He contends his prior marriage to Hettie Bexler violated due to being his first cousin, after allegedly marrying Pearl Stoner in 1909 while a wife lived. Captain Robert L. Hamilton reports for duty as special military aide to the Nebraska national guard. Governor Shallenberger schedules an April 12 hearing on charges against County Attorney F O McGirr, Mayor M L Rawlins, and Judge Frank E Crawford over alleged neglect enforcing liquor laws in Wymore and between Wymore and Blue Springs. The secretary of state sets new auto registration records, with 60 registrations in a day, 45 the day before, and 43 the day before that. Nebraska auto average price sits around 1500 dollars, implying a day’s total of about 9000. Farmers predominately buy cars, though some town residents mortgage homes for purchases.
