claim for $45,000 against the defunct
Merrlam-Mlllard Grain company by
describing in detail his transactions
with the company at a hearing before
It H. Dunham, referee in bankruptcy,

When the company filled, with lia

the creditors, sold the grain covered
by the warehouse receipts and de
posited the money to young Millard s

The creditors then protested and at
tached this money, which is now hpld
in the assets of the company.

however, held the instrument to be

insufficient. The second prosecution
is now under way.
W. T. Thompson of Lincoln, special

the jury in his opening statement that
the state would show that the defend

it was opened in the county court
here and that the signature of the
testator and (hunt S. Watkins a*

School Board Not Interested.
"The school board does not interest
itself with the details of placing text
books in the school." said Dr. Jennie
Cal If as of the Sosrd. "We leave this
entirely to the superintendent. I was
informed recently of the books refer
red to by Kirkpatrick. It seems to me
that If there were any better histories
Superintendent Beveridge would ob
tain them. He has a free hand in the
matter and I believe he would do his
best to obtain the best histories and
other text books."
Dr. J. II. Wallace of the school
board said he would not comment on
the case until he had Investigated the
[mint raised by Kirkpatrick.
President R A. Van Orsdel of
irhool hoard said: ' I don't know any
thing alcout the case. We leave the
•election of text books to the super
ntendent.

surely the right thing for mo. I took
four bottles then and in the fail of the
year l took three. 1 had been treated
by a doctor hut he gave me an iron
