Harris Ends Her Life at Her Home Here Suffering From HI Health Unfortun ate Woman Turns on Gas Stove and Ends Her Sufferings From Monday's Daily Tbe community was profoundly shocked last night when the lifeless body of Mrs. E. C. Harris was found in the kitchen of her home at the Harris apartments, having ended her life by turning on the gas in the 'kitchen stove and sitting down had calmly awaited the coming of death to end her long suffering of several years duration. The discovery of the body was made at 11:15 last night when the husband, returning home from Omaha where he had spent the day, found the doors to the apartments were all closed and locked. He had then gone to the laundry on the first floor of the building, and there had noticed the gas meter was running and which aroused his fears as to the fate of the wife and he at once called the police to the scene, Officers Joe Libershal and Tom Svoboda, responding to the call. On reaching the home the officers made their entrance to the house through a window in the rear of the building and on raising the window found the odor of gas very strong. The officers made their way through the home with the aid of flashlights until they located a switch to turn on the lights and then made their away on through the house and when opening the door of the small kitchen were assailed by the gas fumes. The body of Mrs. Harris, fully 'clothed was found sitting in a chair by the kitchen table, her head reclin ing on her right arm and nearby on a table was a note, written by Mrs. Harris before she succumbed to the poison of the gas. The note stated that she was end ing her life as the result of . Illness and the last requests were made as to the funeral services and the desire to have her body cremated.. ' j The tragic ending of Mrs. Harris had evidently taken place Saturday night as the body was in such shape that it indicated that a great many hours had elapsed since life had passed away. The last time that Mrs. Harris had been seen alive was on Saturday evening when Mr. Harris had left for Omaha where he expected tc spend Sunday there with friends, ap parently the unfortunate woman had then prepared for the ending of her life as the bed bore no traces of hav ing been slept in. Mrs. Harris has been in very poor health for the past three years, her nervous condition having been a very serious nature and causing her tc brood a great deal over her condition as well as business of the laundry in which she had been actively engaged with her husband in the years that her health would permit. Mrs. Harris had received treatment from somf of the most eminent physicians o the west but was unable to gain any relief and which without doubt led to her decision to end her life. The deceased lady has made her home here for the past fifteen years and was very active in looking after the business affairs of the Platts- mouth Laundry Co., during the great er part of the time and was also very active in the social life of the com munity. She possessed a very large circle of friends who are sorrow stricken to learn of her passing and sharing with the husband and family the erief that her untimely death has caused. Mrs. Harris is survived by the hus band, the aged mother. Mrs. Win ouist of Omaha, as well as a sister living at Omaha and a nephew Arthur Winquist and a niece. Bernese Winquist who resides in California DEATH OF LITTLE CHHD The announcement has been re ceived here of the death on Friday at Los Aneeles.

Platts Takes the Lead in the In terstate League By Score of 9 to 1 the Locals Trim Up North Omaha Athletic Club team Much Argument From Monday's Dally The Platsmouth team of the Inter state league crept into a half game lead in the Interstate race yesterday afternoon when they administered a 9 to 1 defeat to the league leading North Omaha Athletic club and would have scored a shutout but for the lonely tally that came home in the midst of the argument between the two teams and Umpire Billy Fox in the seventh stanza of the game. Jim Phillips, elongated hurler of Council Bluffs, was the slabman for the Platters and so well did Jim per form his work that but six hits were garnered by the Omaha team