CHADR0N BUTCHERS SEND
UNIQUE MESSAGE TO ROAD

Nichols & Fisher conduct . meat market
out at chadron. To save the expense Of
slaughtering, they buy their meats at
the South Omaha packing houses. Being
shipped a long distance. there are times
when the shipments do not reach their
destination in the best Of order. On one
shipment Of mutton, they contend that
the meat was spoiled when 1t reached
them. They have filed claim with As
sistant General Freight Agent Griffin and
have accompanied the claim with the fol-
lowing:
May the Lord of love and the Lord
above look down on this leg Of mutton;
it was once sweet and fit to eat. but now
It's rottce."
General Freight Agent Griffin is some
thing Of a poet himself and the doggerel
has made such a favorable impression
upon him that he is inclined to recon-
mend fayorsbly for the Chadron butchers.

taken offense at the action OF the

Sullivan as special legal adviser in the
matter Of preceding to GUST Caldwell q
Drake, county building general contract
ors, for alleged delinquency. The county
attorney has refused TO sit with Judge
Sullivan or any other outside attorney
IN conference with the board. Mr.. English
has taken the action as 6 personal af-
'front.' a reflection upon his ability and
that Of his corps of assistants.
Such is the muddlsd sItusdou. 1t may
be cleared at today's meeting OF she
Board Of County Commissioners.
The custer conference, which had been
scheduled for Thursday afternoon. was
not held because Mr.. English was out OF
the city on official business. He has re.
turned and an effort at q conference
would have been made. but Mr.. Sullivan
was busy with a matter before the su-
preme court In Lincoln.
According TO one member of the Board
OF County Commissioners, who preferred
that his name be not used. Mr.. English
has taken a wrong view OF the boards
action
NO offense was intended" said the
board member. 'and our action should
not be taken by Mr.. English as a re-
Election upon him or anyone else. nor as
an indication OF lack OF confidence In
him or his deputies The proposed action
is one that probabsly would result In liti-
CATION, which might be extensive. Mr..
English retires the first of the year.
