A Difficulty Settle!
A matter which ha been the cause
or considerable interest to the patrons
of this school diitret was settled thin
week.
For soma time there have been dilli
culties of opinion between Prf. Myers
and Co. Supt. Burk. These ditrerences
have grown wider and wider and have
led to misunderstandings which widened
tlie IfetH'tt still farther. ..There are al
ways two sides to every case and this
is no exception. Lack of sjiace forbids
a full stauuneat of both sides besides
being unnecessary now as the case
has been nettled,
However Mr. Burk refused to grant
Prof. My res a ceitilicate and he, tiding
on the advice of the school board, (lied
a petitton Iwfore the District Court
asking fora writ of mandamus coniwll
iog him to grant a certillcate. lie took
the ground that in refusing the certi
ficate Supt Burke wui abusing - his dis
cretion. Mr. Burke simply Hied ademaoc
asking that the whole petition be puiuli
ed. The Court decided Monday that as
the stuloates plainly left the matter to
the discretion of the lk. Supt, he could
not dellne this discretion and therefor
dicmissed the case.
II iving thought the matter over care
fully and thoughtfully, Prof. Myres oiid
Supt. Burke "caiue together' Wednes
day and talked over the differences.
The result was that Supt. Burke decid
ed of his own free will to gratl ifi

It is reported thnt Barney Jordon has
had n operation performt at Beatrice
to their examinations of the creek. He
saw two dams and Mr. Sturdivant had
said to him that he would see that Mr.
Snyder d-d not get any water.
Mr. Walker and Mr. Couley testilled
in turn to having been on the premises
of Mr. Sturdivant and having seen dams
which obstructed the water and having
seeii the water liowingover the meadow.
Mr. Sturdivant thn took the stand in
hie own de fen to. 11J ten tilled that the
principal dam had been out since last
November but that he had constructed n
smaller dam so that the water would
settle and be tit for his cattle to drink.
Tli.it this dam did u l ilwU ui't the flow
of water and (hat the sediment caused
by the cattle standing in the water was
responsible for the overflow of tlie creek
on the meadow. That he had furrowed
-around -de small dam so as to allow iihe
water to return to the creek. He did
not clean out the creek because the in
junction prevented him from darning it
and it would take the most of his time to
keep it clean with a shovel. He was
questioned by the court in regard to the
u.m of a rifle and explained that he used
it because tlie men with whom he was
talking were considered bud men one of
them having served a term in the pene
eysof the suite to see that the law is en