while the locals annexed sixteen hits from Dickinson, thej - North Side hurler The Plattsmouth fielding game war gilt edge and several fine catches and stops cut down the hits of the visit ors, Krejci in grabbing a high and hard fly in his territory and Distell Gansemer and Newman also maikng Gansemer and Newman also making into their territory. The game was scoreless up to the last half of the fourth inning when the locals started to warm up and from then on were constantly threa tening the visitors. Waring opened the inning with a safe blow over sec ond that Donahue was unable to get Newman then laid down a nice sac rifice that advanced Waring to sec ond and on the hit of Distell, War ing came to third and scored when Herb Shirley rapped another safe one over the second base. The game then continued in the usual smooth way, each team "having their ups and their downs" as the old song goes, until the seventh inning when the fans had their whole forty cents worth thrown in this one frame the visitors tying the score, a fast preliminary to test who was the suc cessor to Gene Tunney and also the Platters icing up the gamr. In the first of the seventh Gewecke opened for the visitors and was safe when the muddy infield made the work of Newman at short slow, West then hit thro short and advanced Gewecke to second base, Echtemeyei then rapped one to center that looked good to score the whole North Side team, but Krejci was in the way and the runner was out. Brightwell war safe on a fielders choice. West being retired at second, Gansemer to New man, with Gewecke taking third Taylor was then sent in to bat for Pascal and while he was attempting to solve the delivery of Phillips Gewecke strayed off third and Spi- dell hurled the ball to Distell whe placed It on Mr. Gewecke and he was given the thumb down sign by the umps who in a few seconds reversed the decision on the claim that the ball had been dropped. This occas ioned much wrath and while the argument waxed warm and furious Gewecke came home with the only tally, Spidell being without services of the sphere to put the runner out. With things looking bad, the groundr muddy, the clouds coming up and several of the ball players also cloud ing up, the diplomatic services of Pascal, Trumble, Phillips and several others successed in calming the trou bled waters and the game resumed Smith being struck out by Phillips The Plattsmouth team, aroused by the fact that they had allowed the score to be all tied up on them, start ed in to do things and how, Joe Krejci started the fireworks with a smashing two sacker to center, the ball missing a homer by inches Trumble was out on a grounder tc second, Spidell was walked and Gan semer hit to short which Smith re covered but fell down and then "Ganse" was safe at first, Krejci scoring; Jim Phillips drove a hot one through pitch that scored Spidell and Gansemer took second base. To keep things going Waring singled and scored Gansemer, Hans Newman then hit one through the infield that gave him a safety. Distill hit a hard one over short and on which Waring and Newman both scored. Shirley was hit by Dickinson but the scoring was over as Krejci was out on a high fly to second. The eighth inning looked bad in the opening for the Platters as the visitors were able to fill the bases but were held scoreless. Dickinson was walked, Steck was out on a fly to Trumble at first base, Donohue then hit to short and Newman threw to Gansemer at second who missed the throw and Dickinson was Bafe, Ge wecke hit to short and again the throw was missed and Donohue was safe at second and Dickinson at third. Jim Phillips then uncorked a few of the famous Council Bluffs curves and Bet West and Echtemeyer down by strikouts with the bases loaded. ' I The locals opened the last of the eighth with another assault on Dick inson that brought in three more runs. Trumble opened with a safe hit to left. Spidell hit to right to advance Trumble. Gansemer hit a hot one through and filled the bags. On the Infield hit of Phillips, Trumble scored, and then Waring hit a hard fly to center that registered Spidell and "Ganse." The tabulated score of the game was as follows: Plattsmouth .vr.

