The young man with a party of

when their car was wrecked near the
J. C Lemon farm north of Green
wood in collision with a truck driven
by Peter Ditdenber of Lincoln.
The truck was coming from Oma
ha, Mr. Ditdenber operating a line
from Lincoln to Omaha and was on
one of the regular trips at the time.
The truck had come across an over
head bridge and the driver claims
to have been blinded by the lights
of an approaching car and coming
on the car driven by young McCauley
struck the rear portion of the left
side of the car overturning it. A
Ford roadster was close behind the
McCauley car and which was also
overturned and the truck then crash
ed into the ditch on the right hand
side of the road.
There were six of the occupants of
the two cars injured and McCauley
so severely that he died a few hours
later at the hospital at Council Bluffs
where he was taken.
Shortly after the accident State
Sheriff W. C. Condit, returning from
Omaha, came on the scene and at
once started an investigation of the
accident and reported the matter to
the office of Sheriff Bert Reed here.

were taken to Council Bluffs to view
the body of the dead youth.

the case determined as to the causes
"or liability for the accident.
PLATTS TIES VALLEY
The Plattsmouth town football
team Sunday again tied with their
ancient foes, the Valley, Nebraska,
team on the enemy court, the final
score being 6 to 6.
The Valley team was battling with
the wind in their favor and were
able to punt into Plattsmouth terri
tory, holding the locals for downs
and by their battering attack were
able to advance to within striking
distance of the Plattsmouth goal
where on the fourth down the ball
was shoved over the line.
The Plattsmouth score came as the
result of a drive down the field in
which the Platts veterans looked
much better than their foes and the
interference and fight of the local
linesmen. Chet Renner, Dick March,
Katie. Frank Sedlacek. Louis Svo
boda. Bernard Smith, Henry Krejei.
Don Schneider and Carl Keil. made it
possible for the backtield to advance
with the ball. The score was made
when George Sedlacek plunged seven
yards through the Valley defense for
the coveted six points.
The game was largely straight
football, altho the locals completed a
beautiful pass from Herold to March
for a great gain.
The work of Smith and Svoboda
on the line and Herold and Sedlacok
in the backfieQd were factors in the
scoring as well as in the defense of
the locals.
