HAS UNUSUAL ACCIDENT
From Thursday's Dally
A driver of one of the Yellow
Way passenger buses to Kansas City,
passing through this city, had a
rather unusual accident here last
evening that made necessary the call
ing of medical ail and several
stitches to be taken in the face of the
driver. The bus when near the Ma
sonic Home en route south, had one
of the tires go down and which made
necessary the changing to one of
the extra tires carried for an emer
gency. As the tires were being transfer
red, a job that is no small one, as
the large and heavy tires require the
efforts of two men to place in posi
tion, it was found necessary to force
the tire on and the driver was using
a chisel to help force on the tire and
us he was chipping at the rim the
chisel slipped and the sharp point.
hit the tire and caused it to blow
out. The heavily charged tire blew
up in the face of the driver and his
face was torn and lacerated by par
ticles of the tire that were driven
with considerable force in the face
r.f th driver. Medical aid was called
and the cuts found to be such that
several stitches had to be taken, and
the bus nartv was delayed for some
time before the journey could be re
sumed and the tire replaced as well
as the injured driver repaired.

Cache of Hootch
is Uncovered at
Louisville Today
Carton of Eighteen Full Pints and
Four Empties Found at Room
of Louisville Man.
From Thursday's Daily
This morning on a report from
Louisville of the eristence of a stock
of the illicit "hootch." Deputy Sher
iff Young and Sam Reed, drove out
to the cement city and later return
ed bearing a carton containing eight
een full pints and six empties of
what to all intent and purpose was
booze.
The stock was found at the room
occupied by Howard Means, one of
the men employed in construction
work at the new Ash Grove cement
works and from the potent odor of
the liquor was about as bad as the
moonshine ever shone on.
The euthorities when reaching the
scene where the supposed cache was
located, found that the place was
locked up and which made necessary
a hurried trip to secure a search war
rant to gain entrance legally to the
place of concealment and there the
deputy sheriff and Mr. Reed discov
ered the bottled essence of the corn.
The consignment of liquor was
brought in by Mr. Young while the
young man charged with the owner
ship of the liquor was brought In by
Mr. Reed and lodged in the county
jail for safekeeping until the case
could be disposed of and formal com
plaint filed against him under the
law for the possession of the liquor.
The gentleman against whom the
charge of ownership of the liquor
was made, is one of the boss car
penters engaged in the construction
work at the big cement plant and he
entered a denial of any intention of
sale of the liquor.
A QUIET PLACE
The Cass county court house is
suffering with the general summer
period of quietude and while the
routine work goes on in the various
offices, the visitors to the county
building from outside points are. few
and far between, the only variation
of the day being the occasional visit
of some of the members of the bar
to see how their various cases in the
courts aro progressing or to file some
motion or objection to cases now on
the docket.
One office however, has no rest,
either winter or summer, that being
the office of County Treasurer John
E. Turner, there the genial treasurer
and his force are kept at top speed
whether the snowflakes are beating
against the windows or they are com
pelled to stop to wipe away the pres
piration of the intense hot summer
days. The county treasurer has an
office where there- is nothing but
work and that does not mean maybe
With the amount of business that is
handled In the county treasurer's of
fice if it were some private company
or business there would be a great
many more to handle the work and
also the salary would be more than
doubled. The splendid service that
this force gives the county is worth
many times what they receive and
how they manage to do it is a real
question in the mind of the visitor to
this office.

