COUNT* COLLECTIONS, CLEVELAND CLATTER. - The Beaver is enjoying a big boom, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Robertson are happy. - It’s a 14ft boy. Farmers have started the plow. The prospect is good for a large harvest, Mr. E. Cleveland has let his deeded slum and will occupy his homestead. C. S. Blanchard and C. 0. Gray, of Keys Paha, gave Cleveland a call a few lay* ago. Jack Simmttps is the wealthiest man in the place. He was presented a few lays since with a bouncing pair of twins. lawyer Cleveland, of O’Neill City, has been spending a few days at his fathers. He is lively and enjoys himself under my circumstances. FORD FEELERS. Hr. Powers has partly built, but ow ing to the last storm is unable to finish. Hr. Hoore will build as soon as the roads get so he can haul his lumber from ffeligh. Mr. Porterfield has his lumber at Hr. Swing’s to build bis house, and only waits for good weather. There is po sickness here now, only bad colds are all the rage and ore enter tained by the best of families. High water did you say J Well, we have enough and to spare. We could Jo without it, bqt as we hate it We must put up with ii. The building boom at Ford is simply immense. We have several good car pouters with ns, and they stand ready to do all kinds of work in their line. A great many are out of hay at Ford. So much for the delusive idea of a mild winter. It will serve as a bitter lesson to some that the time to make hay is when they sun shines. There was but a few, and * very few, who put up bay enough to fped their stock. Some have been buying bay since about the first of January. That does not apeak well for them aa farmers. This winter baa been hard on some cattle, that is thcue that have had good shelter, bqt those that had good sheds end plenty of bay will some gut all right How much better it would be if we all had good sheds, and it would be well before another winter to tee that we do have them. Hare after the flood, ' U. Ha BASILS MILLS MATTER8. Basils Mars, In, April 10th, 1881. The lark, robin and other harbingers of spring, put in an appearance some time since. Geo. A. Brooks returned from Chica go test week, where he has been to pur •/_ •’ i .\,Jt chan* th* spring and suHMpea.stt|r!l( ol goods fur the house of which be is the head. A Tery pleasant masquerade was giv en at Gen. Steinfeldt’a last week. At though not rery numerously attended, being a private affair, yet for the variety of costumes and (he creditable manner in whiab the different characters were sustained, it was a decided success. Basils Mills, tired of depending oc (ha mails for reading matter, baa come to the conclusion to have a paper of its own. It is to belhe JTno* Ontnlg 71am, and expects to make its first appearance early in May. The lumber for the build* ing baa come, and work. will be com menced on it nest weeks* The .presses and other material is at PlainView await ing transportation. Dr. Barrett, wife and family, of Nio brara, have been putting up~ at the Brooks house the last week. They oon pluded it was most too moist in that town during the reranl flood and very wisely concluded to seek more comfor table quarters, den. Geinborne, the well known barber of the same place, 'arrived at the same conclusion, and is now engaged In inducing-the bair and beards of the natives hereabouts to a reasonable length. A few other families are also stopping in this neighborhood until the water subsides, 'iv: *« S. ' f - SEHldOCXSIOXMA Niobrara Nuggets., ’ (From the N«nJ Mr. Miehener inform* u* that be i* finding the most of his lumber ■ that floated away, and say* that $1,000 will cover his entire loss. ' - There was some pilfering done during the excitement attending the flood, but the offenders are all marked and will receive their reward in due season. . Honse moving is the order of the dry. Several dwelling have been moved on Messrs. Lamont and Hulliben’s addition to Niobrara, and quite a number have contracted for removal as soon as the mud has dried up. The following-named gentlemen were elected trustees of the village of Nio brara at the election held on Tuesday, April 6th: H. D. Palen, H. E. Bonesteel, 0. Perrine, G. W. Douglas and J. C. San tee. There was no opposition. One of the coolest men during the flood was Joseph Hokey, chief clerk in Bonesteel & Turner’s general merchan dise establishment. By his prudent management he saved the firm several thousand dollars. . A. L. Towle, propretor of the Hub bard House, is keeping a bachelor ea- ‘ tablisbment with James