"Receiver Frank H. Young o f the

gained frotn Judge Mungor per
mission to bring nuit against Assessor -
sossor W. H. Osborn of that place
to compel'him to assess property ot
the city at its actual value. The
showing made by the receiver is
that the city agreed to levy a seven-
mill tax to moot the city's obliga-
tionB for hydrant rental , but that
the assessor , "oonapring with cer
tain citizens of Broken Bow. " pro
posed to aafloss property at less than
one fourth of its value and thereby
reduce the amount that the water
company would receive " World

The I acts are the one fourth as
sessment is not a conspiracy be
tween Broken I3ow assesor and HO mo
of our citizens but a gigantic fraud
perpetrated by the whole state. If

The Commencement Exorclscu.
The commencement exorcises of
Broken Bow High schools hold in
the opera house lam Friday night
was a highly successful affair.
There wore sixteen of the graduat
ing class , the largos' number of any
previous yoar. The attendance as'
is usually the cane was largo and
the program was carried out with
out a viHiblo mistake. Prof.
AdauiHon and his rblo corps of
teachers have reason to fuel proud
of the clans of 1000 because of the
personal high Htauding of itH mem
bers and of the attainments and the
excellent manner in which they
acquitted themselves in the oxer-
CISOH of the evening. Quo of the
features of the evening aside from
the orations that was highly plea-
ing was the Rain Bow drill by the
pupils of the primary grades. The
orations , of each of the members
were good and well delivered
and to specially mention either
without including all would be
an injustice. The speech made by
lion. A. It. Humphrey , in the per-
sentation of the doplomas was an
able effort.
