FIRE DAMAGES HOME
The residence property owned by
O. E. Finneyfrock on Wintersteen
Hill, was damaged by fire at 9 o'clock
Sunday morning. The fire seems to
have originated from an overheated
chimney that ignited shingles around
the chimney and made necessary
tearine out a laree section of the
smouldering wood.
The fire was first seen by neighbors
some distance away and the alarm
given. The neighbors responded and
their heroic work kept the fire from
spreading.
The fire under the roof required
the use of a great deal of water and
which caused some damage.

SUFFERS LACERATED HAND
Rex Bourne, while working at the
farm ot his brother-in-law, Lester
Gansemer, near Murray, suffered a

engaged in oiling a feed grinder
while it was in operation and his
Sum-(gloves were caught and drew his hand
into the machine. The first and mid
del fingers were badly cut and the
bones broken in the two fingers. The

Aged Man Ends
Life by Hanging
at Farm Home
Peter Prue, 81, Found Lifeless in
Garage at Home of Nephew Sun
day 111 Health Cause.
The lifeless body of Peter Prue, 81,
was found Sunday evening at 6:30
hanging from the rafters of the gar
age at the home of Jess Crooks, a
nephew, south of Union.
The aged man had been dead but
a short time when the discovery of
the body was made and while medical
aid was called at once, it was Impos
sible to revive Mr. Prue.
While he has complained of ill
health and the advancing years that
had made necessary his abandoning
ot many of his usual activities, he
had not given any intimation of the
rash act of ending his life.
Mr. Prue had partaken of the
breakfast and dinner as usual and
seemed in excellent spirits and it was
not until the approach of evening
that his failure to appear at the home
caused the apprehension of the fam
ily and the body was located in the
garage.
Ihe aged man had conversed with
the neighbors just a few hours before
the body was found and seemed to
be as usual and it was a'great shock
to learn a short time later that he
had ended his life.
He was unmarried and is survived
by only distant relatives.
It is expected that an inquest will
be held on Wednesday at Union to
hear the facts relating to the death
f the aged man.
HAS TRUCK BURNED
Sunday at the noon Tiour the fire
department was called to North 11th
street where the small truck of Jess
Warga, parked in front of the
home was found in flames. Mr. Warga
had used the truck during the morn-
ng and on his return home had left
it parked on the paving in front of
the house. Sometime later while Mr.
and Mrs. Warga were at dinner, i
passerby called at the house and in
formed them that the truck was burn
ing. The fire, caused it is thought by
defective wiring, had Ignited the
gasoline and the blaze was shooting
up in the air when discovered and
the cab of the truck practically de
stroyed. The fire was finally checked
but only after a great deal of damage
had been done to the truck and
whether it can be repaired for ser
vice is doubtful. The loss of the fire
will be quite heavy to Mr. Warga, as
there was little insurance on the
truck.

Dr. G. H. Gilmore, of Murray, who
has long been a student of the pre-
historic dwellers of Nebraska and
the plains country, also having un-
covered a number of Indian villages,
visited the scene Monday and today.
Dr. Gilmore states that the shovel
type of the teeth indicate that the
early dwellers had been grain eaters,
the smooth under surface of the teeth
also being another indication of this
fact.
The doctor is of the opinion that
the bones are the remains of a people
that resided in this part of the west
before the coming of the red man.
The type of burial Is what Is
known as bundle burying, the skele-
tons being exposed to the air and
elements until they are bleached and
are then sorted out and placed in
the graves, a large number of the
bodies being placed In one grave.
Burial at a cliff edge was another of
the customs of these early people in
the opinion of the Murray scientist,
after observations of many grave
excavations.

City Planning
Committee Has
Many Projects
Suggestions Prepared to Submit for
Future Action in Improving
City and Its Settings.
The city planning committee, of
which A. L. Tidd is the chairman,
has prepared resolutions that will be
presented to the city government as
the suggestions of the body for fu
ture Improvement projects over the
city.
All of the suggestions in the reso
lutions worth while projects that
would be of lasting Improvement to
the city and when it is possible
should be taken up and given prompt
action.
One of the proposals is that of
the city acquiring the former Elks
building on Sixth street, which struc
ture i3 rapidly deteriorating and
while formerly one of the handsome
structures in the business section, is
now in very bad shape. This build
ing is urged as a possible site for a
Y. M. C. A. and for the Cass County
Historical society, or to be used as a
city hall.
The board also is urging that the
WPA project for a sunken garden at
12th and Main streets be pushed to
completion and work started as soon
as possible.
The planting of trees over the city
to replace those killed by the drouth
this past summer is also one of the
improvement plans urged, individuals
and societies being urged to see that
more trees are planted.
The committee also urges that the
old one story building on the school
campus, once usea ior nign scnooi
purposes, be repaired and placed in
shape for use Instead of going to ruin,
that it be converted Into a museum
or community building.
The rock surfacing of Lincoln ave
nuse from Third street south to the
Intersection of highway No. 75, is
also urged as a public improvement
project, thi3 being important as the
BREX shops and the Norfolk pack
ing plant are located along that
thoroughfare.
The landscaping of the grounds of
the Columbia school is urged by the
committee as a part of the program
of making the city more attractive to
the visitors.
