' SHAFFER FAMILY REUNION HELD AT THE OLD HOME FIVE MILES NORTH OF TOWN The Family Of Francis Shaffer Met Friday and Held a Fam ily Reunion | One of the most happy family I gatherings of the week occurred i last Friday at the old Shaffer I homestead, five miles north of town when the family of Francis Shaffer met in reunion at the old home where many of the family were born and most of them grew to manhood and womanhood. Over fourty persons attended the reunion iucludingMr. Shaf fer's family and a few close friends and relatives. It was an ideal day for such an assembly and the delightful weather, the glorious autumn .sunshine heightened the spirit of ' pleasure and enjoyment of all who were present and nothing was left undone that could add to the pleasure of the guests and make the day a memorable one. At twelve o’clock a bountiful dinner was served, the long table fairly groaning with the abund ance provided. From what we hear of the repast we venture to say that most likely most of the guests reached the groaning state also from the quantity and variety of the good things serv ed. The afternoon was a happy one all enjoying a real good, old fash ioned visit with plenty of games and amusements for the children, and all who cared to participate. It is over forty years ‘ since Mr. Shaffer, coming from Somer set county, Pa., settled on the old homestead, which is now occupied by his son, F. M. Shaffer. After his family had grown up and sev eral married, Mr. Shaffer gave tip the farm and moved to town to enjoy a well earned rest and the comforts that come from years of industry and frugality. Airs. Shaffer passed away sev eral years ago and perhaps the only cloud over the happy day was the absence of the mother, who had made the old farm home one of the happiest memories of her children. Six sons and one daughter, with eleven grand children and two great grand children were with Air. Shaffer upon this day. They were: Dr. C. P. Shaffer and family, Reedly, Cal.; Perry Shaffer and family, J. A. Shaf fer, Rico, Col.; Airs. 11. Al. Steidly, Ft. Collins, Col.; F. AI. Shaffer, Harry AT. Shaffer and wife, Reedly, Cal.; and Lloyd i Shaffer. Among the other guests were Air. Shaffer’s only sister, Airs. Charles Will, and the family of Ross Will, Harry Will and Airs. D Will and Will Stump, Air. and Airs. Willis Ankney, and Air. and Airs. Hillman of Lebanon, Kans. Moved to Denver.

If they decide to locate there per menantly their* household goods which aer stored here., will he shipped later. Charles wil lwork on the Denver News. They are leaving many friends here who wish them well and hope the change will be in every way ben eficial. Dr. Charles Shaffer and famil left Saturday for Aberdeem, S. D.

Was Returning Home from Town Saturday When Struck Con dition is Serious. Ernst Brackhahn, who for j years has lived across the Ne maha, a short distance west of the old Exchange mill, was struck by Burlington passenger No. 15 last Saturday as he was returning home and is very seriously hurt. His ankle is crushed, his collar bone broken and it is feared he has internal injuries of a serious nature. Mr. Brackhahn is used to traveling to and from town by the Exchange mill road; but the bridge being out he had to take the road farther west. He is not accustomed to going this road and knowing it was past train time, he paid less atten tion to the trains. A high hedge obscures an approaching train from the east and the team was upon the track before Mr. Brackhahn knew it was near. The frightened horses hesitated before dashing for ward and the rear end of the buggy was struck and smashed into kindling wood. The horses escaped uninjured, while Mr. Brackhahn was thrown up in the air. The train was stopped at once and the conductor had an auto sent for to bring the in jured man to town. Several persons saw the accident and hastened to his assistance. He was brought to the Moran hos pital, by his request, and his injuries were dressed. He is still in a serious condition. P. S. Heacock III. The friends of P. S. Heacock were astounded to learn that he had been stricken with heart failure last Friday evening and that his condition was very serious. He has been a sufferer from diabetes and rheumatism, and has not been well for some time, though the first of the week he was considered better. His children were sent for im mediately and a specialist, Dr. Bridges of Omaha, was called in consultation with Dr. Miner and Dr. Reneker. He remained until Monday. Mr. Heacock’s condition remains very grave, even though he has gained con siderably from the first attack. He is at least holding his own remarkably well and hopes are now entertained for his recov ery. Miss Kate Heacock, who has been in Porto Rico, sailed by the grst boat last Wednes day and will soon be at home. October Strawberries. Mrs. Martha Jones, who lives norlh of the Mission in the Third ward, sent to this office last Monday a fine bunch of strawberries and they were of fine flavor, too. There were ripe red ones, good sized white ones, green ones and prettv white blossoms. The crop has blossomed and matured since the late August rains. Mrs. Jones has our thanks for the remembrance. A Little Grand Daughter. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. SoVvles are very proud of the fact that they are now grand paernts. A little daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Hal Bowles of St. Joseph on Thursday, October G, 1910 which was also the second anniversary of the marriage of her parents. There is great happiness over the arrival of the little lady.
