MEN IN SERIOUS
AUTO ACCIDENT
CHARLES C. PARMELE AND JA
COB P. FALTER INJURED
LN . COLLISSION.
From Monday's Daily
A very serious accident occurred
Saturday evening near Avery, at the
outskirts of South Omaha, when the
Buick roadster in which Charles C.
Parmele, J. P. Falter and Pollock
Parmele were riding was struck by a
large truck and the auto almost de
molished. The automobile was returning to
Plattsmouth and Pollock Parmele
was driving the car as it sped out of
South Omaha, on the way home, ana
Just as the car was clearing the in
tersection at Avery a large heavy
truck came down the hill from the
east and traveling at a good rate of
speed. The truck struck there3r of
the car in which the three men were
riding and the force of the impact
hurled the car some distance, over
turning it and making a complete
wreck of the car. The occupants of
the car were bady shaken up and it
was some time after they were res
cued by persons who saw the acci
dent, that they fully realized the real
seriousness of their plight.
Mr. Parmele was found to be bleed
ing profusely from a cut on the fore
head and suffering more or less pain
as was also Mr. Falter, altho at that
time it was not thought that Mr.
Falter had sustained real serious
damage. The injured men were taken
on into Omaha and taken to the
Clarkson hospital where an examin
ation disclosed the fact that Mr. Fal
ter had three fractured ribs and Mr.
Parmele one. The cut on the fore
head of Mr. Parmele required seven
teen stitches to close and the twe
men were kept at the hospital as
they were suffering a great deal of
pain from the injuries as well as the
nervous Ehoek that the accident had
caused. Pollock Parmele escaped the
accident without serious Injury aside
from the severe shaking, up.
A call to the O. K. garaee here
sent a truck to Avery to bring the
car or rather what was left of the
machine, buck to this city. The auto
wa3 in very bad shape, both hind
wheels being broken and the whole
of the rear of the car was badly
damaged and will require a great
deal of work to put back in shape so
that It can be used.
While the accident proved serious
proME'h It wa fortunate that It did
not renlt in the death of the occu
r;iTij of the car and thev can well
frel thnVfl for the narrow esrane
f-om death or permanent Injury in
the accident. (
The r'aco where the acoident oc
curred has been the scene of a num
ber of mall auto a'derts and is
one of the most dangerous places on
the Omaha highway.

RECALLS THE
STORY OF ONCE
LIVE VILLAGE
OLD LOG RESIDENCE DESTROYED
BY FIRE PALATLAL HOME
OF PIONEER TOWN.
On last Thursday night near the
midnight hour, M. L. Furlong, one
of the old residents of Rock Bluffs,
was attracted by the bright glow In
the sky and on investigation found
that the log house that was formerly
owned by Mrs. Mary Welsh and
which is now the property of her
son, Charles Lambert, was burning
and as there was no means at hand
to check the blaze, the structure
was completely destroyed.
The building was one of the land
marks of tho time when Rock Bluffs
marked the site of one of the livest
of the towns along the Missouri river,
west of St. Joseph, then the chief
outfitting point of the west, and the
structure was closely connected with
the romatic story of the vanished
past, and stood during all these years
as a lone surviving landmark in the
destruction of one of Nebraska's
early settlements.
It was iq the year 1860 that this
house was built by Robert Stafford,
one of the hardy pioneers of the
west and the residence which was of
logs was placed near a twin log house
built by Benedict Spiers in 1855 and
which was one of the first In that
locality. At the time it was built
the residence of Mr. Stafford was
considered a very luxurious one for
the frontier and had a second story
addition as well as a heavy rock
foundation which has endured in fine
rhppe the ravages of the years.
In 18 63 Mr. Stafford sold the home
to James M. Patterson, then the
leading business man of the commun
ity and a son of Thomas Patterson,
on 3 of the earliest residents of Rock
Bluffs. Mr. J. M. Patterson at this
time was engaged in partnership with
his brother, Ambrose Patterson, in
the general merchandise business
and In the communityof 450 people,
as well as a vast "territory to the
west, found a great commercial op
portunity. Later Ambrose Patterson
-otrpd from the- firm and Jrmes A.
Walker, a cousin of the Pattersons,
secured an interest in the firm which
he retained for many years and un
til the removal of Mr. Patterson to
Plattsmouth in 1874 the business of
this company was flourishing, but
at that time the partners closed out
r.nd engaged in other pursuits.
It was near this time that the de
cadence of Rock Bluffs was started,
aa the building west of the Burling
ton railroad brought Plattsmouth to
the front as the leading town of the
frontier and the river traffic that
had been so important to Rock Bluffs,
began to dwindle to almost nothing
and in spite of the efforts of a num
ber of the old residents, the city lost
its position and gradually ceased to
function as a commercial point, al
though for a great many years a
rtore was maintained there by the
Shera family.
In all of these yenr3 this old house,
peopled with memories of the past,
lias stood near the scenes that once
were filled with life and activity and
now are only fields of waving corn,
with an occasional home to break the
quietude cf the countryside, and in
these years a number of persons have
owned the property, but it has in late
years been the property of Mrs. Mary
Welsh, who at her death gave it to
her son, Charles Lambert and it has
been for the past few years the
place of residence of members of the
Lambert family. Charles Lambert,
the present owner of the place, has
been working at the Robert Shrader
home and did not know of the fire
until notified by Mr. Furlong.
County Surveyor Fred Patterson, a
son of Thomas Patterson, well re
calls many of the incidents connected
with the story of the "old house"
now reduced to ashes.

