IoUS INJURIES IN a RUNAWAY
Horse Frightened by Automobile
is Cause of the Little Boys
Serious Accident

Tuesday afternoon about 5
o'clock, Benny Werner, the IA
year old son of Ernest Werner,
accompanied by his brother Hen
~ and Harold Miller, were driv-
ing along Wilson street, near the
ball park, when their horse be-
came frightened at an automo-
bile. In the runaway which fol-
lowed, the right shaft of the
buggy dropped and the vehicle
was overturned and the occupants
thrown out. Harold and Henry
escaped with only few scratches.
but when they reached their COM
rade, he was found unconscious
and badly bruised about the head.
He was taken to his home and
DIR. BooSe summoned. At first it
was feared the injuries might
prove fatal as the little fellow did
not regain consciousness until
the following morning. AT this
time however, it is thought there
will be no serious results, and
while he will be conhned to the
home for some time, it is hoped
there will soon be a complete re-

A GOOD WOMAN GONE
Mrs. Edward Morrison is One of
Deaths Victims This Week

Mrs. Edward Morrison died at
her home, six miles southwest of
Falls City, on Saturday, Septem-
Der 10, 1908, aged SO years, 3
months and ? days.
Why death should claim one SO
much needed in this world, and
when in the prime of life, is one
Of the mysteries which can only
be made known in the future.
Leaving as she did, loving hus-
band and family of little ones,
who just now require a mothers
care and guidance, the vacancy
thus caused is one which can new
er be filled.
Just five weeks ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Morrison were called upon
to give up their baby, and at
that time the mother contracted
rheum matism and has been a great
sufferer since, death being caused
by the disease going to the heart.
Just seventeen years ago, Lin
ME Eakins became the happy
bride of Edward Morrison. To
this union seven children were
born, of the SIX living, the oldest
is but 10 and the Youngest o.
She had always been a faithful
wife and loving mother. unselfish
to a fault and with no thought
save for her family, and the grief
which they now experience can
only be lessoned by time.
The funeral service was held
Monday afternoon from the fam
lily home, conducted by the Breth-
rem minister of Morrill,. Kas.
and was largely attended by the
sorrowing friends and neighbors.
Interment was made in the Steele
cemetery.
To the breaved ones the Tri-
bune joins with many in extend
ing deepest sympathy.

was also a guest on this occasion.
Mrs. Martin kanaly was the
victim of a pleasant surprise on
Tuesday evening, perpetrated by
the many friends as a farewell be
fore leaving for her new home in
South Dakota. As prearranged,
Mrs. Kanaly had been invited to
go riding, and when she returned
it was to find her home occupied
by about thirty ladies. The sur
prise was complete and SO great
as to almost overwhelm the vic
tim, but she proved herself equal
to the occasion and made all feel
their welcome. At an opportune
time, Mrs. w. H. Kerr, on behalf
of the guests, presented Mrs.
Kanaly with a handsome mantle
clock, as a slight token of their
high esteem. She spoke with
feeling of the separation about
to take place, and Of the many
silent messages of love and cheer
which the constant tick of the
clock was intended to convey to
her in her western home, Mrs.
Kanaly endeavored to thank her
friends, but it was a silent min
CLING of tears which was more
eloquent than words. The even
ing was then given to a general
good time, and after partaking
of nice refreshments. the guests
departed for their several homes,
each wishing their hostess hap
py life in her new home.

THE LEAoUERS WIN IN a 2 TO
o GAME
Results of Other Games Played BY
Falls C ity Boys During the
Past Week


and gone, taking with them two
nice scores and leaving to oul
boys nine big goose eggs as d
souvenir of the day 1t wasn't
hardly a fair exchange, but the
big crowd was satisfied and
more firmly convinced than ever
that we have a fine bunch OF
bali players.
The visitors scored in the first
aud again in the fourth, and
that's all they did do.
The only real chance we had
for scoring was in the seventh
when Tommy Poteet put on one
of his stunts and made long
drive for third, and then-well
he didn't receive the proper
coaching and they caught him
at the home plate, 1t was an
awful disappointment, but that's
base ball.
The visitors made five hits off
OF Kelsey, while the colts found
the Lacquer for four good ones.
The game was replete with
double plays on both sides,
while the fielding was of the
best. Heck, Ed. Poteet. Tom
Poteet and Kelsey each have a
hit to their credit and are Justly
proud.
Talk about fast ball. The
game was played IN one hour
and ten minutes, and that is
about as fast as any of them can
go.s
There was a good crowd in
attendance and all were glad to
be there, and even if we did lose
we are proud of our boys and
the showing they made.
Score by innings:
Omaha L 0 0 1 0 0 O o 0
Falls City. @ Q % 0O00 0
Umpire-George Segrist.
Time of game, one hour and
ten minutes.
Poteet, Kelsey, Heck, Heacock
and Foehlinger went to Robinson,
Kas., Saturday, where the three
former figured in the line up of
the Robinson-Severence game.
Heck played third for Severence
and Poteet in his usual position
for sRobinson, while Kelsey was
on second. 1t was a great game
so they say, resulting IN a score
of II to 0 in favor of Robinson.
Poteet never will forgive Heck
for throwing him out at home in
that mean way.
The Colts played a return game
with Everest at that place on
Sunday, and played one of their
star games, shutting Everest out
in a score of , to 0. Kelsey
pitched the game of his life, al
lowing but one scratch hit in the
ninth inning. Everest played
good ball, too, and altogether il
was fine exhibition. but they
will have to admit that our boys
are just little bit the best play.
