LINCOLN Paul De Vere of Lin coln, former jailer at the Lancaster county jail, who, according to Los Angeles dispatches, wrote asking Post master P. P. O'Brien of that city to auction him off in order that he may support his children and restore his wile's health, waa dismissed as jailer at request of Governor McKelvie. Since his dismissal, De Vere and his wife and six children have been destitute, and Mrs. De Vere is said to be in need of medical attention. De Vere admits that he made the gtrange request. De Vere was sent to Leavenworth prison two years ago on a liquor charge, but was soon paroled to Lincoln Deocle. Upon his return he was employed as jailer. Later Governor S. R. McKel vie wrote Sheriff Miller that he did not believe De Vere should be employed at the county Jail. De Vere was filling his position satisfactorily, Sheriff Miller said. The association has voted to file upon 180,000 acre feet of water and; this application was filed with the de partment of public works at Lincoln. This 180,000 acre feet composes all of the normal winter flow of the South Platte river during the six months from October to April. ANTIOCn.
