The charge as made in the com

attorney alleges in its findings that
the embezzlement consisted of taking

The warrant was wired to the
Cleveland authorities to hold the

Winter wheat yields are excellent
although slightly below earlier indi
cations. The preliminary estimate of
yield is 21 bu. The reduced yield
was due to premature ropening caus
ed by high, dry winds at the time
wheat was filling which resulted in
some shrunken wheat. This was tak
en into consideration last month but
the full extent of the injury could
not be determined definitely then.
The present forecast is 72,597,000
bu., as compared to 74,740,000 bu.
a month ago, 37,165,00 bu. last year
and the 5-year average of 42,018,000

leading oats section, has a very poor
crop. South of the Platte river the
early oats are good and the late oat?

Reported Found

Former Union Banker Apprehended
This Afternoon Working as

From Friday's Daily
The Omaha Bee, in a telephone
message to the Journal office at 3
o'clock this afternoon, announced the
arrest of Jack Patterson, former
Plattsmouth man and Union banker,
after a search that has been nation
wide on the part of the insurance
companies who carried policies on
the life of Mr. Patterson.
The former banker was found, ac
cording to the story of the Omaha
Bee, working as an attendant at a
filling station in Cleveland, Ohio,
and when arrested admitted his iden
tity. Mr. Patterson, according to the
message from the Bee stated that he
had left his home and family without
word, owing to worry over financial
matters.
He stated that he had been in
Cleveland since August. 1924, a few
weeks after his disappearance, and
the message stated he had been em
ployed at the filling station there for
many months.
Mr. Patterson had gone with his
wife to Chicago, in June, 1924, mo
toring from their home at Union, and
on the day of his supposed death he
had accompanied Mrs. Patterson and
his sister down into the business
section of Chicago to do some shop
ping, leaving the ladies down town
and he had then gone to a bathing
beach on the shores of Lake Michi
gan near the home of his sister.
The last seen of Mr. Patterson was
when he left the wife and sister, as
they started on a shopping tour.
Later, after search was instituted,
his auto was found parked near the
beach, with his clothing, watch and
valuables in the car, as well as a
purchase ticket for a bathing suit
bought that day in one of the down
town stores.
i The family had search made along
the beach and lakeshore in hope of
locating the missing man, but all in
vain.
The insurance companies have re-
fiisort navmpnt of the insurance on
1 the life of Mr. Patterson and engaged
in a nation-wide search for him, of
' ferine- a reward for his apprehension.
At numerous times he has been re-

Tn Waterloo county. Ontario. Aug.
8, 1859. a little life was launched
upon the wings of time to begin an
earthly career. This little bundle
of happiness and sunshine which
came to bless and make happier the
home, the parents were pleased to
name William Wilken. His develop-,
ment was attended with joyous an
ticiption as he passed through the
period of infancy, childhood, youth
and into the maturer years of life,
making as he has his personal con
tribution to each period in passing.
Heaven has been very gracious and
kind to him in that he is drawing
so near the allotted three score and
ten.
Mr. Wilken came to Nebraska 5o
vpara aeo where he remained endur-
ling the hardships and privations of
i the early pioneer and where in these
latter years he has been enjoying
thef ruits of his labors. The past
nine years he and his good compan
ion have been worthy and respected
citizens of our little Elmwood vil
lage. Last Monday, August the Sth, be
ing the anniversary of his birth, his
son, Fred of Elmwood, planned a
very pleasant surprise on him by go
ing in the evening with about 25
friends and relatives to remind him
that he had reached mile stone No. (
68, and to help him celebrate the oc
casion in a fitting manner. The eve
ning was very pleasantly spent in
visiting and music. At a late hour
ice cream, cake and coffee was served.
Brother Haist, Mr. Wilken's pastor,
made a very appropriate talk to
which Mr. Wilkin responded with a
few well chosen words. One verse of
"God Be With You Till We Meet
Again," was sung and all departed
wishing Mr. Wilken many happy re
turns of such a joyous occasion.
May there be more of such pleasant
reminders by the gathering of
friends and loved ones in those homes
where dear ones are going down
thew estern slope, sitting in the
twilight of life, their sun rapidly
going down and conscious of the
fact that the evening shadows creep
ing on are drawing the curtains of
thel ast night about them. Elmwood

VOLUNTEERS LABOR DONA
TION ON WIRING BUILDING
From Friday's Dally
Another of the experienced elec
tricians of the city, Joe Hiber, has
volunteered to donate his services in
connection with the wiring of the
new Legion community building this
coming week. This makes three ex
perienced electricians Leonard Ter
ryberry, William Highfield and Mr.
Hiber, who will have the assistance
of a force of Legionnaire helpers in
cutting the conduit, putting it in
place, etc., while the experienced men
will have charge of the wiring details.
The Nebraska Gas and Electric
company are making connection to
the building today, through a large
conduit lead at the rear and with
their meter panel installed juice will
be available for the operation of an
electric drill and electric soldering
irons.
Seven distinct leads will be pro
vided, arranged with a view to se
curing maximum lighting efficiency.
Twenty-five ceiling outlets in the
58xSS assembly room will consume
100 watts each and be provided with
a special type of shade that spreads
the light evenly over the portion it
should cover. An additional circuit
of four lights over the orchestra
platform in the center of the build
ing will permit of darkening the rest
of the room without interfering with
the music.
Although no circuit is aimed to
carry over 650 watts, nothing small
er than No. 12 wire will be used,
and the main lead-in will be three
wire No. 6, to allow for future needs
of the finished building, which will
pull approximately 8,000 watts. The
present installation will pull about
3,250 watts.
The Legion appreciates the volun
tary offers of these gentlemen and all
other tradesmen whose interest in
the building program prompts them
to give freely of their labor a om
modity as valuable as money itself.
