BOND MEN GET COLD FEET
NORFOLK SCHOOL BONDS FOR
$4,000 RETURNED,
PROBLEM is NOT VET SETTLED

The Board Of Education Received
Word More Than a Week Ago That
the Chicago Bond Buying Firm Had
Decided to Accept Bonds.
The Norfolk board of education has
the $4,000 high school bond issue
back on Its hands again. The Chica-
go firm of Trowbridgo, Niver ~ Co..
which bid In the bonds at four and a
half percent at a premium of $3ll,
has notified the board that the bonds
will not be taken up by the company.
The various bids submitted by the
several bidders for the bonds last
spring provided that the bonds must
be approved by the bidders attorney
The Chicago company takes advantage
of this provision in withdrawing its
bid The history of the school bonds
was approved by the state auditor and
the position taken by the Chicago
company in the matter is declared by
members of the board to be a mere
subterfuge.
Trowbridge, Niver & Co.'S offer for
the high school bonds was accepted by
the board on May 6. A few days later
a certified check for $1,000 was filed
with the board. After many weeks
had elapsed and no word came from
Chicago the board wrote to the bond
firm asking for action on the bond
purchase. In reply the Chicago firm
backed away from the transaction.
The next best bid received by the
board last May on four and half per
cent bonds was the SOL premium of
fered by Mason, Lewis &; Co. of Chi
cago. This company has written to
the board that it would not duplicate
its offer of last May because of chang
es in the condition of the general bond
market
The Norfolk board of education held
a special meeting Saturday evening in
the Office of President Viele. No ac-
ton was taken at the meeting in re.
gard to the bond muddle. Members
of the board are having the general
condition of the bond market investi-
gated before taking further action to-
wards disposing of the bond issue au-
thorized at last Aprils election.

BARNES BRINGS
SUIT FOR LIBEL
WILL ARREST EDITOR GEORGE A.
MILES OF o'NElLL.
UNDER CRIMINAL LIBEL LAW
FOR STATEMENTS MADE IN HOLT
COUNTY INDEPENDENT.
UNDER CRIMINAL LIBEL LAW
MUST NOW PROVE HIS CHARGES
Supreme Judge J. B. Barnes of Nor
folk Authorized His Attorney, Burt
Mapes, to Commence Action Against
O'NeiIl Newspaper Man.

Supreme Judge j. B. Barnes of Nor
folk, justice of the Nebraska supreme
court, has authorized his attorney,
Burt Mapes of this city, to commence
action against George A. Miles, editor
of the Holt County Independent of
O'Neill, for criminal libel.
Basis for the suit is found in an ar
ticle which appeared in the Indepen-
dent last week in which vicious and
libellous charges are made against the
supreme Judge The charges are so
criminal and terrible that Judge
Barnes and his friends will give the
O'Neill editor an opportunity to pro-
duce the proof of his story or face a
term in the penitentiary.
This action was authorized by Judge
Barnes after he had consulted with
friends in Norfolk and other parts of
the state who declare that there is not
a particle of truth in the charges made
by the O'Neill paper against Judge
Barnes and say that upon his failure
to produce evidence in support Of
false statements, it may go badly
with the Holt county newspaper man.
Judge Barnes left on the early train
for Lincoln to attend a session of the
supreme court. His decision to prose-
cute Editor Miles was reached late
last night, after he had consulted with
his friends here.
Some in Norfolk May Get Stune.
Along with the determination to
prosecute the Holt county editor on a
charge of criminal libel, Judge Barnes
determined also to give number of
local scandalmongers who have been
retailing stories concerning him on the
streets, an opportunity to prove their
statements in court.
1t will probably be found before they
get through that those persons and
newspapers who have been busying
themselves with the affairs of Judge
Barnes will be taught a severe lesson
as the judge is determined that those
who have been slandering him shall
either prove their assertions or suffer
the consequences.

