WIFE DESERTION
From Friday' rally.
The authorities of Madison county
notified the authorities here Wednes
day evening that thy were desirous
cf securing Charles Bates, who was
wanted at Norfolk on a charge of wife
desertion and that if he were held
here they would .'.end tlown and have
him taken back to Norfolk. Owing to
the illness of Sheriff Quinton it was
necessary to have Chief of Police Wil
liam Iiarclay look after the matter
and he at once hastened to the resi
dence of Mr. Eatas and placed him
under arrest and conveyed him to the
county jail where he was lodged to
await the coming of the Madison coun
ty .sheriff. The man was very much
cm aged at his arri'st and it was with
the greatest difficulty that the chief
was able to handle him without using
force but finally s?xured him safe be
hind the doors of the prison and when
there the prisoner proceeded to raise
several more varieties of trouble and
whan his meals were served to him be
displayed a very ugly disposition and
on one of these occasions hurled his
jar of coffee to the ground, breaking
it, and otherwise conducting himself
in a wrathful manner. Yesterday aft
ernoon the sheriff came down from
Madison and secured the warlike gen
tleman and conveyed him back to that
place to face the charge of wife de
sertion. FORMER BURLINGTON
EMPLOYE HERE DIES
IN KANSAS CITY
This morning the sad news was re
ceived here of the death at his home
in Kansas City of Harold Williams, a
former Plattsmouth boy and who up
to a little over a year ago had been
employed here in the Bu'Iington
hops. It was not known until some
thing over a week ago that Mr. Wil
liams was ill when it was learned that
he was suffering from the dread mal
ady, consumption, and his condition
gradually grew worse until his death.
His mother, Mrs. Mattie Williams,
was called to Kansas City a few days
go. reaching there in time to be
with her son in his last hours.
The message that "Happy" Wil
liams, as he was so well known here.
was no more, brought a feeling of the
most profound regret here in this city
where he had grown to manhood and
where his life had grown in friendship
with so many of the young people
who will feel keenly that no more
shall they have the privilege of meet
ing him and enjoying his genial soci
ety as in the years gone by. Mr. Wil
liams, with his family, left here short
ly over a year ago and located in Kan
sas City where he had since been em
ployed. He leaves his mother, Mrs.
Mattie Williams, of Glenwood. Iowa,
and his wife to mourn his death.

young man, who were prostrated by
the sudden and tragic death of Mr.

he was getting off of a street car at
Twenty-seventh and Lake streets in
Omaha. The accident occurred Men
day evening at C:-13 and at 0:4.". the
unfortunate young man passed away

of the case was that the bride of six
mooths is left to mourn the los of the
husband and for two days following
the accident was unconscious and for
a time it was feared that she would
not recover from the effects of her
grief. The body was taken from
Omaha to the homo of the parents at
Havelork on Wednesday and there a
short funeral service was held at the
home of the parent? and the body was
taken to Holdridge, to the home of

services were held and the body in
terred in the cemetery at that place.
Mr. Peters acompanied the body of
his nephew from Omaha to Havelock
for the funeral services, returning
from there home.
This young man who met his death
so tragically at the commencement of
a blight and promising career was
born in Plattsmouth twenty-nine years
ago, where his father. Michael Schirk,
was engaged in the grocery business
in partnership with H. M. Soennich
sen, and later when the family remov
ed from this city he took up his school
work in Havelock and Lincoln and,
graduating from the high school, later
entered the state university and also
Creighton college, where his ability
received a worthy recognition. He was
employed in the office of Master Me
chanic Ackerman at Lincoln for a
short time and last fall was sent to
Omaha to look after some work for
the Rurlington in that city and was
married on October 20 to Miss Adeline
Klipingr of Holdridge, Nebraska,
who is left to mourn his death. To
the family the deepest sympathy cf
their old friends will be extended in

STRANGER IN A
STRANGE PLACE GETS
IN HANDS QF POLICE
S: turday evening, or rather early
Sunday morning the family of John
Bauer, sr., were aroused by a great
deal of noise in one of the lower rooms
of the hou.-e, as though some one was
moving about and occasionally falling
over the different pieces of furniture.
Mr. Bauer, investigating the matter,
together with his son-in-law, Louis
Egenberger, was v2ry much surprised
to find a stranger calmly seated in the
parlor of the houne taking life easy
and evidently und?r the influence of
liquor and who had mistaken the
Bauer home for his own little cottage.
All efforts to move the stranger failed
as lie was evidently bent on making an
extended visit, and it was necesasrry
finally to call in the police to assist in
the removal of the unwelcome guest.
Chief of Police Barclay and Officer
Jcnes responded to the call and in a
ery few seconds had the invader of
this peaceful home on his way to the
village lockup to rest from his load of
alcoholic beverage. The man was a
stranger ad his "onditien was such
that he could not clearly tell who he
was as he was led protesting!' on his
way to jail by the officers.
The prisoner, bing desirous of se
curing his liberty, deposited $8 yester
day with Chief Barclay to cover the
fine for being drunk and was released
and this morning the cash bond was
forfeited in Judge Archer's court and
the city treasury made richer by this
amount.

ity. The meeting will be held in the
Parmele theater at 8 o'clock as ar
i angements have been made by the
committee in charge to secure the use
of the theater for this purpose. Mr.
Bryan has always drawn large crowds
at his meetings in this city where he
has appeared in evory campaign since
18f0. and his public speeches are al
ways well worth hearing as he well
deserves the reputation as one of the
great orators of the United States.
This year the visit of Mr. Bryan is
primarily in the interests of his broth
er, C. W. Bryan, for governor, as well
as in behalf of the prohibition amend
ment to the state constitution which
he is advocating throughout the state.
He will also give his views on the
questions relating to his withdrawal
from the cabinet of President Wilson
and the democratic party in Nebraska.
MRS. WM. ROSE, SR.
FASSED AWAY WEDNESDAY
A very strange accident which called
another of our well known pioneers to
the world beyond occurred last Mon

and Mrs. William Rose sr., was de
scending the cellar step of her home
and when a few steps from the bottom
she lost her balance and fell, striking
the back of her head on the cement
floor. The shock of the fall caused
a hemorrhage and death was the re
sult. She was unconscious until the
