NO 88 Colored Auto Party in Wreck Near Union Party Bound From Omaha to Lin coln One Man Fatally Injured, Dies on Way to Hospital Saturday night at 11 o'clock a very severe auto accident occurred at the end of the paving on highway No. 75 just east of Union when an auto party of seven men and two women, all negroes, had their car overturn and as the result of which one of the men was fatally injured and one woman had her back injured badly. The first intimation that Union people had of the accident was when a man came to the Ed Leach home near the corner and asked for help and at once assistance was called from Union to take the two injured members of the party on into Union where Dr. Claybaugh and Dr. G. H. Gilmore of Murray were called to aid in dressin gthe injuries and giv ing what aid was possible. It was found one man was very badly in jured and who with the most severe ly injured woman were started to the hospital at Lincoln by a car from the Burbee garage but before reaching Lincoln the colored man, Ernest Grimm, died and the woman was in serious condition when the hospital was reached. Iowa tourists going through were able to take a part of the auto party on with them to Lincoln and the re mainder of the party waited at Union until Sunday until the friends from Lincoln could drive down for them. The car which the party was driv ing was a 1929 Buick sedan and was registered in the name of Mrs. Daisy Anderson and the auio seemed to be from Hemingford, Nebraska. The party had come from the north toward Union and members of the party were unable to give much de tail of the accident save that the car had turned over twice and was left standing on its wheels in the paved highway and headed north. The names of the other parties were not secured by the Union -people in the excitement of the accident and the county officers not notified of the accident. MANY ENJOY GAME The football game Sunday at the athletic field was very largely at tended, the pleasant weather making it more enjoyable for the fans to enjoy the event. The local Athletics had dated the Tenth Street Athletics of Omaha as their opponents for the game but Sat urday received a cancelation of the game and therefore had to fill the vacant date in order to carry out the contest, proceeds of which were to go to the Associated Charities, and in response to their appeal a team composed of a number of the players of the Anderson Printing Co., and other young stars, made the trip here to battle for the sake of the un fortunates. The score of the battle was 20 for the locals and nothing for the visit ors who were handicapped by lack of team practice but gave the fans their money's worth in the game. In the visitors lineup Master, Frank Koch and Anderson played the chief game and showed up well. For Plattsmouth, Homer Spangler, former high school star, electrified the crowd in the second down of the game when he intercepted a pass of the visitors and raced through for a touchdown and later received the pass over the line for the additional point. Frank Krejci also added to the interest of the game by racing down the field for a touchdown on a pass. The playing of Herald was also of a high standard. The Athletics had a new face in their lineup. George Stoll, of the 1930 Platters, playing the center position in fine shape. As the result of the game the As sociated Charities will receive a very neat sum to be applied on the work of the organization and going a long ways toward helping out on their work. EARL WOLFE INJURED From Monday's Dally Earl Wolfe, prominent young farmer residing southeast of Murray, was seriously injured this morning at 11:30 when the truck he was driving was overturned and the young man suffered internal injuries, the full extent of which have not been determined and the victim of the accident is under the care of Dr. G. H. Gilmore of Murray. Mr. Wolfe, who was hauling corn for Will Cook, a neighbor, was driv ing his truck south on No. 75 and started to turn east at the John Hob scheidt corner, the truck overturning and the driver caught in the wreck age.

Just a few realize that it is also a land that during the win ter months has days in which there is no sun and weeks during which the sun is visible for just a few hours each day. Few travel in the arctic I during the winter months and it will surprise even those who have visited the north in the summer and have at midnight seen a great red sun right on the edge of the horizon rise snowly instead of going out of sight as the evening sun always does at your home, to find that Santa Claus on his trip will have to travel for the first few days through the darkness of night. Now it will not always be totally dark but even in the very mid- del of the day at noon, it will be lit tle better than twilight and only for a couple ot nours win the twnignt period last. The rest of the time it will be quite dark. Each day the twi light period will get longer and then real daylight comes for a few minutes at noon and the sun will each day appear for a little longer period. As spring comes and passes and summer approaches the sun shines for longer and longer periods each day until in the middle ofJur.e for a few days it may be seen every hour of the day, even at midnight. Santa Claus will have to travel during the very short days and your children who worry about the long evenings in the winter will understand that Santa Claus is often sad and impat ient when he has to spend hours and hours traveling through darkness. But he is helped sometimes by the wonderful moonlight nights, nights often as bright, almost as day. Some times too, his way Is lighted oy the beautiful northern lights. Santa is on his long, long journey to Plattsmouth.

The in terior of the building has been re modeled and redecorated, papered in the pastel shades while the flooring is of this same tone plan. This flooring is one of the most at tractive in the city, the linolieum being laid by Russ Todd, who is an expert in this line and Its fine ap pearance has drawn many favorable remarks of the perfect manner in which it was placed. The rear portion of the office sec tion of the new building will be occupied by the large office supply and furnishing department which it has not been possible to properly dis play heretofore, here there will be carried a full and complete line of all kinds of office equipment and furnishings from pens to all kinds of office blanks, typewriter paper, files, carbons and all of the neces sary articles that may be required in a modern office. The attractive cases and fittings also adds much to the general ap pearance of the new room. The printing plant itself will take up the entire building on the west side, the composing section of the job department occupying that part of the room heretofore used as an office, while the additional room also will permit the enlarging of the com posing and ad room of the Evening Journal, this being re-arranged in such a manner as to give the great est possible convenience for the handling of the work in the printing department.

CLOSE FOR WINTER The pits of the Lyman Richey Sand & Gravel Co., situated Just north of this city, have been closed down for the winter season and only a few of the workmen are still en gaged in looking after the care of the plant. The closing of the pits makes a great deal of difference in the work of the Burlington here as in the working season there are from 100 to 140 cars of sand and gravel haul ed through this city dally, making it possible to maintain a sand train crew for this work. The result has been that the closing down of the sand pit work has caused this train crew to be laid off and the men who comprosed this crew are bumping their fellow laborers on other lines of the train service. The winter season causes all road work of any extent to be checked In the north and the demand for the gravel and sand has commenced to drop off in the first days of the late fall when road work was checking up. The exceptionally fine weather this year caused the Band pit work to run over much longer than in the past years. The work will be re sumed as early as possible when the passing of the winter permits the resumption of the road program in the northern states.
