The little six-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James Potmesil, Helen,
was seriously and perhaps fatally
burned at their home in the east
part of town late Saturday after
noon. The little girl, in company
with other children, had beens play
ing with a can of gasoline. 1 Her
slothing had become saturated with
it when one of the other children
touched a match to the can and she
was instantly enveloped in flames
from head to foot. ',' -t .

and after trying to put out the fire
with her hands she grasped a gar
den hose and threw the stream of
water onto. the girl, putting out the
.fire. ;
Dr. Copsey was called and dressed
the burns and gave what relief could
be given. The girl's body is badly
burned from the knees to the neck
and on her arms. There is little
kope for her recovery. If she sur
vives it will be necessary to graft
large amounts of skin onto the bad
ly burned parts of her body.

Morehead, r tt, and Howell,
Republican, Nominated for (iov
ernor of Nebraska
Returns from Tuesday's primary
election in Nebraska are being se
cured very slowly. The law requires
the official count to be made on Fri
day, hence it Is probable that It will
not be known before the last of the
week who alt of the nominees for
state and congressional offices are.
Enough reports have been received
to Indicate that R. B. Howell of Om
aha has received the republican nom
ination for governor by decisive plur
alities over his five competitors; and
as was generally expected. Governor
Morehead has been renominated by
large pluralities over George W.
Berge and Richard L. Metcalfe, with
a probable majority over both of
them combined.
The primary campaign was in
some localities one of the hardest
fought in the history of the state,
but in many places there was not
much Interest, with the result ' that
the total vote cast wt,s comparative
ly light
For state offices below that of gov
ernor, it is impossible at this writ
ing (Thursday morning) to say pos
itively who have received the nomin
ations, except where there was but
one candidate, as In the case of aud
itor of public accounts and attorney
general on the democratic ticket and
commissioner of public lands and
.buildings on the republican ticket.
Walter V. Hoagland of North
Platte has the lead of the four can
didates for the republican nomina
tion for lieutenant governor, and
George W. Potts leads Pearson and
Snavely for the democratic nomina
tion. Secretary of State Addison Walt
for republican renomlnation Is ahead
of his competitor, Clyde H. Barnard.
Charles W. Pool who was the demo
cratic nominee for the office two
years ago, seems to have the nomin
ation again over Frank P. Shileds,
who is not far behind on the vote so
far as reported.
For state treasurer, George E.
Hall is no doubt the democratic nom
inee, and F. C. Hamer probably the
republican. . -
: Fpr Mate, superintendent jjLiiublic
Instruction, the republican nomina
tion seems to have gone to the pres
ent deputy superintendent, Robert I.
Elliott, with A. O. Thomas second
and E. E. Hays third. Many west
ern Nebraska people are particularly
interested in the democratic nomin
ation and most of them will be
pleased to learn that It has probably
been given to Earl Cline, altho P. M.
Whitehead ran strong, leading both
Arthur B. Walker and E. F. Monroe.
Charles W. Sears leads the four
candidates for the republican nomin
ation for attorney general. Willis
E. Reed was given the democratic
nomination without opposition.
Wm. H. Smith of Seward had no
opposition for the democratic nom
ination for auditor of public ac
counts. From reports already re
ceived it is evident that W. L. Minor
bas defeated J. M. O'Neal for the
democratic nomination. .
Fred Beckmann was accorded un
animous nomination for commission
er of public lands and buildings, and
W. B. Eastham of Broken Bow is
again given the democratic nomina
tion, defeating McKlsaick and Marti.
The office of railway commission
er is considered quite a prize for
those who look only at the salary,
and being a position of responsibility
gives opportunity for service to those
who desire to fill the place thru pat
riotic motives. For theBe reasons
more candidates contested for the
two nominations than for any other
state office. For the democratic nom
ination, the small returns already re
ceived place R. W. Ralston in the
lead, followed by Will M. Maupin, J.
A. Ollis, and M. B. Lehr. in the or
der named. It is probable that the
positions of the candidates will be
changed, except that the last named
will probably be low man in the fin
al count. For the republican nom
ination, Thomas L. Hall has a strong
lead over all of his five republican
competitors.
Two university regents -are to be
elected. The democrats have nom
inated John E. Miller and Charles
M. Sklles, and defeated G.,W. Noble,
unless full returns change-the pres
ent standing of the three candidates. 1
There were also three candidates for
the two republican nominations for
this position, George Coupland, Pet
er Jansen and Edward P. Brown.
First reports place Brown and Coup
land In the lead, hut It is probable
that when all returns are In Coup
land will fall to third place. . He is
regent now and has been so active in
advocating university removal.
Congressmen Magulre. Lobeck and
Stephens have been renominated by
the democrats tn the First, Second
and Third districts, while the repub
licans have nominated C. F. Keavls
of Falls City In the First, T. W.
Blackburn of Omaha in the Second,
and probably Splllman In the Third.
The three republican congressmen,
Sloan in the Fourth District. Barton
in the Fifth and Inkaid in the Sixth
have been renominated. The demo
cratic nominees for these three dis
tricts, according to latest reports,
are W. F. Rhodes of Hebron in the
Fourth, ex-Governor Shallenberger
In the Fifth, and Frank J. Taylor in
the Sixth.

