bought the J. M. Hutchlnson residence
property , formerly the E. C. Million
property , and will take possession the
first of September. Mr. McBrlde
found It necessary to make a move , as
the largo Vail house which ho has been
occupying had been sold to John
Sward , who was to have possession
the fore part of September , and this
was his solution of the situation. In
acquiring this property Mr. McUrldo
gets one of the bebt and most desir
able homes In Elgin. Mr. Hutchinson
Is In Lincoln since the sale looking up
a location there , having decided to
cast his lot in the capital city , where
school privileges and advantages are
numerous. Wo understand he expects
to move there on or about September
1. Many will regret the departure of
Mr. and Mrs. Hutchlnson and their
bright family of young people , but will
hope that their lot may be cast amid
pleasant surroundings and circum
stances.

NORTH NEBRASKA DELEGATES
HAVE RETURNED HOME.
ROSEWATER NOW IS FOR BROWN
Editor of the Bee , Who Made Such a
Hard Fight for the Senatorial Nomi
nation , Coco Home and Supports the
Man Who Was Chosen ,
Northern Nebraska delegates who
attended the Lincoln republican state
convention , have practically all
reached their homes , tired out with
the heal of the convention hall nnd
fatigued with the long strain of the
convention battle.
In the Iliuil ticket north Nebraska
drew several places , among which
wore nominations for treasurer , which
wont to 11 rln n of Albion ; railroad com-
mlsHloner , Williams of Pierce ; Hope-
well of Tokamah , lieutenant governor.
Hoyd eounty'B candidate , Robert Lynn ,
was defeated.
Edward Ilosowntcr , editor of the
Omaha Hoe , has resumed his newspaper -
paper work In Omaha after a hard
political campaign. Mr. Rosewater ,
In his Issue of Friday morning , dis
cussing the Lincoln convention In
which Nnrrlfl Brown was nominated
over him , gives his support to Urown ,
declares himself more firmly than over
for self government and gives a hint
that Senator Ilurkctl may expect a
battle four years hence. Editorially ,
the Heo Hays :
It was a foregone conclusion that
ono of the two leading candidates for
United States senator would bo in
dorsed by the convention. The choice
fell to Attorney General Norrls Brown ,
whoso persistent campaign was ably
managed to benefit by the resentment
of the great mass of taxpayers against
the railroad tar shippers , and the in
cidental popular feeling against trusts
In general nnd the grain trust In par
ticular. Though entirely new to the
Held of national politics , Mr. Drown
will measure up well with the men
who have recently represented Ne
braska there. Ho will doubtless wage
a vigorous campaign to carry a repub
lican legislature that will ratify the
convention's choice.
Senator Hurkott very discreetly
viewed the battle In Nobarska at long
range. Four years from now he will
confront a lion in IIH ! path , and his
name spells "Omaha. "
The editor of The Hoc Is out of the
senatorial contest , but he Is In the con
test for popular self-government and
against corporate domination more
than over.

BOTH SONS SHARE IN ESTATE OF
THEIR FATHER.
PROPERTY ALL WILLED TO ONE
Estate Includes Four Hundred Acres
of Land Adjoining and a Part of the
Town of Nlobrara Settled Out of
Court on Saturday.
Niobrnra , Neb. , Aug. 27. Special to
The News : The Lament will case ,
which was to have been held at Cen
ter next Wednesday before the county
judge , was settled out of court here
Saturday. It Involved about 400 acres
of land adjoining and part of the town
between the nrteslon well race and
the Northwestern depot. It Is claimed
that William Lnmont made his will
only twelve days before his death , In
which ho left all his estate to his eld
est son , Frank , and ignoring the young
er son , Scott. Ho had seen neither of
the boys since the early 'CD's , when
their mother left and took them with
her to her old Pennsylvania home ,
where they wore educated and given
trades. On his deathbed Lament sent
for the oldest son , who was with him
at the time of his death and settled
the estate for himself. Scott came on
early in the summer to investigate
matters and engaged counsel to break
the will. Negotiations recently fol
lowed , and Saturday's meeting of coun
sel for both sides gave Scott his equal
share in the estate save some personal
property allowed the elder brother to
retain.

