The farmer and his son3 continued their pursuit after sending a message to the sheriff and made attempt tc ; stop the car of the robbers who had some difficulty in getting away and at this time Mr. Weiss shouted to his sons that he was going" to call the sheriff and give the direction the auto was fleeing and which wa3 evidently heard by the parties as they turned their car, which was headed east around and started west but crashed into a small embankment and damag i ed the car so that their get away was hampered and Mr. Weiss also threat ened the men in the car who told him . to get out of the way or they would run over him.

From Thursday's DaRy The community was shocked last night when William C. Furry, a resi dent of the south portion of the city ended his life at the family heme and in a few moments had passod away after taking a dse of strychnine, the death coming as a severe blow to the family who were unaware of the impending tragedy until the fatal act had been committed. Mr. Furry had been in a worried .-ondition for the past several days and yesterday had complained of net feeling well, having visited the oHice of a local physician last night t secure some medicine but not finding the physician had stated that he had some medicine at home that he would take. Mr. Furry with others of the fam ily had returned to the home in the routh part of the city and the bro ther and children had remained at the garage for a few minutes while the unfortunate man had gone, as they supposed to the-. -use. The oth er members of the family later came on into the house and found that Mr. Furry had not appeared and which caused some apprehension to the wife and others cf the family and they searched around the place but de cided that perhaps the unfortunate man had gone to one f the neighbors on some errand. A short time later Mr. Furry appeared at the home and said "send for a doctor, I've taker poison" and before aid could reach him had passed away. The deceased was fortj'-nine years of age and has been in the employe of the Burlington at the local shops for a number of years, coming to thi.; city from Wahoo. the oil home of the family. He has made a large cir cle of friends since locating here and who share the sorrow that has come to the grief stricken family or the unfortunate man as the result of the tragic death. Mr. Furry was twice married and is survived by the second wife and ix children of the first marriage ar well as two step children. He alsr has one brother and one sister and four half sisters and two Half bro thers. In the sudden taking away of tho husband and father the members of the family circle will have the deep est sympathy of the large circle of friends in the community. SOCIAL WORKERS MEET From Thursday's fan.'' The Social Workers of the First Methodist church met on Tuesday afternoon at the Hotel Perkins with Mrs. Ed Brantner and Mrs. Clarence Cotner as the hostesses and the event proved one of the greatest pleasure to the large number of ladies in at tendance. The meeting wa3 under the leader ship of Mrs. W. R. Holmes and was in the nature of a "Mother's day" pro gram with several of the ladies taking part in the meeting. Mrs. Hal Garnett gave two very charming vocal numbers appropriate to the occasion and Mrs. C. C. Wescott gave a very beautiful tribute to the memory of mother. Mrs. Allen J. Bee- son was heard in a reading, "Tc Mother" which was one that all of the members of the party enjoyed to the utmost. At the close of the afternoon re freshments were served by the hostesses which added to the enjoy ment of the occasion.

Urge Closer Observance of Decoration Day Stores to be Asked to Close at 10 :00 O'Clock to Fern-.it cf Greater Tribute to the Dead. From Thursday's T-allv Last night's monthly Legion meet in. ar wns largely devoted to a discus sion cf more significant observance of Decoration day and plans laid for 'making this an occasion of tribute paying to our heroic soldier dead, in cluding a return to the manner of observance in vogue when the Grand Army men were still active and made it one of the -big days of the year. given wholly to reverent observance. Since they have dropped the reins to younger hands, locally the day has lost some of its meaning and it is in the hope of reviving this that the Legion Las pledged itself to greater activity. The morning ceremonies at the cemetery, when the graves of all sol dier dead are strewn with flowers, should be largely attended instead of a mere handful of Legionnaires and other interested parties whisking out to the temetery in cars, hurriedly scattering their flowers and rushing back to" town to "enjoy" the day. So, the Legion will make an effort to revive the old time custom cf a pro cession to the cemetery and will have its drum corps out to lead the proces sion with appropriate dirge beat. The old veterans will be taken out in cars, and although there will be many cars in line, it is probable a good many Legionnaires will fall in behind their Drum corps and march to the cemetery as in the olden days when the band led a long and winding pro cession of pedestrians. To facilitate unhampered carrying out of the plans, a communication lias been addressed to the Plattsmouth Ad club asking their co-operation in securing the closing of business houses of the city at 10:00 o'clock in the morning, instead of the custo mary noon closing hour of the past few years. In the past, the hour set for going to the cemetery has been 9:00 o'clock, but with invariable delay of from 30 minutes to an hour, and it was thot that with the stores closing at 10, it would be best to set that as the time for leaving and start out right on the minute. The afternoon program at the Par mele will be contributed to by each of the patriotic organizations of the city, including the Legion, which will furnish the speaker, Mr. Harry Trus tin. chairman of the Rehabilitation committee of Omaha post No. 1. The hour of this program is 2:30. The Legion committee appointed byi Vice Commander Otto Lutz, who pre sided at last night's meeting in the absence of Commander Soennichsen, to have charge of arranging the morning ceremonies and co-operating on tne atternoon program, is com posed of Frank Smith, J. A. Capwell and Roy Holly. MARRIED AT GLEN WOOD From Saturday's Dally The Glenwood dispatches state that Mrs. Grace Sperry and Joseph Mc Carty of this city were united in marriage in that city on Monday last and which has been the source of a great deal of interest to the many friends cf this popular couple. Mr and Mrs. McCarty have returned home and are now at home to the friends in the south portion of the city. Both of the contracting parties are well known here where the bride has made her home for some ten years and the groom is a native born resident of this city, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McCarty, Sr.. and has since completing nis school worn been engaged with the Burlington in the local storehouse of the com pany.

