in the business section of the city

Mr. C. D. Thurston and family
were attending the Parmele theatre
and had left their auto parked on
the south side of Main street near
the office of the Drs. Livingston and

it was thought that it was safe from
getting away from the moorings. In
some manner the car got a start
down the rather steep incline of the
Main street hill and started out on a
little spin of its own. The car
which is a rather heavy one. bumped
over the curbing on the park in the

The two cars were forced into a third

The collision was investigated by
the night police who were attracted
at once to the scene and it was found
that the owner of the third car could
not be located as there was no regis

The damage to the Thurston and

affair was one of those unavoidable-

filled with the many ladies who were

and she was showered with many
elegant and useful gitts. the articles

The children of Mr. and Mrs. Gro

home of their grandmother, Mrs.
James B. Higley for the past two
weeks, are very sick at this time suf
fering from an attack of typhoid
fever and the condition of the
younger child, Ralph, aged 5 years,
is very serious indeed and his re
covery is considered quite doubtful.
The oldest boy, Walter, aged 11,
was the first one taken sick and
was very low for a number of days
and had to be removed from the
home east of the Burlington station
to hte home of his grandmother, as
the damp condition of the lowlands
was very bad for this malady. He
has grown somewhat better and is
now thought to be out of danger,
but the other children have acquir
ed the malady and are quite sick, the
two daughters, Edith, 9 years old.
and Esther, aged seven, are not as
bad however as the younger boy.

Team Trims Up Our Boys by
a Score of 10 to 5.
From Thursday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon with the win
try zephers making the atmosphere
decidedly wintry at the baseball park
the Plattsmouth high school base
ball team experienced the bitterness
of defeat at the hands of the Louis
ville boys by the score of 10 to 5.
and the small lads who composed the
visiting team decidedly warmed the
going for the locals in the last two
innings of the battle.
The victory of the visitors was
contributed to in no small part by
the work of Ted Hart man, the hurl-
er, who caused eleven or the iJiatts
mouth swatters to lay down their
bats through the strikeout route, and
also secured two safe hits, one being
three sacker which disrupted the
game for the locale.
The Plattsmouth team also suffer

serious errors that aided the visitors
In their victory and inability to hit
it the opportune time kept the
rown of victory from the grasp of
the locals.
Joe Krejci was on the mound for
the Plattsmouth team and retired

Some Artistic Work by
Sixth Grade Scholars
From 8u4a.y' Daily
In the east window of the C. E.
Wescott's Sons store there are some
very attractive posters that have
been prepared by the pupils of the
sixth grade of the Central building.
and which are in a plan of boosting
ror a cleaner ana Detter city by tne
securing of new homes and better
conditions that surround the home.
The posters are very artistically
prepared and are certainly a piece of
work that reflects the greatest of
credit upon the youngg people who
prepared them.
esterday of the 204 acres of land
formerly known as the little Frank
oung farm, and which is situated
on the highwav five miles south of
this city, shows that in the opinion
of the bankers Cass county soil is
not such a bad investment after all
and is a guraanteed safe investment
for the conservative man or woman.
There has always been a safe return
from the Cass county farms and
while many may not be satisfied with
their showing for the year perhaps,
they should realize that they have
a real substantial and safe invest
ment in their land and it is evident
that Mr. Pollock shares this opinion
in making the purchase of the new
farm.

ened to the city bastile to release
the travelers who had been given
shelter there for the night, he re
ceived quite a surprise from one of
the members of the slumber party.
This man had evidently found
that the soft and luxurious couches
provided by the city had not bene
fited him as they should as he pro
ceeded to have a small fit before the
eyes of the startled guardian of the
law but soon recovered and went on
his way apparently little the worse
