Lieut.
lCichartl Waugh Takes
His Own Life.
IS MAKING A 1IAKI FIGHT
tieiiernl Otl Reports to the War Depart
ment That He Shot Himself Tbrongh
the Heart While Temporarily Ie
rangrd From F.itreme rvonnM-A
tirt-at Shock to III Parents.
From Thursday's Daily
The announcement of the death of
Lieutenant Kichard Vaugh,which ap
peared in the morning papers, was a
great shock to his parents and friends
in this city. The dispatch was sent
out from Washington, .and stated that
General Otis had reported to the war
department to the effect that "Lieu
tenant John R. Waugh of the Thirty
tiiath infantry bad shot himself
through the heart while temporarily
deranged from extreme nervousness
on the 27th in9t., at Manila." There
was some doubt at first as to the cor
rectness of the report, and at 8 o'clock
this morning H. N Dovey forwarded a
message to Assistant Secretary of War
Meiklejohn at "Washington, and a con
firmation of the report was received
from that official this afternoon. The
"TJereaved family has the sincere sym
pathy of the entire community.
The unfortunate young man was the
son of Sam Waugh, for many years
cashier of the First National bank in
this city. He attended Done college
at Crete for a number of years, thus
preparing bia9elf for a course at the
national ac;idemy at West Point. He
remained there until January, 1894,
when he was compelled to leave on ac
count of trouble with his eyes. At the
outbreak of the Spanish-American war,
in ISftS, Richard applied for and suc
ceeded in securing a place as non-commissioned
officer in the signal corps,
and was sent to Porto Rico. He re
mained there until the United States
troops were witndrawn. When the
Thirty-ninth regiment was organized
at Fort Crook last summer he was ap
pointed second lieutenant, and when
the regiment left the fort for the
Philippines he was acting adjutant
it is thought arrangements will be
made to bring the body to Plattsmouth
for burial, but no definite particulars
in regard to this matter could be
learned today.
Sharp's Attorneys Contest Every Inch or
Groand With the State.
The following from the Lincoln
News in regard to the trial of Charles
Sharp will be of local interest, as he is
well known to the police authorities of
Cass county :
"Charley Sharp and his duo of at
torneys, Yeiser and Hoover, are put
ting up a hard fight in district court
against the attempt of the state to
convict Sharp of larceny and send him
to the penitentiary. Every inch of the
way is being contested, and every de
vice known to the criminal practice
has been brought into play. Each
time, however, the court has ruled
against them, and the state slowly
moves toward its close.
VThls morning was devoted to testi
mony identifying the goods and prov
ing their shipment over the Rock Isl
and. These witnesses were all from
Chicago, and the defense insisted upon
asking them if they came on passes
from the Rock Island. They admitted
that they had, and when the county
attorney asked if they expected to go
back on them, they smilingly admitted
they did. The clothing, all of a cheap
pattern and heavy texture, occupied
a prominent place on a big table.
"The state's star witness. Jack
Young, is down for examination this
afternoon. Young claims to have been
one the gang of four that did the trick
and the state expects that he will tell
the story of how it was done and who
did it. Vincent, informed against with
Sharp, is said to have confessed, but
when County Attorney Munger was
asked about the matter, he said that
while it was true, he did not intend to
call Vincent, as he had plenty of other
evidence.
"The defense have raised some tech
nical points upon which they seem to
base their hopes of finally clearing
Sharp. A new one raised this morn
ing was that the Reck I-land was not
the owner of the goods stolen. It was
admitted that the fact that they were
given them to transport vested them
with a special ownership therein, but
that to constitute a valid information
this special ownership must be
averred."

J. 11. Garrison, cashier of the bank

They Spend a Very Pleasant Afternoon
Alva Monro Stratton and Dora May
Worden Married ; at the Christian
Church Mrs. Ami Todd Surprised By
Her Friends.
From Wednesday's Daily.
Mrs. V. V. Leonard was "at home"
to forty of her lady friends yesterday
afternoon from four to six.
It was a typical winter's day out of
doors the snow was falling so quietly,
making every bush and tree a thing of
beauty in its fleecy draperies. This
may have been the reason why the
parlors of Mrs. Leonard's home seemed
so cheery and inviting to the guests
as they parsed into their warmth and
brightness and received the cordial
greeting of the hostess.
The guests were unusually prompt,
and early in the afternoon it was whis
pered about that each lady would be
expected to wear a "guessing cap."
Later cards were passed, on which
were witten twenty-one questions,
under the attractive title, A Musical
Romance." The names of many old
songs were recalled and written as
possible answers to the questions.
"In the Gloaming," "Ben Bolt" and
"Sweet Marie," with "Annie Laurie"
and "A Warrior Bold," talked of their
adventures in "Old Madrid," and even
referred to "The Man Who P.roke the
Bank at Monte Carlo" just "After the
Ball." Of . course, Ben and Marie
were married in "The Church Across
the Way,"' and for aught wo know.
lived happy ever after.
Mrs. Byron Clark and Mrs. A. E.
Gass answered every question cor
rectly and in cutting for tho prize (a
beautiful paper knife) Mrs. Clark
proved the best "musician" of the two.
A three-course luncheon was served
at small tables by Mrs. Leonard's
daughters and when six o'clock came
there were not a few guests who lin
gered to thank the hostess and her
daughters for an enjoyable afternoon.
Married at High Noon.
Alva Monroe Stratton and Dora
May Worden were united in marriage
today at high noon at the home of the
bride's uncle, Frank J. Johnson. The

from the city, planned and executed a
very clever surprise upon her yester
day afternoon. About a dozen lady
friends assembled, and with well-filled
baskets took poesession of the Todd
mansion, making Mrs. Todd a guest,
arranging for entertainment and pre
paring an elegant luncheon. Mrs.
Todd was completely surprised, but
did the honors as far as she was al
lowed to, and the afternoon iras most
pleaeantly spent.
Miv. Todd left this afternoon for
Denver, where she will visit for a time
before joining Mr. Todd in Missouri.
