In tho county court yesterday tho will of tho lato Mrs. Kilmer, of tho north part of tho county, was contested by one of tho six heirs. The property involved is 160 acres of land and the contestant objects to the manner in which the land was divided under tho will. Tho announcement . that a second Trustee's addition will bo platted, and after being improved with graded streets, sidewalks and sewers, will be offered for salo, is evidence of North Platto's growth, and that tho First ward, which has mado a slower growth than the other two words, is taking on new life. Some surprise was created Wpdnes- day by tho announcement that F. E. Dullard and A. F. Strcitz hnd tendered their resignations as members of tho board of education. This action on their part grew "out of tho petition asking tho board to ro-employ Miss Preston as a teapher after her applica tion had boon rejected. While regret ipg to lose these two members, wo do not fault them for their action, for tho petition can bo taken ns criticism from thoso who' Bignod it a lack of confi dence in tho ability of tho board to conduct its business in a fair manner and to the best interests of tho schools.
