HAS BAD FALL
From Monday' Pally.
Yesterday. John Waterman, one of
the old and highly respected resi
dents of the city suffered a very ser
ious fall at his home in the north
part of the city and which for a
time caused a great deal of appre
hension to the members of the fam
ily. Mr. Waterman had stepped out
on the rear porch of his home and
was carrying an earthenware cuspi
dor "in his hand and as he started to
descend the steps he fell, the cuspi
dor breaking and the aged gentle
man fell on the jagged fragments of
the broken china, with the result
that a large gash was cut on the
side of his head.-
The cut bled very profusely and
caused the family a great deal of
apprehension for a time, but the ar
rival of the family physician to dress
the wound eased their fears at is was
found the injury was merely a flesh
wound. Owing to t.he advanced year:;
of Mr. Waterman the injury was at
first feared to be very serious, but he
is now resting easily.

of Sherman Taylor Meet on
Hill West of There.
The hill just west of the town

was l be scene of what might have;
been a very serious accident Satur-I
dav evening for the occupants of.
two autos that met there in a head-
in collision, but which while result-;

The Paige car of Sherman Taylor'

the car were Mr. and Mrs. T.lylor.

McMaken and children of this city.
Just as the car of Mr. Taylor came
over the hill on the west approach
the large Yelie car driven by Charles
Herren. of near Murray came over
the hill from the east and the light
of the two cars made it difficult
for j
the drivers to distinguish the road,
and although the car of Mr. Taylor
crowded the south fide of the road
as much as possible, the two ma-
(chines era: bed into each other and
'the front wheels that came together
were both torn off. the fenders be
ing badly bent and other serious
damage done the autos.
The occupants of the cars were
all shaken up and badly bruised but
I no injury of a serious nature sus
tained, which is most lortunate as
the accident was of the kind that
might easily have caused injuries to
every member of the party or even
death.

tended that the plaiMliT had an ade

from the Platte and Missouri rivers
and in that year the plaintiff had
caused the land to be cleared off and
fenced, plowed and crops raised and
in 1913 had caused the land to be
platted and placed on the tax list

From Tuesdays Dally.
A message was received from the
Immanuel hospital in Omaha this
morning announcing that former Dis
trict Judge Basil S. Ramsey, of this
city, who is at the hospital taking
treatment, was very much worse.
The condition of Judge Ramsey
has been very serious sir.te he was
first s-tricken in the first days of July
and he gradually grew weaker so it
was deemed best to have him taken
to the Immanuel hospital for treat
ment in the hope that he might be
strengthened but without avail as he
has suffered a great deal during the
warm weather and showed no im-
provement that
ily the smallest
would give the fam
hope of his recovery.
The news of
the serious condition
of Mr. Ramsey
gretted by the
will be greatly re
host of friends over
Cass county and these friends will
anxiously await word from his bed
side, trusting that he may be able
to rally, but

WITHOUT THE LAW
From Tuesdays Dally.
This mornii. C. M. Clark giving
his home as the gate city of the west,
eitherwise known a Omaha, was in
the court of Judge Allen J. Beeson
as the result of having gotten him
self in the meshes of the law of the
stflfe. It seems from the evidence un
earthed at the trial that Mr. Clark
had journeyed down from Omaha and
was visiting with some friends up
along the Platte river and also had
n t oard a large carfro of dago red
or some other spirit ef high power
and which led to Sheriff C. I). Quin
ton being notified of the affair. The
herift hastened nut to the scene ef
action and brought the gentleman in
and as the result Mr. Clark was
Tpp?rafed from 'a for the fine and
cost? for being in a state of intoxi
cation ?ontrary to the peace and
dignity of the state of Nebraska.
The amount was paid and the gentle
man released and allowed to go on
homeward.
