GEORGE M. YOUNG LOSES
CLAIM AGAINST LOER ESTATE
Judge Westover in district court
Monday morning decided against Geo.
M. Young in his suit against the Loer
estate. The plaintiff, was the grand
son of George M. Loer, who died about
a year ago. Mr. Loer left a will in
which Young was not mentioned.
The plaintiff claimed that Loer had
pro'mised if he would leave his home
'tr.d n the hills thrt he would treat
him as a son and leave him half of
his ranch rear Hemingford. Through
Burton & Reddish, his attorneys he
brought suit for specific performance.
Practically the whole neighborhood
was called to the witness stand, but
when the testimony was all in, Judge
Westover dismissed the case. Among
reasons was cited the fact that it had
not been shown that Young gave up
his homestead for that reason, his
brother having filed on it the clay it
was relinquished; and that if such a
contract had existed, it had not been
filed, some of the land having been
leased.
The half-interest in question is
worth In the neighborhood of $25,000
and the case will be appealed.
Following the trial, two feminize
witnesses are said to have had a mix
up on Box Butte avenue.
Special All-Dav Sales begin

WEINELL LOSES SU!T
AGAINST THE COUNTY
The suit of John Weinell, living fif-j
teen miles north and lest of Alliance,
against Box Butte county was decided
in favor of, the county by District ,
rfudpe Westover Monday afternoon.
Weinell sued for some $1,300 damages
sustained when the commissioners laid
out a road through his place. Failure
to file his daim within the prescribed
time lost him the money.
The commissioners advertised for
claims to be filed by noon on January
7, 1920. Miss Avis .Toder, now county
clerk, testified that the claim was filed
at 1 :15 p. m. The commissioners re
jected it, and Weinell sued. Judge
Westover, after hearing the testimony,
told the plaintiff he was just an hour
and fifteen minutes too late.
AT THE MOVIES
Tonight's attraction at the Imperial
will be William Farnum in "Heart
Strings." Mr. Farnurn in this produc

the extensive gallery of his screen

and evening.
By permission of the United States
government, the official war picture,
VFlashes of Action," which was shown
Monday evening, will appear again to

failed to see it.
County Judge Tash has filed with
the board of counfy commissioners a
report of the cash fees collected by
him during the year 1920. The total
reaches 2,264, which is a trifle less
than that for last year, $2,4S0. Last
year was the record year for fees in
the office. After paying all the ex
penses of the office, including the !
judge s yearly allowance, clerk hire,
postage, etc., a balance of $2.80 was
turned back to the county. The coun
ty judge does not receive a fixed sal
ary, but is allowed to retain fees up
to $1,800 in counties of this size. If
Judge Tash were trying to make a big
fee record, he could tax the costs in
county cases up to the commissioners
and then pay them back to the county
in excess fees. As it is, about a third
of the work he does is not paid for,
including the hearing of all criminal
and juvenile court cases .
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sullivan and
daughter, Nellie, returned to Omaha
