Omaha today where they spent a few
hours with Miss Alice Lorenz at the
St. Joseph hospital where she is tak
ing a course of treatment.
Advertising pays I Try it!
This morning a message was re
ceived here by County Attorney W.
G. Kieck. county coroner, informing
him of the fact that Swan Johnson,
an aged man and long time resident
of Weeping Water had been found
dead in his bed at his home in that
city. In accordance with the mes
sage the county attorney and Sheriff
Bert Reed motored over to investi
gate the matter of the death.
Mr. Johnson has been a resident of
Weeping Water for a great many
years and was making his home with
John Lundeen, a former associate in
the quarry work at Weeping Water,
the two men maintaining bachelor
quarters in a building in the main
part of the city.
For some days Mr. Johnson has
been complaining that he was not
feeling well and seemed to be suf
fering from an attack of heart trou
ble, but yesterday he seemed some
better and had so stated to Mr. Lun
deen when he retired last evening.
The fact of his death was discov
ered this morning between 5 and 6
o'clock when Mr. Lundeen sought
to arouse Mr. Johnson and was
startled to find the lifeless body of
the friend.
It Is thought that the unfortunate
man had a stroke during the night
that with the weakened condition of
his heart made death a matter of but
a few moments and he had passed
away without a struggle.
There are no relatives at Weep
ing Water and the only known rela
tive is a brother residing at Friend
who has been notified of the death
and is expected to reach Weeping
Water today.
It is thought that the body will be
laid to rest at Weeping Water where
the deecased had made his home for
a great many years and where he
had a circle of very warm friends and
acquaintances.
As there was no reason to suspect
other than natural death there was
no -inquest held by the county attor
ney, death seemingly being from the
effects of the heart attack.

PLATTSMOUTH STATE ELECTS
From Wednesday's Dally
The state supreme court at Lin
coln Tuesday passed on the matter of
the liability of the drawer of a check
when the check is not cashed before
the failure of the bank on which it is
drawn.
The court held that a check drawn
on a bank should be presented for
payment at once by the payee, the
court holding that if such was not
done the failure of the bank in the in
terim between the receipt of the check
and the presentation of it, would re
sult in a loss to the holder of ,the
check.
This decision was In the case of
Oscar Swanson against Swan Lind
