Worth Shiveley and Stanley Hager, young men about eighteen years of age became involved in a quarrel on the main street of Nemaha about four o’clock Sunday afternoon and Shiveley was stabbed with knife in the hands of Hager, dying a few moments after the wounds were inflicted. Hager was brought at once to Auburn by citizens of Nemaha and turned over to Sheriff Rogers and County Attorney Armstrong started for Nemaha where they found considerable excitement to prevail. The body of Shiveley had been taken from the drug store where he died to the city hall. A coroner’s jury was empaneled and view the remains and learned the nature of the wound that had caused death after which the body was taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Shiveley south of Nemaha. The coroner’s inquest was held in the city hall at Nemaha the same evening. At the time of the inspection of by body by the jurors, but one wound, a deep cut in the side of the neck was found, but when the body was prepared for burial later two other knife wounds were found, one in the back and one on the shoulder. The inquest was of the most searching nature and all witnesses who could throw any light on the tragedy were examined. About midnight and adjournment was taken until 4:00 o’clock Monday afternoon for the purpose of securing additional evidence. When the jury convened Monday the above verdict was returned.

The evidence indicated that after having engaged in an argument with Hager, Shiveley started to walk away when Hager ran up and struck him in the back twice. Shiveley then turned and struck at his assailant, when Hager stabbed him in the neck. Hager than ran east and proceeded to his home. Men who had witnessed the trouble came to the assistance of Shiveley but not having seen the knife in Hager’s hand, did not know that he had been stabbed. They took him into the drug store and Dr. Kelley started to make and examination of his injuries, but after having been placed upon a couch, Shiveley complained that he was fainting and died almost immediately. An ordinary pocket knife with a sharp point and as keen as a razors used. A great many reports are in circulation as to previous threats on then part of Hager and other trouble in which he had been involved but the true and false will only be known when the case comes on for trial. Hager was visibly affected when he learned that Shiveley was dead.

Hager was arranged in the county court Wednesday morning and when the complaint was read to him he pleaded not guilty to the two counts, one charging hime with murder in the first degree and the other with murder in the second degree. The complaint was read by County Attorney Armstrong. H. A. Lambert appeared for the defendant. Only the defendant, the attorneys, the deputy sheriff and a Herald reporter were in court when the lad was arraigned. He was visibly affected and several times wiped the tears from his eyes. He answered the questions put to him in a clear voice but there was no bravado in his attitude. His plea of not guilty was duly entered and the preliminary hearing set for ten o’clock Saturday morning. The young man who is a son of Cassa Hager of Nemaha was questioned informally by Judge Hawxby. He said that he was raised in Missouri and had never attended school beyond the fourth grade. He said that since that time he had worked and helped to support the large family.

——————————————

Worth Adali Shiveley, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Shiveley was born on the farm east of the home place south of Nemaha August 20, 1900, and his age at the time of death was 17 years, 6 months and 4 days. He was the second son of a family of six children four of whom are living, and infant brother having preceded him in death. The remaining children are Ward, Ruby, Ruth and Donald. Worth was a boy of very pleasant disposition and good habits. He was industrious by nature and always ready for any task. He was generous and kind hearted and always willing to accommodate a friend and his general traits of character were such as to indicate that he would as the years passed, become a worthy citizen of the community and an honor to his family. He attended school at both Stella and Nemaha and made many friends among his schoolmates at both places all of whom speak of him in the highest terms. He was baptized and united with the Christian church October 30, 1909 and thus in the days of his youth had laid the foundation for a Christian life. His untimely and tragic death has darkened the home with the shadow of the deepest sorrow and has brought grief also to the wide circle of friends who held him in such high regard. These friends sympathize with the family no less deeply because words are utterly inadequate to fully express their sentiment. This sympathy is shared by his parents, two brothers and two sisters, two grandmothers and numerous uncles, aunts and cousins.

