Grandma Smith, as she has been
known for many years to the resi

sons and one of the leading cities of
the new territory that was just

western empire of the L'nited States.
In common with the other residents
of that early day .Mr. and Mrs. Smith
endured the common hardships of
the first settlers and lived to see th
hopes and drenms of a real homeland
arise in the community where they
had located and the great civiliza
tion of the nlntenth and twentieth
centuries come and change the fron
tier into one of the greatest states of
'he American Union.
Mrs. Smith has been called upon
often in her lifetime to bow her bead
under the rod at the command of

the great beyond were the husband
and two children. Willard R. Smith,
who died in 1885 and a daughter.

Rev. H. G. McClv.sky, pastor of the I
First Presbyterian church of this I
city and the services largely attend-I

and hor family. The body was con
signed to rest in the Young cemetery i
where the other members of the fam
ily are resting to await the final
summons when all things of earth
shall pass away.

This City, the Victim.
Prom Monday's Dally
Relatives and friends here of Hes
ton GrceiL who has been making his

were shocked to learn of the un
timely death of Mr. Green Saturday
by suicide, Mr. Green was a brother-in-law
of B. C. Hyde of this city.
The Nebraska City News has the fol
lowing very graphic account of the
unfortunate affair:
"Heston Green, 51 years old, em
ployed in the cellars of the Morton
Gregson packing plant here, commit
ted suicide by shooting himself thru
the right temple with a 32-calibre
revolver in the garage at his home

without a struggle say those who ex-
amined the body. Mrs. Green, when

did not talk of his personal affairs,
She said he was out frequently at

she added.

W, R. YOUNG NAMED
AS DEPUTY SHERIFF
Sheiiff E. P. Stewart Appoints Well
Kncvrn Auctioneer to Position
Who Files His Eond.
From Monday's Daily
By the action of Sheriff E. P.
Stewart this morning in filing the
appointment of V. R. Young, or
"Rex" as he is better known, Cass
county has a deputy sheriff for the
first time since 1!13. The last ap
pointed deputy sheriff was M. E.
Manspeaker. who held this position
under Sheriff C. D. Quinton up to
the time that the sheriff took over,
the charge of the jail and the du
ties of jailor when the new building
was completed.
Mr. Young's appointment will
meet with quite general approval by
those who know him and there is no
doubt that he will make a splendid'
o.'ficial in every way as he is pos
sessed of all of the qualifications of
a good and faithful law enforcing
officer. Mr. Younc has been largely
engaged in the conduct of his work
as auctioneer for the past few years
and in 1022 was the candidate for
the republican nomination for sher
iff and received a very large vote
both on that ticket and on the pro
gressive ticket altho he was defeat-
d by a narrow margin by C. D.
Quinton.
The appointment will be acted up
on at the next meeting of the board
of county commissioners and up to
that time the arrangements as to
whether he will assume the duties
of a jailor and custodian of the jail
will not be determined upon.

the last part of November and of
which there had been no trace found
of the thieves until the raids made

Langhorst . will recover a goodly
amount of his stock.
Glen Morse, awaiting sentence at
Wahoo with Ellis E. Hahn for loot
ing the Tony Kritz general stcre at

the measure stipulated that food
stuffs are to be bought in the United
States and transported to Germany
in shipping board ves.-els.
Three hours were devoted to de
bate after which a score of amend
ments were offered. Only one, by
Rpresentative Jones, democrat, Tex

should be purchased wherever pos
sible thru farmer organizations, was
adopted. 165 to 6S.
Amendments rejected by viva voce

to confine the supplies purchased to
wheat and another by Representative

BOARD OF EDU
CATION TO LOOK
UP BOND ISSUE
With Additional Members Board To
Take Steps to Invest and Re
tire the Bonds.
From Tuesday's Dally
The board of education which has
just received two new members to
their official body. Searl S. Davis,
who has succeeded A. G. Cole, and
Frank A. Cloidt. who will replace
Frank E. Schlater, met last evening
and decided to take up the matter of
trying to get a more satisfactory ar
rangement of the finances of the
school district which has in the last
few days been diacussed to some ex
tent. The board found that there are at
this time $65,000 in twenty-year
bonds outstanding against che school
district which covers the cost of the
new high school building in this
city. As one of the members states
these bonds are drawing live per cent
interest.
It is the desire of the board of ed
ucation to at once take up with the
bond holders the proposition of call
ing some $20,000 of the bonds if pos
sible and to this extent reduce tho
indebtedness of the district. At this
time the bond holders could find
more attractive bond investments at
a better interest rate than the school
bonds and Mr. Davis is hopeful of be
ing able to have these bonds retired.
The board has also been advised
that it can invest the sinking fund
of the school district and the secur
ities that are approved by the laws
of the state include the state and
county bonds. I". S. government
bonds and the warrant of the school
district and if in no other way the
board of education could invest in its
own warrant? and save the higher
rate of interest for the school dis
trict and realize a neat sum each
year ou the sinking fund that would
aid in cutting down the indebted
ness of the district.
While the city council last eve
ning was instructing its finance
committee to meet and advise with
the board of education in regard to
the school finances over which the
board has complete control, the board
of education appointed a similar
committee on confer with the council
and between thes two bodies there
should be a clearer understanding
of the financial situation of the city
and the school district that will be
beneficial to both.

afternoon when at the intersection
of 6th and Main streets the autos of
Robert Connors and Chester Taylor"
collided and while the cars were both
damaged to a greater or less extent
the occupants of the cars were un

driver was preparing to make the
grade leading up high school hill as
he neared the intersection and thot
he would clear the intersection be
fore the car of Mr. Connors which
was going south on Sixth street
reached the intersection.
The rear portion of the car of Mr.
Taylor was struck by the front of
the Connors car as it was just pass
ing the intersection. The force of
the impact caused the windshield in
the Connors car to break and the
broken glass rained on the occupants
of the car but luckily without cut
ting anyone. The two cars skidded
on the slippery street and turned
completely around by the force of
the collision and the two front
wheels of the Connors car suffered
some damage and the right rear
wheel of the Taylor car was cracked
in the accident, the owner of the car
later stated. The car of Mr. Taylor
was thrown over against the curb
