Drunk Driver
Causes Panic on
K of T Highway
Otoe County Car Driven by Two Men
Makes Trouble and Drivers
Get a Trimraing.
From Monday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon there was a
very large number of autos out on
the highway, loaded with pleasure
seekers and families out for their
weekly outing and to these two men
driving an Otoe county car was a
danger and menace until the driver
and his companion were taken to a
"cleaning" by John Fyfe of this city
at the village of Union.
Among those who were out driv
ing for the afternoon were Mr. and
ITrs. C. F. Vallery of this city and
Mr. Fyfe, who is a roomer at their
home accompanied them and was
driving the car of Mr. Vallery. They
had their first experience with the
Otoe county car near Murray o" the

the Otoe car which was going south
came along and tried to force the
Vallery car over into the ditch and
tried this stunt on every car that
they came across, keeping their an-
noyance of the other motorists and
trying to hog the road. So disagree-
able was the Otoe county men in
their tatics that a number of cars
containing family parties turned into
the side roads to avoid the road nusi-
euces. i
Just going into Union the Vallery
car again encountered the road hogs

Gilmore Team
Capture irst Game by the Score of
8 to 1 and Second Battle by
Margin of 3 to 2.
From Monday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon the local base
ball team asserted their intention of
being a real contender for the pen
nant in the Sarpy-Cass county league
when they battled with the Gilmore
team of the league and captured the
twin bill, the first contest being de
cidedly one sided in favor of Platts
mouth by the score of 8 to 1, while
in the second game the locals came
from behind in the final inning
the game and won by the margin
3 to 2, the last blow of Peter Heroldj
in the seventh and deciding frame

The two games were featured

games as well as the fielding of Svo

were on the war path with their
clubs, Newman and Svoboda hitting
well in the opening game, and Mc

Second Game.
The second contest was far more of
a thriller and for almost all of the
game was in favor of the visitors until
the last inning when a rally by the
locals swept away the defence that
George Becker had laid down for his
team and permitted the locals to win
by 3 to 2. In the game, that was
limited to seven innings Becker pitch
ed good ball up until the close and
while nicked for nine hits had kept
them well scattered. Swanson who
did the hurling for Plattsmouth only
allowed three bingles,, two of these
doubles that resulted in .scores. Swan
ny also did not allow a walk while
Becker in the last inning allowed a
pass that resulted in his downfall.
Swanson also assisted in snatching
from defeat by a two sacker in the
last frame that scored Mason and
tied the game.

Restraining
Order Halts
Sale of Car
Sheriff Stewart Has Restraining Or
der Served on Him Today in
Case of Harpster Car.
From Monday's Daily
Another chapter has been written
in the troublesome career of the
Buick master 6 automobile that was
one time the property of Mrs. Bota
Harpster of Nebraska City, but which
has been since May 14th here in the
custody of Sheriff E. P. Stewart of
Cass county, having been taken as a
carrier of intoxicating liquor.
The car was to have been sold this
morning by Sheriff Stewart to satisfy
the order of cour ordering the car
to be sold under the state law cov
ering the use of automobiles for the
transportation of liquor.
The restraining order was secured
by the Nebraska City National bank
through their attorneys, Paul Jessen.
of Nebraska City, C. A. Rawls and
A. L. Tidd of this city. The plain
tiff claims a chattel mortgage made
by Mrs. Harpster to them on the auto
mobile and that their intcrcct.3 v.-cuLI

der the court order. They also claim
that the car was supposed to have
been used for demonstration purposes
and was used by the owner as a car
for use without their knowledge and
that they had no knowledge of the
taking of the car or the sale until
this date.
The car is a new one and the value
of the automobile is $2,300 this be
ing the price placed on the car by
the owner, Mrs. Harpster. The sale
of the car has attracted a great deal
of attention here and a large num
ber of bidders arrived to make offer
ings on the car which were disap
pointed when the restraining ordei
held up the sale of the car.