The funeral was held from the Christian church in Nemaha at 10:30 o’clock Wednesday morning and the services were conducted by Rev. Elliott of Peru and Rev. J. W. Sapp of Nemaha. The public schools and places of business were closed during the services. Twelve intimate friends of the deceased serves as active and honorary pall bearers. After the services the remains were taken to Prairie Union cemetery and a great mass of flowers completely covered the casket and surrounded the grave.

Bound Over On Charge Of Murder

AT the Preliminary Hearing Saturday Before Judge Hawxby, Stanley Hager Was Bound Over

Tried At Next Term

Case Will Come Before The District Court Which Convenes The First Of Next Week

Stanley Hager, the young man who was arrested the first of last week and held as the result of having stabbed Worth Shiveley of Nemaha, and caused his death, was given a preliminary hearing Saturday before Judge Hawxby. By the time Court convened the room was paced with interested spectators, a great many of them coming from Nemaha. County Attorney Armstrong was assisted by Att. Edgar Ferneau and the defendant was represented by Lambert & Armstrong. The first witness called was Milt Cogsdill who testified to having spent a portion of the day in the company of Hager together with a number of other boys. He testified that Hager had quarreled with Robert Choleric at the park during the afternoon, and that later the boys were on the street when Hager came up and another quarrel started in which Shiveley was involved, the boys came to blows and after Shiveley had turned away Hager stabbed at his back and as Shiveley turned he was stabbed on the arm and then just above the shoulder blade which blow was the cause of his death. He was cross examined by the defense, but neither side was able to get a complete story from him. Leland Moore was then called and told in part as above.

Kirk Brown was a witness and testified as to the condition of the body, depth of the wound and that he found four different places in the boy’s clothing where the knife had penetrated. Dr. Kelley was then called to the stand and he testified that the wound near the collar bone was the one that really caused the boy’s death as the jugular vein was severed at this time which caused a hemmorage. He like-wise testified as to the condition of the boy’s clothing etc.

Sheriff Rogers was then called to the stand and was called upon to identify the knife which was used as an exhibit. The sheriff testified that Hager had told him where he put the knife when he had run home after the fight and the Sheriff went after it. Many interesting points were brought out in the preliminary and when the trial is set in all probability many more features will be brought out.

Man Perishes Under Train

Laboror Apparently Asleep Between Rails

The decapitated body of a Springfield laborer was found early today on the Frisco spur track where he evidently had been sleeping.

He is identified as Stanley Ernest Hager, 54, of 835 Nichols.

The body was found at 6:30 a.m. on the Phelps “team track” number one, northernmost spur beneath the Benton Avenue viaduct.

The discovery was made by Luther Johnson, 24, of 2919 West Water, a Frisco switchman.

Hager’s body was lying length wise between the rails near the north rail. His right arm was severed and his head was severed at the shoulders. The head was lying just outside the north rail.

Hager was clad in tan trousers and a dark-colored shirt which bore flange marks at the neck.

Pinching action of the car wheel which evidently rolled over him prevented bleeding, police said.

Coroner Dr. E. Allen Pckens, who set an inquest for 7 o’clock tomorrow night at Alma Lohmeyer-Jewell E. Windle Chapel, said Hager had been dead about three hours.

********

The crew of which Johnson was a member had been switching on the track for several hours, but officers were unable to find any evidence on any of the cars to show which one struck Hager.

According to a report by Sgt. Carl Gustafson and Officer Estle Hamilton, it is believed that Hager was sleeping on a wooden grain door lying between the rails.

Near the grain door officers found a piece of brown cardboard, a sweater, a blue shop cap and a partly-filled wine bottle.

Between the grain door and the body, found about 40 feet to the west, officers discovered three pieces of flesh on the outside of the rail and on the inside.

Scuff marks in the cinder road-bed indicated the body was dragged to the point where it was found,, police said.

*********

A boxcar was parked over the grain door, cap, and sweater when when the body was found nearby.

Johnson was standing near the track, checking to see if boxcar doors cleared a viaduct  support, when he saw the body.

Other crew members are listed as Engineer Jack Brewer, e9, of 1124 East Portland and Foreman J. A. Parson, 41, of 700 North Rogers.

