of certain waters of the Niobrara river
for power purposes, the point of di.
version being in Knox county. His
plan was to utilize this power for
Sioux city enterprises.
Some weeks later the state board
granted the right The grant was in
the usual form. but attached thereto
was this condition. This grant is
made subject to the provisions of sec.
ton ~ article >, of the Nebraska irri-
cation law, and power generated under
and by virtue OF the permit must not
be transmitted or used beyond the
confines of the state
AS this provision defeated MIR
Kinks plans, he appealed to the district
court of Knox county. There his po-
sition was not sustained, and he APP
pealcd to the supreme court. The sole
issue presented by his appeal was
whether the state board of irrigation
had the power or authority to insert
in a grant prohibition that the
power should not be transmitted over
the state line. He took the position
that while the state legislature has
the right to prescribe whatever condi-
ton it sees fit in matters like this,
the department of state, to which is
committed the authority and given the
duty of looking after irrigation mat
tiers, has no legal right to act other
than strictly within the conditions
prescribed by law.

couldn't secure enough hay last fall
to last through severe winter. Snow
falls came earlier than usual, and the
supply of hay was drawn on. Then
came the hard storms of last week,
and the ranges were buried under a

Judge Southland of Kansas City, who is
Judging the 600 fancy birds at the

The show here is better than the
average, and the orpington class is
exceptionally good. Some of these
birds here are worth a good deal of
money"
Ribbons were put on the winning
pens at noon Friday. The descend
ants of the famous hen Peggy took
the judges eye, and Supt. f. |. Custer,
who owns these birds, has a string of
twenty-seven prize ribbons on exhibit
ton on the pens which hold these
beautiful white orpingtons. These
ribbons were not displayed until after
Judge Southland had finished their

Judge Southland refuses to score

Third Suicide Ends the Case.

Woonsockot, S. d.. Jan. 5.-The
case against eX-Sheriff Plottner of
Mitchell, accused of adultery with
Mrs. Kate Quinn Of Mitchell which
was being tried in Woonsocket, came
to a tragic end yesterday afternoon
when the body of PlOttner was found
a mile and a half north of the city,
cold in death. Investigation showed
that he had committed suicide by TAX
ing laudanum.
Plottner had been missing since
Wednesday night at o'clock and
when court was called yesterday he
failed to put in an appearance. When
court convened in the afternoon Judge
Jones dismissed the jury and declared
the bond forfeited under which Plott-
ner had had his liberty throughout
the trial.
1t is believed Plottner thought he
would be convicted and preferred
death to a possible Jail sentence. The
death of Plottner marks the third
suicide which has arisen out of the
case. Two years ago, goaded by the
intimacy between his wife and Plott-
ner, who was then sheriff of Dawson
county, Albert Quinn drank carbolic
acid in the yard of his home.
Last summer, following a series of
troublous events in the Plottner
household as the result of the infatu-
alton of her husband for Mrs. Quinn,
Mrs. Plottner ended her life. 1t was
Immediately after her death that
Plottner and the woman left Mitchell
and they were subsequently arrested
| in Omaha.
The sudden ending OF the case
against Plottner by his suicide leaves
of the four interested people, only the
woman in the case. 1t is said the
aged father of Plottner, who is now
living in Mason City, Ia, has lost
most of his once ample fortune
through the trouble introduced by his
| son
