William J the past thirty years been the head of the state fish hatcheries at Gret na, has. according to reports from Lincoln, been scheduled for a down fall in view of a number of changes in the department of. which he has long been an important part. Inci dentally. Governor Bryan is cited to have ordered Mr. O'Brien to remove from South Bend to the residence at the state hatcheries at Gretna. A special dispatch from Lincoln to the Omaha Bee gives the follow ing account of the affair that threat ens to result in the .resignation or removal of the veteran fish expert: "The governor furthermore stated that in the future George G. Ros ter, state fish and game warden, would be directly in charge of state hatcheries, located at Benkleman, Valentine and Gretna. "In political circles it is believed that the governor's action in order ing O'Brien to use the bouse provid ed by the state for the hatchery su perintendent is a first step toward ousting O'Brien from his job. Entenbeck Wants Job For weeks it has been known here that friends of Gus Rutenbeck, chief state game warden under former Governor Morehead, were working quietly and insidiously to oust O Bri- en and get the appointment for Rut- enbeck.

O'Brien and his brother founded the state hatchery at Gretna. His brother is now in charge of the hatchfry at Valentine.
