SULT OF INJURY
ENID ALLEN, 11. OF OMAHA IS
SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN
AUTO ACCIDENT.
From Mondays Dally
Late yesterday afternoon on the
Omaha-Kansas City highway north
of this city and between the Elliott
and Will farms occurred one of the
most serious auto accidents that has
taktr. place in many months, when
tl:v large Hudson touring tar of
Mur I Greco crashed into the Ford
touring car of Dave Allen of Omaha
and as the result every member of
the Allen family was injured and
Eni!. the eleven year old daughter,
probably fatally.
The wreck caused the utmost ex
citement and many of the residents
of il;e city hastened to the scene!
where the two cars lay, battered and !
air; :?t total wrecks, alcner the road-
sute wnere tne accident occurred.
At the time the accident occurred
the Allen family were driving back
to their home in Omaha and had iust
reached the level stretch of road Ar the Nebraska Masonic Home in
north of the Elliott farm when they thi3 citF where he has made his home
saw the larger car coming from the for ,lie Pa 'ear. Dr. Henry J. Aber
r. -th. but Mr. Allen stated to the l passed away Saturday afternoon
sheriff that he had not paid any par- at :? o'clock at the age of seventy- ape -ti.
ular attention to the car altho it 'our years. The old difterences over the police
mmin. v.rv fr.cf an i tunt bo Dr. Aberly was a native of Switz- ' question flared up when the judic-
had supposed that the car would pass
rll right as the Allen car was on the
risht hand side of the road and there
was ample room for passing as the
road is quite wide at this point. The
Allen car was being driven by a
yung son of Mr. Allen and who had
evidently ?aw the danger from the
ortrushing Hudson as the traces show
where the Allen car had crowded the
right hand side of the road and had
reached the edge of the ditch when
it was struck. The larger car struck
the left rear wheel of the Allen car
and tore it completely off and plowed
on through the wreckage for a dis
tance of several feet and the Hud
son had the fenders, top and 'doors
torn off .Td batterer up cni crreen--
ing from the left hand side of the
road had crashed across the highway
to bury a portion of the front of the
car in the bank along the roadside
and making a complete job of wreck
ing the car. None of the occupants
of the larger car were dangerously
hurt altho one of the young men
with Mr. Greco suffered a bad cut
on the mouth and others of the five
occupants were battered and bruised
somewhat from the result of the
wreck.
The occupants of the Allen car
were not as fortunate as those in the
larger car. the little daughter being
terribly injured and mangled in the
collision of the cars. The flesh was
torn loose In large chunks from her
forehead and portions of the 'scalp
torn and rolled back in a most ter
rible manner and the body brdly bat
tered and bruised and it was thought
a fracture of the left shoulder had
been sustained. The face of the lit
tle girl v r.s one mass of torn flesh
and blo'.d as the passersby. Sheriff
Quinton and others, who were call
ed, rr " hed the score. Mr. Allen wns
cut on the face to a greater or less
extent r.nd Mrs. Allen had a hole
torn in the flesh just below the right
eye and one ear of the son who was
drivir- the ear was very badlv lac-
driving the ear was very badly lac
erated.
While all of the parties were rath
er dazed and shocked over the ter
rible accident those in the larger car
were j.ble to state that the brakes on
their car h:'d refused to work as they
drew nerr the Allen car going at a
high rate of speed and that in a few
seconds the accident occurred.
Mr. Greco and the occupants of
his cr who are employed here, were
returning from Omaha at the time
of the accident and this is one of the
first rirr.ej that the owner has had
the enr out as he only purchased it
last Thursday from friends in Om
aha. len. from the wreckage and assisted
in getting her to the office of Dr. J.
S. Livingston where the necessary
first aid dressings were made and
the patient nrtde as comfortable as
possible and taken at once by Sher
iff Quintcn to the Clarkson hospital
in Omaha for treatment.
The injuries of the little girl were
very severe and being cared for by
Dr. Livinsrston with great skill and
tit, surgeons at the hospital includ-
ing the special surgeons were so well
satisfied that they made.no further
touches. The reports from the hospi
tal this noon indicated that the lit
tle girl is doing nicely and now will
have a chance of recovery from the
injuries.
The young man driving the Allen
lunuj secured a ride :nto Omana
anrt returned t a short time with
the eldest son of the Allen family,
who conducts a garage at 20th and
Farnura street, and who assisted in
retting the injured members of his
family back to their home.

