IS NOT WORKING FOR NORFOLK
*
It Is Reported That Congressman Kin-
kald , Rather Than Allow Norfolk to
Serve as Court City for This Section ,
Will Fight Bill.
Rather than allow people from lho
northern and western part of the state
to como to Norfolk for federal court ,
Congressman KlnUald Is In favor of
, keeping Ihlngs as they are now and
i ( recognizing only Omaha as a federal
' court point , according to a special dis
patch In the Omaha Boo. Congress
man Klnkald wants Valentino named
and says that unless this Is done , ho
will attempt to kill the measure which
had given hope to Norfolk that real
terms of federal court might bo held
i. , here.
| [ i "People of Rock , Keya Palm , Brown
and Cherry counties , " says lho Sixth
district congressman , "would rather
go on Into Omaha than stop at Nor
folk , when they once got started. "
And so the matter hangs In the bal
ance , and no relief may bo glvon , as
n result of this attitude.
