WASMI'Mi, SU County Cou n t y At urney eegene BURTON County Assessor JOHN J ELI NEK IN ORDER THAT THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW Some Light on the Subject as to Who May Contract for the E rection of County Buildings COUNTY COMMISSIONER CANNOT Whether we favor a proposition or not. (re believe in a full, Tree and rair dlOOttseioa of every important Is sue that affects the public. In the present discussion of the proposition to bond Box Butte county for n new court house, we shall be pleased to see nil the arguments that can be produced, either for or against, pre senter! to the voters of the county; and for that purpose the columns of The Herald are open; hut when we see a misstatement of fact that mlKht mislead voters we consider It a duty to correct the same, if wo can. We are Informed Unit, a.s an ar gument against the issuance of the court house bonds, the statement Is being circulated extensively thruout the county that County Commissioner Rack wishes the bonds to ( ai ry at the coming election in order that he can, n.s a member of the county board, help let the contract for the construction of the building to him self. Aa a matter of fact, under the Htatutes of Nebraska he would have no right to be interested financially in such a contract, either directly or Indirectly, while holding a county of fice, and such a contract would be Illegal. Eurthermore, we are reli ably Informed that Mr. Reck would not be in position to put In a suc ceesful bid, even If he were not county commissioner, for the follow ing reasons: The construction or buildings costing from I7S.060 up wards is done by large construct ion companies having facilities Tor hand ling such work that make it prac tically impossible for the smaller con tractors to compete With them. These large construction compaiihs seldom If ever bid on the smaller jobs, those coining under $50,000, but if a $75,000 building is to be contracted for, there will, without doubt, be plenty of them to submit bids that will croud out the smaller contract ors. In this connection il may be ob served that the many buildliigs con structed by Sang C. Reck In this part of Nebraska (MM In the class under 140.900, If the contract for tha construc tion of a court house for liox Butte county Is let next year, it will be at a time when Mr. Reck will be chair man of the board of county ec nmis sloners. He says he would prefer to have the honor of being chairman of the hoard at t lie time a suitable court house shall be construct! d. to having the contract for building it himself. Laying all prejudice on the subject aside, it looks like an oppor tune time for the county to proceed with the building Of a court house, which practically every voter in the county concedes must be built with in a w rears, n the count) cm have the benefit. without extra charge, of the knowledge and experi ence of a practical contractor and builder as chairman of the county board. It looks like the part of wis dom to not turn down t he opportun ity. Special Sale on the Well Known Parker Fountain Pens lien Brewster of Chadron and II F. Wasmund.

They were about ready to return to town and while Hitch cock and Bowman drove around the lake the other two men waded thru to meet them. Hitchcock had been holding the loaded gun and Mow man was driving when they came to a wire fence which Hitchcock got out to hold down while Bowman took the gun iind started to drive the team across. As the horses started across the fence they became scared and started to run. The Jerk of theag ou caused the gun to fall against the dashboard, the hammer striking it and breaking off. The gun was on half cock which was safety but the extreme force of the blow caused the hammer to fall before breaking off. The team started to run and Bow man, with one useless arm, endeav ored to hold them with his left arm. Hitchcock ran after them and catch ing the bridles, stopped them. Bow man had held the lines with his left I arm and knees. The charge or shot entered Bow- j man's right side at the bottom of the ribs and tearing all of the flesh off the ribs on its way upward.
