DIES AT OMAHA
The death of Mrs. Annamae O'Con
nell, 30, occurred Thursday at Omaha
following a short illness, but which
had not been thought to be of a dan
gerous nature. Mrs. O'Connell was a
former resident of this city where
she spent her younger years and re
ceived her education in the city
schools. The family left here some
fourteen years ago and have since
made their home in Omaha and
where she was married to Ernest
O'Connell several years ago.
The deceased lady was a daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Sawyer who
resided here for a number of years,
I Mr. Sawyer being employed in the
'shops here prior to the strike of
1922.
There is surviving the husband,
Ernest, one son, Raymond, the par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Sawyer,
two brothers, John Edward and Eu
gene and two sisters, Mrs. Margaret
Prusha and Miss Marie, all of Omaha.
The deceased was a niece of the late
Mrs. William Shea of this city and is
well known to many local people who
will regret very much to learn of her
passing.
The funeral will be held at 9 a. m.
Saturday from the St. Agnes Catholic
church at South Omaha. Interment
will be made at Plattsmouth.
BANNING SAYS CORN DRY
W. B. Banning, director of the
state department of agriculture, said
Nebraska needs rain within a week or
the corn crop will be damaged 50
to 60 percent. Banning, Just return
ed from a trip to the western part of
the state, said much of the corn he
saw was still holding its own, but
could not do so much longer with
out moisture. Irrigated fields of
wheat in western areas made as much
as 35 to 40 bushels to the acre, while
wheat on the uplands, not irrigated,
made only 2 to 9 bushels per acre.
He heard of one oats field, not Irri
gated, that made 71 bushels to the
acre.
"Beets are good," Banning said
"but acreage around Scottsbluff and
Gering is down. Potatoes are in good
condition but unirrigated plots need
rain soon."

CONDITION UNCHANGED
Messages from the hospital at
Omaha this morning are to the effect
that S. S. Gooding's condition re
mains but little changed. The neck
injury of the aged man is the most
severe and it Is thought that the
veretbra had been dislocated and
which has made necessary placing
the neck in a cast and also a weight
attached to the neck of Mr. Gooding.
He is able to recognize the members
of the family and his mind seems
clear and apparently no skull frac
ture resulted from the injury that
he sustained.
