Nickles for a Great Many Years, Found Dead Early Today. Prom Monday's Dally Thomas Nelson, 72, who for the past twelve years has been an as sistant at the lumber yard and coal office of George E. Nickles, at Mur ray, was found dead this morning at his home in Murray. Mr. Nelson had been in the cus tom of opening the yard for business each morning and today parties ar riving there early were unable to get In and accordingly called Mr. Nickles, who came down and stopped at the home of Mr. Nelson to learn if he was home. It was found that he had passed away apparently in the night and it was thought that death had occurred suddenly as he was fully dressed and apparently had been reading. Mr. Nelson was a former resident of Springfield and had taught school in that section of'the state and was a man of very fine education and ability. The only relative in this part of the state as far as known is a son, Lawrence, of Omaha, who was noti fied of the death. DENOUNCE SLOT MACHINES OPENS BEAUTY SHOP Miss Gladys Inman, of Council Bluffs, has reopened the beauty shoppe in the Hotel Plattsmouth and is now looking after the needs of the ladies of the city in this line. The new operator of the shop has for the past seven years been engaged in operating a shop in Council Bluffs and comes very highly recommended as an expert in all lines of the profession. The Cass County Christian Fel lowship association, composed of the the church men of the county, have taken a very firm and decided posi tion against the proposed legalizing of slot machines in the state where they have long been banned. . The action was taken with the adoption of resolutions at the meet ing held at AIvo on Sunday. It is fortunate that this group has so definitely stepped out in con demnation of this attempt to bring onto the people of the state a curse that will bring ruin to many and benefit only to monopolies that con trol this gambling evil. In the attempt to induce the peo ple of the state to let down the bar riers to the slot machine evil, it is made to appear that they will pro duce a great amount of money to provide for old age assistance but for each penny given the assistance hundreds will enrich the operators. CLEARING PARKING LOTS Prom Monday's Daily The city street department force was busy today in clearing off the vacant lots at Seventh and Main streets and arranging them so that they might be used for car parking during the King Korn Karnival the last of the week. Thes,e lots are well located and should help a great deal in the relief of the parking problem.
