CAR S1IASHES WINDOW
From Tuesday Daily
Yesterday afternoon the residents
along North Fifth street near the
Bates building had a real thrill af
forded them and which gave Mrs.
G. E. Brubacher a shock that she will
long remember most unpleasantly.
Mrs. Brubacher left ter Ford .rre
parked near the Martin Cash and
Carry store and had gone down into
the city to do some shopping. Re
turning to the car shortly after 4
o'clock accompanied by Mrs. William
Heinrich, she had decided to 6tart
home and accordingly the car was
started. There were autos parked on
both sides of the coupe and it was
very difficult to guide the car out and
Mrs. Brubacher moved the car ahead
to try and clear the neighboring car
and back out, as the car came for
ward one wheel ran up on the curb
ing and this had evidently confused
and excited the driver of the car and
sl evidently threw the car into
gear as it started out suddenly and
before it could be stopped the fender
on the front of the car had crashed
into the large plate glass show win
dow of Mr. Martin's, breaking It and
scattering glass around over the side
walk and attracting the attention of
a large number of passersby. For
tunately no one was injured in the
breaking of the window altho several
who were nearby had a close call
from the runaway car and the flying
glass. The car was not damaged and,
as the owner of the car was in a very
nervous state over the accident, the
car was driven away by P. A. Mc
Crary, one of the spectators.
CITY APPEALS CASE
From Tuesday's Dally
The City of Plattsmouth has filed
an appeal from the county court in
the case wherein the city was the
plaintiff and Ralph Doud, the de
fendant. Thi3 action was one In
which the city charged the defend
ant with having parked his car
on Main street without exercising
the proper care and as a result the
car started out from where it was
parked near the office of the Drs.
Livingston and its course down the
hill was stopped by running into an
electrolier post at Sixth and Main
streets, the electrolier post being
broken off and making it necessary
to replace the same at a cost of S6S
to the city.
In the trial of the case in the
county court the defense contended
that the car had been properly park
ed, that the defendant was not near
the car when it started out and that
the cause of the car getting away
was the work of parties unknown.
After the taking of the evidence In
the case the court found for the de
fendant, Doud, and assessed the costs
at $25 against the plaintiff city.
The case will now be tried before
Judge Begley In the district court at
the next term of court.

Councilman Schutz, who has
charge of the parks and improve
ment committee of the council, and
in whose Jurisdiction falls the Im
provements in and on the city hall,
is preparing the plans and specifica
tions for the plastering and general
cleaning up of the city Jail. The
condition of the jail is very bad the
councilman finds from his investiga
tions and really Is unfit for service
as a place to confine anyone. Mr.
Schutz proposes to have the walls
plastered and cleaned up and the
whole interior washed out and made
as near sanitary as possible under
the fact that the place was not in
tended for anything but a cellar. in
the first place. The old bedding and
cots that have served there under
several police regimes, is also to be
doomed If the fourth ward council
man has his way and the vermine
and reptiles and other annexes of
the ancient bedding will make their
exit in a large bonfire.
The plans of Mr. Schutz are all
right and certainly should be car
ried out. The city should see that
they have a half-way respectable
place to lodge their prisoners with
out making them rest in the vermine
infested nest that they now have.
