Grave Revives
Memory of Pioneers
Skeleton of Man, Once Protected by
Armed Cowboy, is Dug Up
by Ditch Gang.

BRIDGEPORT. Neb., Aus. 2.-(special)
H. A. Notes force OF men unearthed
a human skeleton while at work widening
the Belmont canal west Of town on Tues
day and while nothing was found to iden-
tify the remains, 1t is believed to be all
that is left Of a cowboy who died and was
buried in that immediate Vicinity eight
cen years ago..
Whom the canal was being dug It is re-
memborEd that a cowboy named Bradley
warned the men employed in the work no,
to modest the grave OF his friend which
marked a spot across which the survey
ran.
II was proposed at that time to move
the body Of his friend to some other spot,
but Bradley would not agree to this and
1t is said he armed himself with guns
and ammunition and camped on the ground
TO protect the grave. AS a result a curve
was made in the ditch and the incident was
forgotten until in the work Of improving
the ana the bones were uncovered.
1t is remembered by some old settlers
hat a buryins ground was maintained
there years ago and that a score Of hardy
men we're laid to rest near that point. bui
the old cemetery is perhaps eighty rodt
from the spot where this skeleton was
found.
1t Is said that old Camp Clark furnish ed
a goodly portion OF the corpses that &c
to make up the ''city of the dead" n II
is remarkable that Just now when old
Camp Clark is about TO awaken to tho
sound Of the locomotive whistle that his
incident should occur to awaken the mem.

AUTO RUNS INTO DEEP GULLY
Miss IneG Purdys of Oakland Seriously
Injured Saturday Evening.

q. AAH - -
Injuries Saturday Evening.
Miss Inex Purdy Of Oakland. Ia. was
brought to the Jennie Edmundso Memo
rial hospital last evening suffering from
conclusion Of the brain, her conditio be-
ing due to an automobile accident late Sat
urday night. Up to a late hour last night
Miss Purdy had shown no signs of return
ing consciousness and grave fears are en-
tertained Of her recovery.
The accident in which Miss Purdy was
injured ccurred about three miles east
of McClelland. the party Of which the
young woman was a member being on their
way from kla to spend Sunday with
relatives in McClelland. In the party were
Ray Piles, owner of the touring car, who
was driving. Miss Purdy and her brother.
Milton Purdy, and two young women com
~panions named Carson. Miss Purdy is the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. ross Purdy,
w%ell-known resident Of Oakland, and she
and the other members of the party were
on their way TO spend Sunday with Kize
Purdy, who conducts a general store at
McClelland.
About three miles east OF McClelland the
bridge over a deep gully on the main road
had been broken down about a month ago
by a traction engine and the township
authorities had constructed a temporary
bridge some distance below, but had failed,
It is said, to place any protection at the
point where the old bridge had been. This
was unknown to Mr.. Piles, who was drfv-
ing the big touring car, and the conse-
quence was that the machine, with its oc-
cupants, went into the gully, which at this
particular place is about fifteen feet deep.
When assistance arrived the car was
found STANDING straight up on end with
the front wheels resting against the OPP
posite bank. Miss Purdy when rescued
was unconscious and the others OF the
party were more or less seriously injured.
The Misses Carson escaped without any
bones being broken, but we're badly bruised
and cut. Ray Piles, owner and driver Of
the car, had his right arm fractured at
the wrist, while Milton Purdy had an arm
fractured and his nose broken.
All Of the members Of the party we're
taken TO a nearby farm house ana a doc
tor from McClelland, while Miss
Purdy's parents were from Oak
land. MI. and Mrs. Purdy at once left
Oakland for the scene OF the accident in
an automobile belonging to Al Lenocker,
chairman OF the democratic county central
committee. reaching their daughters side
about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. The
other members Of the party were taken to
their homes in Oakland during the day
and Miss Purdy was brought TO the Ed
mundson hospital IN this city in the
Lenocker automobile on an ImproTsed
stretcher, after consultation with Or. Don
aid &aerse. vino was summoned yesterday

Precincts in Custer
County.

GALLOWAY, Neb., Aug. 2a-(spscisl.)-
The primary election has been an expen-
sive thing for the taxpayers Of this colnty.
In Elm township there we're but eight
ballots cast in all, the taxpayers having
to pay S2S.75 for the votes, besides the
printing Of the ballots. amounting in all
to about $500 per vote II Is also stated
that there were two townships in the
county which polled but two votes each,
even the member Of the election board re-
fused to vote.
The blanket ballot as used at the late
primary Is also criticised. In Delight town
ship there were but twelve democrats
voted their ticket, while last fall the pre-
clnot went democratic by q small major
ity. The democrats simply voted 20 in
sure the nomination Of their strong men,
while the balance voted for the nomlna-
ton Of the weak men on the republican

hre almost as clean on other days the
Wear round, but they We're especially
noticea BILE because traffic was kept off
The pavements and there was an oppor-

/ Extra clean streets during Elks' week
has been a hobby with w. II. Humph>
revs, chief inspector of public works,
and w. c. Laws, his chief deputy.
Laws has made II his special business
to see that the pavements glisten as
white and pure as newly washed
baby. He parades up and down the
business section in one of the street
departments automobiles, and If no
sees 2 speclS of dust the nearest Whlte
wing gets a fierce scowl and hears
q sharp order to get out his feather
dustcr and his cnamolS SKIN ana "ipe
off the speck.
With tens of thousands of persons on
the streets it is almost herculean task
to keep them clean. They eat peanuts
bv the bushel and throw the shells and
paper bags on the street, They carry
lunches in paper sacks and the refuse
goes on the street. All kinds of scraps
are tossed aSlde 10 ran WHoi RticS "Hi
and without a thought that a big, eX-
nensive department has to be main
fained with the organization of perfect
clock work to clean up after them.
This work is being done with re-

employees were laid off the first OF the
month to enable the street department
to keep within its appropriation untll
