Louisville Man
Found Shot Near
Bingham, Nebr.
R. F. Bartles, Principal of the School
at Bingham, Nebraska, May
Have Been Murdered
R. F. Bartles, formerly a resident
of Louisville, who has been serving
as the principal of the schools at
Bingham, Nebraska, was found Tues
day wounded in a lonely draw of a
pasture near Bingham, a shotgun
near his body.
The man was in serious condition
when found and was hurried to medi
cal aid by thoe who found the body
but died at 9:30 Tuesday morning.
It was thought at first that the
death was suicide, the unfortunate
man having been in financial diffi
culties, it was claimed, but this was
doubted later as Bartles before his
death faintly exclaimed, "He killed
me, he killed me."
The authorities are investigating
the case to find out what may be
possible as to the murder theory as
the friends of the unfortunate man
feel that his troubles were not of
such a serious nature as to warrant
suicide.
The deceased was married some
two months ago at Bingham to one
of the members of the leaching force
there. He is also survived by three
small children by a former marriage,
his first wie having been killed in
an auto accident near Chappell, Ne
braska, two years ago.

May Festival
is Picture of
Rarest Charm
One of the Most Elaborately Arranged
and Presented in the Platts
mouth Schools
From Wednesday's Dally
The charm of a rare summer day,
with a glorious background of beau
tiful trees and the rich carpeting of
green in Garfield park, made an
ideal spot for the annual May Fes
tival of the Plattsmouth city schools,
yesterday afternoon.
The event was under the direction
of Miss Ruth Lindsay and B. E.
Woodward of the city schools and
who were assisted by the teachers in
all of the grades of the school to
make it a wonderful success in every
way and one that not only reflected
great credit on the teachers who
had so thoughtfully carried out the
details of the various offerings but
as well on every one that partici
pated from the tots of the kinder
garten to the more mature students
of the upper classes of the high
school. It is to be regretted that
the names of all of those who par
ticipated in the event cannot be
given as each and every one was de
serving of the greatest praise for
their part in the event.
The arrangements were much bet
ter than last year and afforded the
very large crowd ample opportunity
of enjoying the various features of
the excellent program from the pro
cessional of the royal party to the
farewell schoolday song which would
recall especially to those leaving
school so soon, the dear old golden
rule days.
The throne of which the youthful
majesties of the glad springtime
were to be occupants with their
court, was erected at the east of the
park and faced to the west to give
the greatest opportunity to the
friends to see and enjoy to the full
est the delightful scenes of the page
ants as they were presented.
As the orchestra sounded the pro
cessional the tiny trumpeters ad
vanced to sound the bugle notes that
the king and queen of May were ap
proaching and then came the tiny
and winsome flower maidenB to pre
cede the maid of honor. Miss Mary
Swatek, with the aid of the king,
Charles Nowacek, then amid the
tumult of applause came the king
and queen, and incidently this was
the first time in the annual May fete
that the king has been named by
the school, the first of the royal
house of May being Frederick Wehr
bein, while on his arm in her youth
ful loveliness was the charming
qxieen, Mis3 Mildred Schulz, a pic
ture of rare delight in her gown or
white and the flowing train. The
tiny attendants were the children
of the Central high kindergarten
which is under the direction of Miss
Shawhan. Following the attendants
of the king and queen were the
ladies of the court, the girls of the
senior class in a varied array of
beautiful gowns. The party ap
proached the throne where the tiny
crown bearer bore the golden band
that was to encircle the head of the
king while on that of the queen . was
the floral wreath of May, the queen
being crowned by Miss Swatek while
Mr. Nowacek placed the crown upon
the brow of the king.
The royal party seated on the
flower bedecked throne, the little
girls of the third and fourth grades
of the Columbian school under the
direction of Miss Mortensen came
with their Maypole to perform the
traditional dance which was artis
tically given and a fitting commence
ment of the program.
Then came the "School Days"

with the first and second grades of
the Columbian school which was very
cleverly given as the strains of
School Days" were sung by the
Junior high chorus.
One of the elaborate arranged fea
tures of the festival was that of "The
Old Woman in the Shoe" in which
a large shoe was used to hide the
old lady as well as a bevy of young
sters who furnished a very clever
interpetation of this well known
nursery rhyme.
The little folks of the kindergar
ten and first grades under the di
rection of Miss Helen Farley, gave
a very charming rendition of the
parts of the well known nursery
rhymes, "Jack Horner," "Queen of
Hearts," "Simple Simon and the
Pieman," "Boy Blue," "Mistress
Mary," "King Cole and His Fiddlers
Three," "Bo Peep," "Jack Be Nim
ble" and "Miss Muffet and the Spi
der," each of the little folks render
ing their part in the finest manner.
