EAGLES WIN GAME
FROM MURDOCK TEAM
By Score of 6 to 0 the Plattsmouth :
Organization Cleans Up the
Fast West Side Team.
From Mopday'n Dally.
Yesterday afternoon there was a
very pleasing cto.mI of baseball fans
out at the Eagle park to see the
team of Manager William Barclay
do business with the team represent
ing M unlock and a very interesting
game was staged as the visitors have
one of the fastest tennis in the coun
ty and their pitcher was in the best
of shape and threw a much better
game than the score indicates as
costly errors on the part of the Mur-j
lock infield allowed three of the runs
that the locals acquired. j
Mason did the tossing for Platts
mouth in the first six innings of the
game and was relieved by' Connors
in the seventh frame, both of the
slab artists playing good ball and re
ceiving excellent support. The work
of Harry Newman at second base for,
the locals was one of the features of
the game as he fielded like a house
afire ami secured three clean hits off
of Lawrence, pitcher of the Munlock
team, one being for three bags'
George Nelson also showed some
very clever stick work uring the
game and divided honors in this de
partment of the game with Newman.
The Eagles scored three runs in
the third inning, and added another
tally in the fourth when the .Mur-
dock infield became excited and made
a number of very costly errors. The
seventy and eighth innings also ad
ded two more runs to the score of
tlie locals.
The M unlock team, aside from one
bad inning. played good ball and
nave an excellent team that should;
grow better as the season progresses!
and they secure more practice and
will be hard contenders for any.
team that they play.

time, which was granted.
A communication was also receiv
ed from John Zatopka. in which he
stated that he had a horse injured
some time ago bv stepping through
n u-noilpn fMilvert in thp west nnr- '
tion of the city and which had made
necessary the employment of u vet
erinarian at a cost of $50 and for
which he asked that he be reimburs-
ed. This was
attorney and
referred to the city
judiciary committee
lor action.
Councilman Ptacek of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee report
ed that his committee had tried out
the Fordson tractor but was not in
a position to report on the same as
the members were not convinced this
tractor could haul the graders over
the hills, although it had done ex
cellent work in dragging, and there
fore thev would make no recommen
dations as to the purchase of the'
tractor at this time.
The streets, alleys and bridges
committee also reported favorably on
a number of sidewalk
and others were referred
resolutions
to the city
engineer as they wouKl require more
filling and grading.
Councilman Schulhof. of the light
ing committee, reported favorably on
the matter of a light at Elm street
near the Missouri Pacific depot and
on motion this was ordered installed
at okce.
Councilman Bestor asked that the
light company be requested to fix a
guy wire at Fourth and Vine street
and which was ordered carried out.
Councilman Lindeman of the sec
ond ward asked that an old well on
the city property on Washington
avenue be filled up and made safe
for the public as it was located on
a part of the public highway.
Councilman Brittain stated that a
portion of the highway near the M
portion of the highway near the
Manspeaker property in the Fourth
ward had been fenced up and that
even the highway had been plowed
up and he desired the chief of police
and the street commissioner be re
quested to go to the scene of action
and cause the work to cease and tliis
was so ordered.
Councilman Brittain also stated
that Mr. Baird had agreed to let the
city have a car load of cinders for
use in street work and thse were
now available and he moved that the
city accept same, which was ordered
by the council. Councilman Ptacek
thought that some of these cinders
could be used to good effect on the
subway, but Councilman McCarthy
informed the council that John Rich
ardson had fixed up the subway in a
very good way to handle all the flood
water that might accumulate there.
The matter of the division of lots
in the cemetery to handle the in
creasing demand for lots and which
threatens to make it necessary in a
very short time to purchase addi
tional land for this purpose, was
brought up by Councilman Brittain.
It was the idea of Mr. Brittain hat
eight lots in the cemetery be divided
into quarter and half lots. It was
finally decided to leave the matter
in the hands of the cemetery com
mittee totake such action as they
might see fit in the matter.
Councilman Ptacek took up the
matter of permanent street improve
ment and pointed out that tthe city
had created a number of paving dis
tricts last year but that none of
these had been completed and he
thought that it would be well to try
and. accomplish even a small part of
the -program each year, if , necessary,
suggesting high school hill, the block
between Main and Vine streets on
Seventh and the block on Vine be
tween Third and Fourth streets as
the possible scenes of the first work.
The cost oX material had declined a
great deal, Mr. Ptacek stated and it
was worth while looking into.
The question of the paving of
Main street was suggested by Coun
cilman Howe of the third ward, but
Mr. Ptacek stated that the work
there was so extensive and that no
petition had ever been presented
from the residents along the street,
who would have lo bear the cost of
the work and that until a petition
was presented there would be noth
ing doing.
Councilman McCarthy suggested bv
way of a change in
that someone should
assist in enforcing the dog license
ordinance as there had been only
twenty tags sold so far and the city
had in the neighborhood of f rora
500 to l.ooo dogs and there should
be more doing in the way of issuing
tags. It was finally decided to give
the city clerk power to appoint an
assistant if necessary to go over the
city and see why the tax had not
been paid. j
On motion of Councilman Bestor, j
the Chief of Police was authorized to',
mark oft parking spaces on Main !
street of the city and seo that they!
are complied with "in the future. i
There being no decision on

