SMITH & PARMELE, DRUGGISTS, 510 Main Street, Plattsmouth, Nebraska Dies From Wounds Received Murderous Assault. In a BRIEFLY TOLD. Coroner's Jury, After Thoroughly In vestlgatlng the Facta In the Case, Charge the Victim' Nephew With the Crime of Harder Commencement Ex ercUe Largely Attended. Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock William Haight of Avoca, the unfor tunate man who was the victim of the rage of his nephew, Charles Haight, died as a result of the wound which he received. As near as we can tret the facts Charles Haight, a man about thirty five years of age, was doing some car penter work in a barber shop when his uncle, Wm. Haight, entered the shop. and the young man accused the latter of having undermined him in eecur ing a job using some pretty strong language, which the old roan re sented by telling young Haight that helled. Young Haight then grabbed the iron jack-plane he tai been using and with deadly aim he threw itathis uncle, striking the latter on the head and crushing his skull. For two days toe unfortunate victim lingered in battle with death, but yesterday he sank rapidly and toward evening he was called to his final rest. The old gentleman, it is said, leaves a family to mourn his untimely taking off. A coroner's inquest was held this morning, which brought in a verdict in accordance with the above facts, and recommended that Charles Haight be held to the district court on the charge of murder, without bail. The young man, who allowed his tern per to govern him in the commission of the crime, is now in jail, where he will doubtless remain until the next term of court. County Attorney Graves will file a new complaint charging him witJ murder, which may come up for a pre liminary hearing the first of the week. The Haights are nut repre sented as hard citizens, but it seems the young man had a vicious temper which he never tried to restrain. The Commencement Exercise. The Commencement exercises of the Plattsmouth high school at the Pres Dyienan cnircn iasi evening were well attended the large audience tes tifying their approval of the fine pro gramme by frequent applause. The opening number, an organ vol untary played with the usual taste and skill of Miss Kessler, was followed by an invocation by Dr. Baird. The sec ond number, a vocal duett, "Love," by Mieses Swearingen and Street, was rendered in such a pleasing manner as to call forth a vigorous encore, which was not responded to, much to the disappointment of their friends. Miss Kauble's beautifully performed eolo on the violin was followed by Hilt Wescott's valedictory .address, delivered in such a graceful manner that both instructors and fellow graduates had good reason to be proud of their pupil and companion'. The subject matter showed thought ful care and preparation, that would have done credit to a far older head than our Hilt's. Misses Kauble and Hnjeck's "Rev ery," for two violins, was played with such exquisite touch that everyone wished they could be heard more fre quently in our city. Rev. Wa P. Murray of Omaha de livered a fine address and presented the well-earned diplomas to the graduates as they stood before him in class, making a fine appearance with their lovely flowers. The class song. 'Fare well," which closed the program, was composed by Prof. McHugh and set to music by our talented young valedictorian, who played the accompaniment for the closing of the greatest event in the young lives of fifteen graduates from Plattemouth's high school. We must not omit to mention the decorations which were so artietically displayed as to call forth loud expres sions of admiration. On the front of the platform a large arch tastefully . draped with the class colors, bore the class motto "Step by Step We Gain the Heights," underneath was hung their emblem a. large gilt, four-leaf clover the whole tastefully twined with emilax. Beautiful potted plants, palms and jape jessamines filled the air with fragrance, which, together with the lovely gowns of the gradu ates, presented a picture' which will linger long in the minds of those pres ent.

JOE & FRAN: WATERMAN CORNER. A Had Dog Scare. Yesterday a large black dog of the New Foundland species came rushing down town from the northwest, biting and snapping at everything in its reach. It bit several dogs up toward Heisel's mill. It was finally killed by Fitzpatrick after it had bitten Mr. Coffee's doer near Main street. It is not known whether the dog had hv drophobia or not,as it was not frothing at the mouth, but its actions were very strange. Mr. Coffee had his dog Kiiiea at once and all dog owners should be very watchful for the next ten days to see that no trouble is de veloped. People cannot be too cam rul in keeping their children off the street where rabid dogs would be less liable to bite them. The New Drag Store.
