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. '

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
