away .Wednesday. In
speaking of the accident the Weep
ing Water Republican has the fol

"Not in many months has there
come to the people ;f the community
such a shock as results from this ter
rible catastrophe with its fatal out
enie. Tho deceased. Mr. Ha.-kins
was a man forty-three years cjf age.
and wj s an - esteemed citizen and
successful farmer and stockman of
ih'ilar county. He had stopped oft
at Weeping Water on his way to Des
Moines to atferd the show and sale
f the Iowa Sliirthorn Breeders' as
oei.itic.n. Wishing for the compan
ionship of his brother and also his
i idgment and help in making selec
i:o:i of animals he intended to buy to
add to his herd, lie had prevailed up
1 Rev. Haskins tJ accompany him.
As the show was t- taks place Mon
day it wan lu-cessrrry to catch the
' cclock train out of Omaha. Mr.
Thick had been planning a trip to
Omaha fcr the tame day and the con
venient arrangement of his starting
crly enough to meet that train, had
been made.
"As a commentary it i? to be noted
that by a 'juecr turn of fate the trip
was undertaken really in opposition
to the better judgment of the party,
with regard to the weather that seem
ed t ) be brooding a storm when they
f:; t arouse at 2:0 t- prepare for
the trip. The Haskins brothers were
e. pec ially reluctant to get Mr. Buck
ot-t into a storm that might tie him
up with his car. Even as they reach
ed the top of the hill opposite the
Killers home and got a better idea of
what t he weather might " be, they
montioned turning back, but Mr.
Buck expressed no fears of weather
trouble and they continued their
journey that fate seemed to have tak
en a hand in.
"The remains of Frank E. Haskin
were taken to Republican City Wed
nc.suay. i)?ceased is survived by a
wife and two daughters, the eldest
of whom is married.
"Rev. W. F. Haskins was able to
make the trip to Republican City
with the remains, going to Lincoln
ea.ly Wednesday morning and there
jc.ning the relatives who had been
ca'iea irom Republican Citv imme
diately after the accident occurred
"In regard to the condition of Mr.
Buck, the latest word this Thursday
morning is that his injuries are very
very serious, but that he shows slight
improvement this mornnig. The
i'3!nily have the sympathy of the com
munity and it is hoped Mr. Buck may
continue to show improvenet."

was pitted against the fast Central

a feeling of .gloom as the Merrick
county aggregation was able to pull
through winners by the score of 14
to 12, in one of the closest and best
games seen in any of the contests
p'ayed in the state tournament.
The Central City team had the
bj?t of the game from the start and
at the close of the first half the
score was 9 to 4 in their favor. The
Plattsmouth team then proceeded to
limber up and go after their oppon
ents, but without success as the
final score indicated. For Platts

successful game in securing goals,
as four field goals were checked to

new management of which Messrs
Cloidt & Moore of the Parmele theater
will have charge. .
This theater has had a variety of
titles since its establishment by R. M.

known as the Gem for several years

In the change in management of
the theater, Charles Petersen, who
has been in charge there since the
sale of the theater by Mr. Sharles

accommodating manager of the thea

secure the best possible attractions
for his patrons, and his retirement
will be much regretted by his friends.
The years that he' has spent in the
picture show business has been so
pleasant that he expects to continue
in this line of work although he has
not as yet determined on his future
location.
