LINCOLN, Dee. J. (8peclal.) The nwi.
piper of Kearney are Just now oonsider
ably agitated because of a story In thla
column several days ago In retard to the
new normal achool to be located at that
place. The story told In effect of com
mittee of Kearney cltlsena which appeared
before the Normal board and eecured modi
ncatlon. of the old plana adopted by lhe
board for the repair of the Oreeu Terrace
flata to be uaed aa a dormitory, which modi
fication will aave the people of Kearney
about S3.0O0. The atory told aleo thit thla
waa not done without a proteat from mem-
bars of the board, who objected to Kearney
"gigging- back. The newapapera of that
city atated that the facta had been mlarep-
resented.
in oroer mat ne newspapers 01 Kearney
may be put right with the recorda and that
they may know that only facts were

When Kearney flrat aubmttted Its proposi
tion to the board there was In Its subsidy,1
among other thing, a donation, of 11.000
to be uaed In repairing the flats In question.
This the board said waa not aufflcient and
the enterprising cltlsena of the successful
town at once filed a bond with the board
for 110,004 to cover any expense Incident to
the repairs that the board might direct.
This portion of the contract ehowe what the
citliens agreed to do:
The condition of thla obligation la such
that If the aforesaid princlpala, being the
committee representing the city of Kearney,

On November T the board' adopted plans

That there was considerable argument In
the matter la not dlaputed by the board
members. , who say that the time given
the committee. C. H. Oregg and A. O.
Thomas, who, by ths way, had prevloualy
signed the $10,000 bond, occupied the entire
attention of ths board and there was
nothing elae accomplished except a little
routine msttsr.
; - Delays tko Bolldlaa;
Incidentally that committee has saved
'the people of Kearney who slgnsd that
bond $3,000. but It has also delayed the
building of the normal school. It waa ths
intention of the board, as voiced by ons
of the members, to take up the normal
school matter at the last .meeting and rash

work on the bul.dtng aa soon aa possible. I

CREIOHTON. Dee. 25. (Special Tele-
gram.) One of the moat peculiar cases In
ths history of the atate has Just come to
light In the town of Verdigris, north of here.
About three months ago a quiet appearing
man who gave the name of Ernet Johnson
appeared here and secured work on the
Jackson ranch near town. He was steady
and a good worker and was speedily In the
good graces of his employer. He never
said anything about his past but a there
waa nothing mysterious In Ms actions no
one thought anything about Oils.
About three weeks sgo officers from Iowa
camo to ' town and made Inquiries con
cerning Johnson and whers he could be
found. Johnson learned of their presence
and. disappeared as completely as though
the earth had swallowed htm up. The
whole country was searched by the officers
and no trace of the mah could be found and
ths officers finally gave up the hunt and
returned to Iowa. They atated Johnson waa
wanted in his former Iowa home on the
charge of criminal assault and murder
and that they had been on Johnson' trail
for four months before locating him at
Verdigris.
The rase wa a seven days wonder In
the town but was gradually being forgotten
until a few days ago. The teachers and
pupils In the public achool building at Ver
digris noticed sn offenalve odor which grew
tronger from day to day until finally it
became neceaaary to dismiss school on ac
cout of It and some of the men started an
Investigation to ascertain the cause. In the
garret of the school building the body of
Johnson was found hanging and from Its
condition It was evident thst he had gone
to the school building and hung himself
on learnjng that the Iowa officers were
after hi in. The body was cut down, the
Iowa people notified and on their request
sent to his former Iowa home for burial.
An effort was made to keep the affair
secret for fear the children would not at
tend school In the building if they knew
the facts but it could not be kept from
the public.
