cial.)--In handicap wrestling match
in which Gil Zerrsen OF Genoa agreed
to throw Godfrey Drueppel Of ST.
Bernard, twice in an hour, ZeIrsen
lost the match, he threw Drueppel

worker. Drueppel put up stiff de-

STATE WILL SUE
LINCOLN COUNTY
Auditor Asks Attorney General
to Recover Money Due for
Care of Insane.
OTHER COUNTIES SETTLE

(From starr correspondent
Lincoln, March 4.-(Special)--
State Auditor Smith has asked Attor-
ney General Willis f. Reed to bring
suit against Lincoln county to collect
about $4,000 principal and interest
due on an old insane fund dating
back twenty to thirty years. The
action will be brought If the county
does not make some arrangements
for settlement Immediately.
Some fifteen counties originally
owed this money, and former State
Auditor Howard four years ago first
started to collect it. Auditor Smith
continued the work.
Some of the counties baked on the
payment, and the auditor brought
suit against Stanton and Gage coun-
ties in the supreme court, and the
counties lost, the court declaring
they were owing both interest and
principal. The interest was about
third more than the principal in each
case.
Lincoln county owes $1,000, besides
$1,000 or thereabouts in interest. The
state auditor is renting the interest
when the counties settle promptly. .
The money due is for the care OF

posed Senate Changes in
Interest of Bootleggers.
STRIKE VITAL FEATURES

Lincoln, March c4.-W. T. Thomp-
son, chairman Of the Nebraska Dry
Federation gave out the following
concerning proposed amendments to
the prohibitory bill today:
The fate of the prohibition so far
as the present legislature is con-
cerned is trembling in the balance.
This bill is now threatened with
something like a hundred proposed
amendments in the senate, nearly
every one of which is framed in the
interest of the liquor business in gen.
eral and the boot-legger in particular.
Not one of them is calculated to
make the law better, but each one to
make it worse.
Provisions of Amendments.
"These amendments if adopted
would:
81. Permit the manufacture of malt
liquors, outlawed by the amendment
". Permit the sale of malt liquors
likewise outlawed.
g. Allow the advertising of liquors,
thereby defeating the effect OF the
federal anti-advertising law.

ers until the last of May to dispose of
their Intoxicating liquors to pharm-
cists in the state and to others out
side the state.
IS. Allow boot-leggers to stock up
with booze between now and May
and keep it on hand after that time.
e. Denies the right to secure pri-
vate counsel to prosecute violators
of the act.
81. Deny the right of the county
attorneys to summon witnesses be-
fore him to enable him to discover
and prosecute violators of the act.
"8. Deny the right of others than
freeholders tos wear to complaints
for search warrants.
"9. Limit the right of search and
seizure.
10 Enlarge the right to sell in
toxicating liquors by allowing cor
porations and women to secure per-
mits therefor.

Intoxicating liquors by requiring only
a signed statement instead of sworn
affidavit.
"l2. Restrict the act with reference
to public nuisances.

to injunctions by providing that no

Lincoln, March 24.-(Special.) lice
in the Niobrara is endangering the
bridge and connecting roadway at
Bristow, Boyd county, according to a
report to State Engineer George E.
Johnson Saturday morning.
A jam of ice against the piers has
so damned the stream that the water
is seriously threatening to cut a new
channel around the bridge, the report
says.
Ice is going out of the Platte river
in good shape, the engineer says, but
the Loup river is liable to cause
trouble, particularly in the upper end.
The four state aid bridges over the
Niobrara west of Bristow are secure
and in no danger. These are built to
withstand ice gorges and attending
damage and are located at Lynch,

II Is hoped that this movement will

and effective as is the case with the
present contest.
Our home gardens are now pro-
dUcing delicious vegetables and our
vocational instructor is kept busy
after school each day In appraising
the produce harvested from each plot
OF ground, according to our contract
system. Unless these vegetables are
needed In the homes they are sold by
the pupils raising them and in some
cases the proceeds are used to start a
bank account. Our harvests have
grown TO such proportions that 1t has
become necessary to provide cart
TO facilitate the sale and distribution
of our produce We have purchased
the wheels and the axle at a black
smith shop and our boys viii do the
carpenter work We think that We
shall vastly improve our method of
peddling over cur present practise of
having the children carry the vege-
tables from house to house in their
arms.

liYcning the activities in all depart
