original settlers of Minnesota who
came over in the first Norseman ex

disporting himself at different times,
but it remained for the Plattsmouth
fisherman to actually come to grips
with the dweller of the lake.
Mr. Egenberger had taken a fine
array of fishing tackle to the lake
with him for the purpose of tackling
the game fish. One day while out
on a fishing trip he had the famous
mysterious fish on the hook It is re
ported, but the fish got away and
took with him the hook, line and
pole. Some of the party claim the
fish was so large that it swallowed
the pole, but you can believe that
or not. However, the party had a
fine time and caught a great array
of fish.

Immanuel hospital at Omaha occur

ran into a large pile of gravel on
highway No. 75 with the result that
Mr. Gansemer was hurled into the
framework of the car and sustained
injuries from which he was unable

impossible to fill and this loss one
that only the healing touch of time
can soften to the bereaved family.

ments.

especially in the traffic along high

part of the way from Omaha to

Douglas county has just been given
a slight coat of gravel and tihs has
been largely absorbed by the wet
soil and makes the travel rather dis
agreeable as the slick condition of the
road makes it hard to keep the cars
and trucks in the road. The detour
through this county has several fills
and new pieces of road building that
in the rain has grown rather soft
and adds to the perils of the auto
drivers.