A jailer said that when Hager was released Monday, after serving time for drunkenness, he promised that he wouldn’t be back in court again.

Hager moved here from Polk County 18 years ago.

Woman Is Called To Life Eternal

Aged Resident Of Nemaha Passed Away After Short Illness And Leaves Family And Friends To Mourn Her Going — Had Lived Here Many Years

Some five years ago Mrs. Shiveley had a severe illness and although she partially recovered her health was so impaired that she was unable to withstand the attack of pneumonia which developed following a severe cold.

Mrs. Shiveley had been a resident of Nemaha for 28 years and of the state for 43 years, having lived on a farm three and one-half miles southeast of Nemaha previous to moving to town. She had done much for the betterment of the community in which she lived and will be sadly missed by all.

Susan I. Hall was born in Adams county, Ohio November 18, 1851 and departed this life December 29, 1929 at her home in Nemaha at the age of 78 years, 1 month and 11 days.

She was one of ten children. In 1870 she was married to W. H. Robinson. Two children were born to this union, M. R. Robinson of Lone Jack, Mo., and one daughter, Mae, who died in infancy.

Her great joy was in doing for others. Among the noblest deeds of her life was the adoption of Roy Brown, and orphan child for whom she tenderly cared until he died at the age of 17 years. She was a wonderful mother to her children and grandchildren and a neighbor to everyone. The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved family, who miss her greatly.

Seaton, Oct. 7.—Lawrence D. Shively of Seaton was instantly killed Tuesday afternoon when he was crushed under a corn sheller. The accident occurred about 3:30 o’clock on the lane leading from the Homer Clark farm near Belmont, 6 miles southwest of Seaton. Mr. Shively was employed by Roy Rader and son Edward, the latter being the driver of the tractor drawing the sheller. They had finished shelling at the Clark farm and were enroute from there when the hitch broke letting the sheller loose. Mr. Shively was on the sheller and was thrown into the path as it overturned several times. Dr. H. D. Stites of Aledo was called but Mr. Shively was dead before he arrived. Coroner Mellor of Henderson county conducted an investigation and several witnesses told of the accident. The remains were taken to the Sherrard funeral home in Aledo, pending the arrival of relatives who will attend to the funeral arrangements. His mother Mrs. J. W. Shively is expected from Braymer, Mo., today and also a brother Wm. from the same place.

Lawrence Shively was 58 years old. He came here in 1917 from Missouri and was employed on farms in this vicinity for many years. He made his home in Seaton.

Killed At Monmouth By Sheller Tipping

This paper last week carried the fact that Lawrence Shively, son of Mrs. J. W. Shively and brother of Wm. R. Shively of this city, had been killed in an accident near Monmouth, Ills.

A brother, John of Warrensburg joined Wm. R. here and they went to Seaton to attend the funeral which took place at the Seaton church last Friday morning at 10 o’clock. The burial was in Seaton cemetery.

The Seaton Independent in telling of the accident said:

Lawrence D. Shively, 57, was killed about 3:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon when he was thrown from a corn sheller and crushed by it as it overturned several times. The accident occurred on the Homer Clark lane, six miles southwest of Seaton as Mr. Shively and Edward Rader were leaving the Clark farm where the sheller had been in operation. Mr. Rader was driving the tractor which pulled the sheller. The rivets in the hitch connecting the two machines gave way and the sheller toppled sideways into a ditch and over.

Lawrence D. Shively was born at Breckenridge, Missouri, Feb. 24, 1885 and came to the Seaton community which had been his home since 1917. He had received injuries when a lad of 14 which had handicapped him considerably. He was able to work and was employed in farm work during his 25 years of residence.

Constable Lewis Loses His Office

One of those unfortunate affairs that are always deplored by any community, says the Glasgow Globe, occurred in our city Monday night at about seven o’clock, when James B. Lewis, deputy constable of Chariton township, shot at Sig Shively, city night officer, with a revolver, the bullet penetrating his overcoat, coat and vest, and lodging against the band of his trousers.

