money, her eyesight in one eye may
be saved.

has been employed as servant in the
home of j. Baum. She has been send
ipp money back to her father, who
has eight other children and VINO
wants to buy a team of horses. A
cancer in one eye will probably de-
stroy that optic and the other eye has
become infected. The girl is without
money and unless generous Norfolk
people come to her assistance, she will
have to go back to her fathers home
stead. 1t is feared that she might
thus catch cold and lose both eyes.

Lincoln, Feb. 6.-Trial of the re-
.ccivership proceedings brought BY mi
nority stockholders against the St.
Joseph & Grand Island railway started
in the federal court here. The minor
ity stockholders assert that the pres
ent directorate of the road is con
trolled by the Union Pacific railroad.
An injunction is sought to prevent the
Union Pacific from voting stocks and
bonds of the st. Joseph & Grand Is
land for the benefit of the former
road. The control OF the smaller road
by the Union Pacific is alleged to be
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
act and the state laws of Kansas and
Nebraska, in that the roads are paral-
lei and competing lines. Samuel I'm
thermeyer of New York is the leading
counsel for the Grand Island road,
and Samuel LOOMS of Kansas City
