George Carrell, the bulky county
.commissioner from Hemingford, is
feeling the strain of serving the
public and knows how it feels to have
1o ungrateful constituency. Ever

without examination, someone has
tieen camping on his trail and endeav
nring to make it unpleasant for him.
Mr. Carrell explained the way in
which the board happened to err about
the claim to everyone's satisfaction,
but down around Hemingford they are
keeping an eye on all his official acts,
and some of the boys are hunting for
things to crab about.
Half a dozen reports have been
passed along concerning Mr. Carrell.
The latest was to the effect he had the
grading gang make a road past his
farm, two and a half miles southeast
of Hemingford. Some of the com
plainants say that it is a private road,
and there have been the usual number
of sly digs about a commissioner using
public funds to improve his property.
The roai past the Carrell place is
.n a regular section line, and will
probably be graded for a distance of
several miles before the summer ends.
The trouble is that the road gang took
advantage of his absence from the
city, Mr. Carrell says, to slip one over
nn him and put him in bad. They
graded the road just up to his place
and a quarter of a mile past the gate
way, but alongside his land.
This is the way it happened, Mr.
Carrell savs. Several days ago he re
ceived a telegram to the effect that his
farm near Haigler had been hailed. He
was marking out work for a grading
gang during his absence, and had set
-out stakes along the track road just
southeast of Hemingford for a dis
tance of a counle miles. It was his in

Steams-Knight Auto Is
Almost Complete Loss In
Thursday Morning Blaze
On Thursday morning, while Charles
Nation, proprietor of an Alliance bar
ber shop, was driving south to the
ranch home of Burl Douglas, his
Steams-Knight touring car caught
fire and almost completely burned up.
The fire occurred at 5 a. m. about five
miles south of Alliance.
Mr. Nation attributes the fire to
some short vircu't of the electrical
apparatus of the car. The blaze made
short work of the car. All the wood
work in the body of the car was burned
from the chassis, as well as the rear
tires. The front tires, however, were
u " r;; i o I not apparently injured, nor were the

large tank of gasoline in the rear
burned up, but did not explode.
The car was insured for $2,.'500.
which is $650 less than the original
cost of the machine. The charred
chassis has been taken to Lee Stur
geon's garage and will there await the
arriva of the insurance adjuster.

The tale became twisted as it went
about, unt il some of the rumors had it
that the road fund alone was in the
hole to the extentof $:.0,000, and that
the other funds were in a bad condi
tion. The commissioners, who have been
in session since Tuesday, weren't at all
excited when they were told of the re
ports. They didn't have to be excited,
for there is nothing to them. Com
missioner George W. Duncan admitted
being responsible for the starting of
the rumor, although he didn't have any
intention of making himself and the
other members of the board the goats.
When the board started examining,
claims Wednesday morning, Mr. Dun
can no'od that there were a number
of them nn file, on in a moment of
curiosity he took the bunch out to the
isddng machine in the county clerk's
office and totaled them. The total
came to something near $.10,000. He
mentioned the fact to a friend that
the unpaid claims amounted to that
figure. The friend misunderstood him.
That's the way the rejiort started.
The truth is that Box Butte county's
finances aren't in a very bad condition.
In fact, they are in no worse shape
now than they usually are at this time
of the year. Along from May to Sep
tember 1, the board usually finds its
funds running low, due to the fact that
a large number of taxpayers neglect
to pay their taxes, lhey are paying
10 per cent a year on these delinquent
taxes, but they figure they might as
, well pay interest to the county as to
'anyone else, and so they procrastinate.
Along about November 1, when the
next year's taxes are due, they get

crease, although it will bring in less
than $2."00 more than last year.

for the county of $15,27 1.N.Vl, the

in Special Car for the
Colo. Springs Roundup
Those who were in the Burlington
station around noon Thursday were
icated to a sight of twenty-five or
n ote Indians, in full costume, standing
around imitating those well known
cigar store signs. Their ferocious
oks struck terror to the hearts of
some or the eastern visitors waitinir
for trains, but worried none of the
esidents a bit. They were a bunch
from the Pine Ridge reservation, wait-
ng for a special car to be attached to
the Denver train to take them on their
way to Colorado Springs, where they
will take part in the roundup Monday,
1 uesday and Wednesday of next week.
Die Indians have a social program of
war dances and other exhibitions that
they will put on during the exhibition.
Colorado Springs is advertising the
roundup pretty extensively as the big
gest thing of the kind in the country
this year. The prizes are said to ag
gregate between $X,000 and $ 10,000.
The show is to be staged under the
lirection of C. B. Irwin, well known in
Alliance. Among the special attrac
tions is an automobile race to the top
of I ike s x-ak, as well as an aero
plane race.

loaded just in time. He mentioned

on the levy lasted the better part of
the day. .Kvery item was pared to

over the indebtedness fund, intende
to cover unpaid claims dating prior to

claims was placed at .;" of a mill,
which woubl have raised (7,G.T7.4, but
it was discovered that the indebtedness
aside from the court house bonds,
would not require that amount. The
commissioners called in City Manager

them to provide for the payment of
the rounty'ii paving assessments,
pointing out to them that if unpaid, in

assessment out of the road fund. An
other new wrinkle this year i the
mother's pension fund, no levy for
which was made lat year. Aside
from these two items, the levy while a
trifle larger than la:-t year, will bring
in even less money.

