Anytime the counties think they
can build federal aid roads. meet

state. they can and often do bid for
the job and have gotten such jobs.
Then there is a row on here over
maintenance of the roads. Miller
claimed the county was obliged to
do reconstruction work which was
charged to its maintenance fund.
The state said it did not. Miller
claimed the state released the con-
tractors from the job before it was

State Charges Antagonism.
The state charged all the trouble

members of the department say, he

The state engineers spoke highly
of the board of supervisors who,
they believed, were willing to coop

Note Book Recovered.
Lincoln, April 18.-(Special.) y
Armed with search warrant, State
Sheriff Hyers today repaired to the
law office OF R. F. Stout, where he
met former Dean o. V. P. Stout,
upon whom the warrant was served.
Mr.. Stout at once turned over to
him the field note books on state
road project No. 20, which the state
department of public works has been
seeking to obtain possession Of for
some time.
George Leonard of the department
of public works Monday afternoon
made a demand on Mr.. Stout for the
note books, but the latter declined
to turn them over without an order.
The application was accordingly
made to the court and the warrant
issued and placed in the hands OF
the state sheriff.
Obtained From Marsh.
After the sheriff had taken his de-
parture, Mr. Stout said that the books
had been placed in his hands Thurs
day or Friday of last week by State
Auditor Marsh, who requested him
to take the notes and interpret them,
preparing himself to appear before
the committee. Mr.. Stout declined
to state what the notes disclosed, say
ing he would make his report to the
committee.
Mr.. Stout said that the statement
of State Engineer George Johnson
that he, Stout, was a personal enemy
of the secretary of the department of
public works, was news to him. He
said that he could not recall that he
had ever had any business relations
with Johnson, though he had met him
and had had few brief conversa-
tions with him. They had also had
some business correspondence, but
nothing of importance. There was
nothing, he said, that would warrant
the secretary in CHASING him as a |
personal enemy.

dinner of the society here. lie spoke of
his twenty-five years investigation of
the subject. and said he had never seen

dead.

duce a single effect which / could not,
through my knowledge of magic, account
for or duplicate" he asserted. II have
had nine pacts with the dead who while
alive agreed with me to try to communi-

been fruitless."

That history in this metropolis dates
