residuary legatee of most of Stadel
mann's property, which consists of
the equity in a house at 4313 Seward
street and some personal property,
the exact amount of which i3 not yet
known but which may exceed $5,000.
"The relatives whom Stadelmann
disinherited are Kate White, wife of,
.Mark wnite, rormeriy or kock t$iun,

SKETCH OF LIFE OF
LATE J. E, M'DANIEL
Death of Former Plattsmouth
Resident in That City.
The following taken from the
Lindsay (Cal.) Gazette of November
4th tells of the death of the late J.
E. McDaniel, for a number of years
a resident of this city and a brief
sketch of the life of the departed:
"John Edward McDaniel passed
away at eight o'clock yesterday
morning. November 3, 1921, follow
ing an illness of ten days from dia
betes. From the time he was taken
ill he became unconscious and re
mained so until the last. This was
the first severe illness of his life.
"Deceased was born in Des Moines.
Iowa, September 16, 1865. being 56
years of age. He was married in
Salina, Kansas, to Miss Virginia K.
Shinn, of West Virginia. September
11. 1890. To them were born three
children, all of whom are living:
Mrs. C. It. Close, of Solomon, Kansas;
Floyd E. McDaniel of Lindsay and
Ellen Bell, also of Lindsay.
"The family lived in Salina. Kan
sas and Plattsmouth. Nebraska, be
fore coming to Lindsay two years ago
last June, when he became a part
owner of the Brunswick Amusement
company.
"Deceased is survived by a wife,
three children, a brother at Ottum
wa, Iowa, a sister, Mrs. W. C. Allen,
in Pomona and a nephew, Dr. Fred
Allen of New YNrok. .
hut their brilliant playing was on
set by a number of misplays that
prevented their crossing the goal
line of their opponents.
-In the use of the aerial attack the
locals were far and away the better
of the two teams as three passes re-
' suited in great gains for the locals
that were lost however in the suc
ceeding plays. The Elair team broke
through the line on several of the
downs and checked the advance of
the Plattsmouth halfs and in two
cases forced them back for losses.
As ground gainers for the locals.
King and Herold were the chief fig
ures as they tore through the Blair
line for long gains in line rushes
and end runs while Stromberg in the
last quarter of the game made a
brilliant catch of the pass of Mc
Carthy and. brought the ball to the
visitors twenty yard line where the
battle closed.
The visitors found their most suc
cessful plays in the end runs, pulling
off two very successful runs that
brought them in Plattsmouth terri
tory only to lose in the succeeding
downs.
In the tackling line Briggs and
Vroman were very effective for the
Legion and Briggs, especially, was
able to check the attempts of the vis
itors to get away with anything

Yesterday was observed at the St.

er and godmother day and on which
occasion the members of the parish
with their godchildren were present
to attend the special services that
had been arranged for the occasion,
and in which the Little Helper's Font
Roll participated.
The church was filled at the ser
vice hour with the little ones rang
ing from the babes in arms to the
other children of more mature years
and was a very inspiring sight, in
dicating the future workers of the
church. The Little Helpers of school
age were given their promotion from
the font roll to the primary depart
ment of the church school while the
little ones also presented their mis
sion boxes, filled with the year's of
fering to the missions of the church.
Father W. S. Leete, rector of the
church, gave a special sermon for
the little folks dealing with the
struggle of might against right, the
brute force of the physical man and
the teaching of Christ as the vital
force in the conquering of the world,
