NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Aug. 24-(spe-

in North Platte was held today, and the
town is elated at the result. The city voted
ia for to 14S against for a 100000 bond
issue TO build its own water power plant
The campaign began twenty days ago
with the exposure by Editor Kelly Of the
attempt to buy the influence of his paper
and the sensational receipt and agreement
passing between Kelly and the attorney
for the water works company, The law
requires two votes out Of three, but there
were five votes out OF six. The franchise
Of the American Water Works company
expired two years ago and all negotiations
to purchase the plant failed because the
water works company refused to accept a
cent less than the appraised price OF $S5, 900,
although city officials tried to settle the
matter without voting bonds for a new
plant.
