Neal Parsons was just 22 years old. He had been a student at the Omaha High school and University of Omaha. In the fall of 194 he left the university to go | into business with his father. Late in 1914, while at Davenport, la., engaged in the construction of a large bullding, he fell sevén stories through an elevator shaft, on account the scaffolding on the top story giving away. Another man, who fell with him, was killed instantly. Al- though Neal was buried under several wagon loads of timber and brick and had suffered a fractured skull and severe bodily injuries, he miraculously escaped, notwithstanding the fact that he was unconsclous for nearly a week. He had almost completely recovered, except for his left arm, on which he had sustalned a fracture and wound which would not heal. Although several opera- tions were performed upon his arm, the wound remained open. His fall so badly had scared him that he decided to ive up contracting work, and, with his young friend, Clyde C. Randall, he moved to Sedro Woolley, Wash., last June, where they secured some land and engaged in raising vegetables. His parents recelved a letter from him during the early part of last week. It was very cheerful and apparently he seemed to enjoy good health, and was looking forward to raising a fine crop. Karly Saturday evening a wire came, stating Neal was in serious condition on account of blood polsoning and summon- ing his parents to come at once. - Mrs. Parsons hurriediy made prepara- tlens ‘and left at midnight, but before she reached’North Platte, word had been received at the home that Neal had passed away. It came as a most severe shock to all, as it was believed that 1 had nearly recovered from the Injuries he sustained by his fall a year and a half ago. 4 He s survived by Mr. and Mrs. Par- sons, Mrs. Alice Tedrow, Mrs. Marion L. de Winter and Misses Marjory and Dorothy Parsons. His body is being returned to Omaha, accompanied by his friend Randall, and it Is expected that burial will take place Wednesday or Thursday.

ARRIVE IN FINE CONDITION HEADQUARTERS OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES, COLONIA DUBLAN, Mex,, March 27.—(Wireless to Columbus, N. M.)—Brigadier General John J. Pershing commanding the American troops pursuing Villa today compli- mented the stamina and the spirit of the troops comprising the expedition- ary force. General Pershing made the statement in his headquarters tent— the tent over which have swept stinging dust storms, bitter sleet and burning winds, all of which the United States troops in the field have faced in rapid succession, { Some Long Marches. No similar body of any army would have arrived In better conditions under the circumstances, he saild. Tne service encountered by the command included some exceedingly long marches by the cavalry and wide stretches of desert covered by the infantry and artillery. The march of concentration at the first base is not believed here to have been equaled by any command of this size in recent years. And through it all' the morale of the troops has been excellent. The spirit of the command is shown by the eagerness which the men have manifested in pushing forward througn the heat of bare plateaus, the fury of Mexican dust storms and the bitter ¢old of mountalnous altitudes. : Part of Day's Work, The men seemed to feel that it was all a part of a day's work. General Pershing was asked to specify in detall some of the records set by American troops In the present expedition such as the twenty- seven-mile trek made in a single day through the desert by infantry companies under heavy equipment and the cavalry rides, the hardships of which are sald to have torn at the very souls of the troop- ers. But he shook his head, smiled a bit and replied: “No, I'd rather not.
