Several individuals who appar
ently never have a good word to
say for anybody or anything, have
started the report that the object
of the Board ot Education m
placing the successful bidder for
the new school building under a
fittv thousand dollar bond was to
frighten off home bidders. Such
a claim is absolutely absurd. The
state law provides that the bond
given by a contractor for public
buildings shall be double the
amount ot the contract price
hence the Board could not do
otherwise than place the bond at
the sum named. If the successful
bidder is a North Platte man we
opine that he can easily secure time
the necessary bond.

Another decision was rendered
Wednesday in the famous iurpie
Bros, law suit, which has been
dragging through the Indiana
courtB for fourteen years. The suit
was originally brought by Turpic
Bros, against Hugh Lowe in 188G

cision is the tilth one and is in
favor of the defendant to whom it

Chicago Sunday was, in the early
frontier days, one of the "freight
ing kings" of the west, the firm of
which he was a member owning
3,500 yoke of oxen and over 1,000
horses and mules. It was Mr.
Majors that gave Colonel Cody 1i!b
first job as a young boy, taught
im to read and write and later
Cody became one of his most
trusted pony express riders be-
ween Denver and Salt Lake.
Upon the completion of the Union
Pacific railroad the freighting bus-
ness was brought to a close and
the two men parted company.
After many years of separation
the two men chanced to meet in
Denver in 1892. Majors was in
destitute circumstances, while
Cody had money to ''burn." The
atter gave his old employer all as
sistance ueceBsary, and from that
time until Majors death the two
had been in constant commuuica