A aln The Week's Weather Was
Against Much Activity In Any Line.
i' his been a dull woolc in Norfolk ,
Hocl".y as well as every other way.
Perhaps the republican state conven
tion was responsible for the lull. More
probably , though , the hot weather dur
ing the forepart and the cold weather
and mud during the after part of the
week , were responsible. With this
cool weather a regular thing , though ,
there are Indications that things will
take n brace now before very long
and give now life to things social.
Before long waitmualc nnd the

Lloyd and Gladys Cole entertained
about thirty of their young friends
Saturday evening at a lawn party nt
the home of their parents , Dr. and

the time and delicious refreshments
were served.
On Thursday night a few friends
dropped in at the homo of Mr. and
Mrs. C. H. Reynolds to spend the
evening In surprise party fashion.
The occasion was the birthday of the
hostess. Bridge whist was enjoyed
for several rounds , after which a light
lunch , brought In the old fashioned
surprise party way. was served.
On Monday Lawrence Hoffman was
very pleasantly surprised by n large
number of The Heights young people.
The event was In honor of his 18th
birthday and also a farewell party to
him as he is about to leave for Lin

were used ns amusements of the even
ing , after which light refreshments
were served.
The feature of the week was the
barn dance given last night nt the
farm of Burt Mapes , four miles north
of the city , for Elks and their fami
lies. Both the barn floor for dancing ,
and the music of the big concert phon
ograph wcio novelties that proved at
tractive to a considerable number of
persons , despite the muddy night and
the threatening clouds. Some went in
their own carriages , while others were
conveyed tr > the farm in carry-alls.
Lemonade cooled the throats of thirs
ty ( lancers. All in all it was one of
the jolllest informal parties given in
some time here , and the fun was en
joyed until a late hour , the drive back
to the city being one of the pleasant
incidents of the evening.

CAN SIDEWALK BE TORN UP WITHOUT -
OUT CONDEMNATION NOTICE ?
B. HIGHT IS THE PLAINTIFF
*
Oscar Rlchey , Street Commissioner , Is
Made Defendant In Case Tore up
Walk on Order of Mayor , Who Says
It Was Dangerous at the Time.
Is the city street commissioner crim
inally liable for tearing up a sidewalk
on authority of the mayor before
thirty days' notice is given to the
property owner ? This is the legal
point which was settled yesterday af
ternoon in a jury trial held In Justice
Eiseloy's court . B. Ilight is the plain
tiff and City Street Commissioner Os
car Rlchey the defendant.
It Is alleged by the complainant that
the sidewalk along his lots on North
Ninth street , between Norfolk avenue
and Koenlgsteln avenue , was torn up
by the street commissioner before
proper notice had been given to Hight
that the walk was condemned. Ho
therefore swore out n complaint
against Rlchey on the charge of wil
fully destroying property.
The defendant claims that he acted ,
under instructions of Mayor Friday In
tearing up the walk ; that the walk
had been condemned and was danger
ous ; and that it was condemned three
years ago by the city council.
The walk was torn up soon after
two persons in Norfolk had fallen on
defective walks and been so badly In
jured that two good sized damage suits
were brought against the city.
It is alleged by the defendant that
the walk was dangerous , that side
walks belong to the city , and that ho
had given personal notice to the lot
owner to remove the walk.
The plaintiff claims that the walk
Is personal property and that the law
requires he shall be given thirty days'
ofllcial notice after the walk is con
demned , before the walk can be re
moved by the city.
The jury in the case is as follows :
E. B. Kauffmann , August Brummund
and Dr. C. F. W. Marquardt. City At
torney Weatherby appeared for the
defendant and. County Attorney Koen-
Igstein for the plaintiff.
Mr. Hight says the walk was in fair
condition , had recently been repaired
and that he wanted to wait until he
built a house before making a new
walk. He believes the walk was torn
up through spite work and swore that
he never had received any notice that
the walk had ever been condemned.
Mayor Friday swore the walk had
been dangerous and said the mayor
I
had a right , when a walk was danger
