Supreme Court of Nebraska to fill
the vacancy caused by the resig-
uu.iou ( of Judgfe J. J. Sullivan of
Columbus , who resigned after
erie day's service in the position
tendered liiui by Governor Shel-
dflu. Mr..Dean'a appointment is

H. Thompson of Grand Island
and' ; Fred Free of Plamview.
Mr. Dean has had strong-support
hp'lh in 'petitions and personal'
friends who appeared before the
governor. A strong delegation
of Caster county friends were all i i
the state capital during the day I
and evening of the appointment' '
and left no stone unturned in Mr. \
Dean's interest. Though the in- '
formation-comes from unofficial
sources it is understood that in
the earlydays oj the , past week
the four aspirants above named ,
including Mr. Dean , were con
sidered out of the running and a
"dark horse" was under consider'
atioh. Circumstances developed
according to'.well authenticated
rumor , which made the naming
of a "dark" horse" inadvisable ,
aiid brought the original candi
dates back on the board for con
sideration. The good work and
slrongYccominendations of Mr.
Dean's friends and supporters at
thifl opportune time no doubt hud
* tuuch.to do with his final selec-
lio.U to this honorable and im
portant position.

bers of the Supreme Court who
were in Lincoln called on him at
his hotel and extended their comp
liments and congratulations.

Thieves entered Pete Simmon-

through a back window and se
cured about five to len dollars in

that they made , an unsuccessful

securing the contents of the
