From Monday's Tmlly
William Gilmour. one of the old
est residents of Cass county, both in
the years of life and in the time he
has spent in this community, was
f ailed to the last long rest Sunday

this city, where he has resided for
a great many years.
The passing of Mr. Oilmlour re

ing post of the new west, later going;
to Rock Bluffs, then one of the most'
flourishing of the river towns and
in and near which place he has inaie
his home since l.r6, when he first
came to tliis county.
When the west was threatened in!
the days of the Civil war with an
outbreak of the Indians in th west-j
ern part of the state, Mr. Gilmour,!
with other residents of the territory,
enlisted in the Second Nebraska in
fantry, under Captain I-aac Wiles, J
and spent many months in the ser-i
vice of the protection of the frontier I
settlements irom the threat ot tne
redman. At the close of the Indian
troubles. Mr. Gilmour returned to his
heme at Rock Bluffs, where he re
sumed his activities as a farmer and
stock raiser.
it. was in me pieasam cnj oit
Council Blufr's that Mr. Gilmour was
united in marriage to Miss Lucy El
len Towner., daughter of Rev. Town
er, one of the earliest settlers of
Cass county, and who platted the
town of Rock IJIuffs, where the fam

their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Gil
mour returned to their home in this
county, where they made their home
until the final summons called them
from the scene of earthly cares, Mrs.
Gilmour preceding her husband in

three sons and two daughters to

Samuel T. Gilmour. of Plattsmouth ;
Mrs. B. W. Livingston, of Platts

Omaha.
Mr. Gilmour was a great lover of
horses and while his health was good
and he was able to care for them, his
tarm was stocked with thoroughbred
stock and in the rearing of the Shet
land ponies he had made a specialty
and was known over the state for his
fine animals.
In recent years as the infirmities
of old age came upon him, Mr. Gil
mour was forced to give up the
greater part of his activities and the
farm has been under the supervision
of his son, Sam Gilmour, with whom
and his family, Mr. and Mrs. Gilmour
made their home for the past twelve
years.
Mr. Gilmour. while ailing, had not
been thought serious until Saturday
afternoon, when he grew worse and
failed very rapidly until death came
to his relief.

Masons from an early day and also
had been affiliated with the I. O. O.
F. for a number of years.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at 3 o'clock from the late
home and the services conducted by
Rev. W. A. Taylor, of Union, with
interment in the Rock Bluffs ceme
tery, where the other members of the
family rest in the last long sleep.

From Monday's Daily
Petitions were filed today that rep

Senator Banning lias been the dem
ocratic leader in the las: several ses
sions of the legislature and possesses
a real grasp of the affairs of the stc.te
that has led him to be one of the out
standing figures in the legislature.
and he has been a fighter for the
measures that he thought were lor
the best interests of the taxpayers of
the state and opposed those that he
believed to be unwarranted and not
needed in the proper administratiDn
of the state affairs.
The ability of Sr-nator Banni.ig
has been recognized by the leaders of
both parties and in his service -as a
legislator he has been non-partisan
and strictly a worker for the cause
of the people of the state and of his
district.
Senator Banning has served as
long as any of the members of the
state senate and his long experience
and familiarity with the legislative
work makes him a very valuable
man for the second district and one
whom they can feel proud of having
represent them in the upper house of
the state legislature.
The district comprising the three
counties gave Senator Banning one
of the largest majorities received by
any candidate at the election in 192G
and which was a very tine tribute to
his services to the people of the dis
trict. RETREAT IN DISORDER
From Monday s rail
Saturday evening there were a
number of the soldiers here from Fort
Crook, and while a larger part of the
boys were in the best of shape and
conducted themselves in a very gen
tlemanly manner, a trio of the klu.ki
clad warriors became overflowing
with the raw spirits of the native
corn or some other equally powerful
stimulant and thereby drew on them
selves the scrutiny of the law.
Officers Libershal and Pickrel
to round up the trio who discovered
the enemy approaching in light com
bat order and accordingly the three
soldiers deployed as skirmishers, re-
t tiring in rapid manner from the
danger zone.
Two of the parties, who were evi
dently acquainted with the streets of
the city, were able to duck to safety,
but the third of the soldiers became
confused and in trying to get away
circled around a few blocks and
found himself not only in the shadow
of the city prison but also within the
grasp of the officers of the law and
who promptly conducted the young
man to the confines of the city lock
up to rest and sober up from his over
indulgence. The young man was turned over
to the authorities at Fort Crook to be
given what punishment the military
officers of the summary court martial
might deem fit and which may be
anything from extra fatigue duty to
imprisonment and two-thirds pay.
RIG ATTRACTION COMING
The Parmele theatre is announc
ing the early showing of one of the
most gripping motion pictures of the
year. "The Noose." which is now
showing at the Riviera at Omaha,
proving one of the big hits of the
last few months in the dramatic sen
sations of the silver screen.
The star of the play is Richard
Barthelmess. whose wonderful work
has won approval over the world and
his supporting cast includes Alice
Joyce and Montagu Love. The pic
ture is one that grips every one in
the audience until the last scene and
runs the limit of the human emotions
of love and sacrifice.
The Plattsmouth movie patrons
can see this great picture at their
own playhouse in a very few days
and enjoy one of the greatest pic
tures of the year without going to
other points for this opportunity.
Mrs. D. A. Hilton
Leader in New
Religious Cult
Former Plattsmouth Lady Secretary
of Divine Order of Royal Arms
of the Greater Eleven.
Out on the Simi hills, northwest
of Los Angeles, California, a new
colony has been established that
bears the name of the Divine Order
of the Royal Arms of the Greater
Eleven, which is preparing to give
to the world a new book. "The Sixth
Seal," which it is claimed was
written by divine revelation by Mrs.
Otis Blackburn and her daughter,
Ruth Angeline Wieland. It contain
ed, it claimed by the sponsors of the
colony, the explanation of all things
in the universe and the key to eter
nal life on this earth.
Members of the colony come from
every walk of life. Many of them
now living in little mountain cabins
formerly occupied palatial homes.
Each has been called and been made
aware of his summons to the work
by supernatural means. Mrs. I). A.
Hilton, one time Plattsmouth resi
dent, is the secretary of the order,
iwho is living at 2o!
'Ocean Pa i k , while a

