Laurie Rowley, aged %, lies in a
very serious condition in the Allan
tic hospital. his right knee nearly
severed at the joint and badly LAGER
ated, with cuts above and below the
knee, as well as cuts and abrasions
on the left leg, on the back of his
head, above one eye and bruises over
his entire body, the result of an &C
cident at the Harry McCrory farm,
north of Atlantic. where he is en-
ployed.
The young man was at work disc
ing with four horses. and according
to his story. theX took fright at some
colts in the pasture adjoining and
started to run. In some way he was
thrown from his seat. the disc passing
over his body. The accident occurred
Tuesday about five O'Clock and he
was not found until 30 O'Clock, the
family instituting search when he
failed to appear at the supper hour.
He was picked up about a half mile
from the house after being dragged
for quarter of mile The disc
stood nearby and also the horses.
which had freed themselves from the
harness. He was conscious when he
was found and declared that he had
not lost consciousness for a moment.
Two physicians were called immed-
lately and he was taken to the Allan
tic hospital. where every effort is be-
ing made to save his life and leg. 1t
is hoped that amputation can be
avoided unless complications arise.
The young man is the son of Rev.

Storm Sewers and Water Mains

The City Council was in executive
session last Saturday afternoon when
the awarding of the contract for the
construction of a storm sewer system
and the extension of the city water
mains was to be considered

1t became necessary to construct
storm sewer in order to protect prop
erty in various parts of the city from
floods, due to heavy rains. In the
past the natural waterway took care
of most of the surplus water. but with
the paved streets a large olume of
water results after each rain. This
water could not be run onto private
property, and in order to properly
handle the matter the new system
became necessity that had to be
dealt with Immediately.
There is approximately 7.106 feet
of storm sewer in the area to be COW
cred in the city. Nine bids were filed
but the successful bidder was II. j.
Petersen. of Omaha. whose bid was

MANY ATTEND THE
MAY DAY PROGRAM

Hundreds of Audubon people wit
messed the May Day Fete by the pu-
pills of the public school at the school
grounds Monday afternoon. The
weather was exceedingly threatning
and 1t was very cold. Had the wealth
er been pleasant the audience would
have been doubled. No admission
was charged to see the program but
large bevy of young girls sold rib
bons TO raise a sufficient amount of
money to defray expenses.
All those who took part in the fete
were dressed to represent their re-
spective parts. That many of the
girls did not catch cold is a wonder.
The program was in charge of Misses
deFrates, Bradford. Clark, George
and Taylor. instructors in the school
and they deserve much praise for the
manner in which the children were
drilled.
The first part of the program was
opened with the professional played
by the orchestra. The bugler an
nounced the coming of the Queen of
May and her subjects as they march
ed down the slope from the school
house to the enclosed space of green
lawn, which formed a lovely stage
for the pageant. AS the Queen was
slowly escorted to her beautiful
throne, the subjects bowed before
her. Miss Elsie McLeran made a
beautiful and stately Queen of May
in her dress of white trimmed with
gold. After the browning of the
Queen by the Maid of Honor, Miss
Gladys Swezey, the welcoming song.
welcome Sweet Spring Time was
given by the chorus, after which the
fairy spirits of May gave their beau
tiful dance which was followed by the
spirited Dance of Night" and the
sprightly dance of the wee Brownies.
Then the dainty fairies reveled on
the lawn, and the Dance of Dawn"
heralded the rising of the sun. The
sun solo dance, "Helen" given by
Miss Fiji Goldstein was very good.
The joyous spring flowers, in their
beautiful costumes, violets, roses.

the program
In the second part the peasants
from foreign lands appear to pay
their respects to the Queen of May.
The Swedish and Irish peasants
gave their quaint dances in a charm
ing way and then the Japanese girls
in their gay kimonas, presented the

erected. the Senior girls wound the
pink and white streamers very nice

CLEANING THE CEMETERY

G. w Hoover, one of the trustees
OF the Odd Fellows lodge again has
charge of the woIS at Maple Grove
cemetery. For a month or more he
with force of workmen have been
busily engaged in cleaning the
debris and filling the graves.
The burying grounds are in bet
ter condition now than they have
been for years Persons owning lots
have come forward early this year
with their assessments so that their
lots could be cleaned and properly
cared for. Many have also taken ad-
vantage of the permanent care fea-
ture. and this insures. for a lifetime
the proper care of the graves of the
loved ones who are buried in that
beautiful cemetery.
In years past Mr.. Hoover has part
ly cared for the lots of others who
failed to send in their remittances.
but this year he was compelled to
confine his energies to only those
who paid the small assessment. A
rush always precedes the few days
before Decoration Day. and this week
the force of wOrkmen has been prac-
tically doubled in orcer to do justice
to those who have paid. A number
of women are also busy planting flow
ers and shrubs so the cemetery will
look its very best on Memorial Day.
Mr.. Hoover is to be cOmplimented
for the thorough manner in which he
has done the work. 1t is, however,
only characteristic of the man, for
what he undertakes to do he never
does by halves. The lodge and the
people of the community owe him
vote of thanks for his untiring eff
forts. for much of his work is do
mated.
