STUDY CLUB MEETS
Mis. R. H. Hastain returned Thurs
day evening from an extended east-! from Billings, Mont
ern trip. She visited first an old
time friend, Mr3. Frederic Harring
ton, Just out of Boston. These two
ladies spent the lonely months of the
time their husbands were in France
during the late war, together and
had not met until this visit. Mrs.
Harrington's husband was killed in
action and she has since remarried.
They have a beautiful suburban
home.
Mrs. Hastain also visited Bridge-
port, Connecticut, which she enjoyed
very much and a sight-seeing trip to
New York was veiy interesting. She
visited her aunt, Mrs. S. H. Atwood
and family, in Washington, D. C,
and took many sight-seeing trips in
tiiat vicinity. The weeks sped all too
swiftly and she fully enjoyed herself,
but after all found that there is no
place like home.
After getting the house in hand
again and eradicating the ravages of
Friend Husband's housekeeping, she
went to Lincoln Sunday for a short
visit with her mother, Mrs. Nellie P.

Strikes in the Dark.
The two went to Bethune, Colo.,
when? Abbott had relatives. Tin y
worked for a time on farms near
there. Then Abbott was summoned
to Lincoln by his parents, and young
Warner decided to go with film.
The quarrel broke before they
reached Fairbury. In a desultory
conversation, they began arguing
about the distance between Beth
une f.nd Denver. Angry words were
exchanged. Suddenly, Abbott re
lated, Warner struck him a blow on
the head with a club.
The car was in utter darkness. Ab
bott groped about until he found
Warner, he said, then seized the club
from him and struck. Warner fell
from the first blow, he said. He
struck twice more.
Abbott Flees Car.
At Fairbury it began to grow light.
Abbott saw his companion lying in
a pool of blood on the floor, he said,
and became frightened. He left the
car and went to a doctor to have his
own injuries treated, saying that he
had been hurt by a rolling car door.
Wsirner was found in the freight
car when it reached the Lincoln
yards. He was taken to a Lincoln
hospital, where he died yesterday
afternoon.
When Fairbury officers heard of
the death of Warner they communi
cated with Lincoln officials and the
arrest of Abbott at his home here
followed. After hours of question
ing. Captain Olson said, the youth
confessed. Abbott did not know that
the Warner boy had died, the officer
asserted.
Mother Told by Phone.
Body of the boy victim lay un
identified for several hours in a mor
gue. It was identified by his school
teacher and his father, Carl A. War
ner. Mr. Warner said the boy had
run away from home last August.
Identification of the body came af
ter Mrs. Warner read in a newspaper
of the boy's death. She telephoned
the mortuary, asking if the body was
that of a red haired and freckled
youth. Told that it was, she scream
ed .and dropped the phone. Mr. War
ner then went to the mortuary and
completed the identification.
Abbott is son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank M. Abbott. 3708 North Elev
