The Old Settlers Reunion.
On account of the depression and
the former meetings costing pretty
high many of hte citizens were rath
er loath to take up the proposition
of holding a picnic this year. Judge
Charles L. Graves, of Piattsmouth,
who put in some forty years working
for the success of the Old Settlers
association and fearing lest the
meeting this year lapse, came to
Union last Friday with the writer
and offered a proposition that if the
town of Union was not going to hold
their picnic that Piattsmouth would
nut it on at Plattsmoutn tor mis
year, rnis surreu in lovers ui
picnic and they considered the mat
ter and while some wanted the pic
nic nere tnoy rearea me expense.
It looks like after there had been
some 4 j annual picnics neiu mat i
would be too bad to allow the meet
to lupse. There was to be
in
inpptinsr of ihose interested in the
movement for Tuesday night and as
we are writing we do not know wha
has been done, but hope that they
will hold the picnic as they have
iluring times past. Come, get togeth
er boys, and hold your picnic so that
in the years which are to come no
one can say that there was ever
break in the years of holding the
picnics.

H0ESE KILLS MAN
From Tuesday's Daily '
This morning a message was re
ceived by Sheriff Ed W. Thimgan
from Greenwood to the effect that a
young man, Harry Seymour, 25, had
been found dead. The young man
was found on a farm near Ashland,
in Cass county, he being engaged in
working at various farms in that sec
tion. From the indications it is
thought that Seymore, who was en
gaged in driving cattle, had crossed
a small ditch or had tried to have his
horse leap the ditch and the horse
had fallen and crushed the young
man. As there was no indication of
anything but accidental death, an
inquest was not deemed necessary by
County Atttorney W. G. Kieck, coroner.

Berlin, Aug .9. The government
tonight invoked extraordinary pow
ers, including the death penalty, in
an effort to put a stop to outbursts
of political violence which have re
suited in the killing of at least 140
persons and serious injuries to more
than one thousand since June 1.
With the approval of President
Paul von Hindenburg, three emer
gency decrees were issued by Chan
cellor von Papen.
One of these extended the politi
cal truce to September 1. Another
set up heavy penalties, including sen
tence of death, for act3 of terrorism.
The third instituted special "speed"
courts to deal summarily with of

wait for President von Hindenburg
to return from his country estate at
Neudeck in East Prussia.

The substance of the three de
crees was conveyed to the president
by telephone, and he approved them.
Meanwhile Adolf Hitler, whose Nazi
storm troopers are held accountable
for much of the violence, took steps
to check the political passions of his
followers.

Opposition newspapers expressed

too late to put an end to the riot3
and sabotage which have kept Ger
many in turmoil for weeks. But
members of the cabinet voiced the
belief that the emergency decrees
were sufficiently drastic to stamp
out the regime of terror.
Among the offenses which will be
considered in the new "speed" courts
are gun carrying, arson, flooding.

with the railways, regardless of