A MIRACULOUS ACCIDENT
PIERCE BOY WHIPPED AROUND
BY REVOLVING CHURN.
DEATH NARROWLY AVERTED
Ralph Green Was Holding His Hand
in the Inside of a Churn When a
Screw Head Caught His Ring and
Picked Him Off the Floor.

Pierce, Ncb., July Especial to The
News: A most peculiar accident and
one that nearly cost a life occurred
here at the William Bechtcr creamery
in the east part of town. Reese Lewis,
who has charge Of the extensive plant
had the machinery in motion with the
large churn, which is about twelve
feet in diameter revolving at a rapid
rate of speed when Ralph Green, a
sevcntecn-year-old boy, was letting his
hands lay against the moving churn.
A screw that had become slightly
loosened caught its head in the ring
on one Of the boys fingers and in
stantly the boy was hurled over the
churn and had it not been for the
quick action Of Mr.. Lewis the boy
would have been dragged to death,
but by heroic efforts the boy was lOos-
ened from the revolving machinery
and dropped to the floor with only a
sprained ankle and a severe shaking
up and a lacerated finger.
1t is almost miraculous that a per
son of such weight could be so sud
denly hurled about by one finger with
so slight injuries. The ring was
stretched to almost twice its original
size.

A Way Out OF BedIam.

The Hon. JOHN A. JOHNSON, Democrat,
twice elected Governor Of the Republican
State Of Minnesota, does not bow down
to the strange gods before whom 80 many
Democratic leaders PROSTATE them
selves in the dirt. He believes that re-
vision of the tariff should be made the
paramount plank in the Democratic
platform He says sensibly and without
exaggeration that such a plank ought to
be popular that everybody in the North
west wants revision; that reciprocal
trade relations with Canada ought to be
established and that the West is tired Of
being MIXED for the benefit OF Eastern
industries.
Since each party seems inclined to out
bid the other TO fatten Federal power
and starve the Constitution il is prob
ably hopeless to expect that the return
of constitutional government will be an
issue. A proposal for a revival Of Demo-
cratic tariff reform is at least in the line
of common sense. When stiff neched
old Assyrian hunkers like JOE CANNON
come to admit that the tariff is suscep-
tible of improvement and is not a flaw
less and inspired whole there must be clear
proof Of a popular desire for tariff revi-
sion. At any rate the Western farmers
have discovered that a high protective
tariff is not a heaven born "a Of get
ting rich without iniuring anybody but
the accursed foreigners.
While the corridors Of Bedlam ring
with the initiative and referendum and
Government ownership Of railroads Gov
ernor JoHNsoN's proposal Of a vital
economic issue will take old fashioned
Democrats back to TILDEN, to CLEvE-
LAND, to the days OF Democratic sanity
and success.

II the Governor Would Please.

Nothing would fit the plans and ambi-
tions Of the statesmen who lead the vari-
Gus factions of the Republican party in
New York State better than to have
Governor HUGHES entangle himself in the
reapportionment snarl. 1t would please
all his enemies to have him pronounce
for or against the WADswoRTHs, RA1NEs,
WOODRUFF, FULLY, PARSONS or any one
else. Were he to do so he would lay him
self open to successful attack andlose in
stanteF the advantages his attitude Of dis
interested impartiaiity has won for him.
Almost disappointing man, this HUGHES;
he lacks vfndictlveness, he refuses to mire
himself, he allows himself TO be put under
no obligations. He is so contemplate as
to mind his own business and let other
people attend to theirs. As the Governor
of the State he acts as il his first duty
was to the State and not to one or two
citizens. There is not on record a single
case in which he has acted maliciously
or from hope Of future reward. How
can TIMOTHY WOODRUFF love such a
spiritless creature?
We warn the Governor that his ous
will not please WOODRUFF or WADs-
WORTH or RAINEs or PARSONS. If he
wants their appreciation he must alter
his methods, reverse his system and
reform his conduct generally.
