Killen, wherein the defendant appealed the claim of Mr. Kretsinger for 3516, allowed by the county board as fee in the Sparks case, was won by the plain- tiff, the jury bringing in a verdict for the full amount with interest from January last. About three years ago Mr. Kretsinger wus engaged by the county board to as- sist 8. D. Killen in the prosecution of J. H. Sparks, the bridge contractor. After the case was disposed of Judges Pember- ton and Raper awarded him @& his fee the sum of $§16. The claim was allowed by the county board, but Mr. Killen appealed from thelr action, clalming that Mr. Kretsinger did not earn the fee allowed, for the rea- son that he persisted in prosecuting the case after Killen had cited authorities, showing that there was no chance for the | county to win the case. This Mr. Kret- singer strenuously denled, alleging that at no time during the sult, which was heard in federal court, did Mr. Killen show a dis- position to cease prosecution and make a settlement with Sparks.

Some weeks ago, when the attorney general exam- ined the witnesses of this company, it W brought out that for six months of the tinancial year the net earnings of the road for purely Nebraska business was $1,43L13. A few days ago the testimony introduced by this same road shows that the earnings for the year, including that first slx months, was only $101L67, showing that evidently the road must have lost money during the last six months of its business in this state.

We have two towns that want the school, but it is our opinion they stand little chance to get it, so our sympathies are with Chadron.” Cupld Gets Normal Teachers.
