MANY ENJOY MOTOEOTG
From Monday Daily
The pleasant summer like day yes
terday drew out a large number of
the auto owners with their families
and friends to spend the day driv
ing over the country and on into Om
aha and the roads were filled with
cars the greater part of the time as It
was the first really pleasant Sunday
for some weeks that wonld permit
any extensive traveling.
STILL ABOUT THE SAME
From Monday's Iany.
The condition of Mrs. Albert Funk
at the Lord Lister hospital in Omaha
is reported as about the same as it
I has been, although Mrs. Funk was
.operated on Friday in the hope of giv-
Waverly two weeks ago and her fam
ily as well as the attending physi
cians have been very much worried
over the case and it was finally de
cided that an operation on the por
tion of the head which was injured
would be necessary. She is still in
a very serious shape, but seems some
brighter than she had been prior to
the operation.

UP FROM MISSOURI
RIVER SATURDAY
Claude Eichardson Captures Body of
Drowned Man Floating m the
Waters of Big Muddy
Saturday evening about 7: SO as
Claude Richardson was bringing the
ferry boat across the Missouri river,
he was startled when in the middle
of the river, to see the body of a
man floating down the center of the
stream and at once Mr. Richardson,
taking a row boat, put out after the
body and brought it into the Nebras
ka bank of the river, where it was
held pending the action of the au
thorities. The man had been in the
water for at least ten days or two
weeks and was in a very bad state of
decomposition at the time he was
found.
The body was apparently that of
a man between thirty-five and forty
years of age, and of a rather robust
! !? " , j?
uiiu j t v i cw to. ins a l ljci i a. u v c v as
hard to fix as he had been in the
water so long that his hair was about
the only point that could be used in
identification a he had no papers or
anything that might give a clue to
his identity on his person.
It was thought at first that he
might be one of the two men who had
been drowned while working for the
"Woods Brothers eompany. on their
riprapping work near Bellevue, but
the superintendent and one of the
men employed there, who were brot
here by Sheriff Quinton and County
Attorney Cole failed to identify the
man as one of their employes.
The body was taken to the Sat
tler undertaking rooms to be pre
pared for burial and his identity will
be ay matter of conjecture.

to the year of school activities.

THOUGHT IT WAS EEOWK
From TuesGays Dally.
This afternoon the passengers on
Burlington train No. 24, from Om
aha to this city, were treated to a
) thrill that comes only once in a life
time, when it was rumored that
"Brown" the much songht after and
little known of Omaha kidnapper,
was sitting in the smoking car of the
train1. The man in question got on
the train at Bellevue and did not
purchase a ticket at the station as
is the rule, but insisted on paying a
cash fare to Pacific Junction and al
so stated that he intended to go from
the Junction to St. Joseph, Mo. How
ever, after a general conference it
was decided that the man was prob
ably some honest son of toil irom

its brightness, the long and cool in
viting grass, the bright flowers, the
soft and inviting streams and the
Ion gdays of play of the "vacation

of boys wending their way rirerward
with fishing tackle and the siyslic
signal that means "swimfn " are
more noticeable and to the lads of
the community the good old summer
time holds treasures that many a
worn and harassed man of affairs
would give the world to possess once
more, but this is the kingdom of the
young alone and within its portals
there is no room for those who have
passed beyond their youthful golden
dreams.
