' Bridge Company Must I Try Damage Suit in ! V. Fremont, Court Rules Fremont, Neb., Julx 2. (Special.) Denying the motion for a change of venue, District Judge A. M. Post has ruled that the second trial of the suit of Robert Z. Drake of Omaha .against Dodge county for damages f of $11,000 must be tried in Fremont. Drake claims the money as princi pal and interest for work done by the SStandard Bridge company at North Bend in 1912, after the" Platte river floods. In overruling the motion, the judge dismissed Drake's charges that propaganda has been used , against him, and that no Dodge county tax payers could serve with fairness on the jury. These charges involve .County Supervisor P. J. Flanagan, boss" of the board, who is fight ing him, according to Drake, because the latter refused Flanagan a "loan" of $3,000 when his claim was first presented the supervisors. Drake did the bridge work in 1912 without a contract, when the Platte, in changing its channel, had left high and dry a new steel bridge. The county claims, the absence of con tract makes it illegal to pay the claim, although the state has paid its half of the cost. The first jury found for the county, but the neW trial was ordered by Judge Payne. Authorize Sale of Stock -In Nebraska Corporations Lincoln, July 28. (Special.)