Plea of Guilty Entered in Meat Stealing Case Fines Are Assessed Against Henry and George Bartik in the District Court. From Friday's Daily This morning the district court was occupied with hearing the com plaints filed by County Attorney W. G. Kieck against Henry Bartik and George BartiX, charging them with breaking and entering, the crime having been committed on the farm of Herman Weiss, northwest of this city and in which the two young men and a third party, not yet ap prehended had been caught by Mr. Weiss in the act of escaping from the smokehouse and who were later captured by Sheriff Reed and Deputy Sheriff Rex Young. The two men had agreed to plea guilty to the charge as preferred against them and threw themselves on the mercy of the court and the county authorities and also agree ing to appear and testify in the case when called in the trial of others who might be implicated In the crime. In view of the youth of the two men and the fact that they had giv en the plea of guilty to the offense the court imposed a heavy fine on both of the parties rather than the penitentiary penalty. A fine of $500 and the costs of the prosecution was given Henry Bartik while George Bartik. the youngest of the men, aged 15, was given a fine of $230. Both men were remanded to the custody of Sheriff Bert Reed until the fine and costs have been paid. The third member of the party that invaded the Weiss smokehouse is still at large and steps are being taken to try and apprehend him either in Omaha or in this locality. RECEIVES SAD NEWS From Saturday's Dally John McLean of this city received a cablegram j-esterday of the death on Thursday evening of his father, William McLean, aged 76 years, who passed away at the old home at Gates- head-on-Tyne, England, following an illness of some duration. Mr. Mc Lean and family were in England several times in the last few years to visit the parents and to aid them in their failing years, but as Mr. McLean has been in business for the greater part of the time since com ing to this country and has become a citizen of the republic he has been compelled to make but short trips. The death of the father in England comes as a very severe blow in the fact that the aged mother of Mr. McLean who is now left a widow, is blind, having suffered the loss of her eyesight in the last year and as soon as possible it is expected that Jack will close up his affairs to go to the old home and care for the mother in her few remaining years.

Farmers State Bank to Have a Fine Building Remodeling of the Present Strnctnre Will Give Them Up to the Minute Banking House. From Saturday's Pally The Farmers State bank of this city whic h has enjoyed a very fine in crease in its business in the past year and added many now patrons is to have the building ot iod by tho bank remedied and re-arranged for the handling of the business with sir-ed and dispatch and adding to the comfort of the employes and the con venience of the patrons. The front of the bank Is to bo entirely changed and the material for the new front is commencing to ar rive on the ground and it will be but a short time until the work of chang ing over the structure will be start ed. The front of the building will be in the gray granite stone with the new entrance at the west corner of the banking room, large double doors giving access to the bank building. The east portion of the front will have a large plate glass window which will be placed for the most convenience as to light and give privacy to the office of the bank. Along the top of the new front will be a large prism glass that will ad- rait light to the banking room in addition to the window. The front will also be raised from the present height of the building and with Its beautiful stone finish will be a very pleasing addition to the business sec tion of the city. In the interior of the bank thre will be several changes made which Mr. T. II. Pollock, president of the bank and the other officers have long felt the need of having and these will include the re-arranging of the counters to give more room for the clerks in the bank and allow of greater speed in waiting on the cus tomers by providing more windows for the customers to transact their business. Adjoining the railed in of fice of the bank president will be a small private office and adjoining this on the north will commence the main banking room. The large increasing business cf the bank and the large number of the safe deposit boxes makes it nec essary to have a new vault construct ed and which will be built in the rear of the present vault which will be ample for all the needs of -the bank and adjoining which will be the wash rooms for the employes and patrons as well as a large sized room for the use of the patrons and cus tomers in conferences or looking af ter business matters and which will e very much appreciated by the bank customers. The changes that have Peen plan ned by Mr. Pollock In the building will make it one of the most attrac- ive banking houses in the state and one that will be made for the great est measure of comfort for the bank employes and convenience. for the patrons of the bank.

In tho clean up Chief Sandin was assisted by John Rice and John Smith and as the result of the campaign a great many potential fire traps and dangers were eliminated that will help boost the fire prevention record of the city in the next year. Chief Sandin has kept after those annual clean up campaigns in the last few years and has had tho pleas ure of seeing the average of the fires in the city cut to a very low figure and one where the total fire losse? of the year has been considerably less than $2,500 including all classes of fires and which is a real record for a city of this size.
