CONDITION LAST NIGHT
BIED AT 12 O'CLOCK.
Prom Mondays rally.
The community in and near Rock
Eluf. was profoundly stirred today
by the news of the death of Mrs. Gus
Splitt. one of the well known resi
dents of that locality and at the re
quest of the relatives an inquest was
called by County Attorney Cole.
The news of the death was tele
phoned to this city at an early hour
this morning to Sheriff Quinton and
County Attorney Cole and at the re
quest of the relatives of the deceased
lady an investigation started, altho
on the face of the case there is little
to cause suspicion of foul play.
The death of Mrs. Splitt was first
discovered by her husband, who
sloops in a room adjoining that occu
pied by Mrs. Splitt and their two
sons, aged 11 and 3, and Mr. Splitt
states mat uunng me nigni ne neara section of Cass county will regret
her call and did not pay any par- very much to learn of the very seri
ticular attention to this fact until ous condition of Cornelius Bengen.
stie called the second time, ana he
went into tne room and round ner Jy-
ing partly out of the bed, her head
and one arm being thrown over the
side of the bed and at that time she
was breathing with difficulty and be-
fore many minutes had lapsed she
passed away.
The deceased lady had been in
good health apparently up to this
time and altho the son, 11, states
that yesterday the mother, who had
been in the habit of assisting him
with the milking, was unable to do
her accustomed work and had to
leave the milking yard and return
to the house. " '
The deceased lady was a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Grauf of this
city and has spent her lifetime in the
vicinity where she passed away and
some twelve years ago was married Mr. Bengen is a well known farm
to Gus Splitt. She leaves the husband er from southwest of the city and is
and two sons to mourn he"reath as a son-in-law of Mr: and Mrs. John

been more or less trouble between the
husband and wife, it is stated by
relatives, . and the alleged troubles
seem to be the basis of. much of the ..
desire for the investigation of the
case altho In the opinion of the coup- j
ty authorities there seems no doubt :
that the death occurred from natural !
causes. . j
Sheriff Quinton impanneled a cor
oner's jury consisting of Frank Claus,
J. W. Holmes. G. H. Manners, John
F. Bates, C. W. Cavender and L. G. '

the trip to the Splitt home, where
the hearing was held.
The testimony of several persons
was taken at the hearing, Mrs. Han
son, sister of the deceased woman,
testifying as to threats alleged to
have teen made by the husband rel
ative to Mr3. Splitt some time ago.
Roy Splitt, the eleven-year-old
son of the Splitt family, testified 'to

spell or chill yesterday afternoon and
also to her having washed in the
morning. He stated that she had

this localitv. at the Clarkson hospital
in Omaha. Mr. Bengen has been suf-
fering quite a great deal for the past
year from stomach trouble and in the
last two months especially has his
case grown more serious until it was
'decided that it would be necessary
to have him removed from the home
to the hospital. .
Just what the trouble is has not
been fully determined altho it has
been thought that ulcers of the stom-
ach was the cause of his breakdown,
but owing to his extremely weakened
condition a thorough examination
I was Impossible. Mr. Bengen has been
FO much weakened that blood trans-
fusions have been necessary in an
effort to build him up so that he
could undereo an operation.

'
news coming a monta alter tne atatn
in a message to Chief of Police
Johnson. of Lincoln .
The death of Mr. Beaver occurred
nn lifpeniher Ifttli - when his home at
I'Manette, Washington, was destroyed
by fire and as the result of which
the unfortunate man lost his life.
I The last communication received
iby the relatives in Lincoln from Al
ibert Beaver was in September, 1922,
and since that date there had been
no word from him until the message
was received by the Lincoln police
inquiring as to his heirs. All papers
and references pertaining to Beav
er's affairs were burned at the time
of the tragedy and the authorities at
Manette did not know where to ad
dress inquiry.
The deceased has a brother, H. W.
Beaver, living at Lincoln, a sister,
Mrs. U. R. Pennington. Plainview,
and another brother, John, of Casper,
Wyoming.
Mr. Beaver was sixty-eight years
of age and was born and reared in
Cass county, the homestead built by
P. T. Beaver being located near Cul
lom and here the members of the
family were born and grew to man
hood and womanhood. Mr. Beaver
left Cass county and Nebraska in
1902 and has since lived in the Pa
cific coast country.
Mrs. August Gorder of this city
is a niece of the deceased gentleman
and the news of his death came as a
great shock to her. as it was the first
intimation of the tragic occurance.

