It Was a Fracticious Ford.
Sure it was and had a foot feed on
it, which could easily be mistaken
for a break, and so was taken by Mr.
Frank Bauer, with results not to
the liking of Mr.Bauer. It happened
that Mrs. Hcrold Nickols of Green
wood was visiting with her mother
and an uncle, and Frank, who is the
kindest hearted, man in America, al
most, volunteered to get the car from
the garage for Mrs. Nickols, and in
so doing had occasion to stop, and
so endeavored to do, but Tiis foot
found the foot feed instead of the
break and the more he preised the
faster it went and getting over near
the buildings, hopped upon a box
that happened to be setting thore and
not satisfied with that took a bump at
the large plate glass window and re
moved a piece of it. Then the car
seemed to be satisfied and could be
driven by a lady anywhere.
Enjoyed a Shooting Contest.
A number of the good shots of
Union and vicinity, and there are
some good ones in the bunch and
very few not so good, held a contest
last Sunday at which some excellent
scores were made. We were not able
to get the score but were assured
tho were good ones..

and will see what their is in the line

THOMAS WILES
PASSES HIS
80TH BIRTHDAY
Well Known Resident of This City
Bears Years Well and is One
of Surviving Veterans.
From Wednesday's Daily
Thomas Wiles, one of the real pio
neer residents of this section of the
country, was down in the business
section of the city and through con
versation it was learned that he was
celebrating his eightieth birthday,
although his actions and appearance
would not give the impression that
Mr. Wiles had passed this long pe
riod of life.
Mr. Wiles is a member of one of
the earliest families to settle in Cass
county and has been a resident here
for the greater part of his long life
time. He is one of the few remain
ing veterans of the Civil war in the
community, having been for years
one of the active figures in the work
of the C. A. It.
He has also been a strong and
dominant figure in the work of the
Christian church in this community
and has frequently served as leader
at the services, bringing to his asso
ciates in the church the message of
the christian faith.
Mr. Wiles in hi3 younger days was
greatly interested in school work and
was for a number of years engaged
in teaching in the country schools
and when the Plattsmouth city
schools were first started, Mr. Wiles
was tendered the position of super
intendent of the schools, but declined
as the task cf teaching in those
early days was a very thankless po
sition and one where the returns
were small, indeed, for the man or
woman who devoted their time to
the bringing of education into the
new west.

has a number of enforced boarders
on hand at this time and to while
away the hour3 for them he has se
cured the needed implements of
house cleaning, including the hum
ble mop and scrub brushes and with
the prisoners are getting busy. The

well as the uoors are to receive a
thorough scrubbing and the steel cots
also to be given a thorough going
