Ed Stoner Shot
by Workman in
Concrete Gang
Account of Patal Shooting Affray is
Given m Cocoa, Fla., Tribune
Murderer in Custody.
From Monday's Iaily
The Cocoa (Florida) Tribune has
the following account of the fatal
shooting of Ed Stoner, former Platts
mouth resident, which occurred there
on Friday. February 5th. and from
the effects of which Mr. Stoner died
on Monday, February Sth. The news
paper accounts of the tragedy were
the first definite reports received here
until the arrival of the family with
the body on Friday night.
Here is the account:
"Hard feeling that had been smold
ering: for two weeks flared up in a
violent quarrel that resulted in the
shooting and seriously wounding of
Ed Stoner. 42. concrete foreman, by
V. E. White. 53, a laborer, at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon on Parnell sub
division on Merritt Island.
"Stoner, who was shot through the
abdomen below the heart, was rushed
to the office of Dr. V. C. Page in a
motor car bv A. B. Frazer, who was
working nearby with a grading gang.
He was later taken to a hospital.
"White was captured by Chief of
Police H. H. Ray half an hour after
the shooting occurred at the east end
of the Coeoa-Merritt Island bridge
He was walking toward town and of
fered no resistance when the officer
arrested him. He is lodged in the
county jail.
Stoner's version of the shooting
varies somewhat with that of White.
"Stoner says White stumbled over
something and began cursing blindly.
'I told him to stop or else get his
pay,' Stoner continued. He said. Tel
like to get the hell off this job,' and
so I told him to get out. He started
cursing me and then pulled his gun
and shot.'
"White, whose home is in Rovk
mart, Ga., said he stood at the spot
where the shooting occurred for a
few minutes and then decided, to try
to effect an escape. 'I started off for
the woods and then change toy mind
and turned back toward Cocoa. T met
the chief at the end of the bridge.'
"The gun with which White did
the shooting is said to be the prop
erty of Raeford Austin, who stayB at
the-same house he does on the Or
lando highway. White says he bor
rowed the pistol without Austin's
knowledge.
"Asked if he was in the habit of
carrying a pistol about with him.
White declared that he usually did
to protect himself. 'I am too small
and too old to fight a man with my
fists and I won't be bullied by any
body "Tears came to the man's eyes as
he recounted incidents of the shoot
ing while sitting on his cot in the
jail. "I'm sorry that it all happened
I'd give anything if it hadn't, but
it's too late now. ... I hope the
mac doesn't die.' "

Brantner, of this city, is in very
crious condition at his home at
Pender as the result of an accident
hat occurred a few days ago at his '
school in that place. Jack had been
playing at school and fell, striking
his head on the ground, but at the :
ime there was nothing thought of
the matter and the boy seemed to
suffer no ill effects and on his return .
orre in the evening had complained
f not feeling well and tired, but at,ogy and the school of fine arts are
that time the parents were unaware .
of his fall and thought him merely
tired. On Friday morning the little
lad was still complaining and his
mother decided not to send him to
school, telling him to pick up a few j
few valentines that the children had .
scattered on the floor, as the lad stoop-,
ed to pick these up ne startea to
scream and claim that someone was
itting him over the head. This
larmed the mother and medical aid
was called. It was thought at first
that the boy was suffering a concus
sion of the brain and his head was
packed in ice for some time and which
gave him some relief. Mrs. Ed Brant-
er, grandmother of the boy, left this
city Saturday night at 11 o'clock in