The matter of the payment of the j

tailed the legal steps by which the j
paving districts were created and"

cent ruling of the state supreme

that the levy must be made on prop-
erty in the proportion that it was'
benefited and that under this ruling I
all sums over the amount raised by '
the levy of special beneficiary as-(
sessements must be made as a gen-
eral form of taxation and that in his
opinion the city could issue war-

ver ana made a numher ut trips
across the plains, a round trip re
quiring a year to complete. At that
time it was the custom to hold the
trcighters until a train could be
formed and convoyed by a company
of soldiers and Mr. Streight often re-
' iat?(1 how on his sond trip he and
:i !d at Jnlfsburg, Colorado, for a
trip bark to Plattsmouth and that in
the night the two young men had
flipped away and made the return
trip across the plains despite the
"angers luai iurKeu iro.n me au-
ccring trioes ot Indians.
In the year 1S74 Mr. Streight was
married at Plattsmouth to Miss Fan
nie C. Potter, who, after the long
; years of wedded life, mourns the
j death of her life's, companion. Wirh

After his marriage Mr. Streight
engaged largely in the livery busi-
! re ss as he had a great love for horses
v.xA often trained and drove blooded
'race horses in this city and nearby
points. He owned a livery barn near
v ."here the M. W. A. building now
t r-tands and later purchased the in-
terest of his father, Jason Streight,
;:i the
harness business and with
; Dave Miller operated it for several
ears as Millc-r ii: Streight. He was
:l:o active in republican politics at
a early day and served at deputy
sheriff for three terms under Sheriff
.!. li. Cutler ana has always taken j
a keen interest in the political af-
fairs of the community.
He was a man known as .a warm j
and true friend by a large circle of J
associates and in his lifetime wasj
kind and generous with those whom j
;e called by name of friend, and they;
will miss greatly in the years to come
his kindly greeting.
To the family the sympathy of the
community will go out in this hour

HAS SILVER PLATE
PUT IN BROKEN ARM
To Eeplace Shattered Bone Sustain

Some Weeks Ago.
The condition cf the injured arm
of Grover Ruffner. who suffered the
fracture of thf collar hone and rieht
arm a few weeks ago when kicked
bv a horse, continues ouite nainfulier Aiurraj
and the patient is still under the
care of the surgeons in Omaha,
where he was taken after the acci
dent. The bone of the arm was so badly
shattered that it has taken some
time to fully determine just what
should be done in the case and in
order to replace a section of the
bone that was very badly splintered
and shattered a silver plate was used
by the surgeons in the arm to re
place the bone tissues that were too
badly splintered to heal.
Yesterday his father. P. E. Ruffner
was at Omaha to visit Grover and his
other sons Sperry and Horace Ruff
ner. and reports that Grover is do
ing very nicely now. although it will
be months before he will have the
entire use of the arm.
ROBBED AND BEATEN
Sherman Davis, claiming Platts
mouth as his residence, poured a sad
ftory Into the ears of the South Side
police Sunday when he reported his
robbery of three phoney watches and
33. The robbery occurred Saturday
after midnight shortly after Mr. Davis-had
alighted from the Albright
car at the end of the car line on the
South Side. He told the police the
alleged robber was a gentleman bear
ing the unusual name of Jones. The
roll and watches were not recovered,
however.

Absurd, of course! And yet many

offers against the weather.
