HAVE TO MOVE
TRACKS ON RIVER
Will Not Do So However. Until Mis
souri Gets Closer and More
Threatening.
From Wednesday's Dally
will be forced to move its branch
line track for a considerable dis
tance in the vicinity of Barney in
Otoe county before long, but it will
not do so until it is made clear that
the move must be made. If a move
is made, however, it will be in the
- . , , . .
nature oi a wsi sianu a move oi a
distance of a thousand feet in one
place to get as near the bluffs as
possible, in its retreat from the ag
gressive Missouri river.
"We may have to move," said Gen
eral Manager Flynn of the Burling
ton in Lincoln Tuesday morning,
after he had spent Monday afternoon
looking over the situation. "We
won't move until it is made clear
that nothing else remains to be
done."
Year after year protective work
and track moving has been in pro
gress near Barney station, south of
Nebraska City. Farmers have lost
their land holdings. One man whose
farm is crossed by the Burlington"
began with a little less than three
hundred. He has less than one
third that much land now. Others
have lost all their holdings. One
place where the railroad once ran is
now on the Iowa side of the river.
"After looking this river work
over." said General Supertendent
Lyman of the Burlington, after the
inspection trip, "one is forced to
wonder why the government will
spend millions in the effort to make
this river navigable, when that mon
ey ought to be spent in saving pro
ductive farm land, the best corn land
in the world. A few years ago one
man last a forty acre apple orchard,
one of the prettiest and most pro
ductive orchards in that apple sec
tion. Dozens of trees fell into the
river at a time. The farmers have
not the capital to do the work "them.
-elves. These farms e a govVrn-
ment asset. When they go into the
river the government sustains actual
loss. Better save the land than waste
money in trying to make the river
navigable."

Ford Touring Car Driven by Miss El

Perry Smashed Up.
From Monday's Daily
Yesterday, the cairn and peace of
the sunshiny Sunday afternoon was
broken by a small auto accident at
the intersection of Seventh and Main
street which in a few moments at
tracted quite a large number of on
lookers as the cars were placed back
in serviceable condition.
The accident was caused when the
Ford touring car driven by Miss Ella
Hyde, which was going north cn
Seventh street, ran into the new
Buick roadster of Virgil Perry which
was going west on Main street at a
very good rate of speed. Spectators
who were near the scene of the acci

going at a very good rate of speed.
As the roadster was crossing Seventh
street the Ford crashed into the left
rear side of the car, bending the fen
der ard tearing off the hub cap as
well as scratching the body of the
car. The left front wheel of the
Ford was broken and the pieces of
; the wheel scattered over the entire
: iuterseuion and the tire rolled
; around over the street for several
j minutes while the parties were
t checking up to see if they were in
jured. j Fortunately there was no one in
jured in the accident to amount to
anything aside from the natural
shock that followed the accident
which was felt by the drivers of both
machines.
The Perry car was occupied by
, three young men and two were rid
ing on the running board on the
: right hand side of the car and one
tof whom, William Matschullat, was
thrown off onto the paving without
serious result.
After the accident was checked

the damage repaired and the car of
Mr. Ptrry was not injured so as to
affect its running powers and was
driven away by the owner, appar

FIERY GROSS BURNS AT
LOUISVILLE LAST WEEK
The residents of Louisville were
given a t? al thrill on Friday evening
when In the southwestern part of tho
city there blazed forth a large flam
ing cross that cast a lurid hue over
the sky for several moments. The
cross was eight feet in height and
constructed of wool and paper that
burned very free' The appearance
of the cross excutd much interest
and as the emblem of the Ku Klux
Klan it was the fir- . intimation that
there was an organisation of thia
order in Louisvillo or any members
residing there. This is the first ap
pearance of the flaming cross in the
county so far as can be learned.
