The District Court of Cass county has dismissed the Restraining Order and denied the Injunction asked for by the new Toll Bridge company against our bridge, which Restraining Order and Injunction, if granted, would have prevented us from reducing our BridgeToll Rates and we are now at liberty to run our own business as we see fit, regardless of the attempted interference of the new Toll Bridge company. Therefore, we have put the following Cut Rates into effect for the present, although we are in a position to make further reductions if we deem it necessary in order to overcome the results of the methods pursued by the new Toll Bridge company to secure business. ... 15c TRUCKS and BUSSES 95c Regardless of whether loaded or empty- Plattsmouth Auto & Wagon Bridge Company By T.

Short of Omaha, was here today for a few hours visiting with her relatives and friends and resting up from her harrowing ex perience of a few days ago when she was very badly burned In a fire that broke out at the home of Earl Short and wife with whom Mr. and Mrs. Tom Short were visiting. The fire at the Short home was caused by the flames from a kerosene stove catching fire to a can of oil and which in a short time was blazing very strongly. Mrs. Tom Short had attempted to throw the blazing can of oil out of the kitchen when the can exploded and as the result she received severe burns on her feet and one of the lower limbs as well as having a small cut on the head from a portion of the glass can that was broken in the explosion. Earl Short also had his left hand very badly burned In trying to put out the fire.
