(Spe cial Telegram.) Officially the case of Postmaster. Porter, of Bridgeport is the same as before the equity matter was submitted to the federal court.

(Special.) The Kearney Power company is demand ing a hearing before the State Board of Irrigation, in which they propose to make a demand for water needed by them to carry on the business of their plant, claiming that because the water is held back for irrigation pur poses they are compelled to spend " $15 a day for coal to run the plant, notwithstanding they have a prior right to the water. It is estimated by State Engineer Johnson that because the farmers have access to the water, it is sav ing them from $90,000 to $100,000 in crops and that because the power company has used the water when the farmers needed it in the last few years, the farmers have lost over $2,000,000. . He believes if the farmers higher up on the Platte didn't use the water, it would evaporate naturally before it reached the Kearney plant, and would be a loss not only to the Kearney people, but a total loss all around. Cloud Upon Title Exists Through Mortgage to State Licoln, July 20.

The owerns of the lad were unable to keep up the interest and so the state took over the farm as paymet, but failed to re lease the mortgage on the lots after securing possession of the land which was placed to the school fund credit.