PURSUED BY JINX
From Tuesday's Daily
"Sandy" Andrews, well known
character here for a number of years,
is still evidently pursued by his old
jinx of getting into trouble as he was
found last night in a car sleeping
along the highway north of Wyoming
and just over the Cass county line.
The man had evidently been sud
denly overcome by sleep as he had
left his car standing in the road with
out lights and one of the passing
autoists late last night crashed into
the car and discovered the condition
of the man. Sheriff Stewart depart
ed this afternoon for Nebraska City
where the man was taken and will

Creek and vicinity for the past forty
five years and has had no trouble
heretofore and feels very keenly th
false statements that have gained
currency as to the affair. He sas

been poorly for a period of several
weeks, is now able to sit up a great
er part of the time altho she has
great difficulty in getting around as

dition has greatly encouraged the
family that she may in a short time
regain her former health and be able
to look after the activities of the
household. Both Mr. and Mrs. Schantz

makes the illness a great deal more
rerious than otherwise.
Stranger Suffers
Serious Inuries
at Hog Ranch
Man Working at Hog Ranch Near
Cullom Rescued from Herd of
Hogs in Serios Shape.
From Tuesday's Daily
Saturday a stranger appeared at
the "hog ranch" near Cullom where
there is a large number of hogs being
fattened there for the market on the
supplies of slop shipped from Omaha,
and there being a shortage of help
at the time the man was engaged.
The managers of the ranch had not
learned the man's name when he was
the victim of a very serious attack
from a large herd of the hogs and is
now at the hospital suffering from
the result of the attack and in very
dangerous condition and his idenity
veiled in mystery.
The man it is stated, had taken
a horse and started to go after the
mail for the ranch and it was not
until sometime later that his plight
was discovered by the employes at
the ranch. It is thought that the
horse must have thrown the man off
and that in falling he was knocked
unconscious, as there was a bad gash
found on his head that may have
been caused by either the fall or from
the attack of the hogs.
The men at the ranch were attract
ed by a disturbance among the hogs
and on investigation it was found
that they were attacking the uncon
scious form of the stranger and had
inflicted some very nasty wounds
when they were driven off and the
man removed to the house.
The injured man was treated by
Dr. R. P. Westover of this city and
his wounds found to be of such a
nature that it was thought best to
have him removed to the hospital in
Omaha where he has since been cared
for.
If the man had not been found
at the time he was, there is little
doubt that in a very short time he
would have been torn to pieces by
the hogs and as it is he is in very
serious condition.

Intersection.
From Tuesday'H Dally
Last evening while the caravan of
merry makers were heading for the
Ak Sar Ben den at Omaha, thn in
tersection of Sixth and Vine streets
was the scene of two accidents, both
occurring in the space of a half hour
and resulting in two cars being very
badly damaged, altho fortunately
there was no one injured seriously.
The first accident occurred when
the car of Roy Perkins crashed into
the Ford coupe of an Omaha man who
was coming from the west while Mr.
Perkins was Omaha bound and the
intersection proving to be too small
the cars crashed with the result that
the Ford coupe was more or less dam
aged and sent to the garage for re
pairs. While the debris and excitement
of the first accident was still furnish
ing the subject of conversation of
the onlookers who had gathered at
the corner, Roland Thomas, driving
a Ford touring car, came down Sixth
street from the north and was just
about the center when a Uuick car
driven by a man named Newell came
from the east, he too being Omaha
bound and the cars crashed right at
the center of the intersection, the
left hind wheel of the Thomas car

HEAT RECORDS BREAKING
From Tuesday' Daily
One of the hottest periods in the
history of the Missouri valley state
has swept over this locality in the
past few days and since the early
portion of last week the temperature
has been steadily mounting with but
little prospect of relief.
The temperature here on Sunday
and Monday was 103 in the shade and
this noon the mercury had scaled to
the 100 point with the prospects of
reaching the peak of Monday. The
temperature at the lowest point last
night was 76 and which afforded a
partial relief to the suffering public.
Corn has suffered very much in the
last three days reports s4ate and
firing in a large number of places
as the result of the intense heat and
the hot winds that yesterday swept
down from the west and south. A
few days of the prevailing weather
is expected to cause the loss of a
large part of the corn crop over all
parts of the state.
