Dugan of the district court yesterday decided ~what is known as the Carrico water rate case in favor of the city of Minden. ] F. L. Carrico refused to pay his water rent for two years or more claiming that he would not pay until those in offices, such as lawyers and and dentists were compelled to pay. His water was shut off and he was compelled to pay to get water. Mr. Carrico then commenced an ac- tion 4n mandamus to compel the mayor to enforce the ordinances by collecting water rentals from office people and others, contending that they were served free water although all water was metered. The Mayor contended that the ordinance had re- ceived such construction for more than nine years and that such admin- istrative construction was sufficient to give the interpretation it had been given. The court decided in favor of the mayor, H. P. Andersen. J. L. Mc- Pheely, M. D. King and F. L. Carrico appeared as attorneys for relator and C. P. Anderberry for the mayor. Notice of appeal was given.

INJUN OTION_IShOONTINUED ‘ Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 3.—The injunc- tion suit of the Nebraska Railway commission against the railroads of the state, prohibiting them from put- ting into effect a schedule_approved by the Interstate Commerce commis- sion, was argued before the supreme court this evening, and the case taken under advisement. A temporary re- straining order, issued a week ago against the roa nd which expired this evening, was continued by the court, The case is an offshoot of the hearing in the federal court at Sioux Falls, S. D, last Saturday, in which three federal judges decided they had jurisdiction, but delayed a final ruling until a further hearing was held in the district federal court at Omaha the 16th of this month. The railroads objected to the juris- diction of the Nebraska supreme court, and the ruling continuing the injunction is interprcted to mean that whatever decision is reached at Oma- ha will end the case, so far as the state court is concerned. |Bible Study Course " In North Platte High is Popular North Platte, Neb., Oct. 3.—(Spe- cial)—Bible study is proving attrac- tive to many students of North Platte High school.