WEDDED BLISS TURNS
TO BITTER WARFARE
DivorCe Suit, in Omaha Involves
Well Known Casa County Peo

Fro.ii Monday's Dally.
A few short weeks ago the mar
riage of Miss Katherine Tyler, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mr. Sidney Tyler,
formerly of this city, and Mr. Roy
Steinkamp occurred at the homo of
the bride's parents in Omaha, but
the dream of domestic happlnras and
bliss was short lived. Judging from
the following taken from the Om
aha World-Herald of yesterday:
Anger, arounsed when his daughter-in-law
baked a cake for a Thanks
giving festival to be held at a the
Methodist church at Weeping Water.
Neb., resulted disastrously for Adolph
Steinkamp wealthy farmer of near
Manley. He went out to the barn and
pulled the mule's tail, Katherine
Steinkamp, 1. wife of Roy Stein
kamp, states in an amended petition
for separate maintenance filed yes
terday in district court.
The mule kicked Steinkamp.
"The Lord punishes those who arc
wicked," Mrs. Steinkamp said to her
husband, Roy. Thereupon, Roy
swore and cursed the Lord, he al
leges. Mrs. Steinkamp also alleges her
father-in-law gave her Just 25 cent
more than enough to get back to
Omaha, where he told her to go to
live with her parents.
She claims she was forced to go
out Into the cornfield and husk orn,
that her hands were badly cut and
torn by the rough stalks. She states
she had only bread and coffee to cat
and was denied fruits and other deli
cacies to which she had been accus
tomed. The trouble began, according to
Rors Shotwell, counsel for Mrs.
Steinkamp, when the elder Stein
kamp learned that his son and diueh-ter-in-law
had spent $141 for gro
ceries, clothing, etc., during the two
months they wero married.
Adolph Steinkamp then Interfered
with .toa tranquility of the newly
vwtiis'" home. He objocted strongly
to Roy's wife wearing or buy ing silk.,
ertfwrkitig- He objected to her alleged
extravagance in buying what he call
ed luxuries. He Insisted that there
after they were to eat bread, pork
and coffee. Mrs. Steinkamp states in
her petition that she became 111 from
eating too much pork.
Prior to Roy's marriage, his fath
er told her, Roy never spent more
than $30 a month, she maintains.
In affidavits filed In district court
Fridav by counsel for the defendants.
Mrs. Steinkamp Is charged with fail
ure to properly conduct the house

cook Roy's meal;, forcing Royh to
nrepare his own, all of which Mrs.
Steinkamp denies.
She also denies that she was con
tinually going to amusemrnts a3
