pet theories and popular subjects,

in vogue In our day.

FISHERMAN SAYS
WAS WITNESS TO
MOUNT'S MURDER
Declares Two Students Overpowered
Youth While Third Filled His
Mouth Full Of Sand.
Chicago, 111., June 6. John Strom,
an Evanston fisherman, was quoted
today by the Chicago Dally Journal
as declaring he saw a boy resembling
Leighton Mount, Northwestern uni
versity freshman, killed and his body
placed under a pier In Evanston
early in the morning of September
22, 1921, the date of Mount's disap
pearance after a class-rush.
Strom's story, as related by the
Journal, was told for him by Harry
Cook, a chum of young Mount.
Strom, who declared he had told his
story to an Evanston policeman on
that day and that no attention was
paid to it, testified recently in the
state's attorney's investigation, but
the authorities here and in Evans
ton said Strom had , told unusual
stories at other ' times . and little
credence was attached to his state
ments. ,
Strom also was represented as hav
ing said he was fishing on that
morning, and saw and heard three
youths shouting and laughing on the
beach. He said they told him they
had another boy imprisoned in a
chicken house.
- "Then the three said they would
get him and make him eat sand,"
Strom was quoted as having told
young Cook, who related the story
because of Strom's somewhat inco
herence of speech.
"I protested. 'The sand might get
into his lungs and kill him,' I said,
but they answered that we all had
to eat sand to keep healthy.
"Then they went and got the boy.
He was fighting for all he was worth,
but there were three of them and he
didn't have a chance.
"They dragged him down to the
sand and threw him down and sat
on him. He was fighting and strug
gling all the time. I thought it was
all fun, and didn't interfere.
"Then the two smaller ones held
him down while the taller one pulled
open his mouth and stuffed it full
of sand. Then the boy stopped
struggling and lay still. I asked
them if they had hurt him, and they
told me to mind my own business."
Strom insisted he saw the trio
place the still form under a pier after
prying up a plank.
The skeleton believed by the au
thorities to be that of Mount was
found under a pier on April 30, and
instigated a grand Jury investiga

MRS. LA?;
Plattsmouth Lady Found This Morn
ing in Dying Condition . and
Quickly Passed Away.
From Saturday's Dallr.
This morning about 6:30 death
came very suddenly to Mrs. George
Lamphere at her home in the south
portion of the city and a few mo
ments after she called to her husband
she had passed away, a sudden at
tack of heart trouble bringing on
death.
Last evening Mrs. Lamphere had
been in her usual good spirits and
did not complain of any sickness as
the family retired for the night and
this morning shortly after 6 o"clock
called her husband to get up, as was
her custom. A few moments later,
Mr. Lamphere made the discovery
that the wife was lying in a dying
condition on the bed. As soon as
possible medical aid was summoned,
but the unfortunate lady had passed
to her final reward.
The deceased lady was just past
fifty years of age and had for a great
many years made her home here,
where she has reared her family, and
was the mother of a large circle of
children to whom her death will
come as a very severe blow as she
had been a very kind and tender
mother to them and her place in the
household will be one that cannot be
filled to the husband and the mem
bers of the family circle.
To mourn the loss of this good
woman there remains the husband
and ten children, Bert, of Chicago;
Burnie, of Omaha; Roy, of Chadron;
Henry, George, Jr., John, Charles,
Clara, Violet and Lilly, of this city.

From Saturday's Dally.
Last evening the home of Mrs.
Lillian Freeman was well filled by a
large number of the parents and
friends of the young people com
prising her piano pupils to enjoy
the exceptionally pleasing program
that was given. The rooms were
tastefully arranged in decoration of
the handsome peonies and whose
bright colors added to the beauty of
the scene.
Every one of the young people
taking part did so exceptionally well
that any comment as to their num
bers would be really unfair to them,
as each one was a gem in itself.
The program was opened by a trio
by Robert Livingston, Jack Troop
and Robert Bestor,: a "Mazurka" by
Behr being given. Jack Troop also
gave as a solo, "Swing Song" and

TO CLOSE CLUB
ROOMS DURING THE
HEATED SEASON
Will Re-Open in September with New
Equipment to Meet Needs of
Growing Membership.
From Saturday's Dally.
At the meeting of the Executive
committee last night, it was voted to
close the club rooms of Hugh Kearns
post. American Legion, until the 1st
of September, except for the holding
of meetings of the post, its executive
committee or the Auxiliary.
The coming months will be the
heated season of the year, and in
previous years it has been found the
club rooms were little used during
this period. During the time the
rooms are closed the furniture will
all be gone over and placed in the
best of condition for the re-opening
in the fall, when some new interior
decorating will be done and addition
al furniture purchesed to keep pace
with the needs of a growing mem
bership.
At the meeting it was also voted
that the post would sponsor the
forthcoming Plattsmouth radio con
cert from WOAW, Omaha, on the
night of July 9 th, when the Eagles
band, together with a few soloists,
will "tell the world" more about the
fine musical talent available in this
city. It will be good advertising
for Plattsmouth, for the Legion, for
the band, and for everyone concern

