SUIT TO COLLECT
INSURANCE BEGUN
Case of Mrs. Annie Dollie Gaster vs.
the Woodmen of the World Starts
Today in the. District Court.
Ficm Friday's Daily.
This morning the time of the dis
trict court was taken up in selecting
the jury that is to try the case of Mrs.
Annie Dollie Gaster against the Wood
men of the World, to collect there
from an insurance policy for $2,000
which was carried by the husband
of the plaintiff, Albert Gaster, in
the fraternal insurance company. .
Mr. Gaster died in this city July
6. 1920. and his lifeless body was dis
covered by the wife and step son
who returned home on July 7th from
a visit in South Dakota, and found
on entering the house the body of
the husband and stepfather stretch
ed on the bed and in a lifeless con
dition. There was also found a
small bottle of crystal strychnine
and at the time it was supposed that
this was the cause of the death-although
no reason could be ascribed
for Mr. Gaster taking his life.
At the time of the death the mem
bers of the family had expressed the
belief that the death had been caused
by heart trouble and not by the use
of the strychnine. The body of Mr.
Gaster was examined by Dr. P. J.
Flynn as soon as discovered and it
was decided that death had oc
curred from twenty-four to thirty
six hours prior to the finding of the
body.
Mr. Gaster at the time of his death
was a member of Evergreen camp.
Woodmen of the World of this city
and carried in that society a life
insurance policy for the sum of
$2,000, and the head offices of the
Woodmen refused to pay the amount
of the pdlicy under the conditions
of the death of the policy holder.
The mother of Albert Gaster, re
siding at West Point, Neb., appears
as an intervenor in the case, through
her attorney Geo. M. Tunnison of
Omaha, claiming that the marriage
existing between Mr. and Mrs. Gaster
was illegal owing to the fact that
Mrs. Gaster was married at the time
of her marriage to Mr. Gaster, and
that the insurance should be paid
to the mother. The plaintiff in. the
case claims that the first husband of
the plaintiff had been absent for a
period of more than one year and
was presumed to be dead when the
second marriage occurred.
The Woodmen of the World con
tended that the fact that the claims
made in the application for the in
surance were fradulent and invalidat
ed the policy and also that the de
ceased came to his death through
the use of poison and this, too, con
stituted a reason that the company
should 5 not be held liable for the
amount' of the policy.
The jury in the case is composed
of the" following: H. II .Gerbling,
Frank H. Sehuldice, James E. Grif
fin, Henry Crozier, Bert Philpot, John
Murdoch. C. H. Lewis. W. T. Hutch
ison, J. W. Tritsch. O. A. Davis and
Frank Gustin.
The plaintiff in the action is rep
resented by Attorney Matthew Ger
ing white the interests of the W.
O. W. are being looked after by
Frank. II. Gaines of Omaha, general
counsel of the order.
The case of Frances S. Vallery vs.
Henry Meisinger, et al. which was
tried to the court yesterday was
continued over until a later date
when it will be argued before Judge
Begley.

The Orpheus Quartet Which Appear-
Scho1 WaS
One of Best Ever Heard Here
From Friday's Dally.
Last evening there appeared in
this city as a part of the winter ly-
eeuni course, one of the best musical
organizations that has ever been
'"ought to this city in the Orpheus
quartet, me closing number ot me
lyceum course.
The four young men who com
prised the quartet. are artists in ev
er-v sense of the word and their en-
entertainment si deserving of all of
the commendatory notices that have
been given them.
The progiam was well selected
and embraced all classes of music
that gave the artists a wide range of
entertainment from the high stand
ard classics to the popular melodies
of the day and "the excellent voices
of the members of the quartet were
heard to the best advantage in these
numbers.
The audience was the largest that
has appeared here this season and
the persons who failed to attend
missed one of the best things in the
musical line that has ever appeared
before a Plattsmouth audience.
During the past season the lyceum
course has not received the support
that it deserved as the program this
year included some of the very best
features of high class entertainment
that ha.s ever been brought to the
city numbering a high class magician,
lecturer and three very pleasing mus
ical organizations of more than usual
ability. The promoters of the course
have endeavored to give the people
of the city something better than
the usual run of entertainment and
in this respect were successful but
their efforts were not apprecated to
the extent that it should have been
and the patronage was far below
what it should have been for the ex
cellence of the series of entertain
ments offered.
STILL AFTER THE
AUTO LICENSES
Department of Public Works Active
Rounding Up Persons Who Drive
Cars Without License.
George E. Johnson, secretary to
the department of public works, has
been doing everything possibzle to co
operate with the various officials in
the different parts of the state sinca
the first of the year in the collection
of automobile license tax. Since
January 16. .Mr. Johnson has had
special agents in eighty of the dif
ferent county seats over the stafe.
The special agents report that many
cars are being laid up and not used
because of the owners of the auto
mobiles have not the means to buy
automobile license numbers and on
account of the shortage of funds at
home they prefer to wait until they
get ready to use their automobiles
in the spring before they invest in
an automobile number. In some
counties, the county treasuries re
port that there are more automo
bile numbers sold in their counties
than at this time last year and in oth
er counties sales are running very
short. The shortage seems to appear
mostly in -the western part of the
state and in the sand hill country.
Mr. Johnson intends to keep the mon
ey in the hands of the different coun
ty treasurers and has instructed all
of his special agents to file a com
plaint against any operating an auto
mobile on a delinquent automobile
number and to file a complaint
against any operating without any
number. One of the problems which
has given the department much grief
during the past two years will be ov
ercome when the legislature passes
a bill which will not permit an in
dividual to run a dealer's number.
The treasurers of the various coun
ties are a little more interested this
year because the department of pub
lic, works permits them to keep most
of the money in their own hands un
til it is ready to be used on the
roads.

WEEPING WATER
HAS NEAR RACE WAR
Mexicans Who Hud Been Brought

Considerable excitement and talk
was astir here fc a few days last
week following the attempt of
Thursday night to drive out of town
the Mexican quarry workers that had
been secured as car loaders at the
Myers plajit.
A bunch of fellows went cut from
town and called a, the lodging house
of the Mexicans and proceeded to
"throw a scare" that had the Mexi
cans pretty well persuaded to move.
However, the interference of the
county attorney next morning put a
different complexion on the matter
and there have been no further at
tempts along this line.
As near as we cm judge by sifting
out the talk that is going around, the
fellows who called on the Mexicans
while not employees of the quarry or
to any grea textenr prospecitve ones.
intended it as a protest against the
importation of "foreign labor" when

a change of venue and us the final
triumph of the defendant in his long
fight for freedom. On the first trial

mation to the prisoner in open court
as required by law.

presentation of the claim that the
young man could not secure a fair
trial in Otoe county, was granted a
trial in Cass county and. the result
has been that he has won in his
fight and goes forth a free man from
the charges preferred against him by
the Otoe county authorities.
The case has attracted a great
deal of attention in this city and a
large number of spectators were in
attendance during the trial to hear
