The matter of the graveling of
the county highway which has been
urged very strongly in the past sev
eral months with the presentation of
the plan for the creation of a county
system of graveled highways on town
to market roads, which was featured
in the move for graveling of the
I.iouisville road from this city to
Louisville, has been under consider
ation by the board of county com
missioners for some time and which
has been given definite action by the
board of commissioners at their an
nual meeting held a few days ago.
The board of county commission
ers at their meeting adopted the fol
lowing resolution that pledges the
county to a fifty-fifty division of the
expense of the graveling on any road
that may be desired to have graveled
and which is a definite record of the
stand of the commissioners on the
matter of the county road graveling:
Resolution.
Whereas, the County of Cass has
funds available that could be used
for graveling county roads, and
Whereas, the Board of County
Commissioners are willing to help on
a graveling program;
Therefore be it Resolved by the
Board of County Commissioners of
Cass county. Nebraska, that the
county furnish half the expense as
long as funds are available, to gravel
on County Roads to connect towns
to gravel on Federal, State or County
Roads.
The plan being to connect all
feeder roads to the main highway,
the county paying half the expense,
and the other half to be furnished
locally by donation or precinct tax.
Moved by Harris, seconded by Gor
der that the resolution be adopted
this 18th dayof June. 192S. ,

northwest of this city. With his wife
being shot Thursday night and him
self and little daughter having a
close call, his home riddled with
shots from a shot gun, Fritz yester
day had another misfortune befall
him. Mr. Siemoneit was turning the
stock out Sunday morning and which
included a team of mules that was
(not as gentle as he imagined and the
'mule launched a kick that registered
on the person of Mr. Siemoneit. The
kick struck Mr. Siemoneit full in
the face and aa the result he lost
several teeth as well as having his
face bruised and more or less skin
ned and cut up by the force of the
blow.

OVERCOME WITH GAS
From Tuesday's Dally
This morning Mrs. Hilt Martin and
two children, Donald and Shirley
Jean and Miss Fern Pace, had a very
close call from death as the result of
being overcome with monoxide gas
at the Martin home at 9th and Pearl
streets.
Mrs. Martin and Miss Pace were
in the basement of the home look
ing after some household work and
the two children had accompanied
them and were playing around while
the ladies were working. A gas heat
er and stove, to heat water had been
started by the ladies to aid in the
work of washing and they had paid
little attention to the stove or heat
er as both seemed to be doing all
right.
The first noticed of the deadly
work of the gas was when little Don
aid complained of being sick and
Mrs. Martin noticed that he was very
white and weak looking, and she
carried him ud to the main floor of
the home, still unaware of the cause
of the illness. On returning to the
basement Mrs. Martin found the lit
tle daughter collapsed on the floor
and Miss Pace in very serious shape.
Miss Pace grabbed up the little girl
and was able to stagger up the stairs
from the basement as Mrs. Martin,
also weakened by the gas collapsed
on the floor of the kitchen. The four
lay unconscious for eome time when
Mrs. Martin revived sufficiently to
reach the telephone and call her hus
band from his place of business, he
summoning a physician and hasten
ing home where the two children and
the ladies were found lying on thei
floor.
After medical aid was given the'
two little children responded very.
well to the treatment and were able
to be around, but Mrs. Martin and
Miss Pace are still confined to bed
and very seriously ill.
A few moments more in the gas
filled basement would have proven
fatal to all four of the family, there
is little doubt.
Mrs. Glenn Lockhart of Water
town, South Dakota, who has been
here visiting at the home of her par
ents, Mx. and Mrs. Oscar Gapen, has
returned to her home. Mrs. Lock-
hart made the trip by auto, and com-
ing here brought Mrs. Gapen home

