about 5000. the county employees grew un-
easy yesterday and County Clerk Harry
G. Miller backed Chairman Hofeldt into a
corner to ma cut how the board proposes 10

amount h exhausted. The chairman stated
that he thought this appropriation sheet will
be the last on which general fund warrants
will be drawn and paid this year and that
the 3 1000 and what Is collected in old taxes
and on the Is per cent Of the present levy
will take care Of tie salaries. For the other
debts that will accumulate the county will
have to give warrants that viii pile up some
more Of che Z per cent interest accumulation

The board has just been confronted with

Republican, VIII Meet
September 20.

Chairman Goss OF the county central com.
mittee thinks 1t probable that the repubIi
can county convention win be on SATURDAY.
September 20, with the primaries the day
previous. Yesterday morning he said:
4 have no personal preference In dates
AND have not had expression from other
members Of the committee, but II lust oc-
curs to me in slancing over the calendar
hat as the usual desire seems to be for A
date late In September we viii have to
slip In before the Ak-sar-Ben festivities.
which are TO be on from September "a to
October Z. We co4ldn't very we'll have the
convention on any OF those ten days, and
particularly on the last Saturday, the 27th.
as that / believe Is the date OF President
Roosevelt's visit.
II do not, Of course, give this as a
formal announcement. as there can be
nothing authoritative until the COMMITTEES
has acted. but expect to cali Il together
at q date 80 early that should II decide
September 20 there will still be the
necessary twenty days elapsing between
the time Of the call and the primaries.
So far as ! know now. the committee win
be assembled Saturday. August 20.
Il have not been informed Of the plans
o. the congressional committee, but II. as
! infer, It is not favorable to the Crawford
system ! don't see why one convention
shouldn't do the nominating OF both tickets
and save the cost Of an additional primary
which is quite an item"

Young Man from Missouri Being

B. W. oist OF Craig. No.. formerly Of
Falls City Neb.,y complained to the police
Thursday morning that while intoxicated
the night before he had been robbed Of
a diamond ring valued At 500 and $40 In
cash. When Gist realised that he had been
robbed II was. q o'clock Thursday morn
Ing and he was - bed at the Midland hotel,
with his clothes still on. The register
showed that the room had been rented to
J. D. wiIlison.
Gist was still intoxicated when he COM
planned to the police and could not re-
member being out with anyone, but did re-
member that he had been to 1909 Cali
fornia street. Detectives Dummy and
Mitchell went to that address yesterday
and there recovered the ring and money
from A. schwenk. who informed them that
Gist had been to HIS room the night before
and that he had, taken the property
in order to keep Gist from being robbed.
He had then secured him a room at TIE
Midland hotel and paid for 1t. He did not
explain why. he registered Gist under an
assumed name. The property was returned
to Gist.
Gist recently received $4,000 from the
estate OF q relative and has been seeing the

AFTER REFEREE cow S SCALP
Commissioners ConnoIly DecIares war
on Clerk in Frank broad
Wells Omee.

II IL highly probable that when Frank
A. Broadwell, clerk OF the district court,
returns next week to his desk the drsi
Communication that viii confront him will
be one from the, Board OF County Commits
sioners recommending that he dispense
with the services Of Allen T.. Cow. Com
missioner Connolly said yesterday that
he and at least two other members we're
certain to vote to make such recommenda-
tion when the board meets Saturday.
Such action will Be the result Of Mr..
Cow having assigned to Attorney w. Fl.
DeFrance for q consideration his claim
against the county for t1.lso and Of De-
France having secured this week from
Judge Read q peremptory writ Of man
damus ordering the board to draw war;
rants for the amount. Chairman Hofeldt
says that he expects the warrants 20 be
that the case win be carried into the su-
preme court eventually.
The Cow claim is for services rendered
between June, 1900, and July, 1901, as
referee in the cid suits OF Frank H.. Moores
against the county. When the court rem
dered Judgment II ordered that Moores pay
Cow $500 n that the county pay him
(Gow) t1,4sO. After waiting a year for his
money Cow last month assigned the claim
against the county to DeFrance and De-
France immediately instituted proceedings
to collect. Moores had already paid what
was due from him.
Commissioner Connolly says. I'VE won't
stand for this, because the claim is un-
reasonable. When the matter of a referee
came up and Cow, who. wac imported from
Lincoln by Allyn Frank, then clerk Of the
court, was recommended, we called him
before the board and asked what the serv-
ice was likely to cost. He said that he
thought it wouldn't be more than $500. The
county attorney told us the same figure a.
his estimate. But when Gov presented
his bill II was $1,4S0. Ind when we asked
for particulars he said that the services
Of a Miss France. q stenographer. cost 5000
and that she needed the money. Two Of us
went to Miss France and she told us that
she had already received $3.50 and that she
expected TO be paid another $3.50 and that
$500 would be fair compensation for what
had done. Later. perhaps after Cow
had seen her. she talked to Us again and
said that she had been mistaken and that
$500 was the amount due her. All this time
Cow was drawing his 500. per month from
the county for his regular work, Now he
has forced the issue and we propose, TO get
his scalp and TO carry the case into the
court.

Florence Barker screamed and started to
run, when the man released the elder sis
ter and turned his attention to her. He
struck her several times in the face. black
ing both eyes and causing them to swell
almost shut. Her face was also badly
bruised.
BY this time several Of the residents Of

was Eugene Townsend.
On several occasions Townsend has at
tempted to force his attentions on the elder
Of the sisters, and as he had been repulsed

that Townsend had attempted to assault
several OF the girls OF their neighbOrhood.

as the sisters and pupils of the Cath
Ollie Convent, were present as body.
Mr.. Allencastre the father of the
young priest, and Consul A. de Svouza

tuary with all the priests and lay
brothers of the Mission. Prominent
Portuguese citizens and representa-
tives of all the Roman Catholic socie-
ties assisted at the ordination, as a
testimony of the honor conferred up
on their nationality in the person OF
the Rev. Father Stephen.
