G.A.R. Veteran
Attends Meeting
William Balfour of Nehawka Leave:
for the National Encamp
ment at Denver
Last Saturday William Balfour
eighty-three and one half years of
age, of Nehawka, . and one of the
valliant Americans who fought tc
dark days of . the Civil war, who was
a member of the 45th Illinois vol
unteers, and amember of Company J
which was raised ;xt Waukeegan, 111.
deported for Denver where he. went
to attend the National Encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Mr. Balfour after he had returned
from the war then just a young man
and entering into his twenties came
west and settled in" Otoe county
where he has resided for over sixty
years. He settled on a farm in the
early days of the , state, and has. re
mained there evr ; since. He said
had lived on the old home place for
a short time that he had learned to
love his . neighbois and the attach
ment . has grown ; so strong that he
had never any inclination to make
his. home elsewhere. During thv
years which has has resided in Ne
braska, he has never been called upon
to serve on a Jury, never attended a
law suit, never was sued or sued any
one else.
This is a wonderful record for an
excellent citizen which he it. '
While he lived on the farm for
these sixty years, and was during the
time within thirty miles of Platts
mouth, he was never there during the
forty-eight - years of his residence
during that time he had had no busi
ness there it being in another county
and he found it a good policy to keep
his nose out of places where he had
no business. He enlisted when quite
young, and it was through the In
fluence of his father who was r
lieutenant of the company, in which
he was also a member. Their ser
vice was mostly in Tennessee, they
fought at Ft. McHenry, Donaldson
and Shiloh, at the battle of Donald
son, the rather, James uauour was
wounded from which he recoverec
and at a later period, had an arm
shot off at the battle of Shiloh, and
was sent home on a furlough, and
the son our Wm. Balfour being sick
was also sent home with the fa
ther.
The father being very seriously
wounded, grew weaker as they neared
home, and at the station next to their
home expired, notwithstanding he
was fighting bravely to get home tc
the loved ones before the end.
ENTERTAINS AT BRIDGE
Saturday afternoon Mrs. James G.
Mauzy was hostess at a very pleasant
bridge party at her home on South
9th street and in which she was as
sisted by her mother, Mrs. J. H. Hall
strom and Mrs.. James T. Begley.
The home was prettily arranged
with the flowers of the season and a
very large number of the frlendf
were present to enjoy the afternoon
in the fascinations of the game.
At this, the second or the series of
very pleasant events given by Mrs
Mauzy, the playing resulted in Mrs
C. E. Hartford securing the high
score, Mrs. J. A. Griffin, second, and
Mrs. Allen J. Beeson, third.
The hostess surved very dainty and
delicious refreshments at an appro
priate hour that added to the en
Joyment of all those in attendance.
HAS HIS FIRST WRECK
Frank A. Cloidt, who recently pur
chased a new Buick car, is feeling
tkat he is now a real veteran auto
driver as he has experienced his first
auto accident and the once beautiful
car la a battle scarred veteran and
entitled to bear wound stripes. The
accident occurred yesterday on the
K. of T. highway when Fran and
the family were peacefully driving
along and had a car driven by some
Otoe county parties, plowed into the
fenders on the rear of the Cloidt car
No one was hurt fortunately and Mr.
Cloidt was given a real thrill at the
first accident. :
Plattsmoiith
Wins from the
Julian - -Essex
Eleven Inning Battle Goes to Local.'
5 to 4 Final Inning; Brings
. Score on Wild Heave
The old adage that the third time
is a charm worked on the Julian-
Essex baseball team of Omaha yester
day afternoon at, the local park when
the Platters nosed them out by a
score of 5 to 4, the Omaha team hav
ing , been victors in the two games
earlier in the season.
The visitors were on the lead the
greater part of the game and gam
ered fifteen hits as well as several
errors on the part of the locals tc
help them on and were still unable to
win altho Plattsmouth hit but seven
bingles off the delivery, of Monroe.
With the score tied in the eleventh
frame a bad throw from Monahan
to Tony and the return to home al
lowed Bill Distell to tally the win
ning run for the Plattsmouth team
n the gathering twilight and per
mitted the small but enthusiastic
crowd of fans to wend their way
homeward, Monroe starting the trou
ble when he gave Distell the base on
balls that spelled the undoing of his
team and the loss of the game.
The visitors were first to register
in the first of the' third inning when
Lairds gained first on the error of
Xt i s U U -a ad 'wf 3., rl fie g d -' io-'eecorid
by Tony, Monahan : following, with
a walk ' and on successive hits by
Davis and Wicker both Laird and
Monahan registered at the plate.
After the third the game was see
saw back and forth with the visitorr
hitting freely but unable to get any
where and both drawing many free
trips to the inital sack.
In the last of the sixth inning the
Platters took the lead when three
runs came over the plat to threaten
the chances of the Omaha ball tos-
sers. i McCarthy opened with a fly tc
third .and was followed by Distel!
he aCied av stolen base. r&hirley was
out on a grounder, Monroe to Wicker
and then Hans Newman picked on one
of . the slants . of the Omaha hurlei
for two bags and scored, Distell and
when Trumble hit to center Hanr
came ; home. O'Donnell was hit bj
Monroe and Spidell and lvoboda were
each given a free trip to first. Trum
ble being able to score when Monahan
threw wild to third to ciktch the run
ner. This ended the scoring as Mason
was struckout.
In the- seventh the visitors tied up
the score when Monaha:a opened the
Inning with a safe blow to left and
was followed by Davis with an out
at right on a long fly. Wicker was
to right Monahan ""scored" and the
game was again tied up.