Corner of Fifth and Main Street Has
One of Most Attractive Stores
In the City Now.
From Saturday's Daily
This morning, the new book and
stationery store of R. A. Bates was
formally opened to the public in the
building at the corner of Fifth and
Main street and a very fine addition
made to the business institutions of
the city in the new enterprise.
One of the greatest changes has
been in the building, which, occupy
ing one of the principal corners in
the business section of the city, had
been woefully lacking in appearance
that its location would warrant. Mr.
Bates, on purchasing the building,
had the old antiquated front, which
had been in the building since its
construction, removed and a fine,
modern glass and copper front plac
ed in the building and which adds
very much to the neatness of that
part of the business section.
The interior of the new store is
artistic in the. extreme and the . fur
nishings, which are in old English
oak, are the most attractive that can
be found in the city and -certainly
aid in the transformation of the
room. With the handsome fixtures
the walls have been papered a light
tint of gray that adds to the light
ness and beauty of the room.
At the rear of. the room there has
been constructed a very ample bal
cony where the demonstrations in
the Dennison art paper work" will be
held and where also will be the of
fice room for the store. Beneath the
balcony is the ink department.
With the handsomely arranged
stock and the large amount of flow
ers used in the decoration, the store,
on its opening day, presented a spot
of real beauty in every way and the
general expression was that it was a
great improvement in the business
section of the city.
During the opening day, Mr. Bates
presented each lady caller with flow
ers and the men with cigars while
the kids were also remembered with
gifts.
The management of the new store
was remembered by a very handsome
bouquet from the Plattsmouth State
bank on the opening day for which
they feel very appreciative.
Despite the bad weather condi
tions there were a large number in
attendance and looking over the new
and well arranged store.

OLDEST MEXICAN WAR
VETERAN CELEBRATES
San Francisco, June 8. Urban
Chaudeur, oldest surviving member
of the Mexican war of 1S4G-4S, on
the pension rolls of the United States
government, celebrated the 100th
anniversary of his birth here today.
"Grandpa" Chaudeur was born
in Alsace-Lorraine on June S, 1823,
and came to the United States in
1846.
He fought for the United States
in the battle of Buena Vista in the
Mexican war, when the slogan of
the Americans was: "Remember the
Alamo." While he has been a resi
dent of this country, since 1846,
Chaudeur did not forget his mother
land in the world war crisis in 1918.
When .General Pau visited San Fran
cisco in 1918, "Grandpa" Chaudeur
handed the French general his sav
ings to be used for France.
"It was the proudest moment in
my life when General Pau said to
me:
" 'You have taken care of your lit
tle Lorraine. I congratulate you in
the name of France,' " said Mr.
Chaudeur.
Mr. Chaudeur is one of the fifty
Mexican war veterans, survivors of
the 112,230 who fought for America.
He was a private in Company B,
Tenth United States Infantry.
Those who are desiring to take a
course of instruction in the Dennison
art paper work, including baskets,
flowers and. all paper novelties, will
be accommodated at the Bates Sta
tionery store, 5th and Main.

ON THE
MILLIONS IN SPURIOUS
LIQUOR STAMPS SEIZED
Huge Counterfeit Gang Thought to
be Trapped with Arrest of
Thirteen in New York.
New York, June 6. Alfred Mar-
ziano, canea tne neaa or tne vast
counterfeiting plot broken up by
his arrest with twelve alleged ac
complices last night, was held in
$10,500 bail today when he pleaded
not guilty to a charge of counter
feiting. Millions of spurious govern
ment revenue stamps, whiskey and
champagne labels, with the plates
from which they were printed, were
seized in two raids conducted by Jo
seph A. Palma, chief secret service
operative.
Jeff Conrad, who was charged
with having designed the plates,
with Robert Tiraroth and Antonio
Voulo, alleged go-betweens, were
held in $2,500 bail each, and Bar
nett Mitchell, another member of the
band, was' held in $1,000 bail. Oth
ers were paroled in custody of their
attorney.
A nation-wide plot to withdraw
liquor through bogus permits, and
the flooding of the country with imi
tation liquor in bottles bearing the
counterfeited stamps and labels, was
declared by Chief Palma to have
been broken up by the raid. For
months secret service operatives had
watched the men. The arrests came
when the agents were certain of
seizing the counterfeit plates.
The counterfeiters, it was said,
worked in several groups, one of
which manufactured illicit liquors,
another used counterfeit medical
prescriptions to deplete the supply
