TWENTIETH YEAR
Everybody Satisfied and Happy
Tho members of the board of directors
ofMcCook base ball association met
Saturday evening and closed up the
business of tho season of 1901
All the players and expenses of the
aeason were paid the small shortage
existing being met at the meeting and
the same will be provided for at some
future time by a dance or a benefit of
some other kind The season closed
with everybody well pleased and pros
pects bright for next season
It was determined to commence push
ing tho work on next seasons opera
tions It was thought best to organize
a regular stock company with shares at
5 each hoping to secure at least S1000
for this purpose At the meeting 103
shares wero subscribed for and it is
thought that the entire amount can be
raised without difficulty by a little
judicious canvassing A committee to
secure stock subscriptions was appointed
and it consists of CI Hall George
Beck T E McCarl C C Northrup
and E J Wilcox and as soon as the
desired amount is provided the stock
holders will be called together to elect
a board of directors and officers
A strong nucleus for a winning team
for the 1902 season has already been
practically secured including such men
as Heck Jones Cochran Cooley Gib
bins of the old team Ahlin of Minden
andMerriott of Kearney With such
men as the above named and others that
are being considered it will be possible
to open the season early with a strong
team and to play ball from the start
The temporary itinerary contemplates
playing three games at home and three
abroad every week during the season
The present prospects now are that Mc
Cook will be in the base ball business
next season for blood

MeCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 27 I90L
An Astounding- Decision
The supreme court of Nobraska in
passing upon tho case of Barnes et al
administrator vs Red Willow county
has established an astounding bit of
law
The facts in this case will be recalled
by all familiar with the matter A H
Barnes died after serving a few months
of his term of office During the time
he served he collected money enough to
make fees a number of hundred dollars
in excess of the pro rata of his salary and
allowances Suit was brought by the
county against the administrator of the
estate to recover the excess The dis
trict court sustained the county The
decision just handed down by the su
preme court reverses the lower court
and establishes the fact that a man may
serve as county treasurer for three
months more or less and collect and re
tain his entire annual salary and all al
lowances This decision establishes the
fact that his successor may be compelled
to serve most of tho year without a
remuneration and incidentally robs the
people of the right to have a county
treasurer at all in case of death or res
ignation under circumstances like those
in this case No sane man will contend
for a moment that the office of county
treasurer should remain vacant under
such circumstances nor will any honest
or just man contend that an officer leg
ally chosen to fill an unexpired term
should serve without pay The law and
commonsense demand that the office
shall be filled and common honesty de
mands that such officer should be paid
for the services rendered Again it is
not consistent with a very cheap idea of
equity and honesty even to maintain
that any officer should bo allowed a
years salary and allowances for the ser
vices of a few months The decision
may have sonie technical basis in stat
ute but it is a preposterous product
from the standpoint of equity and com
mon sense
Following is the syllabus of the court
No 9962 Barnes et al administra
tors vs County of Red Willow Error
Red Willow Reversed and remanded
Norval J C Reported
1 A county treasurer is not liable to
the county for any fees earned and col
lected by him unless such fees in anyone
year exceed the compensation allowed
the officer by law togethor with the
amount paid out by him as salary of
deputy and assistants
2 When a county treasurerdies and a
successor is appointed who serves for
the unexpired portion of the year the
amount of fees to be retained by both
cannot exceed in the aggregate the sum
fixed by statute as compensation for one
year plus the amount expended for dep
uty and clerk hire
A Rousing- Rally
The Methodist friends indulged them
SGlves in a rousing religious rally Wed
nesday evening and enjoyed the pres
ence of a church full of members and
friends of the church The occasion
was the close of the conference year
which formally ends on October 6th
and the program was a composite bit of
pleasure made up of reports vocal and
instrumental music recitations etc all
topped off with a social time and a
season of refreshments
Miss Edna Dixon church organist
gave a selection on the organ a male
quartette composed of MessrsSelby and
Messrs Irwin rendered a vocal number
Miss Mary J Scott sang a solo and Miss
Lulu Crawford gave a recitation The
numbers of the program of entertain
ment were interspersed between reports
from the different departments of
church work from the Sunday school
Junior League Epworth League Aid
Society etc Presiding Elder W E
Hardaway of Holdrege was present
The several reports read showed an en
couraging and promising state of affairs ing for 37c
in the different departments of the
churchs activities
