William Richter
Has a Close Call
from Death Today
Overcome While Cutting Into Gas
Connection and Recovers Only
After Much Effort.
From Tuesday's Dally
This morning William Richter,
one of the employes of the Iowa-Xe-braska
Light & Power Co.. hail a
very close call from death when he
was overcome by pas while assist
ing in installing gas in the room
formerly occupied by the McElwain
Jewelry store and which is soon to
be used us a barber shop by V. D.
McCrary.
Mr. Richter was working in a
small space beneath the window in
the Fred H. Mumm bakery, cutting
into the gas line to extend the
piping to the new barber shop and
in doing the work it was found nec
essary to use a hack saw to get
Into the pipe which necessitated the
workman getting close to the pipe,
where a quantity of gas was making
its escape. Confined in the small
space there was considerable gas
formed and Mr. Richter failed to
notice the fact that the gas was es
caping so freely and it was only
when he reached the open air that
he collapsed.
The victim of the gas was able to
come out of the place where he was
working by himself and started for
the door when he commenced to
stagger and sway on his feet, altho
he assurred other workmen that he
was feeling no ill effects from the
gas. Suddenly without warning he
sunk to the ground and was drawn
and helpless from the effects of the
gas. George Beamis. a fellow worker
carried the suffering man to a place;
where artificial respiration waa
started by Mr. Beamis and Searl
Davis, and after some effort the ef
fects of the gas was battled off and
the victim of the gas attack was
sufficiently revived that he was able
to be taken to the plant of the
light and power company where he
was cared for and later taken on
home to recuperate from the effects
of the attack but which will leave
its effect with him for some little
time.
FUNERAL OF JOSEPH SKALAK
Krom Tuesday's Daily
The funeral services of the late
Joseph Skalak was held on Sunday
afternoon at the home on Lincoln
avenue and despite the severe wea
ther conditions that prevailed there
was a very large number of the old
friends and neighbors gathered to pay
their last tributes of love and re
spect for this splendid gentleman that
had been called to the last long rest.
The services were in charge of the
Rev. H. G. McClusky, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church who was
Omaha, pastor of the Bohemian Pres-
!.,.., - tw ,. Tin
ministers gave words of comfort to
the family of the bereaved and spoke
of the splendid life of the departed
and his part in the community as a
useful citizen who had striven for
the very best that was possible in
the community and had cared for and
reared his splendid family to be a
part of the community.
During the service a male quartet
composed of L. D. Hlatt. H. G. Mc
Clusky, Frank A. Cloidt and L. O.
Minor, gave two of the old and loved
hymns. "Jesus Savior, Pilot Me"
and "Rock of Ages."

last long rest in the family plot in
that beautiful city of the silent.
RETIRES FROM SERVICE
The veteran horse that for so many
years has hauled the wagon used
by the Plattsmouth Steam laundry
is" no more, that is in the active ser-
vice that has long made him a famil-'
iar figure. The passage of the years'
has brought with it the necessity of
having the horse replaced with a
faster conveyance and accordingly a
motor driven delivery wagon has been
secured that is in keeping with the
trend of the day in this line of ser-
vice. The old horse can now enjoy
a deserved rest that many years of
service has entitled him to have and
no more will he have his daily pil
grimages over the city.
The passage of this old horse leaves age come to this city, where the in

i
Sketch of Life
of Pioneer of
Plattsmouth
meir position ui sui i uw u i uau
! mast out of reverence to J. H. Bishop,
Wyandotte's Builder, the death of
John Wayraan, the city's "Grand
Old Man" caused the colors to again
droop, because of his passing.
But a few men of the country had
the same cheerful outlook upon life,
although buffeted about by many ad
versities, as did Mr. Wayman. He al
ways took an interest in the doings
of the younger men and with en
couragement offered to them, got
them to have a brighter outlook for
the task at hand.
He wanted to be where things
were doing, at all times, and noth
ing was too modern or too youthful
for him. Even during his last ill
ness he took an interest in sports
and followed baseball games of the
leagues almost religiously.
Mr. Way man waa carried back to
the sceneB of his youth during the
moments of sub-consciousness in the
past few months and he plied back
and forth on the river with a steam
boat waiting for docking.