Bearded Beauties
Get Trimmed on
Local Ball Lot
Eaton Fitches Bang Up Game and
Locals Win by Score of 3 to 2
Draw Big Crowd.
From Tuesday's Daily
The local baseball team last even
ing on the home lot amid a large
and enthusiastic crowd did the De
lilah act to the Bearded Beauties,
traveling baseball team of all stars,
and while whiskers may have made
Samson a whirlwind in his time,
they did nothing to stop the victory
of the Plattsmouth team, which
would have been even greater if er
rors had not helped the visitors grab
their two tallies in the third frame.
Jimmy Eaton, who had hurled the
game Sunday was again on the
mound for the locals and the willowy
hurler was all to the good and in
the closing innings made the visitors
dream of nights in the House of
David, so sweet was the hurling of
"Chicago Jimmy."
The Bearded Beauties opened the
game with a recent convert to the
cause on the mound, Jimmy Deal,
alias "J. Smith," shoving them over
the plate, but who was lifted by
Captain Finley of the visitors in the
sixth inning when the Plattsmouth
team took the lead, and Staples, a
mean pea ball artist was substituted
and made it look bad for the locals
at the start but gradually lost his
terror for the home boys, but at
that the Platters made nary a run off
of him aside from the daring steal of
home which Joe Krejci made while
Staples was going into a huddle with
himself before throwing the ball over
to Gansemer.
The second inning made it look
bad for the home boys and many of
the large and happy audience that
had breezed through the gate
thought that the contest was as good
as salted away by the boys with the
Vandykes, but anything can happen
and it did. Dunn opened the inning
for the visitors with a nice double
out in the territory of Joe Krejci,
but clear to the boards and was good
for two sacks, Barth was out on a
grounder, Eaton to O'Donnell and
then Distell allowed one to get away
from him, resulting in Dunn scor
ing. Finley, the scrappy catcher of
the visitors then rapped one to deep
left that brought in the remaining
run the last of the Bearded Boys to
come over the plate.
In the Plattsmouth half of the
fourth the hne folks began to sit
up and take notice, when Hans New
man doubled to center and was no
more than resting on second when
Ralph Gansemer, our youthful sec
ond sacker got dirty with the Deal
and also smacked a two bagger in
the same territory that scored Hans,
but in an attempt to steal third on
the signal of the coach, when Mason
was throwed out at first, Ralph per
ished. In the sixth there was hard luck
for the visitors when "Smith" became
wild and gave Bill O'Donnell his base !
on balls, and Bill pilfered second and
scored when Wabido made an error
of the grounder of Joe Krejci. Joe
was resting on third when Staples j
came in to pitch for the visitors and I
while Staples was winding up like;
the old fashioned eight day clocks,
Joe came home, with what was to
prove the winning run of the game.
After the fourth frame the visitors
had but one man on a base and he
did not stay long.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:

Fritz Soemoneit.
of
From Tuesday's Ta!ly
This morning Joe Altschaffle,
twenty-one year old youth, who on
last Thursday night made a savge
and brutal attempt to shoot to death
Mr. and Mrs. Fi'itz Siemoneit at
their country home near Cullom,
faced the bar of justice for his crime
and drew a sentence of nineteen
years in the state penitentiary at
Lincoln.
The charges preferred against
Altschaffle by County Attorney W.
G. Kieck were that of shooting with
intent to kill and shooting with in
tent to wound, Fritz Siemoneit.
There were no charges filed against
the young man on the charge of
shooting Mrs. Siemoneit pending the
out come of her case and should she
fail to recover from the wounds in
flicted, the charge of murder will be
preferred, but her case seems to be
progressing nicely and her recovery
is expected.
There were quite a number pres
ent in the vicinity of the court house
when Altschaflle, heavily manicled,
was brought from the jail by Deputy
Sheriff Young and Sam Reed and es
corted to the district court room for
the hearing as at the preliminary,
held late yesterday afternoon In the
county court the prisoner had been
bound over to the district court.
As Altschaffle has a very limited
knowledge of the English language,
he having been here but a year. Otto
Petereit was sworn in as interpreter
for the occasion and translated the
complaint and the remarks of the
court into the German for the pris
oner and the statements of Altschaf
fle into English.
On reading of the complaint the
prisoner entered a plea of guilty to
the charge preferred and 6aid he was
willing to take his punishment for
the crime. He stated that Mr. Sie
moneit and family had treated him
all right and he bore no ill will to
ward them. He denied any premedi
tation of the crime and stated that
he had not gone to bed and had then
waited around until 10 o'clock when
he started the shooting at the Sie
moneit home. In reply to the ques
tions of the court Altschaffle stated
that he would be twenty-one years
