HIGH COURT SAYS PULSION LEGE Alfred I). Smith of Uox Uutte Sued for Damages Rut Gets Nothing Except Hot Roast Alfred D. Smith, twelve-year-old boy who sued members of the school board of district No. 30, Box Butte county and two or three school pat rons, for $2,500 damages because he was expelled from school, gets Just what he got In the district court- nothing except a hot roast. The su preme court has affirmed tae Judg ment of the lower court which was la faror of the defendants. The suit was filed in the name of Miss Charlotte C. Worley, legal guar dian of the Smith boy. Theodore Johnson and thers were defendants. rne testimony anowea mat me teacu- r of tae school. Miss Uhrlg. desired to resign because she was having trouble with Alfred Smith and his brother, Earl. The school board In vited patrons to attend a meeting for discussion of a proposal to expel Al fred. At this meeting tne patrons, with the exception cf one relative of the boy, voted for expulsion. The board later held a meeting and de elded to expel the youth. No record was kept of this meeting and its leg ality was questioned. Tae court holds the expulsion legal. The boy was charged with using vile and profane language, and writ lug obscene notes to young girls in the school. His attorney alleged the expulsion deprived the boy of lus constitutional rights, that of free i'. struct ion In the common schoo1. On that subject Judge J. R. Dean, who wrolif the opinion of tho supremo court, said: "It will not be seriously contended taat the fundamental law contem plates the attendance at a oublic school of any pupil who by reason of contumacious conduct will not avail himself of the opportunity of free Instruction there offered to the youth of the state. If plaintiff school mates told the truth, and evidently the Jury believed them, his conduct was such that his attendance and ni8 presence among taem was not only a hindrance to their, advance ment but was as well a positive men ace to the morals and to the safety of pupila who attended the school to avail themselves of the instruction that in guaranteed by Ih t cous'itu tion."

Work has begun on the extensive switch tracks that are a part of the Burlington's plan for enlargement of the yards at Bridgeport, and the dirt is moving at as lively a rate as is' possible with the use of teams of horses, says the Bayard Farmers Exchange. The horse power will be used for only a short time, it being necessary to grade the first track with teams so that rails can be laid for a steam saovel. As soon as the steam shovel can be put in opera tion the soil can be moved faster and cheaper. The plans for ultimate construc tion of trackage in the Bridgeport yards call for fifteen switch tracks about a mile and a half long each. The work will be done in install ments, the first installment being three tracks tor the full lengtTf of the new yards. The contract tci these tracks is being performed by Cunningham & Monahan of Denver, under tae direction of Engineer E. F. Hamilton, of the Burlington, whose headquarters are at Alliance. Mr .Hamilton has been in Bridge port this week looking after the work that is being started. The camp of the contractors is lo cated about a mile east of the round house, and the first grading is being done near the camp. The east end of the new yards will be about a mile an da half east of the round house, wit a the west end at the round house. The yard will be what is called a "flat" yard, instead of a "hump" yard, the latter designation mean ing a yard that has a raised place, or "hump" at one end, so arranged that cars can be pushed over the "hump" and will then roll by gravity to the other end of the yard. It is claimed that "hump" yards are be ing found unsatisfactory in general operation, and are being taken out at places and being replaced by "flat" yards. About 30,000 yards of earth will be' moved by Cunningaam & Mona han in this initial contract. That this signifies largely increased rail road activities at Bridgeport cannot be doubted.
