BRAVELY TO THE EiO JIT I
11:15 ON SUNDAY MORNING !
Wartime Leader will Go Down in History as One of the
Great Men of the Ages His Plans for World
Peace the Finest Ever Offered.
Plattsmouth people, while expect
ing the sad news were nevertheless
shocked when yesterday morning by
telegram and radio the message came
that Woodrow Wilson war-time pres
ident of this country, was called
away and now belongs to the great
of the ages.
Washington, Feb. 3. Former
President Woodrow Wilson died at
11:15 o'clock this morning.
The place of hi3 entombment and
whether his funeral will be public or
private will be determined later.
The end was peaceful. Life ebbed
away while he slept.
A tired man. he closed his eyes and
"sustained and soothed by an unfal
tering trust." passed on to the great
hereafter "like one who wraps the
drapery of his couch about him, and
lies down to pleasant dreams."
Dr. Grayson his friend and physi
cian, announced the end of the great
war president in this bulletin:
"Mr. Wilson died at 11:15 o'clock.
His hearts action became feebler and
feebler and the heart muscle was so
fatigued that it refused to act any
longer. The end came peacefully.

Death advanced and beckoned for

nan drew a long breath, there was a
flight flutter of the eyelids, an almost
imperceptible twitch of the nostrils.
Woodrow Wilson's foul had drift
ed cut on the great dark tide that
runs around the world.
Sing Old Hymns
Out through a city stilled in a sab
bath morning reverential calm his
name was being spoken from a hun
ured pulpits. In the Central Presby- j
tpririn rhurrh where he 'aithfullT
went to worship wime tne ricsn was;ed any reeling at all tor the men in i

vorite hymns in which he loved to
lift his voice in a happier, better
day. Over a great land that had ac
claimed him chief and in lands
across the seas where he had been
hailed as a god of peace prayers
were rising for the repose of his
soul.
In the street before the square
brick house where he has loved with
his memories, his hopes and his re
grets, was another scene. There was
a gathering of people there. It was
not a crusading throng come to a
Mecca in pilgrimage to attest their
faith in the ideals, he personified.
It was a group of men-and women
kneeling on the pavement in silent
prayer. Small prayer slips bearing
the inscription ".peace on eartn.

hands, fluttered in the chill wind

which swirled up the debris and lit

ed in the solemnity of the death
watch that the world might know.
"Mr. Wilson is attaining the ;
peace that passeth all understand-1

throng sank to its knees and re-

a sickly sun broke through a cloud
bank. A little native warbler, a pil
grim venturing north in search of
early sun and spring, stopped for a
moment and from his twig aloft ut
tered a happy note.
Almost at that moment Mr. Wil
son was passing on.
Coolidge Offers His Aid
Immediately the great govern
ment over which he presided for
eight years began taking steps to
give marks of its respect. President
Coolidge heard the word of Mr. Wil
son's death while in church with
Mrs. Coolidge. Immediately at the
conclusion of the services he drove
to the Wilson home and left cards.
Later he sent his secretary to offer
any aid whatever.
Flags at Half Mast
Flags on government property ev
erywhere were lowered to half mast.
The news went to army posts every

thirty day period of official mourn

FIRST OF INDICT
ED PARTIES GIVEN
v SENTENCE TODAY
William Grebe Has Motion For New
Trial Overruled Given Fine
of $100 and Costs.
From Tuesday's Dally
This morning Judge Begley heard
the motion for a new trial in the
case of the state of Nebraska vs. Win.
Grebe, in which the defendant was
convicted of assault and battery on
the person of Elmer Gaines at the
session of the district court in De
cember. The court, after hearing the argu
ment of Attorney A. L. Tidd for the
defendant and Attorney D. O. Dwy
er, special prosecutor, who has been
conducting the cases of the indict
ments returned by the grand jury,
overruled the motion for a new trial.
In his opinion the court was very
frank and fair in his summoning up
of the facts in the case and stated
that while he recognized the work
that Mr. Grebe had performed and
the fact that possibly the affair was
the outgrowth of not having proper
knowledge of the scope of his duties;
that the defendant had been sent out
at time to make arrests when other
c'uly elected and qualified officers
should have gone, which placed on
the defendant the burden of exercis
ing duties in which he did not fully
understand his powers, the court felt
that the testimony shown at the
trial and the judgment of the jury
had been fair and showed that the
act complained of had been commit
ted. The court stated that the officer
in the discharge of his duty owed to
the citizens a due regard for law
that would uplift the law enforce
ment and create in the minds of the
people a respect for the majesty of
the law and that the manner of mak
ing arrests and stopping people had
caused the greater part of the trou
ble of Mr. Qrebe. The carrying out
of the law enforcement should be
made by the officers responsible and
the trials of the cases made in courts
wber all parties should have a fair
and unprejudiced trial. The county
hud paid to officers salaries to carry
out 'the duties of ' their offices, and
trials before the county court or oth
er courts would place in the treasury
of the county the fees jdstly due tho
county In which the crimes were
committed and the arrests made.
The court placed on the deefndant
a fine of $100 and costs as the pen
alty for the misdemeanor for which
he had been convicted by a Jury of
his peers.
The court, on the application of
Mr. Tidd placed the bond of Mr.
Grebe at $500 pending an appeal of
the case.
CLEANING UP VAUI T
From Wednesday's Dally
The vault in the office of the clerk
of the district court, which is used
to house the many records of the
cour for the years that the county
has beenin existence, is going to
have a thorough cleaning and the in
terior made more attractive by the
application of new paint yielded by
the brush of John C. Brittaln. The
