DEATH DUE TO INFECTION
Reports on the autopsy on Lee
Capper, local youth who died at
Omaha on Friday, show that the
cause of death was not that of ap
pendicitis but rather of the nature
of an infection that had spread and
made difficult handling of the case.
In a report of the autopsy made to
Dr. R. P. Westover, the following
was given:
"As to the cause of his Infection,
some small cut or abrasion could be
behind it. Possibly in his case, the
fact that he went swimming five or
six days before in the cold Platte
river may be the source of his infec
tion. Anyway, the mortality rate in
such cases is 100 per cent and the
rapidity of the decline of his general
condition Thursday night demon
strated the severity of his infection."
Mrs. Ray Norris, in charge of the
Red Cross swimming demonstration
each year has found that water In
the swimming pools and beaches is
exceptionally pure and this year
there will be tests made to see that
the high standard is maintained.

figure in this city, passed away at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Anna

age, Mrs. Jelinek had seemed to be
in very good health, but Sundsy,
June 4, she was taken ill, her illness
later developing into pneumonia.

very critical, such that little hope of
her recovery was held and members
of the family from distant points
were called, they all being present
when the last summons came.

among the leading Czech famines
L-oming to America and who also set-
led in the west part of this city in
the latter part of the nineteenth cen
tury where they both resided until
their death.
They were also one of the lirst
families of the Holy Rosary church
on its organization on October 4,
1891, and both have been very de
vout members of this church. Mrs.
Jelinek was very active in the so
cieties of the church, she being a
member of the Altar society and St.
Ludmilla's society at the time ot
her passing.
On November 12, 1909, the be
loved husband. James Jelinek passed
away, leaving the wife and four
daughters alone through life. For
many years Mrs. Jelinek had resided
on the family homestead, following
her husband's death and in her ad
vanced years she was forced to re
