BOARD TO FORCE WATER DEAL
Will Demand that Company Accept
Proffer Of Purchase.
IGNORE WOODBURY. REFUSAL
Action of President In Reference 10
Proposition to Take Plant ana
secure LitiEatcd sum Not
Sianiflcant.

The Water board OF Omaha will attempt
TO force the Omaha Water company to ac-
cept its offer to pay the amount OF the
appraisement and pun up sufficient bonds
to cover pending litigation according to
announcement made yesterday afternoon
at the meeting of the board.
Despite the refusal OF Theodore c. Wood
bury, president OF the water company. to
accept the offer made recently members
OF the Water board believe that they can
win their point in The courts The Water
board offered to pay the appraised price
Of the water pant and to deposit bonds to
cover the litigation over interest President
Woodbury. refused to accept the offer on
the grounds that It was a partial payment.
To consummate their plan members of
the Water board propose to submit a
proposition to the citizens Of Omaha to
vote an Issue of bonds aggregating SS,25OOOo.
The remainder is to be used to make i'm
provements deemed imperative.
we believe II is for the courts and not
the water company to say whether our
offer should be accepted" said r. r.
Howell Of the Water board. THE refusal
of President Woodbury. to accept our offer
will in no wise influence US nor chanEe
our plans We will submit the bond uues-
ton to the people early in June In the
event that the bonds are voted, We will
make tender Of the appraisement price
and offer to deposit money 20 cover the
litigation now pending with the court. II
the court decides that the water company
does not have to accept our offer, we will
feel that we have done all we can. Then
we will do what we can to settle the diff
ferences along other lines "

Young McKecknie Missing.

Robert l.. McKecknie, son Of Squire
James McKecknie of the Hubble sec
ton has been missing from his home
on third avenue in Louisville, Ky.
since May 7th., and to date no trace as
to his whereabouts have been found, al
though detectives have been trying
hard to locate him.
When last heard of, he was at his
boarding house on third street on Sun
day afternoon and had been driving
his auto. And after returning from
one of the parks in Louisville started
to the post office to mail a letter to
his wife who was in Moreland, KY.
visiting her Father, EIr ). !. Ham
mond. Young Mckecknies wife was
formerly Miss Flonnie Hammond who
attended school here for a number of
years and who is well known in Lam
caster. Young McKecknie was in the
insurance business in Louisville and
had good position with the Common
wealth's Life Insurance Co. He was
model young man and stood well
with his company. The day before he
disappeared he drew $298. 90 from one
of the Louisville banks, and told his
wife in conversation with her over the
phone that he had so done and that the
reason he did so was because he was
going to deposit it in another bank.
His business at the insurance office
was in good condition and his employ
ers and every one else are unable to
account for his disappearance and it is
the opinion of many that he has met
with foul play. The Father of the
young man was preparing to leave
Thursday for the old country but will
postpone the trip until his son is loca-
ted or his whereabouts are acertained.
