Argument was made this morning before State Engineer Wilson by D. C. Patterson o Omaha , representing the Seymour Park Cana company , In support of the protest ngalns the granting of the claim of the Fremon Canal nnd Power company. The protes made by the Omaha people is based on th allegation that the plans for the Frcmon canal contemplate the construction of larg reservoirs , their objection being that th company should bo prohibited from storln nator from the Plutto river during the mini mum flow , except for irrigating purposes 1 water at any tlmo Is needed for bencficla purposes down the stream.

Rose , during the hearing o Ihe Omaha side of the case this morning an interposed a similar objection. Mr. Thomp son ias filed a claim for permission to ru an irrigating ditch along parallel with th Fremont canal , but it Is understood that h does not Intend to construct the ditch If th plans for the Fremont canal are carried through , his object In filing the claim being to establish priority over other applicants , jfibould any come forth. The Board of Public Lands and Buildings today accepted the plans drawn by Roberts & Wood of this city for the now wing of the Lincoln asylum. The legislature appro priated J40.000 for the construction of the addition and the contract price will probably be $37,000.

A bitter fight was precipitated by the close result of the primary Saturday last n the Scond ward nt Beatrice. The contenting delegations hero were rep resented by Colby nnd Pcmborton on one side nnd I'rout and Sabln on the other , all as pirants for the county delegation to the ludlclat convention. The former were aided in their fight by ex-Senator Murphy and County Attorney Rlnaker and when they were defeated by a narrow margin of two , filed with the county convention a contest for the seats of the delegation. Their opponents , aided by the possession of credentials'last night In caucus , got In on the temporary or ganization. When the convention convened today the fight proved to have only begun nnd In the effort of Colby and his friends to secure seats i disgraceful row occurred. Motion after mo tion was fought with bitter determination to win by both sides , much of the action of the convention being Test In the continuous uproar. The aid of the police was finally Invoked to preserve order , but they were powerless nnd It was only when the con testants lost strength or occasionally ac cepted defeat that the convention vyns able to proceed. Charges and counter-charges were made and for minutes the delegates howled thcm- slves hoarse in an endeavor to howl down this or that would-be speaker. When a sem. bianco of order was finally secured the order of the cull was proceeded with. Seven bal lots were taken on a choice for district Judge , W. C. Lehnno finally receiving a majority. The district Judgeshlp disposed of the nom ination of county officers was taken up. Upon motion the rules were suspended and 0. W. Maurer was nominated for treasurer by ac clamation. Fred Bourne of Beatrice and C. S. Otis of Blue Springs were brought before the convention for county Judge. Bourne was nominated on the first ballot by a vote of 16S to 80. For sheriff Ben Skinner , C. W. McCuI- lough and Jack Ashenfeltcr were voted upon , Skinner receiving the nomination on the first ballot with a large majority over both op ponents. One iballot settled the district clerkship , J. A. Weaver receiving 154 to DO for C. A. Burroughs. For school superin tendent 'A. ' R. Stoller was nominated by ac clamation. Three candidates for coroner were presented , James Lcary , J. Q. Reed and W. 0. Smith. After two ballots had been taken , on the last of which Reed was within ono vote of a nomination , he was , on mo tion , given the nomination. The nomina tion of Willis Ball for surveyor completed the ticket. A resolution was offered and adopted em powering'the central committee to fill all vacancies occurring and the selection of a chairman was left to the candidates. When the convention adjourned less than a half dozen delegates remained In the hall. The committee to select delegates to the state convention had not reported , but a motion was made and carried by the few who had remained to the effect that their report bo adopted and bo so certified to by the chair man and secretary. While the early part of the convention was bitterly contested and resulted in many things being said and done which are doubtless now regretted by all participants the nominees of the convention will be elected with old-time majorities.
