DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OF.
FICE OVER TO WOMAN

Lincoln, Neb., May S.-Robert
w. Porter Of Alma has appealed
to the supreme court from the
mandamus issued by District
Judge Harry DUNCAN to compel
Porter to turn over to Miss Jean
Mckee the moneys and books be-
longing to the office of treasurer
Of the city of Alma.
Unless the court holds that she
has no right to the office or is
disqualified in holding it, Porter
will have to comply with the de-
mands Of the lower court.
The supreme court held several
months ago that another woman,
Gertrude Johnson, was qualified
to hold the office Of county SUI
perintendent in Cherry county.
Mrs. John N. Hubbard, who
was elected as city clerk Of AL
ma, will also have her qualifica-
tons passed upon in the same
case.

DIVIDING UP THE REWARD

Omaha, Neb., May 8.-The gov
eminent reward of $4,000 for the
capture Of the Union Pacific ban
dts has been divided between
six South Omaha boys who sur
rounded and captured part Of
tie gang. The holdup, which
was unusually daring, took place
May %, 1909, and five days later
six young men captured the
gang near the Bond Park school.
John Kroulik, the boy who
made the original discovery, is
only thirteen years of age, and
the others only a few years old
err. The $4,000 is split in six
parts among John Kroulik, Ru-
dolph Morowski, James Belek,
Frank Kudrna, John Kudrna and
John Belek. Their attorney, 7.
T. Farnsworth, is still contend
ing for a share Of the Union Pa

made by the federal court.

OF Inc lime.
Once upon a time a young
man who burned to discuss poll
ties rose in his college class and
made remarks.
you do not understand these
Matters" the professor told him.
You should wait until you have
gotten out into the world and
elarned something"
SO the young man waited, and
d few years later, teaching a
class in Sunday school, he I'M
loaded a few private opinions,
for which he was frowned upon
severely.
"You should instruct your
boys in the gospel" he was ad-
yised. "You should not drag
the sordid affairs of the world
into the church"
Next day he ventilated his
views in a gentelman's club.
"Hush," his friends warned
him, "There are men of the OPP
position here and you must be
careful of their feelings. They
come here to be Gained and re-
freshed, not to be excited and
angered."
Accordingly he held his peace
until evening, when he attended
d literary society and spoke his
mind. But his words were re-
ceived with establishment and in
dignation.
"Such abominable TASTE" his
hearers whispered, and they
pressed the executive committee
to remind him that the aim Of
the society was refinement.
After vain efforts in other di,
rections, the young man was con-
fined to talking politics whit his
fellow clerks at the noon hour.
for which, his offense coming to
the notice Of the firm, he was
bounced.
In perplexity he went to a
sage and said, "Sir, I am con
sumed with the ambition to talk
politics but everywhere 1 am re-
huked and discouraged. How
about it,"
"The place to talk politics is
the party convention" the sage
replied.
So the young man went to the
party convention and found that
the only persons permitted to
talk politics there were those re-
presenting the other side. After
listening to their utterances he
exclaimed:
"Now I understand why they
will not talk politics at any other
ing near Shelton, and Niels Mel
son of this city. On the part of
the defense it is claimed that the
case was once before brought up
and that attorneys hold the re-
ceipts of the husband Of the
plaintiff for $500 in settlement of
any claim that he might have
against them. They indicate that
the suit is merely a holdup
scheme and that if brought and
the plaintiffs appear in the juris-
diction of the loca lcourt charges
may be brought against the
plaintiff and husband.

Tom Berry's home just north
east of town was the scene Of
much excitement this afternoon
at about 2 O'Clock.
The children who were playing
cut in the barn suddenly came
in to the house and informed
Mrs. Berry that the barn was on
fire. Mrs. Berry hurriedly gave
the alarm, but it was evident that
the barn could not be saved as
the wind was exceedingly strong,
and in a very short time the
structure with all its contents
vas the prey of the raging
Flames. The barn contained hay
harness, young chickens and nu-
merous articles, and in trying to.
save some of these goods, Mrs.
Barry was slightly burned.
The cause of the fire could
not be ascertained up to this
time; but as the children were
playing in the building just be-
fore the fire started, suspicion
apparently points toward them.
Manager Forrester's Colts
romped home with the bacon
yesterday, taking the first game
from the York team of the Ne
hraska State League by the cor
of seven to three. The York
team is rated one of the fastest
in the state, having a long
string of victories to their credit
already this season, but they all
look alike to the Colts, who are
out for a record this season and
spank the ball on the nose when
ever runs 7 needed. A good
sized crowd attended, and the
receipts caused a smile to illu-
inmate the face of the team treas
urer. The weather was ideal, and
really made good baseball posi-
BE. Woods, for the Colts, pitch
ed a strong, heady game, and
seems to have about everything
necessary for a pitcher to have
in order TO qualify with the
Colts.
Manager Forester will have
some trouble in deciding on the
makeup of his team, if they all
show up as well as they did yes
terday. Maybe we can loan a
complete team to some Of the
other managers. They might do
a whole lot worse.
