NO. 93 LOCAL BALL TOSS ERS GRAB OFF ONE Merchants Win From Ramblers by Score of 6 to 2 in a Long Baseball Session. From Monday's Dany. Yesterday afternoon the Mer chants of this city copped the hon ors in a two hour struggle on the local lot from the Ramblers, reput ed as one of the fastest young teams of Omaha, by the score of 6 to 2. f The attendance at the game was j only fair as the good roads and the lures of the summer had evidently j proved too great tor tne ians ana drew them away from the exhibi tion of the national pastime. For the locals William Harvey Ma son was the selection for the box and was in the best of form with ten strike outs to his credit and was touched for only three hits, one of which was for a century, Shanahan, the sturdy young lad who was ramb ling around first sack for the Ramb lers, touched one of Eill's slow ones in the third inning for a drive over the right field fence but the hit did little damage as there was no one on base and only one run registered. Simpson, who did the tossing for the visitors has a reputation for his ovH c o iQ, irtkt Y.Mf TL-hirh excellence as a slab artist but which was badly dented after the close of the fray yesterday and while allow ing only three hits, he allowed a number of passes and a so added to iiitr iuuiumuu wiiii x .luujj. ui a grounder of Newman in the fifth. For the visitors Goggemoss, in the Tn n.horu-ir.iroh bright spot in their otherwise drab and listless playing, as this boy was able to snag eight long drives out in his locality that seemed certain for hits for the locals. The scoring in the game opened as soon as the locals took up the stick in the opening round and Pete Simpson and took his station at the initial bag and sacrificed by O'Don nell to second and was on his way to third when Harry Newman hit to shortstop with a hot grounder that the fielder attempted to throw out Herold with at the third sack but Lang and Pete regi reached second safely and was fol lowed by Shepherd who was "robbed of a good hit by Goggemoss in cen t" Vrrtrw ,Tt " T.f, and the ball was dropped by Nogard and "Hons- scored; Grometer closed the inning with a pop up to the catcher. Again in the fourth the Wolff eg-j gregation got busy in the run get- ting line and registered two more scores; Shepherd hit one so hard to center that the alert fielder could not handle it and roosted safe on first when the Emoke rolled away; Mc Carthy sacrificed him to second and was followed by Grometer, who was safe on an infield ball and on which QinHr ci-rr cil (1 rr mttpr crnrpd vhpn Connors rapped a safe one to left garden. During thi3 inning the visi tors pulled oS a number of wild throvrs that practically threw away the game for their team and added to the general confusion. Herold and O'Donnell were able to register in the fifth frame, Pete get ting on through the error of Kra lieck at second and O'Donnell walk ed; Newman rapped a hot to Simp son that he failed to handle and in the resultant mixup Pete registered and when Connors hit to left, Wil liam Patrick scored. With the home run of Shanahan In the third the visitors put one over In the sixth when Newman failed to handle the grounder of Vogel and allowing the runner first and on the hit of Goggemoss he scored.

PARMELE CASE TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT The preliminary hearing in the Parmele case was completed Satur day afternoon when the last of the evidence was offered by the State of Nebraska, and the case submitted without argument to Judge William Deles Dernier. - The defense offered a motion to strike out two of the counts in the complaint, one for the sum of $8,000 'and one for $4,000 for which the de i fendant was not responsible, under the testimony offered, the defendant's attorney contended, and which they asked the court to dismiss. The matter was taken under ad visement by the court and a decision promised by Wednesday or Thursday of this week. In the event of the court holding for the etate, the mat ter will be appealed to the district court as Mr. Parmele had entered a plea of not guilty to the charges of illegal borrowing of the bank funds, which were preferred against him. Although Journal want-ads coat out little the results they bring are ircvderfuL Try them. SPEEDERS GET INTO HANDS OF THE LAW South Omaha Joy Riders Draw Down Wrath of the Law Early San- day Morning for Racing. At a very early hour Sunday morn ing when the residents of the city were full in the enjoj-ment of their slumbers and resting nicely, a party of speeders from the south portion r: ' J, S . . visited the city and proceeded to at- tempt to turn the rough and rocky paving of Main street into a resemb- lance to the Ak-Sar-Ben race track, and with the result that Chief of; Police Barclay proceeded to visit on the two cars of the young men the wrath of the law and caused them to part with numerous dollars of the coin of the realm for their violation of the driving ordinances of the city. The young men made a settlement that would cover their fine and costs for the offense and after spending a short time in custody proceeded on their way rejoicing that their pen alty had been no more severe. The good weather and the in creasing improvement of the roads has led to the tourists coming out in increasing numbers and the bright moonlight nights an inducement to speed along the streets and highways, but the wise driver is one who jcuts down to regulation speed when in the city limits as it will save them the price of many gallons of the fluid that has made John D. famous.

