MICKEY APPEALS TO COURT
Peoidei to Eriaar Quo Warranto Proceeding!
in Norfolk Cue.
LITTLE CHANCE OF ACTION BEFORE 1907
As Court Does Not Meet TJatll Septem
ber Verdict Not Likely Before
Terms of Goveraor, aad
Doctors Esplr.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 13 (Special. )-The or
der of Governor Mickey for Dr. Alden and
lr. Nicholson to get out of the Norfolk
aKyluni and turn Its management over to
Dr. Young of Lincoln, having fallen upon
deaf ears, the governor, through Dr. Young,
will Institute quo warranto proceedings to
oust them. Inasmuch as the supreme court
will not. convene before September It Is
likely the case will still be In the courts
lung after Governor Mickey la attending
to his cattle down on his Iowa farm.
"Some people will be disappointed," said
the. governor, "because ' I did not throw
the two men out, and I think I have that
right, but I Just concluded to follow the
beaten paths and go Into the courts. That
has hren done before and It Is safe. It
might be possible If I threw them out they
would have a personal damage suit or they
might enjoin paying the salary tto Dr.
Young and In that way It would get Into
the courts anyhow, so I think my plan Is
the best one.
"The management Is running along very
well, though there Is a lack of discipline
and organization. I have no doubt Dr.
Alden Is a good physician, but he Is not a
good manager or executive. I really felt
sorry for him because I think he has been
III advised. I really believe were It not
for his attorneys he would have given up
his office yesterday. lie talked that way
at first and then left the room and I sup
pose talked with his attorneys, for he
came back and said he would not give up
his place."
Lcttoa Bark from Canada.
Judge C. B. Let ton of the supreme bench

from a business trip Into various sections
of the state. Mr. Brady Is boosting for
George W. Berge for ths .democratic) nomi
nation for governor.
"Bergs will not only be nominated, but
ha will bo elected as well. In my opinion
ha will easily gat ths nomination and Just
as easily get the election. It was only ths

Twice every year once in summer and once in winter we select from our stock what is left from the season's
suit selling small lots and odds and ends from these we deduct one-half the price exceptional price reductions
that make possible our Great Semi-Annual Half-Price Suit Sales sales that have become1 the standard by
which bargain-giving in Omaha is judged.
Our Steadily Increasing Patronage demanded as unusually complete stock this spring and summer
and it is but natural that the present time finds us with a larger surplus than ever before this surplus goes on
sale at a bona fide reduction of one-half the price.
These suits were not purchased expressly for sale purposes and have no ficticious values attached to them
simply what is left after an unusually busy season of clothes selling every garment bears- the same stamp of style, the same excellent workmanship and
the same heaping measure of honest value in materials that has always characterized our clothes nothing short but the price.

Iloan nomination for governor. Is In Lin- 1

would not hazard a guess as to what would
be the outcome of the fight In this county.
Coroner Wants His Fee.
J. E. Moore Is trying through ths me
dium of the supreme court to collect a fee
from Box Butte county for holding an
Inquest over W. II. Pepernot, who was
killed May SI, 1906, by a Burlington train.
He lost out In the district court of Box
Butte county and appealed the case. It
Is charged In the brief of William Mitch
ell, county attorney of Box Butte, that
Pepernot was killed In Cheyenne county
and his body brought twenty miles Into
Box Butte county before the Inquest was
held. Ths brief contends the railroad
company ordered the Inquest held and It
should pay the expense. Pepernot, It
holds, waa killed in Cheyenne county, and
If ths Coroner cannot get his fee from
the railroad he should sue Cheyenne
county, as Box Butte county had nothing
to do with the matter.
Waata Stepmother to Move.
Karl F. Dietsch of Butler county has
undertaken to oust from a house ha claims
to own his stepmother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Dietsch. He has got aa far as the su
preme court In his work, the stepmother
having won out In the lower court. It s
asserted In a brief filed in the supreme
court this morning that Karl Dietsch
bought from his father and his step
mother an eighty-acre farm on which was
a house. He rented the farm to his
brother and allowed his parents to live
In the house. When his father died his
stepmother spent six months visiting her
relatives, and during that time Karl
rented the house to another family. When
the stepmother came back, however, Karl
put the other famify out of the house and
put his stepmother In It again. This hap
pened In 190S. Recently, however, Karl
wanted to rent the place to another party
and It was necessary to get Mrs. Dietsch
out of the place. Mrs. Dietsch refused to
move and It is charged In the brief Karl's
brother Jacob is urging the stepmother
to stick. She asserts it was agreed be
tween Karl, herself and her husband she
was to live In ths house during her life
time, even though it was .not specified 'n
ths deed. The lower court held with her.