Both teams had men on the sacks
in the succeeding innings but were
unable to connect with the scoring
and at the ninth inning the tie con?
tinued and forced the game into the
extra frames. Both teams scored one
each in the tenth.
In the first of the eleventh the vis
itors were able by errors to get the
first two men up on bases but were
unable to score as Trumble threw
Steak out at first and struck out Mon
roe while Bill Mason gathered in the
fly or Laird in center field.
Plattsmouth opened in the eleventh
with Distell getting a welk and being
able to pilfer second while Klauschie
was striking out and Newman secured
a walk. When Trumble grounded to
Smith at short the chances of the
locals looked bad with two gone, but
Distell playing off third drew the
fire of Monahan who made a poor
throw and Distell started home, the
return of Tony going wide and allow
ing the runner to score and the game
was all over.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows: .

Bridge Over
Missouri River
Not Far Distant
Word of Approval of Plans by Kansas
City Department Means Work
May he Started Soon.
From Tuesday's Dally
The auto and wagon bridge that is
the span the Missouri river at this
place has progressed a step farther
to the time when the contract can be
let and actual work on the structure
commenced and the matter will be
pushed now in the hope of having
the main piers of the' bridge placed
before the first of the year.
The representatives of the War de
partment who held"ythe hearing at
Kansas City, Mo., a few weeks ago,
have approved the plans and the re
quest of the Plattsmouth Bridge com
pany for the location of the new
bridge south of the present Burling
ton bridge and their approval will
doubtless be ratified by the War de
partment at Washington when the
plans arrive there for the considera
tion of the final heads of the depart
ment.
The bridge company is all ready
with their plans and specifications to
let the contract for the bridge as soon
as the final approval is granted and
the plans for the bridge have been
submitted to the great international
ly k.n oTOZflrnr nf pnjitt"rttoTtry &
neers, Modjeska & Chase, of Phila
delphia, whose work has been gener
ally recognized by the War depart
ment In projects of this kind.
The bridge plans are prepared by
some of the leading engineers of the
country . and provide for a bridge of
the latest type with concrete roadbed
and which will be some 200 feet in
height from the top of the steel su
perstructure to the base of the main
piers which will rest on bed rock.
The piers placed over the navig
able portion of the river will stand
53 feet above the level of the water,!
while on the west approach the pier
will taeasure some 73 feet aboi'e te
wtv.,The jridge will, have grad
ual slope from the west approach to
the Iowa side of the . river.
The arrangements for the highway
that leads . to the bridge are now in
process of negotiation and will pro
vide for a very- beautiful river drive
over the top of Wlntersteen hill to
the bridge, as far as the present plans
are concerned, but the roadway may
be changed to give the best possible
routing into the city.
On. the east side of the river, the
bridge company plans an under track
crossing with the Burlington, but the
location of the highway on that, side
of the river depends greatly on the
desiresand wishe-f ihajQw&. peo
ple inwhose" territory the "road" Is
located.
The bridge company will keep in
close touch with the situation when
the plans reach Washington and hope
within the next two weeks to have
the final O K of the War department
on the plans and the location and
then the contract may be let and the
actual bridge construction be . but a
matter of a very short time.
Sidetracks for material . will be
built by the Burlington on both the
Nebraska and Iowa sides of the river,
so that the material can be hurried to
the scene and unloaded, and the total
amount of material used in construc
tion of the new bridge will be sev
eral trainloads. .
NOW JUDGE GRAVES
Attorney , Charles L. Graves has an
added distinction that has Just been
heaped upon him, as he is the defacto
police' judge of the City of Plattsmouth,-
being designated' by Mayor
John P. Sattler to serve in that ca
pacity while Judge William Weber
is confined to his home by illness.
The position Is not a new one to
Mr. Graves, however, as he was for
a number of -years the dispenser of
justice at Union and being a practic
ing attorney, his knowledge of - the
law .will make him especially valu
able in the offile. - .
The acting policer judge had hard
ly donned the judicial -ermine when
he was confronted with a case aris
ing from some Nebraska City parties
having driven their auto through the
city at a speed greater than the law
allows. The parties had put up " a
bond for their appearance and as the
hodr for the answer of ihe defendants
passed, the bond was declared for
feited and the city was that much
richer as the result. .
EHXS LARGE SNAKE
From Monday's Dally -
Yesterday Dean Bogenreif and Mel
vin Barr and sister, Miss Elsie, had
an experience with a native rattler
in the vicinity of King hill where
the members of the party were enjoy
ing a short outing. The snake was
killed by Dean and measured some
three, feet in length, was five Inche?
through and had eleven rattlers . and
a button, indicating, so the residents
there stated, that . the -snake was
twelve -years of age. - This is the Sec
ond snake of this kind, that has been
killed in this summer, in that locality,
the first one having -had fourteen
of the rattler.
PLATTSMOUTH LOSES OPENER
From Monday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon the Platts
mouth football team motored over
to Malvern, Iowa, to tangle with the
town team at that place. The result '
was Malvern 19, Plattsmouth 0. J
This is the first game that the lo-
cal3 have played and their lack of
practice and working out was evident
in the attacks of the Iowa player?
and who found but little difficulty in
getting away with the locals.
However, Malvern has a real team,
the boys report, an average of 190
on the team and the greater part of
the players former college footbal'
men while the local team is composed
largely of shop
employes and whe
have but little time to get their prac-
tice. However, the games from now
on will take on another aspect a?
the locals become more seasoned and
experienced.
