REBEL At SOLDIERS HOME
insurrection That Won't be QueIled,
Breaks Out at Grand island.

Lincoln, July S.-An instruction
that won't be quelled has broken out
at the soldiers home at Grand Island.
The adjutant, Joe McGraw, COM
planned to the governor some days
ago that the commandant, Eli Barnes,
was trying to run his department as
we'll as the whole institution. The
commendant inginuated that Mr.. Nc.
Graw was entirely too officious and
gave himself the airs of boss of the
establishment. The governor went out
and after hearing told Adjutant Nc
Graw that he would have to sub.ide or
else get out. Mr.. McGraw has sub.
sided.
Inmates of the home, however, have
taken up McGraw's fight. and the
board of public lands and buildings is
in receipt Of several communications
to the effect that there has been some
sort of crooked dealing in connection
with the furnishing of supplies, the
letters Astounding in hot shots at dem
ocratic grafters," and the request that
the board institute an investigation.
The home has always been hotbed
of trouble, Some years ago the adju-
tant there made a complaint that there
were "nits" in the prunes furnished
under contract, and McGraw's COM
plants have been against the quality
of the stuff delivered under contracts.
