Mrs. Stef Steft'en, who is at the Nicholas Senn hospital recovering from the effects of an operation. Henry R. Herold and wife of Okla homa City, who have been spending the past few weeks In the north, are planning to leave Wednesday for their home in the south. Mr. and Mrs. Herold were visiting here at the home of Mr. Herold's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Herold, and while In the north spent some time at New York where Mr. Herold attended a conference of the Richard Hudnut Co., with which he is associated. From Wednesday's Daily Despite the fact that the authori ties here are of the opinion that the ; death of Carl Albright, Nebraska : City young man who was found ' burned to death on the highway two j miles north of this city, was acci-; dental, the relatives of the young man are firmly convinced that he was the victim of foul play and the search for possible clues that might reveal the murdered are being fol lowed by the family and the officers as well. The general view held by the au thorities here is that the young man was attempting to adjust the car buretor of his car or pouring gas in to the tank of the car, when the gas in some manner caught fire and the blaze spread to the garments of the boy and. frantic with pain and fright, he had dashed across the road to where the body was found the next morning by a resident of that locality and the office of the county attorney at Plattsmouth notified. j The mystery is a perplexing one and has many angles on which a pos sible murder theory could rest if the motive for the crime could be clear ly established. A number of those intimate with the young man believe that perhaps the motive for the mur der if there was one was laid back in Missouri where Albright had worked with the construction com pany and that in revenge for some disagreement in the work there someone had followed him and slug ged him and later burned the body while he was still breathing. One of the mysterious phases of the case is why he made the long stay in Plattsmouth, where, as far as the relatives know, he was unac quainted, and where he had no rear-on to stop over this long period. From the time that he left his car in the. garage about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, until he called for it at a few minutes before 8 o'clock, there is no trace of the man in this city, the only clue being the possible identi fication of the man as having eaten supper in the Royal Cafe about 6 o'clock in company with other par ties, all strangers to the people at the cafe and who were not seen afterwards. The case is so complex that it will require a long and careful search to unravel and the services of someone who could trace the young man from his work in Missouri down to the time that he reached this city on his , fatal journey. j The relatives point out that the : roads were very bad, the weather growing more severe and common sense would indicate that he keep on his journey to Omaha instead of stopping here for four or five hours, unless there was some important reason that caused him to make this stop that has not yet been revealed.

Sprinkle it with kisses for confection, Sweeten with a look from loving eyes ' Flavor it with children's merry chatter, Frost it with the snow of wintry dells Place it on a garnished platter, ' And serve it with the song of New Year's bells We dose ct zcox Hew Yan day.