Senator .W. E. Binning, of this
district, dropped into the legis;ativo
hopper at Lincoln t ;ir.y. a bill to
regulate the operation of motor bus
lines and the protection of passen

Banning has lavished much thought
and care, providts Jor the collection
of an annual license fee. ranging
from $G0 to $400, depending upon
the number of passengers carried.
The fee shall be collected by the
State Treasury and at the end of a
six months' period s'.iall be distribut
ed among- the counties over whoso
roads the busses travel.
"Bus lines are not paying any up

usual putcrnobile license charge."

"It is a well-established fact that
they do-much damoge to highways,
especially in wet weather. I think
my bill establishes an equitable

THE PLATTE RIVER
TOLL BRIDGES
Bill Sponsored by Davis of Cass and
Hughes of Sarpy Provides for
Free Tolls Eventually.
One of the measures pending in
the state legislature that is of very
much interest is that of Representa
tive Davis of Cass county and Rep
resentative Hughes of Sarpy county,
covering the Louisville and Platts
mouth bridges over the Platte river.
These two bridges are the only
toll bridges in the str.te and have
been more or Iers under discussion
in the past two sessions of the legis
lature as to action by the state to
replace them with Etate owned brid
replace them with state owned
bridges that would permit travel
without the paying of toll and the
Movement has generally had the sup
tort of the traveling public who
fiave often remarked on the fact that
these were the only two points in
the state where a charge was made
to crofs the bridges.
The new measure as understood
will relieve thi; situation in time,
although not at once. The bill would
have the siat and the two counties
cf Cess and Sarpy purchase these
bridges if they can be secured at a
reasonable figure, and operate the
tame as toll bridges until the shares
of the two counties are paid back,
and thereafter the bridges are' to be
tree to the public.
Just how this measure will be re
ceived out in the state is a question.
a.3 many of the counties there have
paid their shares on the state aid
bridge and as far as that is con
cerned Cass county has been a con
tributor to the state bridge fund for
year3 and the taxes have been ex
pended at other points in the state!
despite the fact that the heavy trav
el through this section from the
counties of Richardson. Nemaha,
Otoe and Cass has shown the need of
a state bridge. t
The auto travelers from this sec
tion of Nebra'-.W as well as the tour
ists pacing through certainly will
f.ouisvle as well.
TRANSMISSION LINE TROUBLE
Prom Tuesday's DaMf.
This morning about 5 o'clock the
r.treet lights were suddenly extin

streets usually bright and attractive!
with the new lighting system, werej
plunged into gloom. The cause of,
the trouble was in Omaha at the;
sub station at ,4 4th and Q streets,!
where the current is jumped to the
high voltage for the transmission
lines. One phase of the three phase
circuit was put out of commission
and as a result the cities supplied by
Ike transmission lines were put to
bom?1 inconvenience. As soon as the
(trouble occurred the boiiers here
were fired up to carry tne ioau ana
as the local plant was in readiness
the current was soon flowing through
the wires to supply the emergency,
until such time as the transmission
line could be put back into commis
rion. The trouble occurred at a very
fortunate time as the householders

Manager of Cass County Heavy
reight Says He Stepped Out
with Over Confidence.
Jack Lewis, manager of Andy Sch-
mader and the husky young light
heavyweight have returned from St.
Paul where Andy was the opponent
of Emil Engberg last Friday night
and Andy has been spending a few
days with the home folks at Louis
ville, returning here last evening.
The result of the fight was a sur
prise to Lewis, Schmader and the
fight fans as the Minnesota fighter
seemed an easy opponent and this
seemed to have been the cause of
the outcome of the fight.
Speaking of the fight, the Omaha
Bee has the following to say:
"Schmader, according to Lewis,
thought he was going to have a
cinch. Mike Gibbons was in the
Nebraska heavyweight's corner and
informed Andy that Engberg would
be duck soup.
"So at the opening bell Schmader
charged toward the center of the
ring as happy as a school girl. Mr.
Engberg met him with one started
from centerfield. Schmader walked
right into it, and the fight was
over."

flu. scarlet fever, diptheria, mumps
and chicken pox. The mumps has
been especially prevailing among the
children of the county since the open
ing of school and the more serious
diseases of diptheria and scarlet
fever seem scattering and have not
reached, serious proportions as far as
can be ascertained.
A great deal of the cause for the
increasing amount of sickness is
ascribed to the warm weather that
has prevailed this winter.
