into the loose gravel along the side
of the road and was overturned, the
right front wheel of the car being
broken when the car turned over and
rolled along the roadside.
The occupants of the car aside
from Mr. Daniels were in injured and
at first it was net thought that Henry
Daniels was seriously injured as he
picked himself up from the roadside
where he was thrown and walked
some twenty feet from the car and
then fell to the roadway, dying in a
few seconds. The cause of the death
as afr as could be ascertained was
that he had received a blow from
part of the car at the back of the
neck and which it is though caused
a broken neck. Wendell Meechan.
friend of the Daniels boys, had
leaped from the car when it started
to overturn and suffered but little
from the effects of the accident while
Ivan Daniels, the driver of the car
while bruised and shaken up. did
not receive any dangerous injuries.
Sheriff Bert Reed and County At
torney W. G. Kieck were notified of
the accident and drove with Deputy
Sheriff Young to the scene of the
tragedy and as the cause of the death
was clearly an accident, no inquest
was. held.

April 3, 1907, in Mills County, Iowa,
and was just past his twenty-second
birthday, and leaves to mourn his
death a young wife and a babe of
two and a half months. He is a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Daniels of
this city and is survived by several
brothers.
Mr. Daniels has been working at

shops.
CHARGED WITH POSSESSION
From Monday's rallr
Yesterday morn'.g Sheriff Reed
and Deputy Sheriff Rex Young were
called out to the K. T. highway just
south of this city where a party of
colored people had become mired in
on" of the bad places in the highway
at about 3 o'clock, three of the oc
cupants catching a ride with friends
on to thir home at Nebraska City
and leaving the owner of the car to
get out when help might arrive.
When the officers arrived it was
found that one of the members cf the
party had thoughtlessly left a bottle
containing a small amount of liquor
on the seat of the car. and as a re
sult of which find a charge of pos
session was filed against C. A. Wil
son, owner of the car.
Mr. Wilson was taking a number
of friends and guests back to Nebras
ka City after a visit in Omaha and
except for the bad roads everything
would have been fine. As it is. the
owner of the car faces a charge that
will probably lead to a fine.

From Tuesday's Daily
Frank Wheeler, city marshal at
Louisville, was here today and bring
ing with him four pints of cornjuice
that he had captured last evening
along the railroad tracks and which
it is alleged is the property of Vir
gel Delzene and "Mose" Barr. The
matter was first brought to the at

the track and at once the marshal
moved on the stock and had it gath
ered in and now it reposes in the

Death Comes
to Mrs. Gillespie
at Hospital
Well Known Plattsmouth Lady Suc
cumbs to the Effects of Blood
Poisoning Sunday
Prom Monday's Tally
After six weeks of treatment at
the Immanuel hospital at Omaha oc
curred the depth early Sunday morn
ing of Mrs. W. F. Gillespie, one cT
the long time resident of the com
munity and a lady loved and es
teemed by a large circle of friends
over this section where she has so
long made her home.
The death came as the result of
an injury received eight weeks ago
and which was not regarded serious
ly at the time but later developed
an infection and poisoning of her
blood stream that resulted in her
death. Mrs. Gillespie had a small
wire from a screen penetrate her
right thumb and this later apparent
ly healed over and it was not until
later when a splinter was lodged in
the same thumb that the infection
appeared and which in a few days
grew so bad that six weeks ago Mrs.
Gillespie was taken to the hospital
and where is was found necessary to
amputate the right arm in the hope
of checking the infection, but this
proved unavailing as the patient
continued to grow worse and despite
all that the medcal skill could com
mand or loving hands administer, the
suffering lady continued to grow
worse until the past week when hope
of her recovery was definitely aban
doned and she gradually sank into
the last long rest and which brought
the relief from the weeks of suffer
ing and as the day was breaking
Sunday morning she received the call
to the last long journey and the re
lief from her suffering.
In the weeks that Mrs. Gillespie
has been ill the friends here have
anxiously awaited word :from her
bedside and while encouraged by ap
parent rallies, these were followed by
relapses, each more serious than the
last, until the end.
Myrtle Ida Henton, daughter of
one of the pioneer families of this
part of the west was born at Platts
mouth October 7. 1S65, her family
having been early settlers in this
vicinity, here she grew to woman
hood, attending the local schools and
this community has been the scene
of her entire lifetime. On August
15, 1886, Miss Henton was united
in marriage to William F. Gillespie
at Mynard and at which place the
family made their home until ten
years ago in 1919 when Mr. and Mrs.
Gillespie moved to Plattsmouth and
have since made their home in this
community and where they have en
joyed the love and esteem of a very
large circle of warm friends. The
deceased lady was a member of Home
chapter No. 189, Order of the East
ern Star for a great many years and
active in the work of this order. She
is survived by the husband, and one
sister, Mrs. Allie Adam3 of this city,
as well as a number of nieces and
nephews.

