Hickman l.;ie Wednesday wiu n Juv
enile Court Judge Scott dismissed a
petition tiled last summer making

The action definitely ended, Hick

19-rear-old acrnsed youth is now
eligible for trial in the superior
court, where conviction for murder is
punishable with death.
Under Heavy Guard.
Hickman was taken to court un
der heavy guard. Few pefiatoi".
were pn st nt as his appearance in
juveiiih- court was not expected by
the public. The petition had been
Hied last Aucust when Hickman was
released ou probation on forgery
charges.
In Hickman's cell Wednesday stato

'Taith and Rotary march at the
head of the army of progress," said
Edward F. Flynn. of St. Paul, assist
ant to the president of the Great
Northern railroad, in an address on
"The Future of Rotary" before the
Omaha Rotary club Wednesday noon.
"The future of Rotary depends on
you and now," he declared. "If the
organization is bettered, you must do
it. and if you do it you must do it
now."
Mr. Flynn emphasized his points
with a wealth of humorous stories
and personal experiences, and told
of the international Rotary conven
tion in Pelgium last year.
A Task to Perform
' "Many members of the first Rotary
dubs." lie said, "still remember that
Rotary was in its early days a club
in which every member was expect
ed to transact business only with
members of his club. Hut this system
could not continue. No club formed
on sordid ideas such as these could
live long, especially one that talked
of ideals.
"We are endeavoring to make of
business a profession a science, and
if we pride ourselves upon being se
lected from among the country's big
gest and busiest men to represent our
particular classification, is it not be
cause there is a task for us to per
form that we have been thus chos
en? That task, that duty, that re
sponsibility on the individual, on the
member club, and on Rotary Interna
tional, isi to improve the standards of
business and the ethics of professions.
Let us not lose faith in the work that
Rotary has done. One hundred and
twenty-five or li0 codes or sets of
rules or standards have been adopted
by business and professional organi
zations in the United States and else
where, as the result of Rotary's en
deavors. It seems to me this alone
is a reason for Rotary's existence.
Room for Improvement
"Business has improved greatly in
the past 25 years. There is still much
room for improvement. If each Ro
tarian will become a member of his
craft or professional association and
see to it that these crafs or associa
tions adopt codes of standards, he
shall have accomplished much for
Rotary and for business and the pro
fessions." ; F. 15. Choate. general freight agent
of the Union Pacific, chairman for
the day was introduced by President
Pierpont as a busy railroad man
; "who is not a slave to his bank bal
ance." World-Herald.

Jessie Geraldine Biggs Brockman,
was born at Lorton, Nebraska, Oct.
10, 1905. At the age of seven she
came with her widowed mother to
live with her sister at Elmwood, Ne
braska, where she lived until she
was married. There she attended
school and was a member of the
Royal Neighbor Lodge of Elmwood.
While she was visiting her sister
at Wheatland. Wye. during the sum-
' iner of 1925, she had the experience
of meeting her Saviour. Here she
was bnptized and joined the Baptist
church.
On Dec. 24th. 1925 she was mar
ried to Dewey Brockman. On Jan.
2nd. 192S. she was taken to Beatrice
to a hospital. To this union was
born a son on Friday, Jan. Cth, but
was permitted to live only a short
time. This happy union brought to
an abrupt conclusion on Jan. tith, at
S:15 a. m.. when the angel of death
saw fit to call the loved one to her
reward, freed from this world's toil
and suffering.
; She leaves to mourn her departure,
her beloved husband, her mother,
Mrs. James Biggs, her father, a bro
ther and a sister preceded her in
death. She leaves two brothers and
three sifters, Frank of Iloloyke,
Colo.: and Yester of Lorton. Nebr. ;
Mrs. Flora West of Wheatland. Wyo.;
Mrs. Abbie Swanson of Johnson,
Neb.; and Mrs. Mayme West of Elm
wood, N br.
Her character and disposition made
it possible for her to accumulate a
host of friends wherever she went.
Our prayers and sympathy go out
for those who have lost their loved
one and may God give that consola
tion to them which no human heart
can render.
The funeral services were held on
Sunday afternoon from the Metho
dist church conducted by the Rev.
Victor West. Short services were
held at the Clements undertaking
parlors on Monday as some of the
relatives were unaoie to get nere on
Sunday. Interment was made in the
Elmwood cemetery. Elmwood Leader-Echo-.

The turn in the King of Trails
highway a mile east of Union was
the scene of another auto accident on
Thursday night when the car driven
by Herman Sharp ran over the em
bankment on the south side of the
highway, failing to make the turn
and plowed down the embankment
into the orchard that is located at
that point. The car was badly dam
aged by the force of the impact and
it was thought for a time that he
had sustained fatal injuries. The

were dressed. Mrs. Sharp