The estimate as to the amount of

made bv County Judge Tash. There
are two pensions allowed, one to Mrs.
Selden W. Ives for $50 a month, and
another to Mrs. Margaret Fuller of
$30. Both of these, even if continued
for a year, would amount to less
than a thousand dollars, and the
judge thought that, judging from past
history, the levy was sufficient.
This year the county will receive all

Several automobile loads of Alliunc
gooil roads boosters left this morninig
for Bridgeport, and these were follow
ed on the afternoon train by another
delegation. To Alliance boosters mm
attending the meeting of the North
Star highway association called for
:i:;:0 this afternoon, by President J. S.
Rhein of this city.
The Bridgeport meeting was ar
ranged at a meeting held on Friday
of last week at Sidny, at which tim
the Nrth Star highway association,
was organized for western Nebraska.
The North Star is a rival of the Gulf-Plains-Canadian
highway, and origi
nated in Colorado, where rival boost
ers for two different routes through
Colorado split and formed two organ
izations. An attempt has been madtt
to carry the fight into Nebraska, and
if the Alliance people have anything
to say about it, there will be nothing
doing.
The stumbling block is Morrill
county, where the three commission
ers, each from a different town, favors
a route tluough their town and re
fuses to take any other noith and
south road. For two years or more.
Alliance attempted to get a highway
built through Morrill county which .
will connect with one from Alliance
and allow this city a good road to the
Lincoln highway. The Commissioners
won't get together and no compromise
has ever been suggested that coubLi
get the approval of two of them.
The north and south transcontinen
tal highway has made this old dead
lock of supreme importance. On both
Fides of Morrill county, the territory is
01 ganized, and the towns are ready to
go. But they cannot go unless Morrill
countv will designate at least one road.
The commissioners and people of th
county are divided over the matter ot
which road. Alliance doesn t really
care about it, so long as a reasonably
direct route-1 approved. .,
Broadwater on the G-P-C route.
favors approving a road that goes via
Oshkosh, Lisco, Broadwater and Alli
ance. Sidney, in Cheyenne county,
has taken up with the North Star
highway people, and has stirred up
Bridgeport to join witn tnem ami
make a road north and south via Sid
ney, Chapped, I-odgepole, Bridgeport
and Alliance. The deadlock was bad
enough in the old days, but with a lo
cation on a transcontinental highway
at stake, the situation is tenser than
ever.
Last week the Alliance good roads
boosters attended meetings at both
Broadwater and Sidney. Broadwater
wanted the support of thia city for
the G-P-C highway, and elected J. S.
Khein vice president of the highway
for this county. Sidney wanted Alii
ance to back the Bridgeport loute ft
the North Star highway, and elected
Rhein president of their association.
After an hour's argument he convin
ced them that the Morrill commis
sioners were the kingpins in the situa
tion and that unless the deadlock could
be broken, everything would be at a.
standstill.
Today the Alliance men are endeav
oring to get the Morrill county com
missioners and factions to agree to a
settlement of their differences and
unite on some route. Several com
promises will !) suggested to them, in
the hope that one of them will prov
acceptable. If they simply can't gt
together, the aid of State Engineer
Johnson will be requested. The Alli
ance people feel that the transcontin
ental hignway is more important than
any one town's claims along the route,
and the trouble in Morrill county is
holding up the road.
Thursday noon the Lions club of this
city discussed highway problems, and
as a result of their discussion a pub
lic meeting was held at the armory, in
which the sentiment of the citizens
was discovered. A number of th
fifty or more men who attended wer
in favor of one particular route, dui
each of them final'y agreed that the
important thing at this juncture is t
have one route selected and approved.
The good roads delegation, accom
panied by a number of cars from
Broadwater, went to Chadron Wednes
day, where an organization meeetinjf
for the G-P-C highway was held. Th
meeting was also attended by dele-.
gates from South Dakota, who hav
called a meeting for Deadwood on
August 26. The Fall river county dele
gation from South Dakota endorsed
the G-P-C association and affiliated
