GRADE DAMAGE SUIT IN
SARP.Y ATTRACTS NOTICE

PAPILLIoN, Neb.s March 15.-(Speciah)
District court closed last night TO con-
yene again in May. Several important
cases we're disposed of. one OF which
among the civil actions that attracted
special attention was the case of Wink.
Ter against sarpy county for 500 damage
10 his residence property by reason of
the grading Of the county road In front
Of his property. winkler had built his
residence in low place twelve feet from
the county road. about two feet below
the grade already made by the county.
When the county raised this grade -four
feet additional It made his property APP
pear much lower and the grade shut out
his view. The jury allowed winkler $40
damages.
The county has done a great deal of
grading lately from the inheritance tax
received and the question the people are
asking now is. viii the county now be
liable to property owners along such
graded roads for damages for the cuts
and fills adjacent to their farms?

IS BALLARD 70

RUMORED THAT THE ASSISTANT
WATER SUPERINTENDENT
WILL GO.
MAYOR Denies THE RUMOR
Believed "A Conclusion Was Reached
At a Secret Caucus Held
Yesterday.

That a secret caucus Of the city
commissioners was held yesterday
morning and that 1t was practically
decided to dispense with the services
Of Assistant Water Superintendent
Ballard. was the persistent rumor that
floated from the city hall yesterday
and took wings in its journey about
the city.
1t was reported that decision was
| reached that Ballard should be fired
officially at next Tuesdays meeting Of
the city commissioners.
Mayor Frank M. Wooden, when
asked last night, concerning the truth
of the report, said:
The only conference the commits
sioners have had today was at the
regular open session this morning. We
have not discussed in any way what
soever the matter Of letting Ballard
or any other official of the water
department go. Ballard is now work.

is not assistant superintendent of the

been fired by Commissioner Connee-

Commissioner Comedy was reach

rumor.
Nothing has been done in the Bal

this line. He is still assistant super

resolution was hopelessly lost.
Since that time the politicians have
been saying that Charlie Comedy
was going to have revenge. They have
been quoted as stating that IL Bal
lard was not disposed Of, Conneely
would make public certain things that
would be distasteful to the remaining
commissioners. Hence the report Of
the alleged secret caucus yesterday.
II will be interesting to note wheth-

Ell PASO, Texas. Sept. 6.--Entrance
of Mexican rebels into the United
States and the subsequent engNye-
ment with United States troops below
Hachita, n. NJ, as reported today to
General T.. u. Steever. at Fort Bliss.
ToXas, marks the sixth invasion OF
American soil In the last few weeks.
II Is probable that the border pat
rol along the Sonora line will be
strengthened, say officials at Fort
Bliss, from where General SteeVer
commands the department OF Texas,
as well as the Arizona and New Mex
leo border adjacent. At Prescott,
there are only three troops of the
Third cavalry near Hachita, where a
number of invasions by rebels have
occurred recently.
Although no one was injured In the
brush today, the incident is deemed
OF more than passing Importance. IL
Is asserted that the rebel chief, Sal
zaar, operating below the New Mex
lean border, is intent on causing In
ternational complications coincident
with the disarmament of American
settlers in the state of Chihuahua.
Since the invasion of Sonora by
rebels Salazar has made many incen-
diary speeches and has issued proc
lamation against Americans. according
to advices received by military author
tiles here. 1t is believed the rebels
know the dividing line between New
Mexico and the Mexican state of So
nora and that the expedition on
American soil, as reported today, was
merely made to antagonize the Unit
ed States troops stationed along the
border The rebels are in great need
of ammunition.
In view of the critical condition.
General Steever tonight dispatched ad-
ditional tpoops of the Third cavalry
to that point. A portion OF the signal
corps, which will arrive tomorrow
from Fort Russell, Wyo., also will be
sent.
Additional information is that 200
rebels are encampd half a mile from
the line with the avowed Intentions
Of making another raid into the Unit
ed States. There are only five troops
Of United States cavalry on duty on
the New Mexican border, three Of
them in the vicinity of Hachita.