better but still suffering. Reports re-ted

University of
Nebraska Grads
Get Together
Former Grads Entertained at Radio"
Party at G. E. Petring Home
to Enjoy Charter Day.
From Tuesday's Daily
Last evening there was a very
pleasing number of the former stu
dents of the University of Nebraska
gathered at the beautiful home of Mr.
and Mrs. George K. Petring on high
school hill to join via radio the thous
ands of graduates who were ob
serving Charter day. the birthday of
the University of Nebraska, and to
enjoy the splendid program that was
given by the active student body and
the instructors in honor of the oc
casion. The program was broadcast from
station KFAB at Lincoln and came in
fine and clear to the students of other
years gathered in all parts of the
country. The program opened at 8
o'clock and continued until 2 in the
morning, but the Plattsmouth grads
did not remain for the final offerings
on the program.
There were interesting talks by the
instructors of the various colleger
at the university, musical numbor.s
by the orchestra and band and the
men's glee club. The bell that hung
in the historic "U" hall for so many
years was sounded for the benefit of
those listing in and to recall old times.
as the "U" hall is now being remodel
ed and changed and will pass from
the active life of the university in
the form that has so long been famil
iar to the students.
The alumni association here elect
ed their officers for the year last eve
ning and J. A. Capwell was chosen
as president and Mrs. R. P. West-
over as' secretary.
In the course of the evening there
were very dainty refreshments serv
ed by the hostess.
As the evening drew to a dose the
members cf the party had the pleas
ure of hearing the address of Chan
cellor Samuel Avery, which was as;
follows: .
"The first problem thai presented
itself tn the building program wis
how to prepare a satisfactory layout
for the city campus. This work had
alreadv been accomplished for the
agricultural college campus and the
medical campus at Omaha; but with
the great increase in the student body
on the citv camous all of the older
plans had become obsolete. Much of
the Deauty or our agricultural coi-
jlege campus is due to the enthusias-
tic work of Regent Coupland. The
present plans for the enlargement,
orderly arrangement and beautifi-
cation of the city campus are under
the special guidance of Regent Sey-
n:our.
"The plans for the additional hos-
pital unit at the medical college at
Omaha have been completed and are
now in the hands of the contractors.
On the agricultural campus the new
dairy barn is approaching completion.
The plans for Morrill hall to house
.the museum, the department of geol-
nearing completion. But we have
structures built not only by the uni-
versity but also for the university,
The new auditorium field house is
an instance of the latter. It has al-
ready been used for two basketball
games. The fact that, like the sta-
dium, it has been built largely out
oi runas not provided oy tne taxpay
er is another interesting thing.
"At commencement on June 5,
President Suzzallo of the University
lot Washington will be orator this
year.
"In conclusion, let me say just a
word in regard to the university's
development and progress. Each year
has seen some strengthening of the
faculty thru the bringing in of new
professors. This year is no exception.
Two of the men who have long serv-
the university have passed on. I
refer to Dr. Moore of the physics de
partment and Dr. Lees. We greatly
miss their absence. Otherwise our
ranks are unbroken."
Thruout the entire program greet
ings by telegrams and phone calls
wer received at the station from dis
tant alumni who had gathered to
celebrate the birth of their Alma
Matter.

Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, Administra
tor of the Estate of J. Elof
Johnson Starts Action.
Frm Wednesday's Daily
"r-;terday afternoon in the office of
the clerk of the district court there
was filed a damage suit against the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail
: 1 in t!:o run cf $30,000. the out
growth of the death near Oreapolis,
on August ICth, of J. Elof Johnson.
The action was filed by Mrs.
Charlotte Johnson, mother of the
deceased and the administrator of
the estate of her son.
The petition recites that the ac
cident that caused the death of J.
Elof Johnson occurred on the after
noon of Sunday, August 16th, when
the automobile of Charles Deitz, in
which Mr. Johnson was riding, was
struck bj- a locomotive of the defend
ant company and as the result of
which Mr. Johnson and James Ed
wards were killed and Lorenz
Leiner and Charles Deitz severely in
jured.
It is claimed that the engineer of
the locomotive failed to blow the
whistle of the locomotive, or sound
the bell as the train approached the
crossing, also that the brakes on the
locomotive and train were defective
and failed to check the speed of the
train fifl it approached the crossing
on which the car was standing. It
is also claimed that view of the track
from the west is obscured near the
crossing in the summer time by a
growth of weeds' and vegetation that
makes it impossible for those who are
driving onto the crossing seeing the
approach of a train from) the west.
This action just filed is similar to
the suits filed on behalf of Lorenz
Leiner in which damages are asked
for injuries received in the accident.
It is probable that the suit will be
transferred to the United States dis
trict court at Lincoln where the suit
of Mr. Leiner was transferred on
motion of the railroad company.
CARD OF THANKS
Deeply appreciative of the acts of
kindness and words of sympathy
given us at the time of our recent
bereavement, and for the beautiful
flowers at the funeral of our father
and grandfather, we wish to express
our heartfelt thanks. May the kind
ness that has been given to us be
shared by our friends in their hour
of sorrow. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Corn
