Did Gertrude Garcia, or Davis, the

because she was unswervingly loyal to

of some detectives that the Mexican

COUNTY WARD DEAD,
STARVES HERSELF
Mrs. Julia Wheaton Of Valley
Refuses to Take Any Sort
of Nourishment.
FORCE FOOD INTO STOMACH

After refusing food for weeks,
kept alive by injections OF soups and
undergoing the experience OF having
bits OF food forced into her mouth by
county physicians, Mrs. Julia Whea-
ton, grandmother aged 70 years,
passed away at the county hospital
at 10 o'clock Tuesday night. Self
imposed starvation" is the cause OF
death given by attending physicians.
Mrs, Wheaton was taken to the
county hospital OH September after
citizens of Valley had interested
themselves in her Condition and care.
For months she lived in a shack at
Valley. Her demented condition
caused neighbors to appeal 10 coun-
ty officials, but when she was placed
in the hospital she sternly refused to
take nourishment.
1--WE have devoted all our energies
toward saving the life of Mrs. Whea-
ton since she has been in our care"
said Superintendent Wood of the
county hospital. 1.-TWO physicians
have been giving her their undivided
attention and have been constantly
forced to inject liquid foods into her
stomach. She has fought all efforts
to save her life and has apparently
been suffering under the delusion
that the physicians intended to harm
her.
"ln her rambling statements she
told OF son, but refused to give us
his address. She has sister, Mrs.
Nellie Bryant, living at Elk City, and
a daughter somewhere in the middle
west. We were unable to get the ad,

ton when she was brought to the
hospital, Mrs. Wheaton fought siren
uously when attempts were made to

Farmers Plant More

General Manager Walters of the

tour of the company's Nebraska lines
and asserts that he has never seen
the whole state as prosperous as now
and crops generally as good.
According to Mr.. Walters, farmers,
due i'll a measure to the high prices
paid for grain, are putting in larger
acreage OF winter wheat than ever be-
fore. The ground is in perfect con-
dition for blowing and seeding.
Practically all over the state, as
serts Mr.. Walters, corn has passed
beyond the period where there would
be any damage from frost. The corn,
generally, is good and the yield will

Finds in Omaha Safety She
Sought from Raiding Zeppelins

Omaha, L. S, A., looks pretty good
to Nellie Shepherd OF London, Eng
land, who is just now visiting with
her sister, Mrs. Hector D. Black, at
2502 South Twentieth avenue. Miss
Shepherd has lived in London during
several Zeppelin raids and says the
experience is rather trying, even
when one is not directly involved.
The unpleasant prospect of being
just underneath several hundred
pounds of high explosives, dropped
from several thousand feet up in the
air, isn't the most supporting, and
so she feels quite a bit of relief from
being in Omaha, which is quite some
distance further from salt water than
she ever was before. Miss Shepherd
is vaudeville actress and expects to
make her home in this country, now
that she is here. Her ride from New
York to Omaha was quite surprise
to her, for she had no idea OF the
vastness of the country, nor the ex-
tent of its development. Her moth
