TROUBLE OVER BRIDGE MATERIAL,
lolfnx Commissioners Aliened to
Have Bought Liberally.
SCHUYLER, Neb., April 18.-8pecial.)
Ever since the Platte river wagon bridge
at this point went out with the Ice In the
spring of 1908 there has been almost con
stant endeavor on the part of those In
terested In having it In to get It rebuilt.
ana strife against their endeavors by a
majority of the Board of. County Commls
sloners, backed by strong sentiment of a
great majority of the cltlsens of the county
outside of Schuyler. Effort was made to
make mandamus proceedings effective, but
the supreme court would not Issue same,
because there was no showing made of
funds with which to prosecute the work
nor provision made for It by any levy then
made. The depleted condition of the bridge
fund caused some Investigating, and It was
discovered that large quantities of bridge
material had been bought. It Is alleged.
without regard for laws governing the
purchase of same, the commissioners hav
ing bought materiaj on their Individual
orders, the bills being audited and allowed
as soon as presented, and It has been
stated, the minority commissioners' being
authority, that there are at this time fifteen
or sixteen carloads of bridge material be
longing to the county at Schuyler, Rogers,
Clarkson, Howells and Leigh. The dis
covery of this condition, which seemed to
Indicate that the commissioners were pur
posely working to keep the bridge fund
depleted, caused a storm of adverse senti
ment and action Is now being strongly
urged to stop their work. A restraining
order was issued from the county court
Saturday temporarily restraining the oom-
missioners rrom allowing claims ror mo-
terlal so purchased, drawing orders for pay
ment of same and from further buying
such material excepting by advertising as
required by law.
TWO HOMER WOMEN I PERIL
While Driving from Dakota City
Their Rlar Is Struck by Waa-oa.
DAKOTA CITT, Neb.. April 18. (Special.)
Mesdames John Clayton and Frank Saw
yers of Homer met with an accident which
might have cost them their lives,' but
probably both escaped without serious
damage. They bad been to this place to
attend a church council meeting and ware
on their way home and when about three
miles west of this place the vehicle they
were riding in was run Into from behind
by Thomas Duggan of Hubbard, who had
his team running as fast as they could
go. Duggan's team ran right up Into the
spring buggy occupied by the women, the
tongue of the wagon punching their seat
nff and hurling the women headlong out of
their buggy. The team the women were
driving broke loose and ran away, while
Duggan's team became entangled In the
harness and vehicles, throwing both horses
down.
Duggan's condition was such that he
could offer no assistance. Mrs. Clayton
succeeded In getting a knife from Duggan

Tukon river, Alaska, and he made a point
