Holt County
is Split Over
Road Projec
Atkinson Fights for Completion of
No. 54 as O'Neill Demands
Work on No. 13.
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board, later rescinded his action and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. Omaha Bee-News.
The report of the near approach
of the forest fires to the town of
Ukiah, California, has caused the
members of the Robertson family in
this city to keep close touch with
the situation there as Mrs. Jessie
McKinley of that place, is a sister
of James 51. Robertson and Mr. Rob
ertson is now in the west for a visit
with the sister and at other points
in the golden state. While visiting
with I.tr aunt some seven years ago
Miss Jessie Robertson had the ex
perience of having the fires approach
very close to Ukiah while she was
there and which caused a great deal
of alarm in that city.

Alliance, Neb., Sept. 13. Mrs

Jail here in connection with an al
leged plot to extort money from Mr.
and Mrs. Kauffold, and on a charge of
carrying concealed weapons.
A week ago Mrs. Kauffold told of
ficers that Starr's alleged confeder
ate, wearing an army uniform, called
at the ranch while her husband was
.working' in the field and demanded
-two hundred dollars for the return
of letters purported from her missing
niece, Miss Fannie Eickers of Peoria,
111. She refused to comply with the
demand and he left, she said.
Today, the man returned to the
ranch and threatened, Mrs. Kauffold
reported, and she fired a shot at him,
hitting him in the heel. He wrapped
a handkerchief around his foot and
fled to his auto, losing the blood
stained handkerchief which Mrs.
Kauffold exhibited to sheriffs today.
The man had made several visits
to the Kauffold ranch previously. On
September 4, Mrs. Kauffold, with a
butcher knife, drove him away. Two
nights before, her home had been
broken into and the letters disappear
ed. Starr had been arrested after a de- !
mand for five hundred dollars had
been made upon the Kauffolds for
release of the niece, allegedly held
by kidnapers. World-Herald.

SHOWING IMPROVEMENT
From Saturday's Dally
The many friends of Joseph Sch
leBsl, one of the well known resi
dents of thi3 city will be very much
pleased to learn that he is doing
very nicely at the Clark3on hospital
at Omaha where he has been for
the past ten days. Mr. Schlessl has
been operated on for the removal of
a growth from his lip. It is expected
that he will be able to Teturn home
the coming: week.
One of the leading vocalists of this
city is Frank A. Cloidt. well known
tenor soloist and who is very much
pleased with the organization here
of the choral union, which has been
started under the direction of Mr.
Logan of Omaha, one of the best
known directors of musical work in
Omaha.
Tbe choral union has as one of its
objectives the presentation of Han
dal's great oratorio, "The Messiah"
in Omaha sometime near the Christ
mas season and in which it is hoped
to have a chorus of some 1,000 voices
gathered from the cities of Platts
mouth, Council Bluffs, Missouri Val
ley. Omaha and Fremont.
"This movement is one of the most
Important in the musical lines that
has been offered In thi3 city," Mr.
Cloidt stated this morning, "the
cost of the membership in the choral
union is such that it i3 possible for
every music lover to get into the or
ganization, the fifteen lessons, are
but 50 cents while the purchase of
the book necessary is but ninety
cents, making a ttal of $1.4 0, which
is a very small sum indeed for the
benefits that the vocalists will re
ceive in the training and the musical
knowledge that may be gained from
the work of Mr. Logan."
Mr. Cloidt stated also that th
concert in Omaha would have as a
feature in the baritone soloist, Ru
dolph Warrenwrath. celebrated solo
ist, as well as a soprano and alto
soloist brought from Chicago for the
Omaha concert.
"This is a real opportunity for
the musicians of the city to derive
a great deal of benefit" Mr. Cloidt
states, "and I hope that a very large
number will Join in this choral union
as we should have a chorus of eighty
voices from this city."

TRAIN IS DELAYED
From Friday's Daily
A derailment of Beveral cars in a
Burlington freight train between
Omaha and South Omaha, this morn
ing blocked the Omaha-Lincoln line
of the road and delayed eastbound
passenger train No. 6 due here at
7:15 a. m. for several hours. The
blocking of the tracks at the out
skirts of Omaha made necessary the
sending of the train into Omaha by
way of Ashland and Oreapolis and
which caused the delay to the train.

read, and they snre do get results.
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. George was the
winner over Mickey Durane at the
last bout of the Eagles and gave the
Omaha boxer a good trimming.
Definite announcement of the par
ticipants in the boxing carnival will
probably be ready during the com
ing week and permit the fans to pre
pare to attend another of the good
Eagle fight shows at the American
Legion building.
