Rev. E.E. Powell of Wymore Selected by County Judge Messmore for Place. Wymore, Neb., Jan. 28 -- Rev. Earnest E. Powell, of Wymore, has been appointed to the office of chief probation officer of Gage county, by County Judge F.W. Messmore, to fill the place made vacant by the recent death of Virgil R. McGirr, at Beatrice. The appointment is subject to the approval of the board of supervisors, but it is said the board members view the appointment with favor. In addition to being pastor of the Christian church of Wymore, Mr. Powell was a Burlington shop employe for eight years, up to last July, at which time he went on strike with his fellow workmen. At the time of the strike, he took active part in leading the shopcall, and has made strong speeches and appeals in the cause of the men, in many mass meetings here, and other division points in southwestern Nebraska. Early in the strike here, he offered to resign his pastorate, fearing that his attitude in strike matters would not harmonize with the views of his congregation but his resignation was turned back, and he found himself clothed in increased favor.
