SERIOUS AUTO AC
CIDENT OCCURS AT
MURRAY SATURDAY
Bay Campbell of Near Murray Etuis
into Car of Omaha People Re
turning from Trip South
From Holiday's Daily
A very serious auto accident oc
curred on Saturday afternoon short
ly after 3 o'clock at the Minford
corner a milp east of Murray, where
the state highway meets the federal
highway running north and south.
The cars of Ray Campbell of near
Murray and of William Sachase of
2749 South 29th street. Omaha,
were the two that met in the col
lision. From the reports of the accident
it seems that Mr. Campbell was
coming from Murray east along the
state highway, headed for his homo
east of Murray and as he neared the
Minford corner where the state road
joins the federal highway the view
is obstructed by a very extensive
weed patch and as he swept into
the ftderal road the car of Mr. Sac
hase was coming from the south, both
cars traveling at a good rate of speed
and met in a direct collision that
practically wrecked Loth of the cars
and reduced them to mere scrap iron.
The cars were hurled to the east
side of the road and how the occu
pants of the cars escaped death Is a
real miracle and the force of the
impact tore off the wheels of the
Sachase car and crushed It badly,
while the car of Mr. Campbell was
also badly damaged and mashed.
Vance Burton, repairman of tho
Lincoln Telephone company, was
working on a pole Just a few feet;
from the scene of the accident and
feared at first that the crupant3 of
the cars were seriously If not fatally
Injured. Ho at once cut In on tho
telephone lino and called Dr. O. II.
Gilmoro of Murray at once to the
scene of the accident.
Dr. CJilmore on reaching the scene
of the accident found that Mr. Sac
hase was suffering from very severe
cuts on the face and head caused by
the glass from the broken wind
shield and which required - evfa
stitches to close up. .The lnjurlrs!
received by Mr3. fcaoUaae- were uuu
as to lead to the fear that her back
had been severely injured or bruis
ed and made it necessary to call an
ambulance from Omaha to come and
take the injured lady on to her home
in Omaha. The little son of Mr. and
Mrs. Sachase escaped uninjured and
the little girl in the car was suffer
ing from only minor cuts and bruises
that were not of a serious nature.
Mr. Campbell was not seriously in
jured although suffering from cuts
and bruises. j
The Sachase family were returning j
home from a vacation trip to Mc-
Allister, Oklahoma, and had had a
very pleasant trip up to within 25 j
miles of home when thev met the'
collision that resulted in their in-'
jury and the destruction of their car

SHENANDOAH NINE

By Score of 8 to 3 the Iowans Have
the Best of Baseball Contest
Yesterday Afternon.
From Monday s Dally
, .
Tho Plattsmouth baseball team
sustained their first defeat in several
weeks yesterday afternoon at Shen
andoah. Iowa, when the team of that
place annexed the battle by the score
The Iowa town has just
braska and western Iowa and their
machine proceeded to start right af-
ter the Plattsmouth team, but with
the luck breaking any way for the
locals the score would havo been
much closer.
Plattsmouth was suffering from
the fact that Art Klauschie who was
to do the mound work for the locals,
had been through a gruelling battle
on Saturday afternoon at Omaha and
was very wild in the opening and in
the course of the game issued eight
passes to first and which was a part
of the hard luck that followed the
locals through the game.
Bill Mason, who is usually as re
liable as Tanglefoot in catching flies
had hard luck in the game and miss
ed a drive of the Shenandoah batter
that allowed them to check up two
runs.
Harry Newman was doing some of
his usual fancy fielding at the key
stone sack and the hitting of Ed
Gradoville and Herb Klauschie were
among the bright spots for the Platts
mouth rootera that accompanied the
team.
With the team playing anything
like their usual form the Shenandoah
ball whackers would have had the
surprise of their lives in the battle
and from the showing made tho
Plattsmouth team looked very good.

rors that were chalked up in the
game and which allowed the Avery
boys to put across all of their runs.
A fly dropped in center field result
ed in two scoring at one time and
took the pep out of the Plattsmouth
team. Frank Wooster started on tho
mound for Plattsmouth, but retired
in favor of Tom McGuire, but the
game was hopeless and Avery held
the locals to the losing Bide of the
