Fight Imminent
Over New Normal
Burlington Attorney Planning to
Test Whether Location at
Chadron is Legal.

ALLIANCE, Neb., Feb. u.-(SpeciaL)-
Chadron is not going to get that new
normal school without fight Burlington
attorneys have been looking up the record
OF the boards action in locating the school
at Chadron and have also secured copies
of the opinion of the attorney general,
which was to the effect that the board
had the authority to locate the school at
a later date than was provided in the law.
Those attorneys have been to Lincoln
and have thoroughly gone over the records
of the Normal board and big fight will
be started to keep the school away from
Chadron, even IL Alliance does not get 1t.
The law provided that by certain date
propositions from the towns desiring the
school should file their propositions with
the Normal board and that by certain
date the school should be located. Inasmuch
as the law which created the new Normal
board was being contested in the courts
the school was not located within the
specified time and it is possible legal pro-
ceedings win be started to test the action
of the Normal board.

ment which will long be remembered b,
those who heard it. Her early demise has
caused profound grief here.
