The suit involves the transaction
which led the Douglas county grand
jury to indict President Gurtiey for
alleged enibewlcment. It is charged
that the respective detcmianu con
verted $300,000 of notes, bonds and
mortg.iRes, rightfully belonging to
' the company, to their own use.
. As outlined before the grand jury,
the various persona named as de
fendants in the present suiit gave
their own notes or other security to
the company in August, 1920, to
make good an apparent impairment
1 of its capital. A resolution of the
' directors declared thee securities to
i be contributions made to the com
"pany without expectation of return
1 and without obligation on the com
pany's part to return. Nevertheless,
' the secnntics were returned, alter an
auditor had approved the company's
financial showing. ". '
The state claims that the return
was without authority of directors
; or stockholders, as shown by the
! company s records, and that the ac
.Stion constituted a conversion of the
company's assets to private use.

There's still a thrill or two left in

These two men returned from a
Sunday automobile trip a week or
so ago with the startling informa
tion that the oldest building in Ne
braska was to be torn down in the
near future.
The oldest building is a mouldy
two-room log cabin, located about
five miles southeast of rapiilion in
the heart, of some heavy timber, ac
cording to Mr. Koch's description.
'Neighboring residents told us the
old . cabin was 97 years old," said
Mr. Koch. "They said the constoitu-
tion of Ncbt.iska was framed there.
Later it became a mission school,
they say.
There are three gigantic cotton-
wood trees just south of the cabin,
and near them is a plot of ground

Once Used At Mission.'
State historical, society officers at
Lincoln say that the cabin "discov
ered" by the two Omaha men is
probably a mission established by
Moses Merrill, the first missionary
in Nebraska in 1834. They describe
the location of this mission as "sev
en miles west of Bellcvue," however.
A, E. Sheldon of the historical so
ciety says efforts have been made by
historical and patriotic organizations
to purchase the cabin and the small
tract of land around it, but without
success.
"The effort surely should be made
to prevent the cabin from being torn
down," Mr. Sheldon declared. , "It is
one of the state's most interesting
historical relics."

The Eastern division has four

"Washington officials are well

Mr. Connors yesterday. "Considering
the obstacles that the flyers must
overcome and the regular daily

in the face of high winds, rain, bliz

"Their days of thrills are over.
They've gotten down to the realiza

"Records of the air mail service
have shown that it cannot be dis

heavy snows, rains or blizzards,
when mail trains are held up for
hours at a time, the air mail flyers
kept up an incomparable schedule."
So efficient has become the air
mail service that plans for building
planes at mail stations are now being
carried out. Omaha's first built mail
plane made its maiden flight a week
ago to Cheyenne. The air mail serv

progress of aviation in this country