DABB ANSWERS LAST SUMMONS From Tuesday's tariy. . Passed Away Last Evening Follow ing Severe Fall Last Thursday and Stroke of Paralysis. Last evening at 9:30 Thomas C. Dabb, one of the old residents of the city, passed to his final reward fol lowing an illness of several days and which was preceded by a severe fall on last Thursday at the home in the west portion pf the city. On this occasion Mr. Dabb had been out in the yard and while walking around fell and suffered a concussion of the head and which was followed by a paralytic stroke that was so severe that little hopes of tbe recovery of the aged gentleman was entertained. He gradually grew worse until the death that occurred last evening. Thus, another of the men who have had an Important part in the early life of the city is called away and leaves the fast thining ranks of the pioneer - residents of the com munity. Mr. Dabb was a native of Cornwall. England, where he was born August 3. 183G, and when four teen years of age he came to Amer ica and on reaching his majority was admitted to citizenship in the j T-nitort stat and h?s since in his daily actions been vorthy of the splendid opportunities vuit this citi zenship brought and a firm and loy al supporter of his adopted country. While residing in the east he was married to Miss Ann Idwin at Eliza beth. New Jersey, and shortly after their wedding the young people started west to find a home, locat ing first at Mineral Point. Wiscon sin, and later moving to Parkers burg, Virginia, and then to Zaliski, Ohio, where they made their home for some time. It was while living in Ohio that Mr. Dabb met C. G. Green, now re siding in Lincoln, and who has been a lifelong friend, their families be ing neighbors in aliski. On May 4, 1874, Mr. Dabb. with Mr. Green, and a number of other residents xf their home town departed westward in search of a greater opportunity and a short time later arrived at Platts mouth where the two friends locat ed and brought their families here later to make their home. The Dabb family have since made their home here and for the last forty years have occupied the home at 13th and Main street where Mr. Dabb had erected a cozy and comfortable home and on which he has lavished his spare time in making an ideal home in every way. Several years ago Mr. Dabb parted with his old friend, Mr. Green, who has since removed to Lincoln and now resides there. To bless the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Dabb, eight children were born six of whom have preceded the fath er in death and the two surviving children are Mrs. Guy C. Moore of Seattle, Washington, and Mrs. Emily Morrison, who is at home and has assisted in the care of the aged fath er and mother in their declining years of life. There are also seven grandchildren as well as four great grandchildren to share in the sorrow that the passing of this good man has occasioned. Mr. Dabb has been a member of the Masonic order for the past forty five years and he will be laid to rest by this order in which he has been ; such a devout member. Religiously Mr. Dabb has been affiliated with the Methodist church for his lifetime and passed away firm in this faith. While a resident nere jur. uudu spent the greater period as an em- ploye of the Burlington in tne coacn shop and also had a large part in the construction of many of the fine residents here, erected in the period from 1880 on to the last few years.

