when Mr. Rouse was fatally injured
when he was struck by an auto on
the streets at Greenwood and died
Thursday at the hospital at Lincoln.
Since the death of the, nephew
Mr. Pearson has been in a state of
the deepest sorrow and all efforts
seemingly failed to rouse him from
his intense grief and he seemingly
had abandoned all interest in life
and on Sunday was taken to his bed
and gradually sank into a coma that
terminated in his death. It is thought
that the deep grief brought on a
heart attack that resulted in his.
death. !
The deceased was born at Burling-'
ton. Iowa. March 4, 1854, and when
eight years old his parents moved to
Plattsmouth. settling here in 1S63 i
and remained in this city for a year, j
then going to Greenwood, near!
where they settled on a farm and
where the deceased has since made
his home. lie was engaged In farm- j
Ing for the greater part of his life-
time and in the last year3 he has
been assisted by his nephew. EVban j
Rouse, who made his home with the ;
aged man and looked after his care
and that of the farm.
In early life Mr. Pearson was af
filiated with the Christian church,
being one of the earliest members of
that faith in Greenwood and he con
tinued a firm believer in the teach
ings of this church until his death.
There remains to mourn the passing
of this good man, one niece, Mrs.
Joe Kyles of near Greenwood, a sis
ter of the late Mrs. Rouse and the
last of the immediate family of Mr.
Pearson. There are also several dis
tant cousins left to share the sorrow
of his death.
The funeral services were held on
Wednesday afternoon at the Chris
tian church in Greenwood and con
ducted by the Rev. II. L. Grassmuck.
The services were very largely at
tended by the old friends and neigh
bors who have felt the deepest sym
pathy for Mr. Pearson in his bereave
ment that had led him broken heart
ed to his grave and the friends paid
their last tribute to the old resident
who had his wish gratified of join
ing his nephew In the dreamless sleep
of death.
Sam Lucky, thirty-four, negro in
mate of the penitentiary, serving life
for murder, ran amuck in his cell at
10:45 a. m. Friday and slashed Cap
tain of the Guard Claude Winters
and Charles Lodge, aged cell keep
er. Weakened from loss of blood
flowing from deep wounds about the
face and body, the captain and keep
er plucklly overpowered the crazed
inmate, shoved him back into his
cell, locked the door and were then .
taken to the hospital, where Dr. B. ;
A. Finkle dressed their wounds. j
The negro, blood streaming from
his hands, was taken to the dungeon
by Warden Fenton and Deputy Kav
anaugh. I
The injuries to Capt. Winters are
serious. He is not, however, in a
critical condition, though marked for
life, according to Dr. Finkle. His nose
was slashed to ribbons. Three dis-j
tinct cuts were Inflicted on the nose. I
one from the bridge to tip on the left j
side being the most serious. The blade j
penetrated all the way through the
cartillage and into the nostril.
A deep cut back of the left shoul
der and thru the muscles extends ap
proximately six inches. A cut on the
left side is three inches long. He also
sustained two cuts on the left hand.
Tells of Experience

blood and intense pain. Captain Win- j

had gone to Lucky's cell to take the
negro to his bath. As the cell door J
swung open, the inmate, recently re-;

hospital at Hastings, revealed the
hand with the pocket knife with four-
inch blade sharpened to razor edge.

SRB FILES FOR SENATOR
Fremont, Neb., Dec. 15. Hugo F.
Srb, Dodge attorney, filed his can
didacy for the democratic nomination
for state senator from the Dodge
Washington county district in the
office of the county clerk here Thurs
day. He is the first candidate for the
office.
Srb ran for the senatorship at the
last election, but was defeated bv
fifty-two votes. Senator Miller of
Washington county polled a heavy
vote in his home section.
At a recent conference on press
relations at the University of Vir
ginia's Institute of Public Affairs at j
Charlottesville, Judge Archie Dab- i
ney of that city declared that if the '
press would present the criminal in
his true colors it would do more for
the suppression of crime than all the
court reforms ever attempted. "Let ,
the court reporter show the criminal
as he is, not a hero or a martyr, but
a degenerate, a diseased creature, if
not abnormal at least subnormal and .
a weakling without mental vigor to '
resist temptation to do wrong. The
reporter should appeal to the snort
ing instinct of the public by showing
that the criminal is one who has
taken unfair advantage of his vic
tim." Well meaning anti-pistol enthus
iasts point to our record of homicides
as proof that the right and privilege
of American citizens to buy and own
guns Is the cause of killing. Any
one who will take the trouble to
study a state prison record will find
that guns are not used in commmit
ting a large percentage of the most
heinous crimes.
The professional gun toter, the
dope peddler, the card shark, the
drunken driver, and numerous other
lawbreakers are a menace, but honeet
persons should not be denied the
right to use useful instruments or
other articles which the criminal
uses, on the theory that this will
prevent a criminal making improper
use of such articles.
Carrying arms to assist in crime
should entail a double penalty. Why
pamper the criminal? Taking guns
away from law-abiding men .and
women insures immunity to assail
ants upon their homes or persons,
and invites, rather than curtails
crime.

slashed rapidly.
Charlie Lodge, sixty-two cell keep
er, rushed to the rescue. He landed a
blow that temporarily stunned Lucky
but the negro came back and center
ed his attention on Lodge. One cut
struck the guard above the ear, the
knife being thrust down to a point
near the lower angle of the Jaw. This
wound covers approximately six
inches. Lodge also sustained a deep
gash under the left arm and a cut
under the eye. A thrust aimed at the
lower part of his body saw the knife
blade rip thru the trouser leg with
out damage. Lodge stood by the bed
of the captain to corroborate what
his superior said.
This inmate with a mania for kill
ing, has tried on several previous oc
casions to murder, lie was Kept in ;
a dead-lock cell. The knife used Fri-I
day was, according to Warden Fen-j
ton, furnished him by some "dirty j
rat." I
Lucky, under pressure, gave the j
name of a fellow inmate a3 having'
furnished the weapon. The man he
named has been in the prison nine
years without a mark against him. j
"Lucky is lying to protect some
other person," said the warden. j
Serving Life Term
Lucky was sentenced from Box
Butte county for life following con
viction for second degree murder. Ac
cording to prison officials, his killing
of Ed Hayes, in Alliance, was in cold
blood. He was received at the insti
tution Sept. 16, 1916. He was later
found by the insanity commission to
be insane and on June 30, 1922, was
transferred to the state hospital at
Hastings. He was returned to the
penitentiary August 30, 1923, was
re-transferred to the hospital April
11, 1927, and returned to the prison
October 7, 1927.
While at the hospital, Lucky made
one attack with a knife and was pre
paring to make another when discov
ered. On one occasion he sharpened
a spike with pad holder. During Fri
day's escapade he clung to the knife
even while he was being crowded
back into his cell. Officials found
the knife in the toilet, where he had
thrust it.
The only time he has been allowed
from his cell was on occasions such
as Friday, to take his bath. On these
occasions he has been under guard.
