Sudden Death of Walter Johnson Shocks North Platte
Walter Johnson dropped dead around 6:30 PM Wednesday while waiting on customers at Waltemath's saloon. Despite Dr. McCabe's rush, death was due to heart failure. Johnson, long a respected local figure with plans to marry soon, lies mourned as the city council meets and issues liquor licenses.
