Citizens Dislike Street Obstruction.
Councilmen Hendrix, Smith and Wallace,
the committee appointed by the city council
to investigate conditions at First avenue,

streets. where 1t was complained the thor
oughfare was INSTRUCTED by a big bank of
sand, cinders and buildings, visited the
place yesterday morning. They found the
conditions not as bad as represented to the
city council and that the banks OF sand
and cinders are not on the street and that
the buildings complained of are not so
placed to obstruct the passage of We
hicles. On their return the members OF
the committee stated they would recon-
mend that the city council take no action.
Presumably fearing that the city council
might not take any action in the matter,
residents Of that neighborhood who filed
the complaint went before the grand jury
and preferred a charge against the alleged
owners of the sand and cinders of obstruct-
ing a public highway, which is a criminal

western Dredging Company Turns 1t

western Dredging Company Turns 1t
over to Illinois Firm.
The report that the Western Dredging
company of Omaha had transferred its
contract for the construction of the Willow
creek and Boyer Cutoff drainage bitches
to a firm named Ballard g. Campbell, is
said by County Auditor Cheyne to be in
correct. AS suggested by the supervisors
of Harrison and Pottawattamie counties,
the Western Dredging company is said to
have assigned it's contract to Pollard &
Con, the Illinois firm which has the con-
tract for the Allen creek ditch.
At the recent joint session of the SUI
pervisors of the two counties as a drainage
board, the Western Dredging company
was given an opportunity to carry out its
contract and the time extended in which
to complete It on condition that 1t filed
forthwith" an additional bond in the sum
of $4,000, the company already being under
a $4,000 bond. This compromise was agreed
upon at the suggestion OF the Western
Dredging company, which at the time OBJ
jected to being compelled to assign its con-
tract to the Illinois firm. The objection. It
is understood, arose from the fact that
Pollard g. Con- were only willing to give
the Omaha firm 5000 for the assignment of
IT'S cohtIdct' No"' IL 10 uhuSLstOOu' me
Western Dredging company has secured
better terms from Pollard & Gpff and the
assignment of its contract to the Illinois
firm will come before the supervisors of
the two counties at the adjourned joint
session as a drainage board on May q for
approval and ratification. AS the super
visors were the first to suggest such an
assignment of the contract, the arrange
ment undoubtedly will be approved by
them.

Discipline for the Rabbit was worth
a whole lot to have seen BILLY" Cowgirl
Tuesday morning trying to catch a rabbit,
a "cottontail," which has been gnawing
bushes, shrubs etc, on his home premises
in West Holdrege Tuesday morning he
got his "eagle eye" on that cottontail, and
early in the morning he got out his gun
and took a shot at his rabbitship. He
mlssed-the rabbit did not move. He
tried the second time; same thing. He
tried the third time; the rabbit still re-
fused to kick the dust" He ran out OF
cartridges and called to Mrs. Cowgirl to
bring him some more, while he kept his
eye on the game. She brought them. He
crawled up a little closer, took deliberate
aim and pulled the trigger. Mrs. Cowgirl
and several spectators expected to see that
rabbit turn his toes to the daisies Aber
nit. 1t did not even bat an eye, and BILLY"
wasn't more than fifty feet from II. He
again called for more ammunition and
Mrs. Cowgirl went into the house and got
1t. He made the third charge on the
enemy, getting a little closer each time,
and still there was no dead rabbit, After
his last shot had been fired, "Brer Rabbit"
took a sneak and got away. Mr.. Cowgirl
insists that he only wanted to scare the
bunny" on the place and would not have
killed It for anything.-Holdrege Citizen.

Themselves Fit as a Fiddle.
The Men Will Enter the Ring
Weighing About $50 POu nds.
O'BRIENTHE FAYORITE
The Battle Is Set for Twenty
Rounds to Start With.
But if There Is No Decision the
Fight Will Continue.

Los Angeles, May ST can't lose I'M
less 1 break a Leg said Tommy Burns.
Il am fit and ready to take care of
Tommy Burns, no matter what course
of battle he intends to wage said Jack
O'Brien.
Those are the sentiments of the two
heavyweights who will meet tonight at
the Pacific Athletic club pavilion to
battle for the championship title. Both
announce themselves fit and ready and
if confidence would win a contest of
this kind there would be a pair of win
ners in the contest.
This promises to be one of the fights
of ring history. A victory means SO
much to either man that the efforts or
each to put the other down and out
will be almost SupeIhuman. Trained to
the finest point of physical perfection,
these men will match their skill and
strength for 20, and possibly 20, three
minute rounds. They have met in the
roped arena twice before and each
knows the others style of fighting.
They will enter the ring prepared to
take advantage of each others weak
nesses, and not only does. 1T give prom
Use of being a terrific battle, but
heady contest, as we'll.
The betting is unusually lively and
has again receded in favor of O'Brien,
several large commissions being placed
on Burns at 10 to 8 and 10 to u.
p Yesterday afternoon Tommy Burns
gave a public exhibition in the arena at
the fight pavilion, where he boxed fve
fast rounds in order to show his admir-
ers that his condition is at the best
Burns will weigh $50 pounds. O'Brien
is in fine fettIe and will weighs about
IT'S pounds.
If the battle is not decided at the end
of the 20 rounds it isc probable that the
men will fight several additional rounds
by mutual agreement. O'Brien and
Burns have declared themselves willing
to continue the bout for at least f1Ve
rounds in addition to the 20 prescribed
by the articles of agreement.
The only preliminary is between
Jimmy Irwin and Dick Murray, and the
main go is scheduled to begin at $3.50.
Bill Squires, the Australian champion,
will not be present as was originally
MANNED. Neither O'Brien nor Burns did
any work today except just enough to
prevent stiffness.
