Make Our Booth Your Headquarters Strange Mixup Causes the Wrong Body to Be Buried in Omaha Grave A strange mixup !of dead bodies was brought to light in county court when facts came to light on the bury ing of Clinton Daniel, negro, in Omaha July 12. Banks & Wilkes, undertakers, met a train and got "a body they believed was that of William Gray, who was drowned at Central City July 7, This was on July 12. Wilkes was appointed special administrator of Gray's "es tate," which totaled $60. But it now developes that the un dertakers buried the body of Clinton Daniel, negro, who died at Mercer, Neb., on the same day that Gray, a white man, died at Charles City. Banks & Wilkes thought they were burying Gray's body, but Jn reality they were .burying that of Daniel. Gray's body was sent through to Evansville, 111., and the undertakers' expenses were already paid at Cen tral City. Wilkes will now have to refund $50 funeral expenses on Daniels' body to the Union Pacific, which will give the money to Gray's father. In other words, the undertakers collected the money out of Gray's es tate to pay the funeral expenses, of Daniel. s The mixup was occasioned by the sending of the wrong telegram to Omaha authorities, who in turn noti fied th undertakers to take charge of a body. , f SECURITY J Moderate Priced Tires Ask the Congress -Man The best and surest . way to satisfy yourself regarding tire values is to ask the man who uses them.
