are peddling meat in the city at cut
rates, was testified to by W. A. Mourit-
pen, a butcher at the first day s ses
sion of the state price investigation
commission here. Mr. Mourtisen tes
tified that ha was selling half hogs at
8 rents a pound with the intention of
killing outside competition. When
this was done he said prices might go
up a quarter to a half cent a pound,
lie declared retailers could not com
pete with farmers and pointed out that
the town merchant is forced to take
sanitary precautions which the farm
ers do not have to observe. He said
he Could butcher his own stuff about a
cent cheaper than he could buy it from
the packers.

by shooting into the tires and gas

Says Governor Did Him Dirt.
LINCOLN Paul De Vere of Lin
coln, former jailer at the Lancaster
county jail, who, according to Los
Angeles dispatches, wrote asking Post
master P. P. O'Brien of that city to
auction him off in order that he may
support his children and restore his
wile's health, waa dismissed as jailer
at request of Governor McKelvie.
Since his dismissal, De Vere and
his wife and six children have been
destitute, and Mrs. De Vere is said
to be in need of medical attention.
De Vere admits that he made the
gtrange request.
De Vere was sent to Leavenworth
prison two years ago on a liquor
charge, but was soon paroled to
Lincoln Deocle.
Upon his return he was employed
as jailer. Later Governor S. R. McKel
vie wrote Sheriff Miller that he did not
believe De Vere should be employed at
the county Jail. De Vere was filling
his position satisfactorily, Sheriff
Miller said.
The association has voted to file
upon 180,000 acre feet of water and;
this application was filed with the de

This 180,000 acre feet composes all

Platte river during the six months
from October to April.