be said for the pope.
When the seriousness of the pon

Earl D. Mallery of Alliance Wins
Hotly Contented Nomination
for State Senate
More interest was manifested In
Box Butte county on the republican
nomination for the state senate than
for state offices. There was not
much interest in the congressional
nominations for the reasons that It
was practically known that M. P.
Klnkald would be the republican
nominee and F.- J. Taylor democrat
ic. There was but one candidate for
each of the two party nominations
for state representative, F. M.
Broome of Alliance democrat, and
Ray O. Lyon of Gordon, republican.
As usual Earl Mallery, one of the
three candidates for the republican
nomination - for the state senate,
swept Box Butte county with an ov
erwhelming majority. The district
Is composed of seven counties, Box
Butte, Brown, Cherry, Dawes, Rock,
Sheridan and Sioux. There were
three names on the republican ticket,
but only two were really in the race,
Mallery and Woodruff Ball. Unless
ful Ireturns change the complexion
of the Dawes county vote, Mallery
has a majority In four counties, Box
Butte, Dawes, Sheridan .and Sioux,
while Ball has carried three, Brown,
Cherry and Rock, Mallery's major
ity in the district, it seems now, will
be above 300, possibly more than
400. His majority in Box Butte,
his home county, will be away above
300, and not less than that in Sheri
dan, which forms part of the district
which he has served as a member of
the lower house of the legislature.
He will have a good majority In
Sioux and a fair margin in Dawes.
Ball carried Brown county by a maj
ority of 77 over Mallery; eight pre
cincts in Rock give him a lead of 17.
and ten precincts In Cherry 89. His
majority in Cherry . may reach 200.
For the democratic nomination
for the state senate, Geo. M. Adams
of. Crawford has the lead over C. L.
Mayes of Rushville.
For county offices In Box Butte,
there was not more than one candi
date for the democratic nomination
for any office, while for some there
were none. E. M. Martin, county
treasurer, was renominated, as was
also C. M. Cox, sheriff, and 'Eugene
Burton, county 'attorney.- Wm, Rust,
Sr., having filed on the democratic
ticket, was nominated. For county
clerk, county superintendent, survey
or and coroner there were no filings
on the democratic ticket, nomina
tions for those offices, If made at all,
were by writing in names.
County Clerk M. 8. Hargraves and
Coroner Charles E. Slagle were re
nominated on the republican ticket
without opposition, as was County
Commissioner Cal Haahman in the
Second district Dick Waters tor
sheriff and Lee Basye for county at
torney were given the republican
nomination with no opposing candi
dates. -
County Commissioner Sang C.
Reck was given a surprise party In
the Third district He had filed for
renomlnation with no cne else on the
republican ticket for that office, and
had left the county to be gone until
after the primary election. "While
the cat's away the mice will play."
And so it happened. While not as
piring to a county office, it was. be
lieved that George W. Duncan, who
served many years as a county com
missioner, would consent to fill the
office again if presented to him. Ac
cordingly bills were distributed ask
ing republican voters to write In his
name, which they did in sufficient
numbers to give him the nomination
by a big majority.
Frank W. Irish and C. E. Marks
contested for the republican nomin
ation for county treasurer, the for
mer winning, but it is not known yet
by what majority.
There being no candidate for the
democratic nomination for county
superintendent of public instruction,
the contest between the two aspir
ants for the republican nomination
was more animated than it would
otherwise have been. Mlas Mame J.
White won over Prof. O. M. Burns
by a substantial majority.
EARL M. CLINE

cratic nomination for Mate sutr