American Legion, Women's Relief
Corps. Grand Army of the Republic,
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion and the Legion Auxiliary, met at
the home of Mrs. E. H. Wescott,
chairman of the council and the mat
ter of the observance of memorial day
was taken up. The various societies
are to have some definite part in the
program and arrangements as well
as the members of the Boy Scouts
who have proven invaluable in the
work of carrying out the programs
each memorial day. Owing to the
fact that age and ill health have
rendered it impossible for the Grand
Army to longer do the active ar
ranging the observance the other
societies are striving to carry on
the day that especially honors the
civil war veterans.
The council also voted to donate
$10 as a ward to the Ca'ss county
boy proving the most efficient at the
C. M. T. C. at Fort Crook during the
month of August.
ENTERS PLEA OF GUILTY
From Wednesday I?ally
This morning the sequel to the
finding of several pints of "corn
licker" along the railroad tracks at
Louisville, was staged in the county
court. The officers were out to Louis
ville last evening and secured Moses
Barr, who with Virgel Delzeen had
been charged as the owners of the
booze, bringing Mr. Barr on in to
face the ordeal. When the officers
attempted to locate Delzeen it was
found that he had fled from the
cement city, so Mr. Barr was all
alone in the arraignment this morn
ing in the county court. A plea of
guilty was made by the prisoner and
the court assessed a fine of $100 and
costs which the defendant is arrang
ing to settle and once more breath
the fresh air of freedom.

goods the year 'round.