cabin is being
built for her at the colony.
was call-
'ed one night while
in a hotel room.
She asserts that she was awakened
it-,.,,, v.,.,- .-l...,.
someone shouting
-i.um m-i j
her name and when she opened her
eyes her name appeared as if written
in flames and hung suspended in the
room. Shortly afterwards she was
led to Mrs. Blackburn, leader of the
colony. Mrs. Hilton formerly lived
in Omaha. Neb., after her residence
here, and was for many years a
Christian Science practitioner.
Give Property to Colony.
One member is said to have dis
posed of her property, valued at ap
proximately 30 thousand dollars, and
turned the money over to the colony.
Others have given smaller sums.
Many have been unable to give any
thing but their time and labor.
Among the members are men and
women of many races, L-.cluding one
Oriental anu a Negro. It is the be
lief of the colony that the salvation
of the races depends largely on their
representation among these workers
of the Lord.
Members of the colony are requir
ed to take orders implicitly from
Mrs. Blackburn. referred to as
"mother." Each lias his concord and
must keep attuned to the universe
by eating only certain foods at cer
tain hours and working at the most
propitious times. The flesh of fish,
birds and beasts are forbidden. Mrs.
Blackburn and her daughter are for
bidden even to wear shoes or cloth
ing that contains leather or fur.
"Voice Filled Universe."
Ruth, the daughter, was the first
of the colony to be called. When
summoned she was but a child, be
ing trained as a commercial artist
and stage dancer. The time was be
tween May 15 and 20, 1919. The
summons came as she walked along
broadway, near Fourth street. Above
the din of traffic she heard her name
called. Speaking of it. she said the
voice that shouted her name seemed
to fill the universe, yet she alone
heard it. Frightened, she telephoned
her mother, believing that possibly
she might have been taken sudden
ly ill. But she learned that her
mother was going about her work as
usual.
Three days later at their home, at
355 South Grand avenue, which was
being made over into apartments,
Mrs. Blackburn heard her name call
ed by the voice that seemed to come
from the very throne of the Al
mighty. Two weeks later in the same room
there appeared before the mether
and daughter a messenger from God.
Only the face was discernible, the
balance of the body was envelope-d
in a strange light possessing power
ful radiation. The mother and daugh
ter refer to the manifestation as
"the Angel." They were bidden to
cut themselves off from the world
and to write as directed. They were
instructed to get pen and ink and
note books. The angel stood between
them as he dictated. That which
pertained to "water" the daughter
wrote and that which concerned the
"earth" the mother wrote.
"Key to Eternal Life."
"The angel never moved his lips,"
said the mother. "The words seemed
to come from around him as if in a
circle. At first we wrote only a short
time each elay. In writing we. were
required to print each letter. The
words came from the angel like the
steady clicking of celestial clock as
the stars swung through their orbits.
After the first few weeks we were
compelled to write day and night.
Sometimes with only an hour's rest
and frequently days without food.
"Eventually we were compelled to
move from place to place in order
to be in proper accord so that work
would be mathematically in tune
with the balance of the universe. It
kept up for 42 monthB. It was ter
rible. What we went through, no
one will ever know. What was dic
tated by the Angel no one has ever
known before. It ia the explanation
of all things.. It presents the key to
eternal life 6n this earth and tells
why men lived ftr hundreds of years
at the beginning of time, while the
average span of life now is only 70."
Mrs. Blackburn claims that she
receives daily visits from the angel
and that he dictates to her what
she shall wear and eat and what
the members of the colony must do
on that day. Each member of the
colony waits for vend from Mis.
Blackburn petore i,e nwsfs

mile front and is also situated Just
a short distance from town and in
easy access of the markets so that
Mr. Wiles can feel that he has one of
the best naturally laid farms in this

improved to a very high degree with
a beautiful home and splendid build
ings and equipment for the most suc
cessful modern farming.
HURRY TO GET UNDER WIRE
Frntn Tuesday's Dally
This morning the office of County
Treasurer John E. Turner was the
scene of a great deal of activity in
the rush of those who had put off
securing their aute licenses until the,
last moment and who had only until
tomorrow to get in the clear if they!
desired to avoid the penalty of ope r
ating a car under t lie old 1927 li-
cense numbers.
There are quite a large number'
both in the towns and country dis
tricts who have not as yet secured
the needeel licenses and from the out-j
look there will be eonsielerable activ-
ity for the sheriff in handling those J
w ho are determined not to get the I
licenses, altho they have had a whole J
thirty days of grace through the ,
kindness of the she rrtf. The only way I