It seems, from all we can learn, that Mr. Lewis and W. A. Howard had had some words in regard to the former serving of an execution in favor of E. E. Rall, and that Howard left Lewis and started down the street, Lewis following. Mr. Shively fearing further trouble, intervened, and told Mr. Lewis not to create any further disturbance. After some words Mr. Lewis walked to Price’s corner and returned, meeting Mr. Shively at Stegner’s harness shop. Here words were renewed and Mr. Shively attempted to arrest Mr. Lewis. A scuffle ensued and Shively threw Lewis down in Stegner’s doorway. As they fell Mr. Lewis discharged his pistol; the ball, after passing through overcoat, coat and vest, falling to the ground. Mr. Shively felt the sting of the bullet. Later, Mr. Lewis was placed under arrest by Mayor Southworth, and in company with J. B. Morgan, was escorted to the calaboose, but was at once released on his own recognizance. Tuesday morning, Constable William Crigler officially deprived Mr. Lewis of his deputyship.

Gypsies In Town

A band of gypsies traveling in two trucks and three cars, came into town Saturday and attracted a crowd of spectators. They stopped in front of the Z. & S. Garage and scattered about the different stores and finally a couple of boys went into the garage and loafed about for a while. After they left Ed Lyons missed a watch valued at $50. He hunted up Sig Shively, deputy marshal, and told him his troubles. Shively interviewed some of the band, but soon found that would get him nowhere, so he took the two boys who had been in the garage and locked them up. This provoked a near riot, as some of the some grew very abusive. While the wrangling was going on some one of the bunch slipped into the garage and put the watch back where is was later found. The boys were released and the gang given orders to leave town at once, which they did promptly. They were a dirty, thieving lot, and should be kept on the move.

Bring Back Barbershops

Getting a haircut just isn’t the same anymore. Women ruined it.

Finding a male-only barbershop nowadays is about as rare as finding someone who appreciates the same music I do. The advent of unisex haircutting salons has all but destroyed one of our most hallowed institutions.

The rite of passage into manhood was the first time mom allowed me to go to Banks Shively’s barbershop alone and get a “regular” haircut. No more nicked ears and pulled hair from our neighbor’s energetic but misguided attempts at barbering.

Banks Shively ran a masculine hangout. Women rarely came around there, and when they did have to go inside while their kid was in the chair, we made them feel at ease.

Men who wanted to avoid boring shopping trips or stay away from the women in their lives could retreat to the barbershop until quite late. Banks opened at 9 a.m. and seldom finished before 10 at night six days a week. He’d also cut your hair on Sunday if you had to go to a wedding or a funeral.

Reading material was very manly. We read “Sports Afield,” “Esquire,” and “True Detective.” Once Banks remodeled the entire shop and put up a wonderful mural of men fishing in rowboats in a deep blue lake surrounded by pine trees and snow-capped mountains.

We discussed sports, hunting, fishing and farming. In those days, no one talked dirty. But if you had to use the restroom (there was one only one — clearly labeled “MEN”) you would find pictures of pretty girls tacked inside the door. But they always maintained a gracious, modest, yet sexy dignity.

With the arrival of longer hair, barbershops like Banks Shiveley’s mostly have gone the way of the peace sign.

And the hypnotic revolving red, white and blue barber pole also has almost disappeared. Now you have to go to a unisex shop and they have any king of emblem.

Forests of plants, and artsy pictures are the decor now. They cut your vairwith a razor. The application of hot towels, steaming shaving cream and a razor sharpened on an ageless strap were sensual pleasure that few unisex shops offer. Instead, blow dryers have replaced the strap and drive you crazy with their incessant whine.

And the reading material is boring. You get “Time,” “Newsweek,” “Glamour,” “Redbook” and several magazines picturing the wonderful hairstyles possible through the use of the miracle of those howling hairdryers.

And what do married, middle-aged unacquainted men and women talk about in a unisex shop? Television? Weather?

Of course, you can’t ban a women from barbershops, but you can send them back to beauty salons where they belong. I’m sure many women would agree that separate-but-equal facilities sometimes still are a good thing.

Banks Shively never would run a unisex shop, no sir!
