IN THE FIRE DISTRICT Lincoln, Sept. 13. A distinct split between Holt county residents over the completion of two highways pro jects was unfolded here Friday when a delegation from Atkinson called upon Governor Weaver. The visit, R. J. Kelly explained, was the aftermath of a secret mission here several days ago by a group of O'Neill citizens. The latter group was described Friday as a "political front." Atkinson, it seems, wants high way No. 54 from that place to Bur well completed, while O'Neill citizens demand work on No. 13 from O'Neill to Bartlett. Charge "Manipulation." And to accomplish their purpose the Atkinson delegation charged Fri day, the rivals went "over the head of Engineer Cochran" and called upon Governor Weaver for aid. This move was made, Kelly ex plained, after it was learned in O'Neill that Cochran was preparing to ask bids for more work on the Atkinson favored project. By "manipulation," the irate At 'kinsonites averred, the Holt county board prepared a resolution declar ing no money should be spent on eith er highway until No. 13 is complet ed. While the entire Holt county board signed the edict, H. L. James, repre senting the Atkinson district on the board, later rescinded his action and became a member of the visiting pro testers Friday. The O'Neill project, it i3 held by the opposition faction, "leads off into nowhere," while their road to Bur well connects with several favorable routes in all directions. Call on Cochran. Attitude of the O'Neill faction, the delegation alleges, is in violation of a "gentlemen's agreement of 1923" between Cochran and the Holt coun ty board, by which No. 54 wa3 to be Improved as soon as work was let on No. 13. The O'Neill "political front." the Atkinson delegation declared, wa3 composed of leading republican work ers of Holt county, the central com mission chairman, district judge and county attorney. The Atkinson crowd of 50 was led by J. J. Stilson, mayor, and Frank J. Brady, former Izaak Walton league president. Though the governor was not here to meet them, the delegation met with Engineer Cochran and will see the former at Niobrara next week, they said. Until then, the situation remains in status quo.

WILL STAGE BOXING BOUT The hot weather' having appar ently taken flight, or at least the more Intense summery weather, the Eagles lodge of this city is to revive their boxing program and plan an other great card for on or near Sep tember 2Sth. This will be very pleasing news to the fistic fans of this section as the two previous cards that were ar ranged by the Eagles were as fast and furious as could be wished for and gave the patrons a real treat for their money. The card is not arranged as yet altho the committee have a good string of fighters in line that will probably be matched up for the box ing carnival and among these will be Joe Roper, who showed so .well on the two previous cards. George Schmader has suffered from an injured hand for the greater part of the time since his last bout and probably will be unable to partici pate In this card.
