Meeting Held io
Settle Difficulties
The North Platto volunteer firo do
partment met Inst night in tho rooms
over the Hinman garage for a meeting
to unite the three companies. The or-
- conization was consumnted some time
ap-o, but some of tho men from the
-different companies were not satisfied
and the meeting last night was to
settle what difficulties that had arisen.
Tho chief difficulty was the new con
stitution and by laws which were made
over by combining those of the throe
former organizations. A number ot
the men wnnted them drafted over by
a committee to be appointed but when
put to a vote, the now revised consti
tution and by laws wero sustained by a
vote of 13 to 12.. After this the men
got to work on plans for tho work as it
will now bo canied on b the re-organized
department.
The old officers of the former com-
-nonlaa wnro drinp ftWflV with Under the
new rules and only a chief is to be
elected. The term of Chief Bowman
does not expire until April, 1915 and he
will bo in charge until then. Only one
other officer a captain in command is
needed under the rules and ho is to be
appointed by the Chief. The chief ap
pointed S. F. Russol, formerly of the
Hook and Ladder company, as captain.
Ho will have charge of the fires in case
of tho absence of the chief.
The new organization will have only
twenty-five mombers, according to the
new rulos, but all membors who havo
served some time will be left in until
their lime expires at which time they
will be dropped. The former companies
were allowed thirty-two members each,
nnd at nrosent there are about seventy-
fivo members.
A short time ago, one of the old
organizations held a special meeting
and took in several new members.
These wero not allowed to come into the
company as there is already an over
flow, according to tho constitution, and
the meeting was also declared illegal on
account of being held without tho know
ledge of the chief and without a written
request by the required five members.
At the close of the meeting, Chief
Bowman gave a little talk regarding
the new companies and the duties ot
the firemen, stating that hereafter, no
man would bo assigned to a special
duty at a fire; but that all would be
expected to do whatever was needed.
He stated that ho wanted all tho men
to go to work without any hard feeling
and conduct themselves as protectors
and put nside-uny "horseplay" or pottv
personal enmity. Tho meeting ad
journed and all were apparently satisfied.

A Glorious Rain.
This has been a glorious week for
western Nebraska, for following a fall

much needed precipitation. Tho early
part of the week was foggy and cloudy
then rain began descending gently at
intervals, with the result that up to
seven o'clock this morning the total
had reached ono and sixty-fivo otie
hundtedth inches. "Wheat and ryo
fields and lawns now show up as green
as in May the rain has proven a
wonderful benefit to small gram. And
more it has put an end to tho dust on
the road which had become several
inches deep. In tho west part of the
statu tho precipitation assumed the
form of snow, and around Sidney there
has been a fall of about a foot.-