Mr. Wayman was born in Jackson
county, Indiana, Sept. 16, 1838 and
lived his young manhood in that
state. Before the outbreak of the
Civil war and after his school days
were over, he obtained employment
on one of the steamers plying back
and forth on the Mississippi river
and many months were spent in this
occupation.
Enlists in Civil War.
With the beginning of hostilities
between the Blue and the Gray over
the question of slavery, the young
man enlisted with the first to re
spond to the call to arms and he
fought throughout the four years of
strife.
He enlisted with the Marine forces
and. was on the Mississippi Ram
fleet. During the period of the war
he was commissioned as 1st lieuten
ant. Following the establishment of
peace, Mr. Wayman again took to
boating and until 1869 he was on
the river much of the time.
At this time he removed to Platts
mouth, Nebraska, where he estab
lished a machine shop and foundry
wl ish he operated for 21 years.
Giving up this work, the deceased
went to Ford City, Pennsylvania to
work for the Pittsburgh Plate Glass
Co., which was at that time called
the Ford Glass company. He re
mained with this firm until Capt. J.
B. Ford discovered the resources for
Tlkali products in Wyandotte and
started the erection of a plant here,
which is the plant in the upper
end of the city. I
Selected by Ford.
Mr. Wayman was chosen as one
of the men to aid in the building of
the plant, because of his long serv
ice and close attention to business
as well as his engineering ability,
and thus in 1893 he came to Wyan
dotte where he has since made his
home.
For seven years, the "Grand Old
Man" was employed by the Alkali
interests, but he again felt the urge
to have a business of his own and
he established coal yards, which
were operated for nearly 15 years.
Some attention was being given at
that time to the beautifying of the
city through its parks and boule
vards and there was no man more
fitted for the task than was Mr.
Wayman. He was the first and only
Park Commissioner that Wyandotte
has ever had arid much of the beau
ty of this portion of the city has
been directly due to his direction.
He enjoyed seeing beauty spring
up where beauty had not been be
fore and his work was everyhere
commended by visitors to the city,
who noted the results he was ob
taining. Faithful Church Worker.
Mr. Wayman always lived a good
life and was a faithful church work
er. He belonged to all the Brother
hoods of the city and was an honor-
ary member of the Lutheran Men's
organization. These brotherhood
meetings were always attended by
Mr- Wayman whenever possible and
: ne was always willing to give a little
i taiK on lDe nenenis or v yandotte at
tnese meetings.
The deceased was a member of the
nsniB or fymias ror many years
and was its oldest member in the
state of Michigan. For many years
past, until last September, Mr. Way
man has attended every Grand con
vention of the organization.
He was one of the original mem
bers of the Old Sons of Rest, an or
ganization with none of the old time
organizers still surviving.
Mr. Wayman was an honorary
member of the Veterans of Foreign
experience
that he Immediately
chartered the plane to take him to
the K. of P. convention, a tilp,
which he was not able to make.
Mr. Wayman died at his home,
2833 Biddie avenue last Friday
shortly before noon and funeral ser
vices by Rev. Severance of St. Steph?
ens Episcopal church were held from
the residence Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Burial was made in the
Soldiers Plat at Ferndale cemetery.
Services were conducted by the K. of
P. and also the Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
Invalid Sister Survives.
Surviving r&Jatives left to mourn
the death of this aged man are the
widow, Mrs. Hattie, one daughter,
Mrs. Clara Daniels and a sister, Mrs,
Mollie Finney of Salem, Indiana,
who is 92 years of age.
Two cousins of Mr. Wayman, died

Big Ball Game
in Sight for the
Coming Sunday
Malvern, Iowa, to Be the Foes on
Sunday and Fort Crook to
Play During Week.
From Wednesday Dally
The coming week should be a live
ly one in the city with a carnival
in full blast and opening the series
of entertaining features will be a
ball game on Sunday that will give
the first test of the season of the
Plattsmouth and Malvern teams,
they having not met this season.
The game will depend on the
weather conditions and the fans who
were deprived of the game Sunday
with the Fort Crook Soldiers are
anxiously awaiting the coming of the
Iowa aggregation to see how strong
McCord and his crew can go against
the Distell tribe.