Has Meeting ci tv -j - iuCttu did not injure the occupants serious Active Work of Building for ny. New Industry. j Mr. and Mrs. Doyle has been look- ing after the disposal of the flowers From Tuesday's Daily Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the stockholders of the Co-Operative Creamery company was held at the court house here and the final steps started toward getting the creamery into active operation. ? The creamery is one that is 100 ner cent farmers, most unusual in such an organization and they will - . . .. have a splendid opportunity or op- erating here one of the most sue- cessful creameries in the state and which will grow larger as the time goes on and the bridge over the Mis- souri river will afford a larger mar- ket for the products and also a great- j er supply of cream from that section of western Iowa. The meeting yesterdaywas called to get the organization of the com pany accomplished and the seven di rectors were picked by the stockhold ers, they being W. F. Nolte, H. L. Gayer, John Hobscheidt, Jr., Henry F. Nolting, E. H. Spangler, Nick Frederich, and A. A. Wetenkamp. The directors will in the next few days meet and name their president, secretary and other officers that may be necessary. The site of the new creamery building will also be decided upon by the building committee and the di- rectors in the next few days and then the real task of the erecting of one of the best creameries in the west will be commenced. The outlook for a creamery in this section is one that is most pleasing and the result of the canvass of this section made within a radius of some eighteen miles, shows that the cream and butter fat . is three times that which was first anticipated by the boosters for the creamery. In many localities i t has been found necessary to enlist the aid and backing of the residents of the towns where the creameries have been es tablished and they been stockholders but not so In this project every stockholder of the company Is an active farmer and one that is en - gaged in managing a farm at this time and with the splendid ability and the keen insight of the splendid type of the Cass county farmers to guide it, the creamery Is! headed for a great success. The work of canvassing the resi dents of the county districts on the creamery proposition has been con ducted by Harry E. Clay, represent ing the Peterman Construction Co., of Chicago and A. R. Johnson of this city and with the very best of re sults, which has more than pleased the workers and brought forth the fact that a great deal more cream is produced on the Cass county farms than anticipated in the first survey. There are over one hundred and seventy stockholders in the creamery! association and as has been said j every one is a real practical farmer J and have the experience in the farm that should aid in making the cream ery a real success in every way. The plans that have been made for the building that will house the creamery call for a strictly modern and up to date creamery building, one that is sanitary and fireproof in every way and which will be able to handle a large amount of cream each day. The building will be made to comply with all state requirements and sanitary regulations as to equip- ment. refrigeration and sanitation and will be electrically equipped with the most modern machinery in and it was with regret that the mem-(Hand" and "Abide With Me." every way for the producing of but- bers of the church there parted withj The Philathea class of which Mrs. ter and the by-products of the cream this splendid family, but the call to Atterberry was a member was pres and butter fat. la field of greater service was one thatnt in a body at the services.

Handling of the Gravel Highway Being Discussed Kin: of Trails Highway in Otoe County Sacrificed and Which Brings on Controversy. From Wednesdays Dally The sacrification of a part of the the King of Trails highway in northern Otoe county between N- braska City and Union, is the subject of a groat deal of complaint and dLs- cussion among those who travel that portion of the highway, as the high- way in this particular locality is without sufficient gravel and the , i . Y V. . roaa overeers Claim ana which has also been the cause of arousing the wrath of the traveling public. The condition of the highway has been discussed by Herbert Schwad erer, who has charge of the federal and state road in Otoe and Cass counties and who has been opposed to the methods used and who has favored placing more gravel on the roads. To the Nebraska City News Press, Mr. Schwaderer declared that he would not permit a projected scarifi cation program on the south part of the road until he had been assured, after experimenting with one mile, that a condition similar to that at the north end might be avoided. "The whole trouble is that there isn't enough gravel on the road. The scarifying process has brought dirt to the top and the gravel has either been buried or thrown away. I have told the engineers that they would have trouble. It is my honest opinion that we'll have no road on the north end by spring unless a lot of gravel is poured on." One of the bones of contention just now, it has been hinted by men close to the Department of Public Works, is a stalemate between the department and the gravel pit own er. There are intimations that the state has been paying too much for gravel with the result that in some instances it is not able to buy any. But drivers of trans-continental machines, whose vehicles are partly responsible for the miserable condi tion of the federal highway through Otoe county, declare that they have never seen such a poor job of "road fixing" as that between Union and Nebraska City. "Paving must come for this road," Mr. Schwaderer says. "Nothing else will stand up under the traffic. I know, too, that when winter is over there will be no surface left on No. 75 unless a large amount of gravel is put on the road now." FUNERAL OF MRS. ATTERBERRY From Monday's Dally The funeral services of Mrs. Jesse Atterberry were held on Sunday af ternoon at 2:30 at the First Meth odist church and were very largely attended by the members of the fam ily of the departed and the many friends, the church being filled to its capacity by those called to pay their last tributes of respect. The service was conducted by Rev. H. E. Sortor, pastor of the church of which the departed had been a member since childhood and who paid a tribute to the memory of this splendid lady and gave to the sor rowing ones words of comfort and hope in the hour of sadness and be reavement. A double quartet composed of Mesdames Edward Roman, E. G. Shallenberger. E. H. Wescott. Harry Schultz and Messers John Frady, Eu gene Bushnell, W. A.