WASHOUTS BLOCK TRAFFIC
From Friday's DaJlj
The Burlington railroad line
through this city was blocked this
morning as far as passenger traffic j
was concerned, the washing out of,
a part of the track near La Platte i
1 being the cause of the interference
'with the train service.
Eastbcund trains No. l and No. '
6 were sent via Council Bluffs and i
the west bound passenger No. 15.
due here at 8:10 a. m. was annulled
and the train sent .over the Kansas
City line from Pacific Junction to i
.Council Bluffs. The railroad had a :
.force of workmen on the scene of the j
'damage occasioned by the heavy
.rain last night and who had the dam-!
.age repaired Dy mi, turnoon an(iJiss Thelnia Kroehler and Mr
traffic resumed over the line be
J tween this city and Omaha. The
snort line by tne way o: Louisville
and Ashland was not damaged and
the freights routed this way were
able to get through without trouble.
Heavy Rain in
Eastern Portion
of Nebraska
Heated Spell Broke by Rainfall That
Almost Equals Rain of Two
Weeks Ago.
From Friday's Daily
The heavy electric and rain storm
that swept over eastern Nebraska
last night, struck this city at 1:30
this morning and a very heavy rain
fall soon brought a great volume of
surface water down into the main
part of the city, but which was hand
led in fine shape by the box sewers
along north Sixth street and which
were kept open by members of the fire
department who were called onto the
Job as the waters continued to rise.
The heavy rain soon brought a
very heavy overflow from the south
portion of the city and the Chicago
avenue sewer was soon overflowed
and with the large, amount of wa
ter from the hills brought the wa
ter along South 6th street up to the
curbs but very'-littl cime into Main
street. This water had hardly re
ceded when the sewer on Washing
ton avenue overflowed and soon made
a small sized river of North 6th
street, the water sweeping along
rapidily and filling the box sewers
to their capacity, but these aids in
flood prevention were able to carry
off the water without any loss.
The continuation of the rain how
ever, for ten or fifteen minutes long
er would have resulted in an over
flow that might have done damage to
some of the busiess houses along the
threatened area, but fortunately the
menace of the overflow was pas.sed
without loss.
A large truck of hogs, headed for
the Omaha market, was caught in
the storm here and barely escaped
being caught in the overflow of
North 6th street, seeking refuge at
the McCarty & White filling station
until the high water subsided. The
belated auto parties that were out
in the storm had a great deal of
trouble in getting through as the
storm was general through this part
of the state and the rain one of the
heaviest.
Heavy rainfalls in Omaha and Ne
braska City were reported, that did
some damage to property and at
Omaha the Sells-Floto circus that
was loading after the evening per
formance had some loss as the result
of the storm.
R. 0. T. C. E0YS RETURN
From Friday's Daily
This morning for a few moments
the streets of this city echoed to
the tramp of the hob nailed shoes
of the doughboy, a reminder of the
time ten years ago when many mil
lions were marching, marching on
ward in camp and on the battlefields
of France. The group of the R. O.
T. C. students comprising members
of the training corps from various
schools and colleges and a few vet
erans of the world war and the na
tional guard, who have been shoot
ing on the local rifle range as a part
of their training period, broke camp
and hiked back to Fort Crook.
The marching hosts contained
members from both Iowa and Nebras
ka as well was evidenced from the
songs as the troops at- route step
moved through the main streets of
the town as "Ioway." that's where
the tall corn grows" was shouted
by the loyal sons of the hawkeye state
while the remainder of the march
ing column of Nebraska men voiced
their sentiment we don t give a
d
for the whole state of Ioway."
The marching columns, the songs
were vivid reminders to the old vets
of the world war of the ditties and
6ongs that made the hiking trips
more pleasant and whose lyrics were
sometimes more snappy than choice.

YOUNG MEN DENATURED
From Friday's Dail

ershal and Pickrel received a mes
sage from west Oak street in the vi
cinity of the Missouri Pacific cross
ing, that two men were lying in the

they had been lying there for some
little time when the residents of
that locality first noticed them. j
The police on their arrival found
that the two men had been able to I
crawl into the Ford touring car
standing nearby and were not dead
but in an advanced state of intoxi
cation as the result of a denatured
alcohol jag. The parties were two
young men, apparently eighteen or
nineteen years of age and in the car
they had two bottles of the de
natured alcohol which they had ap
parently bought at Humbolt, Nebras
ka. The condition of the two young
men was such that the police called
Dr. O. C. Hudson, city physician,

their condition to some extent but
they were in bad shape and could
give little to the police as to their
names or residence, but it was learn
ed that they had been going through
