O'clock as the Efforts to Give
Him Relief Fail.
From Monday's Dally
This morning at 4 o'clock at the
hospital in Omaha occurred the
death of John Cotner, well known
resident of this city, who was so
severely injured Saturday morning
when he was caught between two
trucks while engaged in his work on
the highway north of this city and
suffered internal injuries from which
it was impossible for him to rally.
The condition of Mr. Cotner war
such that his recovery was almost
hopeless when he was taken to the
hospital but all that was possible that
might add to his chances of recov
ery was carried out by the attend
ing phssirians and surgeons but
without result. The condition of the!
injured man with the severe inter-j
nai injuries wnicn were ciisciosea on
the examination could not be aided
by the treatments given.
The splendid constitution of Mr.'
Cotner and his wonderful vitality ,
kept him alvie through the long!
hours following the accident and he
was conscious
10 me lew mo-
ments and with fortitude and cour
age braved the terrible injuries that
had befallen him.
The deceased was fifty-two years
of age and has been a resident of
Plattsmouth for the past twenty-six
years, coming here from

SUFFERS BAD FALL
From Monday's Daily
A. F. Moore, one of the operators
at the Oreapolis signal tower of the
Burlington, is confined to his home
as the result of a rather severe acci-
!dent that he sustained Saturday aft-
Iernoon.
Mr. Moore was walking along near
lthe Main hotel when he slipped and
fell to the walk, striking his head
and inflicting a very severe bruise
on the head that rendered him un
conscious and made necessary taking
him to the office of a physician where
his injuries were dressed and he was
made as comfortable as possible. Mr.
Moore was quite badly shaken up as
the result of the injury and will be
compelled to remain at home for some
time but feels that while the acci
dent was severe enough it did not re
sult in more serious injury.

The Plattsmouth Water Co.. pre

the First National bank had com
plied with the city demands with a
bond some months ago and the state
banks were not required to supply a
bond owing to the state guaranty

of Councilman Tidball was finally
passed.
On the passage of the resolution
formal application to be designated
