Gives Director Praise but
Lists Home Address Wrong
From Tuesday's Daily
The radio section of the Omaha
Daily News of Saturday had as one
of the features of the edition a very
g m d picture of our fellow towns
man. Edward H. Schulhof. although
the article gave the credit for pos
sessing Mr. Schulhof to Glenwood
instead of Plattsmouth and for this
fact we desire to call the attention
of the News to the error.
Mr. Schulhof has for several years
been the director of the Glenwood
municipal band and has by his mu
isicai work become one of the well
j known figures in Cass and Mills
counties ana through his efforts
there has been many excellent band
men developed in this section of the
country.
The Plattsmouth and Glenwood
bands under the direction of Mr.

over the WOAW radio station and
are two Organizations that bring a
great deal of pleasure to hear from

some? extent and was thoroughly

to the offices of the Drs. Livingston

Last Sunday while driving in a
Ford roadster in which there were
Miss Tessie Philpot and another
young lady, and Mr. Harold Ward.
the car was ran into a bank near the
home of A. G. Murdoch and over
turned and badly broken, while Miss
Tessie Philpot was caught under the
car and very seriously injured in the
chest and hips, as well as having a
very serious contusion in one of her
arms which required many stitches
f the surgeon's needle to close.
It was thought at first that a num
ber of the ribs had been broken from
the spinal column and just how ser
ious the internal injuries are has
not been ascertained, but the injur
ies were severe in the extreme. The
young lady was immediately taken
to her home and has been under the
care of the physicians and nurses
since, and is considered as being
very badly injured.
The car was being driven by the
other young lady, who was not so
very familiar with the driving of
the car. and the steering gear being
very loose, made the control of the
car much more difficult.