SEVERE STORM MUCH DAMAGE HERE LAST NIGHT Wind Driving at High Velocity Tears Limbs From Trees and En dangers Property. From Tuesdays Dairy. One of the most severe storms in the past two years broke over the city last evening following a day of the most intense humidity when the temperature rose to 106 in the shade and the storm while bringing a tem porary relief from the heat, did much damage over the city, none of which was severe, however. The clouds began to roll up in the northwest shortly after 5 o'clock and bj 9 o'clock the gathering storm sent the residents of the city scurry ing to their homes to avoid the threatening danger and there were few, other than the business men, on the strect when the storm reached its severest stage from 10 to 11:30. The greatest damage reported was in the destruction of the trees and there was not a section of the city that did not have a large array of broken down trees and limbs torn up by the storm and hurled over the streets and a menace to the safety of the persons who were on their way home when the storm broke. In the main portion of the city the driv ing wind threatened to break in the windows of the business houses on the south side of Main street and on the R. A. Eates building at Fifth and Main street, a large section of the tiling on the root" of the build ing was blown-off and onto tbe side walk on Fifth street, just missing striking Frank Dunbar who had left his home in the building, just a few reconds before and barely escaped the force of the heavy tiling. In the west portion of the city the storm seems to have been the most severe and large trees were snapped off and at the residence of Joseph Iladraba, the druggist, a limb from a large cottonwood tree narrowly missed crashing through the roof of the house and as it was. fell on the garden plot completely covering it. The limb was very large and heavy and a few feet fartner would have sent it " crashing through the roof. Fruit trees suffered severely from the hail that followed the wind and for a few moments the hail stones large as hens eggs pelted the trees and stripped them of their fruit and did a great deal of damage to all kinds of fruit, and peaches that were just forming were battered from the trees and there will be very few that will survive to tell the tale. South of the city the storm was not severe except for the wind and at Union a large plate glass store front in the M. WT. A. building was blown in and the wind laid low a large part of the wheat and other crops "in that localitj and the roads strewn with the remnants or tne trees and branches that had been blown down. One of the severest trials of the storm was the fact that the electric light lines were out of commission for. quite a time and made the travel on the streets dangerous and very uncomfortable and in the homes there was a frantic rush for candles. lamps or any other lighting device that might be found. The telephone lines were also af fected by the storm all over the coun ty and south of the city the electric light lines were blown down near the Ed Spangler farm. GIVE SHOWER IN HONOR OF MISS NOBLE LAST NITE I&esdames E. H. and C. C. Wescott and Daughters Helen and Alice Louise, Are Hostesses. ' From Tuesday's Dallv.

DOVEY ESTATE MATTER DRAWS TO A CLOSE State Supreme Court Affirms District Court in Action of Frank E. Schlater vs. E. G. Dovey. Krom Tuesdays Daily. One of the pieces of litigation that has been before the district and state supreme court a great deal in the last few years in that of the issues arising out of the claims of the heirs of the estate of Jane A. Dovey, de ceased, and against the estate of the late Edward G. Dovey, as represent ed by the firm of E. G. Dovey & Son. The state supreme court yesterday passed on the case of Frank E. Schla ter, administrator of the estate of Jane A. Dovey, deceased and repre senting the heirs, Edward Grosvenor Dovey and George O. Dovey, against the firm of E. G. Dovey & Son, and affirmed the judgment of the district court of Cass county and found for the heirs of the estate of Jane A. Dovey. The case dates back to the death of Mrs. Jane A. Dovey in this city in 1913, and at which time there was filed in the county court a will of fered as the last will and testament of the deceased lady and in which she willed her interest In the estate of her late husband, Edward G. Do vey, to her two grandsons, Edward Grosvenor Dovey and George O. Do vey, sons of H. N. Dovey, frer son. The case was fought in the lower court by the administrator of the estate of E. G. Dovey and the county court found judgment in the sum of $76,000 for the heirs of Jane A. Dovey and admitted the will and fix ing the share in the estate. On appeal to the district court the case was affirmed and appealed to the state supreme court and since that time the action has been fol lowed by a number of actions that have overshadowed the original cause of action and the original de cree and judgment modified. Frank E. Schlater, who was appointed as the administrator of th estate of Jane A. Dovey, has appeared in the case representing the heirs. After the long period of litigation the final decision of the state court seems to settle the matter and re moves from that tribunal one of the most noted legal battles that has been staged in this portion of the state. 111 vS vj; !