Last night shortly after the mid
night hour. Mrs. Fred Heinrich. Sr.,
! one of the old and highly respected
J residents of this city. v.ms called
home to her final reward following
! an illness covering a period of sever
j al days when she was stricken with
a severe attack of heart trouble. Dur
' ing the hours when the sands of life
j were fast sifting awry the aged
mother was watched iAui tended with
I gentle care by the members of the
family, but their ministrations were
of no avail as the patient gradually
'sank into the sleep that knows no
awakening.
J Mrs. Heinrich was seventy-four
years of age and was born in Ger
many, where she spem her girlhood
days, coming to America when still
in her youth and settled first at St.
Jacobs. Illinois, where she made her
home for a number of years and
married in that place to Philip Zuck
weiler. and on the death of the hus
band a few years later she was mar
ried to Fred Heinrich. The family
came to Plattsmouth some thirty
eight years asro and have since
made their home here, where they
have won for themselves a large cir
cle of warm friends.
I To mourn the passing of this
splendid lady there remain the aged
husband and the following child
ren: Henry Zuckweiler, Miller. S.
-Dak.; Joseph Zuckweiler. St. Jacobs,
HI. ; .Mrs. E. P. I.mz, Plattsmouth;
Robert Heinrich. Akron. Colorado;
Fred Heinrich. Jr., Havelock; Mrs.
L. D. Hiatt. Murray: W. L. Hein
rich, Plattsmouth and one step
daughter, Mrs. John Kopp, of this
city.
The funeral or Mrs. Heinrich will
be held at 2 o'clock Wednesday af-
iternocn - at St. Paul's Evangelical
church of which the departed lady
had been a very devout member for
a number of years.
In the loss that lias come to the
family circle they will receive the
deep sympathy of the entire com
munity in the taking away of the
faithful and loving wife and mother
and devoted Christian friend. To the
family her life will remain as a
, beautiful golden memory of devoted
love and service and one that in its
( Christian fortitude will be a worthy
I example and precept for them in the
.years that are to come.

chairs of white enamel placed as well
, as a fine mirror and base that is very
j attractive and the mirror formerly in
use has been placed on the west wall

Bluffs by the score of 5 to 3. The

city "and the game was not called
until 4:30.-Vit the locals soon made
up for the tiilay by going after the
YisflOrs. McCarthy did the tossing
for Plattsmouth and was in his usual
pleasing form and kept the Iowa
players guessing.
The Plattsmouth team has won
five and lost two games this season,
having lost one to the Creighton high
of Omaha and one to Glenwood al
though in the Glenwood case it was
a fifty-fifty split as the Glenwood
team was defeated when they played
