as their guest for a few days, Mrs.

and where she passed away, leaving
her estate to the niece and who has
been at Paris, looking after the
handling of the estate through the
French courts and as well enjoying a
visit in England and at many points
in France.
One of the interesting features of
her trip was the visit to the World
war battle front in eastern France
where the notable battles have been
marked and monuments and ceme
teries mark where hundreds of thou
sand died in both the Allied and
German armies. She was one of a
large party of Americans from Paris
that visited the great cemetery at
Romange, where rest the greater
part of the American war dead. They
were at the cemetery on Memorial
day when General John J. Pershing,
the war time commander and chair
man of the American monuments
committee, dedicated the new chapel
that is a part of the tribute to the,
war dead. There were a great number j
of the Americans touring1 France tljat
joined in the patriotic demonstra
tion t tbe graves of the fallen feerces.
On her return from abroad Mrs.
Vaughn made tbe trip in the "Queen
Mary," the greatest of the western
passenger ships and a great city in!
itself.

for several feet and then overturned,
hurling the driver to the pavement
and the cycle then crashed onto him
Inflicting several cuts and bruises,
none of which fortunately were of
a serious nature.

Excavate House
of Indian Family
North of City
Archaeological Survey Along Platte
and Missouri Being Sponsored by
State Historical Society.
Excavation has been made on the
place north of Plattsmouth which is
farmed by George Stoue of an Indian
home. Five delegates from the arch
aeological survey of the Nebraska
State Historical society are uncover
ing houses along the lower Platte and
made this excavation during the past
week-end.
An investigation of the ancient In
dian home gives one an entirely dif-j
ferent conception of Indian life, j
Rather than a roving being, the In- j
dian is found to be a well-establish- j
ed people, engaged in agriculture.

In the house near this city, charred

were discovered. j
Excavations started the first of
April near Ashland under the direc
tion of A. T. Hill. The group have
worked down the Platte river, un
covering nine homes. This is the
last excavation on the Platte. The
group will now work along the Mis
souri to the Kansas boundary.
Homes such as these antidate the
arrival of the whites. Their ages are
estimated at seven or eight hundred
years, although it is very difficult to
determine the time in which they
were built.
During the rapid summer survey,
materials that are believed of any
significance are gathered and sent to
the state historical society to be
analyzed during the winter. Photo
graphs are made of the sites and
ground plan drawings are made. The
house north of the city is 24 by 27
feet and from 14 to 24 inches below
the level of the ground. The men
started the excavation here Satur
day morning. They expect to leave
this evening.

CAR SMASHES FENCE
Residents of North Ninth street
near the Tidball residence were wit
nesses Wednesday afternoon of some
very poor automobile driving and
which resulted in damage to the fence
at the Tidball residence.
A car occupied by two women came
from the west and the car was either
out of control of the driver or the
operator of the car was about the
worst In the world.
The car took a run for the fence
and crashed on into the Tidball yard
and for a few moments seemed like
ly to go Into the house, but finally
was stopped.
The parties in the car remained in
the car for several moments and then
drove off in the direction that they
had come from, apparently little con
cerned over the affair.
Residents of the locality took the
number of the car, 1-39775, as the
members of the Tidball family were
not at home at the time of the invasion.

Camping Out
Camping out is lots of fun;
Ue can play and jump and run;
And sleep in tents upon the ground
With wild animals prowling around
With just the fire to keep them away;
Sometimes you wish that it were day.
You can fish and cwim all day long
With merry laughter, shout and
song;
When the evening comes, and the
sun goes down,
We sit around the campfire on the
ground
Roasting apples so rosey and red
Till its time to go to bed.
We tell some stories so scary and real
Till it makes us shiver and squeal.
Oh! camping out is lots of fun.
And we are sorry when it is done.
