nessed the last chapter in the color
ful career of Lieut. G. P. Cather,
first Nebraska officer killed upon the
battlefields of France. An elaborate
military funeral service was conduc
ted at the opera house in Bladen at
2.00 o'clock, the crowd being such in
proportions that the seating capacity
wa.T sufficient for only about a third
of the throng. The middle section
was reserved principally for the
relatives of the deceased and the
soldiers and sailors having part in the
services. The Holdredge Legion
band, together with Capt. Fred O.
Kelly, singers and others, occupied
the stage, which was a mass of flow
ers and floral tributes.
The American flag was draped from
the ceiling. The flag draped casket
of the hero occupied the place just In
front of the stage. A portrait of
the deceased stood at each end of the
stage. An easel upon which were
pinned his many medals stood at the
left of the stage. As tho band play
ed the- relatives marched in and took
their scats followed by tho uniformed
soldiers and sailors, a few Civil War
veterans and Spanish American sol
diers. Tho program opened with a male
quartette singing a selection. Follow
ing this Capt. Kelly offered up a
prayer. Emil Swanberg, formerly of
Holdredge, now of Grand Island, gave
a solo, "Face To Face." Tho obituary
of tho dead officer was read by Capt.
Kelly, also numerous letters from his
commanding officers, nil of which
commended him for his unflinching
bravery and his consideration for his
men. Aitor another song by the