With the good stride that the lo
cals have been maintaining in the
last few games there should be a real
battle as Malvern has showed good
form and just recently the Iowa team
secured the services of Edward Grad
oville of this city as the receiver of
their team and who has helped
strengthen them. Plattsmouth
bunch have looked like "the goods"
in the last few games and should
chalk up another win against the
Iowa aggregation.
The local management is hoping
to be able to play off their postponed
game with the Fort Crook Soldiers
on Wednesday afternoon at the local
park and when it is hoped to have
a good crowd out to see the event
and give those who cannot attend the
Sunday games a chance to see the
doughboys and the locals in action.
It will be possible start the game
late enough in the afternoon to per
mit the business men that wish to
get out and enjoy the game.
TWO APPEAR IN GRAD
UATION RECITAL
The joint graduation of Miss Sylvia
Cole, contralto, and Miss Velma
Wood, pianist, from the University
of Nebraska School of Fine Arts Tues
day evening at the Temple Theatre
was unusally interesting. Miss Cole,
who has already made a name for her
self in Lincoln musical circles, gave
a delightful program of songs which
were especially attractive because of
their variation. Miss Cole's voice has
a warmth which is appealing, always
to the public. Her tones are clear
and sweet, and her poise and stage
presence are splendid. The two num
bers which seemed to appeal especi
ally to the audience were "Marien-
wurmichien., by Schumann, and
"Wiegenlied," by Brahms.
Miss Wood gave a very artistic
piano group, and provedherself to
be a pianest of quite Temarkable
ability. She is to be commended for
her clarity of exposition and sym
pathetic interpretation. Each gives
a sense of moral completeness: De
bussey, a vague feeling of unrest.
Miss Wood successfully suggested
these states of mind and being.
Miss Cole has been very success
ful in her work the past year as
the supervisor of music of the Platts
mouth city schools and her wonderful
talent in the lines of musical edu
cation has resulted in the very rapid
development of her pupils through
out the city school systems. Her
many friends will learn with inter
est of her splendid graduation re
cital. MAKES REAL SALESLADY
Mrs. S. A. Rhoden of Chalk Butte,
South Dakota, a former Cass county
resident, is making a great record in
her section of the country in selling
the Jiffy Rim Tool, which is manu
factured by Charles Vallery. Mrs.
Rhoden has disposed of several dozen
of these tools that are small, compact
and a great aid to the motorist in
time of trouble. Mrs. Rhoden has
kept the orders rolling in here and
from her success the residents of that
part of South Dakota will be able
to change their tires without trouble
and annoyance that frequently comes
to the motorist.

Delegation Go
Before the Board
for Graveling
Louisville, Alvo, Mynard, Cedar
Creek and Local Delegations
at the Court House.
Prom Tuesdays Tjttny
This morning there was a very
large delegation of representatives
from Alvo. Lsuisville, Mynard ami
Cedar Creek, as well as local repre
sentatives of the Chamber of Com
merce at the court house to interview
the county commissioners on the
matter of the county road graveling j
and particularly in the case of the;
Louisville road. j
The northern part of the county)
has seemingly been unable to get any .
assistance in getting out of the mud!
and made the presentation of their
case to the commissioners a strong
one, but without any appreciable re
sult as far as any move to put the,
gravel project on the way to a suc
cessful culmination that is so far as
the commissioners were concerned.
There being no east and west grav-
1 -i X ! 1 If 1 I
el road in the northern half of the
county or the means of the adjoin
ing towns tying into the county grav
el road system, as was proposed by
the members of the visiting party, the
residents of the north half of the
county were strong in their endorse
ment of the gravel proposition that
is so badly needed in the county to
make practical the use of all of the
highways that are supposed to serve
the people at all seasons of the year.
The representation made by the
visitors from out in the county was
strong and backed by strong showings
of facts and figures and the amount
that is available for this kind of work
at the present time, but their plea
fell with little effect on the members
of the Board of Commissioners.
The gravel advocates of the north
ern portion of the county are strong
boosters of the general graveling
proposition and urge the maintain
ance of all of the side roads as well
as the . highways and the large
stretches of hard surfaced roadway
in the south. east and west parts of
the county, but feel that they too are
entitled to a gravel road that covers
the distance between Plattsmouth
and Greenwood, which in muddy
weather is not a bad substitute for
the famous "no man's land" in far
off France.
