The suit in which Florence N

The suit in which Florence M.
Wood appears as plaintiff again
st the boards of supervisors and
auditors of Harrison and Mon
ona counties has been revived
and the petition in the action
filed with the clerk OF the
courts. In addition to the
officials of the two counties
mentioned as defendants, the
FeTris-Kissel Company, the
canal construction company
and F. M. Crane are mentioned.
This action has a similarity to
the one which was started in
the district courts sometime
ago, and is in connection with
the drainage districts in the
two counties. The plaintiff
asks that the counties be re
strained from continuing any
work in that district. That
they be enjoined from issuing
any bonds or certificates
against the lands in that dis
trict and further asks that the
contracts let to the F'erris-Kis-
sci company, the Canal Con
struction company, and r. M
Crane be adjudged fraudulent
and void. In this connection
lit is noted that the petition
states that the bids submitted
by w. A. Smith are more just
land the lowest and if the con
tracts were let they should g
to Mr.. Smith. Logan Observer

Surprise Party

About forty young people
gave Ray Beckley a surprise
party at his home east of town.
The young people arrived about
$50 and when Ray came home
he was surely surprised. He
soon recovered from the shock
and the evening was spent in
games and music. He was
presented with a set of military
brushes. During the evening
cards on which were written
questions were distributed.
Percy Daniels answered the
most questions and received a
box of bonbons as a prize. Har-
ry Tracy received the second
prize. A delicious supper was
served by Miss Grace Beckley,
Miss Stella Cook and Hugh
Cook.

Says LASER Is vnsratcful

Sioux City journal: Jerry
Anderson, a popular conductor
on the Illinois Central railroad,
picked up in his train a pocket
book containing 1856, owned
by a wealthy woman of Rem
sen. AS soon as he could
learn the name of the owner
he sent the pocketbook to her
by express. The express char
ges were 40 cents per 81, 900. A
story from Storm Lake. from
which place the money was re-
turned, is that the woman rath-
err objected to paying the ex-
press charges, saying she did
not think the railroad should
cherge for anything lost in its
cars. She did not reward the
finder, and Mr.. Anderson said
he had not been thanked yet,
but he was used to that.

Blowing wells, sometimes
known as breathing wells, are
now being investigated by the
United States Geological Sur
vey. The best known examples
of this type of we'll are found
throughout Nebraska. The
force of the air current in one
of the Louisiana wells is suffi-
Gent to keep a mans hat sus-
pended above it. The cause of
such phenomena is mainly due
ito changes in atmospheric
pressure.
