EARL A. STANFIELD
PROBABLY FATALLY
INJURED IN BLAZE
Suffers Serious Injuries When Burn
ing Keg of Stock Dip Explodes
At Home At Arapahoe.
From Saturday's Daily
Earl A. Stanfleld, for a number of
years a residents of Plattsmouth, was
seriously, if not fatally burned yes
terday morning at his home in Ara
pahoe, Nebraska, when a keg of stock
dip that he was warming, exploded
and covered the unfortunate man
with the flaming liquid.
The fire occurred Friday morning
about 9 o'clock and at the time Mr.
Stanfield was engaged in warming
up a keg of stock dip, for which he
was salesman, getting the liquid in
shape so that it would flow easily
as he was to deliver the keg to a
purchaser out in the country.
Just as' a truck driver who was to
assist Mr. Stanfield. arrived at the
house and started into the kitchen
of the home the keg caught afire and
the man started to run to the truck
for a Pyrene extinguisher that was
there in hopes of checking the fire.
While he was gone the keg exploded,
the burning liquid being thrown all
over Mr. Stanfield and the room and
in an instant the unfortunate man
was ablaze and Earl started to run
from the house, his clothing all
ablaze and he ran some distance be
fore he was overtaken by the truck
driver with his fire extinguisher and
which soon put the blaze out, but
not until Earl was burned very bad
ly and suffering most intensely.
Mrs. Stanfielu was very badly
burned about the face and arm as
she attempted to aid her husband.
but her condition is not thought to
be serious.
The house was practically gutted
by the fire and the furniture ruined
n the attempts to save the building
md the ravages of the blaze. j
The latest reports yesterday after
noon from Arapahoe stated that the
chances for the recovery of Mr. Stan-
ie!d are very slight and the attend
ng physicians hold out little hope
of saving his life.
The news comes as a great shock
to the old friends here and both Mr.
and Mrs. Stanfield will have the
incere sympathy of their friends
here in the misfortune that has come
to them.

Four straight wins and the last
two from recognized Class A aggre
gations is the record of the Blue and
White basketball five for this month,
the fourth one coming last night
when University Place fell before
Coach Rothert's proteges by the score
of 21 to 18. The young Methodists
displayed the fastest brand of oppo
sition for the locals seen here this
year and forced Plattsmouth to show
the best they had which they did.
Although the whole Plattsmouth I
team played excellent basketball,
showing a coordination of effort
heretofore lacking, much credit is
due Damian Flynn, who has stepped
into the place left by Joe Krejci at
center. Last night he caged four
field goals and showed the greatest
improvement in form of any player
on the team. Buttery, Hatt. Hart
ford and Rebal also performed in
faultless style.
Plattsmouth got the jump on the
Lincoln suburbanites before the
game was a minute old and was
never headed, . Buttery caging two
baskets in quick succession to put
his team in the lead.
The half ended 9 to 7 for Plattsmouth.
In the third period the Blue and J
White drew clear away from their
opponents as Flynn and Rebal start
ed locating the hoop, and the third
quarter ended 19 to 9 in Platts
mouth's favor.
University Place came back strong
in the last. eight minutes and threat
ened to even up the count, but were
prevented by Plattsmouth's close
guarding and were forced to take the
short end of the score.
Surely, with the team now repre
senting them, the students of Platts
mouth High school should get out
and support it to the limit in the
remaining home games on the sched
ule which are only two, the Nebras
ka School For , the Deaf next Wed

STONE HOLDING UP WELL
The strip of road leading into town
from the east that was covered with
crusher run stone last fall is making
many friends for stone as a material
for building roads. It is possible that
stone will be favorably considered by
the committee as well as gravel when
the contract is let for building roads
leading into town this spring. Louis
ville is situated that either stone
or gravel may be used as both are
produced here. At any rate we may
be sure of good roads which will be
welcomed by all. Louisville Courier.

From Saturday's iiaily
This morning Officer Clyde Jackson
departed for Nebraska City where he
joined Sheriff Carl Ryder of Otoe
county, and the two gentlemen drove
over to Sidney, Iowa, where there
has been unearthed several clues that
may apply to the solving of the
mysterious and tragic death of Carl
Albright, which occurred on the fed
eral highway north of this city on

hoping to find some definite trace of
the parties who are supposed to have
been here with Albright on the after
noon of the day that he met his un
timely death by being burned to
death on the highway together with
bis Ford coupe. There has been some
very good clues unearthed and from
these the officers hope to get some
real results. N

BERTSCHY BY-PASS
From Saturdays Oaily
One of the most delightful social
gatherings of the season was the re
ception held yesterday afternoon by
Mrs. William Baird and Mrs. A. S.
Ghrist, at the M. W. A. hall in honor
of Mrs. J. Dean Ringer and Mrs. F. A.
Broadwell of Omaha.
For the occasion the interior of the
spacious hall had been transformed
into a bower of beauty and charm,
all of the settings of the home being
in evidence and the decorvative fea
tures artistic in the extreme. The
windows were curtained in white
with overdrapes of pink and pink
streamers while at each window
there were a profusion of the pink
rosebuds. The color effect of pink
war? also found in the drapings of the
lights in the room, streamers of this
hue being employed very extensively
in this and also carried out in the
baskets of flowers places throughout
the room. The charm of the scene
was enhanced by the large rugs
placed over the hall and large stands I rnents, mostly all i
of the beautiful ferns also were used I real place for chick
in tne decorative plan or tne aiter-
noon. The serving table with
snowy linen and flowers also added
a very effective touch to the scene.
In the arrangement of the hall the
hostesses were assisted by Mr. Tay
lor of Omaha of the Buick Co., who
is a decorator of many years standing
and whose work certainly gave a very
attractive atmosphere to the pleas
ant occasion.
During the afternoon Mrs. Ringer
was heard in a number of very artis
tically given piano numbers that de
lighted the ladies and gave a demon
stration of the wonderful talent that
Mrs. Ringer has in this line of mus
ical study.
Mrs. Broadwell gave . during the
afternoon a wonderful dramatic read