The little folks of the kindergarten
and first grade under the direction
of Miss Prohaska gave a very en
tertaining presentation of "Play
time," while the kindergarten and
first grade directed by Miss Ruth
Tidball presented "Health Parade"
demonstrating the health campaigns
in the school.
In the quaint long dresses and
Indian costumes the Becond grade
under the direction of Miss Ault
gave "Playing House" and "Playing
Indian," which was most enjoyable
to all of the members of the large
crowd.
I ine nine snowmen or ine nrsi
tens, had the assistance of Miss Max
Ine Cloidt as the "Snowman," in an
eccentric dance and in which the
tiny white garbed figures Joined.
The boys of the third grade under
Miss Selma Diehm, gave the imper
sonation of "The Cubs," and made
worthy protypes of the batting and
battling Cubs that have made Chi
cago famous.
The section of the pageant devoted
to geography gave the opportunity
of the audience seeing the older mem
bers of the high school as well as
the little folks in their offering,
"Holland," a dancing number being
presented by Miss Jean Hayes and
Miss Maxine Cloidt in their usual
clever manner this was followed by
"Japan" in a bevy of the little folks
of the second and third grades of
the Wintersteen Hill school under
the direction of Miss Edith Cook.
Then came "Scotland" in the person
of Miss Vestetta Robertson, who in
the costume of the land of her an
cestry gave the national Scotch
dance. The Misses Patricia, Ruth
and Rose Ferrie, brought to the num
ber "Spain" great charm and beauty
in their Spanish dance and this sec
tion of the program was closed with
the "Do-ti-la-sol" by the third grade
pupils of Miss Diehm.
The Junior high girls directed by
Miss Martha Gorder gave an exhibi
tion of their physical culture exer
cises that was most entertaining and
6howed the efforts made in the
schools to provide the student with
all physical advantages as well as
the mental training.
The fourth grade pupils of Miss
Helen Farley were introduced as the
dancing part of the operetta,
"Jimmy" and in which the junior
high chorus assisted with the vocal
refrain.
The pupils of the fifth grade of the
Columbian school presented "Mathe
matics," of the solid variety, which
was cleverly carried out by three of
the grades.
The unrolling of the pages of the
history of the United States was de
picted in the pageant, opening with
the "Pilgrims," the demure maidens
of the Puritan days and which was
given by the fifth grade pupils of
Miss Amana Hiatt, as was the "Col
lonia Days" featuring the old time
minuet of grace and stately charm.
With this passed the early history
and then came that of the conquer
ing of the west when the covered
wagon appeared with its scouts and
the tiny ladies in their hoop skirts
of the early fifties, these being from
the fifth grade of Miss Hiatt with
the exception of the driveers of the
covered wagon, James Robertson and
Stephen Davis. The pioneer band
was beset by the tribe of Indians
from the third and fourth grade of
Miss Mortensen and who Instead of
scalping the settlers proceeded to
oring forth the pipe of peace and
make way for the peaceful settle
ments. V
The came the World War nrHh
the soldiers from the fifth grade of
Miss Hiatt giving a fine exhibition
drilling and receiving a great hand
while following them came the Red
Cross nurses, the injured soldiers
and the stretcher bearers, all of the
iouria grade or. Miss Lydia Todd and
the first to fourth grades of Miss
Alice James.
The closing section of the pageant
was in the form of "College" in
which the role of the studious be
spectacled students was taken . by
pupils of Miss Simonsen, in the fifth
grade and who gave ample proof of
the studious efforts of the young
people in their school work. Athle
tically the school life was represented
by two football teams from the room
of Miss Simonsen, with the Pan
thers from Pittsburgh opposing the
scarlet and cream of Nebraska, with
the exception that the Cornhuskers
were the winners as was fitting and
just. As the black garbed students
on commencement day the pupils of
Miss Alice Bly and Grace Nolting
appeared.
The girls of the high school com
prising Helen Schultz, Winifred
Rainey, Maxine Cloidt, jean Hayes,
Margaret Shellenbarger, Lucille Al
bert, Eleanor Swatek, and Helen Vir
ginia Price appeared and gave their
impressions of "Happy Days," that
happy time of school days and which
with the singing of "School days,
school days, dear old golden rule
days" closed one of the best May
Festivals that the Plattsmouth high
school has enjoyed and which was
regretted as the last that Miss Lind
say will be able to direct and help
produce.