Success of th
Trade Show was
Phenomenal
Merchants and General Public All
More Than Pleased with the
Entertainment Provided
From Monday's Dail
The Merchants Trade Exposition,
sponsored by the American Legion
and held in the Legion Community
building here the last four days of
last week, went over in such manner
that the participating dealers are al
ready laying plans for a bigger and
better show next year.
The attendance for the four nights
went slightly over Jthe 3,000 mark,
and but for rain Saturday night an
other 500 or more would have been
present to view the exhibits of the
twenty-five dealers having booths.
As a special entertainment feature
the closing night, Millie Bulin was
secured to play a couple of selections
on her new $500 piano accordion, and
the Melodlans orchestra, of Cullom,
was on the job playing throughout
the evening. During the latter part
of the evening dancing- was indulged
in. to the pleasure of many who had
missed the nightly dances at Legion
carnivals in the past.
The Legion's eoUv- purpose in put
ting on the show was to give the
merchants opportunity of using the
building their contributions had help
ed to build and although the show
proved more than self-supporting,
no appreciable amount of money will
be cleared. The Legion hopes to be
able to pay off indebtedness on the
new ventilating fan recently install
ed and at least a portion of its taxes
from the profits.
In December use of the building
will be given outright for another big
community enterprise, the tri-county
Poultry show, sponsored by the Agri
cultural committee of the Chamber
of Commerce. This show has been
held at Ashland for several years and
it is only by having such a large and
spacious building available that the
show can be brought here this year.
Dealers participating in the Trade
show last week, report sales of the
products they were demonstrating
that would far more than justify the
srnalf expense, to say nothing of the
large numbers of prospects whom
Uiey can "work on" in the future.
Much credit for the success of the
show is due to W. R. Holly, who is
general chairman of Legion promo
tions and one of the hardest and
most willing workers in the entire
post membership. Besides laying out
the booths and getting everything
lined up to go on the opening night,
Holly shouldered much of the re
sponsibility of putting over the style
show on Thursday and Friday nights
and looking after the hundred and
one other details so necessary to
put anything across successfully. In
the carpenter work, wiring, etc., he
was ably assisted by a goodly num
ber of the members, who can always
be depended upon to turn out In
large numbers when there is work
to be done.
AT MASONIC HOME
E. A. Kirkpatrick, one of the prom
inent residents of Cass county and
long active members of the Masonic
fraternity in the county, arrived
here Sunday afternon and will make
his home in the future at the Ne
braska Masonic Home, the wonderful
home that the spirit of fraternal
love has erected for the aged and
ailing members of the order. Mrs.
Kirkpatrick has been very poorly in
health for some time and has just
recently returned from the hospital
at Nebraska City where he was tak
ing treatment for a period of several
weeks. The aged wife has also been
very poorly and the condition of the
husband being such as to require the
most exacting attention he was
brought to this city to be a member
of the large family at the Home.
WILL UNDERGO OPERATION
From Monday's Dally
Yesterday James Bridgewater de
parted for Omaha where he entered
the St. Joseph hospital and will be
operated on, today for hernia that
has been causing him more or less
annoyance for some time. The many
friends of this genial young man are
trusting that he may soon be able to
return home and resume his usual
activities and securing permanent relief.
Creamery Shows
Fine Increase In
Business Here
Demand For Output Is Getting Large
and Keeps Force Busy
Churning Butter
The Farmers Co-operative Cream
ery, opened here on December 27 in,
is fast becoming a real industry and
as the fame and quality of the Cat-Co
butter is spreading the demand on
the resources of tho creamery i;;
growing by leaps and bounds.
The butter making of the plant
has been increased and faces further
enlargement of this part of the plant
in the future so that daily churnings
will be necessary in order to any
ways supply the demand for this
quality butter, and Manager Phillip
Hoffman and his assistants are con
stantly kept on the go getting the
butter ready and shipping it to the
various points where it is being
handled. A great many of the large
jobbing markets are seeking the
CasCo butter for their patrons and
the product of the local creamery
well deserves the slogan, "It Melts
in the Mouth."
The rapid growth of the business
of the creamery has more than ex
ceeded the hopes of the most opto-
mistic booster and with a bright
future that is before the creamery
there is no reason that it should not
become one of the largest in this
part of the west as its standard of
products is of the very highest.

Plattsmouth's
Oldest Resident
Has Anniversary
A. W. White Observes the Passing
of His Eighty-Third Birthday
Here 72 Years
i From Wednesday's Pallv
; Today was the eighty-third anni
' versary of Plattsmouth oldest and
'one of the most highly vrteerm-d resi
dents Alfred W. White and upon
I whom time has lightly lain, in fact
!th:'. loved resident could readily pass
(for one much younger than his r-al
age.
i Mr. White was horn in Yorkshire,
(England, on May 1, 1840. and while
I yet a lad of tender years his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. White,
departed from their native land to
the great nation across the sea, the
United States, and in this land of
ours the lifetime of the members of
the family have been spent and
those who have passed away, rest
in the land of their adoption.
On coming to this country the
White family came west and were
among the bands cf pioneers who in
1S5 5 came westward across the west
ern plains to the great Salt Lake
basin and where they spent a short
time and then decided to return to
the middle west to settle. The family
arrived here to make their home
permanently in 1357, and it is a
clear memory to A. W. White of the
day that the wagon train bearing
his parents, brothers and sisters and
the household goods that had been
spared from the long journey across
the plains, entered this city, coming
through the southwest part of the
city onto the main business section,
then a few log buildings along the
river front.
The White family have had a large
part in the community life and have
been instrumental in the upbuilding
of the city, the family being identi
fied with the business activities of
the city from the very earliest days,
Mr. White continuing in business
until a few years ago when he re
tired to enjoy In rest and peace his
declining years.
In his lifetime of sevent3'-two
years in this community Mr. White
has had a career of which he can
be proud a man that can say with
all candor that no one has suffered
from any act of his. that his honesty
and intergity is beyond reproach and
that he has the highest respect and
esteem of everyone in the commun
ity goes without saying. To know
Mr. White is to know one of nature's
real noblemen.
