From Saturday's Dally
The jury that convicted Charles C.
Parmele. former wealthy banker of
Plattsmouth. was justified in that
conclusion is the declaration of At
torney General Spillman, in a brief
filed Friday with the supreme court.
The conviction was on an indict
ment returned by a grand jury in
Cass county which charged him with
embezzling a $1,500 note given by
Luke Wiles to be applied on a $5,000
note owing by Wiles to Mrs. Doug
las. It was alleged tha the had used
this note as collateral to a loan ne
gotiated at an Omaha bank, that
Wiles had eventually to pay it and
that he never got credit for it on the
Douglas note.
In his appeal Mr. Parmele laid par-'
ticular stress on the refusal of the j
trial court to allow testimony to
show that the transaction had been
sdtled to the satisfaction of all con-1
cerned; that the evidence was insnf- j
ficient to show that he was guilty i
of the offense charged with and place
w-nt rather to support a charge not
made, and that the appointment of a

Lincoln, July 24. J. X. Norton of
Polk was nominated as the demo-
rat ic nominee for governor on the
seventeenth ballot at the meeting of
the democratic state committee here
tonight. Norton's nomination came
t S:30, after the committee had
been in session only one hour of
the evening s ssion. On the nominat
ing ballot .Norton received thirty-
five votes one more than needed to
nominate. The nomination was im
mediately made unanimous by ac-
lamation.
Direct steps toward a nomination
began with the opening of the eve
ning session at 7:30. John Hopkins.
of Omaha, who had led on most of
ballots taken during the after
noon session, announced nis with
drawal personally as soon as the
evening session was called to order.
Hopkins' withdrawal was greeted
with a sounding ovation from the
members of the committee and the
pectators.
It is apparent that there Is a

aid. "I propose to immediate ly with-
i r:i v lev nm:- in the interests of the
emocratic party. I feel that, under
the circumstances, my nomination
would neither bo a benefit to the
party nor to myself.
Immediately Piter Hopkins made
his announcement, J. F. Itohn. of I
Fremont read a telegram from Dan
Stephens, who v as also one of the
our leading candidates during the
afternoon's balloting. announcing
Stephens' withdrawal.
Stenhens Urges Unitv
"I deeply appreciate the great
ompliments paid to me by the
worthy democrats of Nebraska."
Stephens wired, "those who have
thought me an available candidate
for governor notwithstanding th
fact that I have publicly stated that
would not be a candidate, and
ould not conceive of my nomination
ing effective under conditions I
ould not afford to accept. I am
more convinced now than ever be
fore that my statement was correct
in view or tiie opposition to my nom
ination. I certainly could not under-
ake the burden of entering a great
campaign of this kind without the
united support of democracy back of
me. I request that my name be with-
! drawn and urije that everything be
done to provide for the carrying of
Nebraska bv Davis and Bryan this
fall."
Norton's nomination was practical
ly assured as soon as the recess was
taken at 5 o'clock. At that time
some of those who had been diligent
ly searching for the most available
candidate during the last two days
of preliminary shifting believed they
saw in Norton the best bet of the
party.
Jim Dahlman continued to find a
on tlie DallOI to tiie last (re
ceiving at least one or two votes on
practically every one of the seven
teen. )
Governor Bryan's closest friends
on the committee, including one or
two holding office by his appoint
ment, finally drifted to Norton, de
spite the governor's former opposi
tion to the man from Polk.

night Chairman T. S. Allen of the

Merchants There Hold Special Bar
gain Day and Public Entertain
ed by Band Concert.
From Thursday" Pally
Last evening was a very gala oc
casion in the enterprising little ity
of Louisville when the merchants of
that city held a special bargain day
festival and the residents and the
visitors were entertained by a tint
concert by the Weeping Water band.
The roads leading into Louisville
were filled with cars from early in
the evening until the threatening
clouds warned the residents of the
country districts that they bad best
proceed homeward and taken as
Whole, the occasion was apparently
one of the greatest interest for the
good people of Louisville and their
friends and neighbors who were
there to enjoy the time with them
1 he band concert was given on the
street intersection at the Bank of
uommerce corner and the musicians
were surrounded by a very large
crowd to take in the well balanced
and arranged program that Director
Hawkins and his Weeping Water
musicians were offering and two
hours of the fine program was given
for the benefit of the auditors. As
the evening was very hot and the
musicians working hard. Mayor Lee
J. Mayric Id and a force of assistants
were on hand to see that the band
had plenty of cool drinks.
During the evening the represen
tatives of the Plattsmouth Legion
j post were able to assist quite a large
i number of the Louisville service
men in getting their compensation
insurance blanks made out. The
service men were at the Bank of
I Commerce where Reese Hastain and
Ralph Larson are in charge and they
also being service men placed their
room at the disposal of the flying
squadron. Incidently, Mr. Hastain
saw that the visiting delegation was
not neglected in the way of suitable
rcfrc shmenta.
There is one thing in which the
people of Louisville as well as Cedar
Creek and Plattsmouth should have
B just complaint and that is the
fact that there are several very dan
gerous places along the Louisville
road i hat are a menace to the per
sons passing along that road at night
and especially the d riser who is not
familiar with the highway and these
should be repaired or marked so that
tln re will be no possibility of any
one driving off into the deep ditches
and creeks there. The road is de
. Idedly rough, due to the continued
rains and the lack of opportunity
of dragging the roads and this is
specially true of some of the bills
just cast of Louisville. On the east
ern part of the road there was some
dragging done yesterday that helped
to make the road a little more suit
ed for travel.

Shock absorbers, snubbers and other easy-riding
devices save a lot of wear on the automobile by
smoothing out the rough places.
And a growing bank account will take a lot of
the bumps out of the road of life which is ahead of you

ment installed in your scheme

The work of drilling at the oil
well on the z. YV. Shrader farm be
tween Murray and Nehawka. in Mt.

up by the fact that the diamond drill
Q! ed in drilling the well has been
stuck. The drill was stuck two
months ago and since whicli time
th.-re has been no work done in the
way of sinking the well farther down
in the depths of the earth and the
efforts of the workmen have been de
voted to trying to get the drill re

where it has been lodged. The re
moval of the drill has been a real
t :k and one that requires a great
deal of effort on the part of the com

to remedy. The drill that Is used in
'boring through the rock formations
is one that nas $8,000 in diamonds
in it and is very valuable aside from
its working powers. The residents
