Missouri Pacific tracks at Murray,
connecting the same w-ith grades
which will extend a good distance
each way, to the lumber yard on the
west and cast to the crest of the hill
near Frank Mrasek's, were over to
the river look ing for a good place
tor a bridge, which would make
the road shorter and stralghter to
ronnect in Iowa with a route to the
cast. It would seem that the present
bridge near Plattsmouth would serve
the best interests cf the traveler and
not cai:se the additional cost with
a new bridge. Howevc timo will
demonstrate w:hich is the best.
Burned Hole in Ground.
Albert Young in 1934 buiit a silo
which was 28 feet deep In the ground
and which was used but was discon
tinued to be used some time ago. It

ed to cover the place with dirt and
farm over it. An auto tip was add
ed which protruded and as it appear
ed some grass grew. Fred Drucker
cast a match in the hole which caused
the contents ot burn for the past sev
eral days and the earth which was
even with the top of the ground
sank 14 feet, which will take a great
deal of dirt to fill it up -'.gain.
Still Remains Very Poorly.
Uncle J. D. Lewis wl.o has been
kept to his bed at the home of his
son, LloyJ Lewis, where he h.is been
nursed by Mrs. Lloyd Lew Li and as
well his daughter, Mrs. Earl Meiritt,

hopes of his relatives that he might
show some indications of improve
ment. Duilding a New Barn.
