OMAHA BANK GIVEN JUDGMENT FOR $7,400 Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 21.— (Special) —The Stock Yards National bank of Omaha was given judgment by the supreme court today against the guaranty fund for $7,400 on a certificate of deposit it holds in the closed Brown County bank of Long Pine. This certificate was issued to square a transaction between the two banks. The Omaha bank had bought a $23,000 cattle mortgage from the other bank, signed by E. M. Sandy. The latter, with the knowledge of the Long Pine bank, but without notice to the Omaha bank, sold $7,400 worth of the cattle. The proceeds went to his credit in the Long Pine bank. When the Omaha bank found it out it demanded the payment, but the Brown County bank didn't have the money and so gave a certificate of deposit. The supreme court says this was the same as money deposited, overturning the district court.

LINCOLN SELLS 13-CENT GAS Governor Bryan First City Customer—Other Dealers Two Cents Higher Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 21. (Special)—City Commissioner Cowgill, without waiting for the council to give him authority to do so, started selling gasoline at retail from the city's own supply station. Governor Bryan was the first customer, and reporters and a photographer were present. The station is selling at 13 cents, the same as the state, while other dealers are asking 15 1-4 cents. Mr. Cowgill says this is a quarter of a cent more than they should ask, and that he started selling because of this fact. The city attorney says that Cowgill is acting without authority. The voters at the late election gave the city power to go into the retail selling of gasoline, but the council has not acted. Mr. Cowgill has had an ordinance drawn for early presentation giving him power to do what he has already done.

From all indications the young man had committed suicide. Examination by the authorities proved that he had taken the car belonging to his father on Sunday evening without the knowledge of his parents and contrary to instructions from them. He had been out late in the evening and overturned the car. It was also learned that he had been drinking. The body of Bartholomew was found lying near the exhaust of the car; all doors to the garage were closed.
