lived, as the little one passed away

where the joy had gladdened their
hearts. The remains of the little one,
who was a most beautiful child, were
brought to the home of the grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. LaRue,

ed by the Rev. W. A. Taylor, a very
close friend of the family, and in

sorrow or partings.

The fiftieth anniversary of the
dedication of the Wyoming Methodist
Episcopal church, the country point
of the Union-Wyoming circuit, was
celebrated on Sunday, November 25,
with an all day service at the church
eight miles northwest of Nebraska
City.
The service opened with preaching
at 11 a. m., Dr. George I. Wright, of
Lincoln, a former District Superin-
tendent of the old Nebraska City dis
trict, preaching a sermon based on
the text, "Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached throughout the
whole world, this also that she hath
done shall be spoken of for a memor
ial of her
This text was taken from ;
Mark 14:9
At noon the ladies of the church '
served a delightful dinner, which
was enjoyed by all attending.
The afternoon service began at 2
o'clock. Dr. E. T. George, who is
now the Chaplain of the Omaha
Methodist hospital, and a former Dis
trict Superintendent of the old Te
cumseh district, preached a sermon
from the text found in II Cor. 6:18,
"I will be a Father unto you."
Letters of greeting from former
pastors were read by the program
committee, Mrs. J. P. Jay, Mrs. Har
vey Barkhurst and Harold James.

lovely. This little church is indeed j
dear to many for within its walls
they received their first lessons in
Christian nurture. In the adjoining
cemetery lie buried many of their
loved ones.
The Wyoming church was the out
growth of the first Methodist circuit
organized in Nebraska territory, then
comprising Kansas and Nebraska.
This circuit included country ex
tending frjyn Nebraska City, or old
Fort Kearney, as it was called then,
north to Rock Bluffs and then west
beyond Weeping Water, including
most of Otoe and Cass counties.
Bishop Ames sent Dr. W. H. Goode
to explore this territory in 1854, and
after he reported on the results of
his exploration, was placed in charge
of the work.
The first preaching point was es
tablished in Nebraska City, and the
work soon extended north to Rock
Bluffs, a small town situated - about
eight miles south of Plattsmouth.
Later on, the Rock Bluffs circuit
became independent of old Fort Kear
ney and comprised four points, in
cluding part of Cass county. The Cass
county preaching point was the Giles
school house. Rev. T. J. Cannon was
the first circuit rider. In 1875, Dr.
David Marquette held a great revival
in the schoolhouse. This led to the
permanent organization of the Wyom
ing class.
The needs of the class soon out
grew the school house and in April,
1878, under the leadership of Rev. j
F. B. Donisthorpe, it was decided to
build a church. The building was
erected and on December 21, 1878, it
was dedicated by Presiding Elder A.
G. White.
Thus for fifty years the church has
continued. It has had its trials, but
it has- also had its triumphs. It has
sent out Christian workers. It is
one of the few remaining real coun
try points to continue actively in this
part of Nebraska.

His Brother Will Cook, Kills

lated his- head.

Grill Jake Bird
for Confession
Three Spend Most of Night with
Suspect at Penitentiary at
Lincoln.
Convinced, it is understood, that
Jake Bird is the Omaha axman, Sher
iff Lainson, County Attorney North
ron and Chief of Detectives Ollie
Arnold of Council Bluffs, were at
the Nebraska penitentiary until
early this morning, grilling the Ne
gro. They left shortly before 2 a. m.
after putting the man through ques
tioning since early in the evening.
The officers, it is said, were hope
ful of breaking Bird into a confes
sion. Since his arrest Bird has pro
tested innocence and has offered an
alibi to account for his whereabouts
on the nights of the hatchet slayer's
activities, parts of his alibi have been
punctured it was stated. The Bluffs
officials went to Lincoln unannounc
ed early Monday night.
When the officers left the prison,
they were noncommittal on the re
sults of the nihgt's work. "I have
opinions, but that is not evidence,"
Mr. Northrop said.
Bird said afterwards that "they
sure are on the wrong track." He
said they had asked him "a lot of
questions."
May Be Fugitive.
What led them to undertake the
night grilling, the officers declined
to reVeal. Whether they had ob
tained new evidence or what, was
not forthcoming.
A dispatch from Oklahoma City to
The World-Herald Monday said that
aj picture of Bird showed resemblance
between him and a Negro of the
same name who escaped from the Ok
lahoma hospital for insane at Nor
man in 1927. He had been committed
there after fatally stabbing his wife
at Chickasha.
The Chickasha Negro had been
sent to the Oklahoma asylum Septem
ber 15, 1927. Because of a brain
malady, attributed to a social dis
ease, the Oklahoma Negro was un
able to walk when confined. He im-j
proved and escaped November 13,
1927, when he and two other Ne
groes broke through a' wall in their
dormitory. No trace has been had
of the trio since. Asylum officials
say a photo of the Omaha suspect
resembles the escaped man. No fin
gerprints of the Chickasha Negro
were taken at the asylum.
Bird, at Lincoln, has denied ever
being in Oklahoma.
Says Belt Like Axman's.
Physicians at Lord Lister hospital
announced that though Mrs. Harold
Stribllng was improving, she was
in no condition to see Jake Bird
again Monday for a second attempt
at identification. Sheriff McDonald
was notified not to bring the sus
pect to the hospital. When shown
the belt and buckle worn by Bird,
Mrs. Stribling did not positively
identify them as the ones worn by
her attacker, but said they were
exactly like them.
Deputy County Attorney Dickason
of Council Bluffs and two of his
deputies had a long talk with Mrs
Stribling Monday. She gave them
the same testimony she gave the
Omaha authorities.
Striblings .Visit Again.
Mr. and Mrs. Stribling were per
mi t ted to see each other again for
a few moments Monday afternoon.
They had also visited together Sun
day. Since regaining consciousness
Stribling's one desire seems to have
been to be with his wife. Whenever
attendants enter his room he invar
iably asks about her. The attack last
Tuesday morning was only lightly
toucher upon at - their second meet
ing. Doctors still fear that Stribling
might suffer a relapse if he permit
ted his mind to dwell too much on
the incident.
Bird had been a bellhop at the
Pathfinder hotel in Fremont, Neb
six weeks last summer but was dis
missed because he wandered around
in the upper halls in a suspicious
manner, William Dressel, manager,
said Monday. :Wor Id-He raid.
REFUSES TO BE CANDIDATE
State Representative C. L. Jones
of Schuyler, republican farmer leg
islator of Colfax county, who was
re-elected, will not be a candidate
for speaker of the house. - Mr. Jones
made this announcement Monday
during a visit to the capitol. He has
had letters from a great many of his
colleagues in the 1927 session tend
ering their support, but prefers to
remain in the ranks.
"I'm a poor man and have to look
after my affairs at home part of
the time," Jones, told The Star. ."I
need to get back to the farm on Fri
day afternoons when the legislature
adjourns over the week-end. So I'll

ership honors." .
