Four hundred volunteer fire fighters,

handy, fought for three hours with a
terrific prairie fire in the Snake Creek
valley, a few miles south of Alliance,
Wednesday morning. The call came
for assistance from Alliance after the
fire had been spreading for over an
hour, driven by a fast fifty-mile wind,

lower insurance rates, would cost the
city about two or three times what it
would save in premiums. His figures
are given in the statement from him
which follows.
The work of the city manager has
already borne some fruit. This week
a representative of the bureau is in
Alliance, engaged in re-rating the
buildings, and it is probable that lower
' insurance rates will result.
Mr. Kemmish makes his chief point,
however, the fact that there is a limit
to the money that the city should
spend for fire prevention apparatus.
He thinks this limit has been reached.
Rates in Alliance as based on certain
arbitrary classifications, and it will be
necessary for the city to make one of

FRIDAY MORNING.
fire was under control, after it had
destroyed about two sections of Snake
Creek valley hay land and burned
number of stacks of hay which were
in the oath of the blaze.
When the volunteer fire fighters
reached the scene, the outlook was des
perate. The strong wind made the ef
forts of the fire fighters seem hope
less, but their great number, agisted
bv tractors and teams which plowed
fire guards in the path of the flames,
were of invaluable assistance in get
ting the blaze under control.
Division Superintendent Fred Gur
lev of the Burlinirton responded to the
emergency by sending out a number
of men from the Burlington shops and
yard to help fight the flames. The
railroad contributed a hundred men,

Mra Will Johnson was re-elected

Vi rponilar meeting of the Alliance
city council at the city hall Thursday
evening.
Henry Hier of Antioch was in AUi
ance on business rriuay morning.
Ever since the business men 'of Al
liance and the county commissioners
have been at outs on the matter of
building roads, there have been some
who have wondered if it weren't pos
sible to find some system of county
government which would be more re
sponsive to the will of the majority of
the voters. Under the present plan,
with only three men holding the con'
trol of the county funds, if they desire
to stand against the will of the ma
jority, there ia little that the average
citixen can do save protest. Occasion
ally he can make his protests heard,
as in the case where Alliance men
went over the! heads of the county
commissioner! and stopped them from
giving state aid to a road of their
selection.
Now comes the suggestion from
Calvin J. Leis of Liberty precinct that
the supervisor plan of county govern
ment holds a remedy lor the present
situation. Mr. Leia lives in one or the
precincts where no commissioner is
selected, and he has apparently (!!
covered what others have suspected,
that whenever roads are built, they
are usually built by commissioners in
their own district and especially in
their own precincts. This may go far
toward explaining why Commissioner
Carrell or Hemingford, for example,
is strongly supported by the people of
his own precinct.
Liberty precinct, Mr. Leis says, is
stronelv for the supervisor system.
With this svstem in effect, he thinks
there would be no room to talk of
graft tmd favoritism. It would insure
the building of roads in every precinct
instead of a favored few. he thinks
So long as Box Butte county has the
commissioner system, he declares, just
so long will the commissioners have
graded roads to their farms, with the
re.-t of the county paying the bill. Mr,
Lets writes:

"There never wa3 a better time to
put Box Butte county under good
honest management than right now,

and each of them will have charge of

"Sn loner as we have commissioners,
ust so long they will have graded

the time for road boosters and other
good citizens to advocate township or

JOE TAYLOR COMES FOR BODY
OF BROTHER-IN-LAW.
Finds More Money in Clothing of Han
Killed While Hoboing
His Way Home.
Joe Taylor of Rushing. Ark., arriv
ed in Alliance Wednesday afternoon on.
mul mission. He came to identify
the body of LeRoy Bennett, hi
brother-in-law, whose dead body w&a
taken from a coal car at Birdsell oik
Thursday morning of last week. Bea-
nett was believed by the officers to
have been killed at some place on a
trip from Cushman, Mont., from
which town he was hoboing hi way
to Rushing, Ark., where he was to re
join his wife and children. Bennett
came to his death in an effort to beat
the railroad company out of the prion
of his fare back home. He apparent
ly did not realize the danger of ridiaf
in a car filled with lumber, and met
his death when the freight train
stopped suddenly, throwing the lumber
on top of him.
Mr. Taylor proceeded immediately
to the office of Sheriff J. W. Miller
and gave a number of marks by which
he would identify the dead man if It
proved to be his bruther-in-law. He
seemed hopeful that it would prove to
be a mistake. He had not seen Ben
nett for three years, but was very well
acquainted with him, having played
with him in childhood and lived in tho
same town for a number of years. Ho
told of peculiarities in the teeth, n
knife wound in the abdomen, a scar
from a burn below the left knee and
other peculiarities. An examination
of the body showed the identification
to lie complete. Only on one point
did Taylor fail to Identify his brother-fn-law,
and that was the chewing" of;
tobacco.
"He must have learned to chew
since I saw him last," he said. "Ben- .
nctt never chewed when I knew him.
The body of Bennett was started on

company in the history of the state,
and represents a number of sacrifices
on the part of this company which was.
primarily interested in ending the long
deadlock and placing Itself in a posi
tion where it could serve the telephone
f nitrons and prospective patrons in Al
iance with proper protection for its
self. It is not necessary to enumerate
the features of the new franchise
which should make it acceptable to
the people of Alliance in general. The
subject has been discussed for two
two years from every point of view
in the public press, and those who
have interested themselves in the mat
ter will find that every objection has
been met and every possible safe
guard included. Neither is it neces
sarv to enumerate the obstacles that
have been overcome. In the course of
so long a struggle, it was natural that
there should be pome degree of ob
stinacy develop on both sides, and
there is cause for congratulation that
the cmpany and the city officials have
been able to find common ground on
which to meet and overcome their
differences.
The company has felt, in the ab
sence of a franchise, that it was not
iustified in increasing its investment
in the city. The absence of the legal
right to ute the streets and alleys of
Alliance for our equipment has made
us hesitate to go ahead With exten
