The wood was found to be blazing very strongly and the flames were shooting clear to the ceiling. r.uckets were procured and if it had been possible to secure a proper water supply the fire would have lasted euly a few seconds, but as it was there was considerable delay in getting sufficient water from the pipes over the sink to put out the fire.

The new constitution of the state as well as the recent enactment of the legislature provides that the state supreme court may request the district judges of the state to sit with t he high court on hearing cases that may come before them and to review the cases that are brought to trial in the supreme court. The state supreme court yester day requested District Judge James T. Iiegley of this city to come to Lincoln Monday and take part in the deliberations of the court. This is the first time that a district judge has been so honored and the recog nition of Judge Begley is very pleas ing to the residents of this district, over which he has presided for the past six years. The work of Judge Begley on the bench of the second judicial district, composed of Cass. Otoe and Sarpy counties, has been of a very high standard and the splendid ability of the able jurist has been recognized over the state, where his decisions have reached and during his term of office he has grown to occupy the position of one of the leaders of the Nebraska bench. - ai i investment in Good, jlppearanct? i f i f j i WILL PLAY LOUISVILLE The Plattsmouth high school base ball team will leave for Louisville Thursday afternoon, where they will play the team of that place.
