at this point that the body was found.
The wagon had a high box and sur
mounting this was a Rprlng seat on
which Mr. McFadden rode. How tho
accident happened will never be
known, but It Is surmised that in go
ng down into tho ditch, tho lurch
throw Mr. McFadden forward. Tho
top of his head evidently struck the
wagon tongue, for thero was a bad
bruise and on ono side of the head
was another bruise and fracture sup
posed to hnvo resulted from the hoof
of one of the horses. A few minutes
following the accident tho dead body
was found by a farmer going into
town, with tho team standing a short
distance away. The body was taken
Paxton, and tho family notified.
Mr. and Mrs. Mike- McFadden had been
in North Plntte and had lust started
home, and Mrs. Stafford, a daughter
was here at the time. W. R. Maloney
and Rev. Father McDald went to Pax
ton on train No. 17 that evening. The

Frank McFadden came to North
Matte In 1888, stopped over a day or
two, went to the U, S. land office and
entered a claim, which Is now a part of
the McFadden ranch, and taking pos
session of the land gathered around
him a few head of cattle. Ho was a
tireless worker, a good business man,
and his herd of cattle and his acres of
land Incrased yparly, until at the time
of his death Frank McFadden was a
wealthy man. y
The Tribune editor was ihtfraately
acquainted with Frank McFadden for
a quarter of a century and he attests
the sterling worth of this man who
though lacking tho polish of some,
had a heart as big as a mountain;
whose word was as good as his bond;
whose friendship was worth while and
whose honesty and Integrity was unquestioned.

Concert Poorly Patronized
Tho concert given nt tho Keith Sat
urday evening by tho hoys' and girls'
glee clubs of the high school attract
ed a very small audience, not cx
cedtng fifty occupying seats down
stairs: Both clubs did exceedingly
well, each number being encored, and
in addition to the musical parts, two
very clever stunts were put on by
the boys. It Is regrettable that tho
people of the town do not show moro
loyalty to the high school students.
Tho program rendered Saturday even

part of the members of the two clubs
and the instructors, and was deserv

that future efforts along this lino by
