KancTf Omaha, Js'cb., who then
committed suicide, was recalled in
superior court here today when Miss
Graves was given an uncontested
crriict for $5,500 against the estate
of the man who shot her.
The suit was against Thomas
Kane, admiuifctntor ot the estate of
James Kane. .The latter was slop
ping with .-a sister at 1201 Bates
avenue here bciore going to the
brand hospital.
On the witness stand Miss Graves
detailed the short intcrvicV which
tcsulted in the shooting and suicide
the night of June 8.
"I was on night duty at the hospi
tal and knew K.nif only in a casual
way," she testified. "About J he
came into the loom. He said, 'I
'have come to say good bye. 1 am
J going west.'"
" Miss Graves said she returned a
. farewell of best wishes. - I

me three times." .
Miss Graves was in a hospital live

west to his Omaha home.

Platte River Hermit, Hunter
By Day, Star Gazer By Night
Intrenched in a -formidable cave,
deep in the fastnesses of the virgin
wilderness along the banks of the
Flatte river near the state fisheries,
lives a man. " '
He's unkempt and he has a pierc
ing eye but he knows the stars, the
ioou and nature.
Barefoot, he spends his days hunt
ivg anything and everything and
his nights he studies the heavens.
Jle answers to the name of Old
Henyy and he's known as the Platte
River Hermit.
His past no one knows.
His present little is known of
that.
His future he u.cd to boast he'd
live to be 200 years old, hut Time
has laid a heavy band on the old
mail's shouWrs and he has aban
doned that idle flaunt.
Gathers Food.
The hermit gat-hcrs acorus and
dandelion roots, which he stores in
his cave for fuliirc food.
But of late years he has been gath
ering the food left by the parties of
motorists who visit the state fisher
ies near by.
Old Henry . walks a great deal.
He's always tramping through the
woods lie loves 'so w ell, but a certain
portion of his time he devotes to the
frank admission that he was the "lire

the fisheries.
Old Henry's cave is built on a
slight slope of the banks of a thickly
wooded ravine.
The roof is covered with old tin,
tar paper and varied materials held
down by old stove irons, rocks and
boulders to keep out the weather.
The cave has two small openings
for windows and a wooden door set
in a frame.
A rope running to the crotch of a
tree, overhanging the cave, then back
to the top of the cave, is fastened
to a heavy piece of tin, which, when
pulled tip and down from within,
frightens the snakes.
Consumed by Fire.
An improvised fire escape is built
up the generous trunk of a tree
testament of the fire which once
consumed the old hermit's lop cabin.
Around the cae, a stockade is
built of dried oak branches fastened
with wire to keep out stray animals
and serve as an effective camouflage.
The accompanying picture of the
cave was made by setting the camera
in the crotch of a tree, nosing

water and comb it through the hair.
Full directions for use and a gold

One box will last you for months.
"It is safe, does not rub off, is
not sticky or gummy and leaves
the hair fluffy. It will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
younger."
