AGAINST BOARD
JUDGE WESTOVER ISSUES
A PEREMPTORY WRIT
Ordering1 the Canvassing Hoard to
Reconvene and Count tlie Vote
of the aVeeinctM Thrown Out
Other liorlc of Court
Judge Westover held a special term
of court here Monday and Tuesday
and in addition to ordering a number
of confirmations and doing other busi
of a like nature heard a petition from
Rock county by its attorney J A
Douglas asking for an alternative writ
of mandamus against the comissioners
of Brown county to compel them to
make a special tax levy for
the purpose of paying a judgement
held against Brown county for 5541
also asking that the commissioners be
fined 500 each for neglecting to per
form their duty The court granted
the mandamus making it returnable
at Ainsworth on Aug 24
A freindly replevin suit between
Chas T Jones and W E Haley ad
ministrator cf the Enlow estate was
heard and Jones was given the certi
ficates of deposit which he had left in

A divorce was granted Amberson G
Shaw from Rhoda A Shaw on grounds
that they were uncongenial This
is a case which was left over from last
fall but was nevertheless a surprise
A divorce was also granted Mary
Johnson from Chester S Johnson as
sessor on the ground that Chester
shamefully treated her and called her
names at divers times and in various
places The couple has two children
but they did not enter into the
versy
J Thackrey of Cooper Irwin pre
cinct appeared to ask for a peremptory
writ of mandamus to compel the can
vassing board of the bond election to
reassemble and count the vote of
Dewer Lake Eniow and Kennedy pre
cincts but by agreement the case was
put off until Tuesday morning at 9
oclock
M F Harrington appeared for
Thackrey and it having been decided
that no hard fight should be made the
testimony in the case was soon taken
and submitted to the court on its
merits Judge Tucker appearing for
the canvassing board to keep the re
cord straight It seems that the -case
was pretty much one sided because
the judge granted the mandamus with
out hardly a moments hesitation
The writ commands the board to as
semble immediately and count the
votes of Xenzel and Sharps Ranch as
well as the three before named and
this the board will do as soon as D II
Thurston can come up from Holt coun
ty
This settles the court house bond
question unless some citizen wishes to
contest the election in which event
the bonds might be declared carried
Everybody should feel glad that the
case is disposed of but the county
would have been saved about 125 or
more had action been commenced
sooner For over a month after the
count nothing was done but it was
finally decided that no action would be
taken by the opponents of the bonds
and they were ordered printed This
cost 50 a special session of the board
and a trip to Lincoln all of which
would have been saved
The utmost good feeling prevails
over the decision of the judge and no
criticisms are heard
On account of the bad weather of
the past week which has prevented us
from finishing our work here we have

the same high grade of photos which
we have been turning out during the

On July 21 the board of directors of
the Golden Irrigation district issued a
circular to the taxpayers stating that
they had discovered the scheme was
not feasible the Snake and Niobrara
being incapable of furnishing sufficient
water to irrigate the entire district
This is too bad and it really does seem
that this conclusion could have been
reached long ago before the district
had been put to so much expense
This a great feather in the caps of
Miles and Berkley of Ainsworth and
they can afford to do a little crowing
and say I told you so As soon as
the debts of the district are paid it
it will be disorginized