A. Cooley as assistant, the feminine portion of the establishment having been sent to Plum Valley during the flood andjiave not returned. John Schumaker, the genial boat of the Banda House, has vacated the build ing in consequence of the unsafe condi tion of the walls, and is comfortably located in the City Hotel, where he is prepared to entertain his numerous friends and the public generally; - Several buildings have been removed to Lamont's and Hullihen’s proposed town site, which is conceded to be the best point on the Niobrara bottom for a town. There is no better location in Northern Nebraska for business houses or residences. Mr. Hulliheu's cellar is seven feet deep and has been perfectly dry during the flood. Malls are nearly suspended on account of the flood. No Yankton mail has been received since March 29th. No mail over the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul R.R., since Jan. 19th. O’Neill City daily route manages to make three trips per week. The Niobrara and Pieree route is promptly ou time since W. Cnrismau has taken charge of it. Also Central City and Paddock carriers are making regular trips. [From the Pioneer.) Owing to the flood the term of the district court, which should have begun yesterday, will be postponed. We have not learned for how long. Quite a num ber of jurymen are in town. About 80 Poncas orer-ran the town yesterday, plundering and carrying off all the drowned animals they could find. One was found plundering a dwelling bouse but two shots fired at him made him climb empty handed. The future Niobrara is talked of. Sur veyor Barber is now surveying an addi tion to Niobrara on the Witte bench south of town, where a number of our citizens have taken the matter of extend ing the town in band. The Pioneer does not care to take the lead in building any new towns. It has done its share for the past seven years in building Nio brara that has just gone through a try ing ordeal. If the business men move The Pioneer moves—in other words, where the business goes we will go. But we recommend strongly the removal of Niobrara if it can be done safely to the interests of Nioorara, and urge unity in this matter. Let us not have two rival towns and result in no town at all. In unity there is strength. Bummer's Bilk. ' * Yakkton, D. T., April 6th, 18*1, Editor ruirnii: 111 my business as drummer for a Chi cago house I am called to different parts of Dakota and Nebraska, as well as Illi nois and Kansas. Before starting out on a run up the Missouri and Niobrara rivers my attention was called to your "God’s Country” article and some of my friends, who are talking of migrating westward this spring, w:sbed me to take a good look at the country and report. I did the best I could to look at the country without prejudice and I found that for variety of scenery, noli soil, pore air, clean, soli water, and prospects for railroad facilities, you have not over estimated the advantages. My trip took me west of the western boundary of Holt county, as laid down on the maps, as far a* the “bridge," as Newport is called by settlers m that vicinity. From there east bajc to Holt county the laird is most all of it No. 1 for the farmer's use. I Stopped over one night oa A*h creek and learned that the settled there 'fere fCUing,tiled of thtwayHolt county uses diem. I will meutkm one pieiniiei ol theirs aa it «m related to me some time in December. Mr. James T. Woods, Jiving on Ash creek, ms notified by lias Honor-,. Judge Malloy, to appear in a suit wherein one Cook (a ranchman) was plaintiff; and A T. Woods was dci fendant. It waa si-replevin suit. Well, Mr. Woods went to O’Neill City to attend the suit but no plaiulifl, sheriff or judge appeared that bitter cold day and Mr. Woods started back home thinking that waa the last of It. On his way home he nailed on Judge Mally who said, HI went out to hitch up my team and while wat ering my bones I frose my ears and I concluded I would not go to O’Neill for any damned court in Nebraska." Now comes in the point of the joke. The •Sassrd informs its readers that Judge Malloy’s court in Match found a verdict against defendant in suit Cook vs. Woods. I waa told that Mr. Woods is ready to quafify before any tribunal that be has never, since December, received any notice, summons, or paper of any kind, from any judge, clerk of the court, sheriff or oouneff for the plaintiff, in any manner, to appear and defend in any suit in Holt oounty, hod yet the JRtcord tells him the esse has been decided against him. I can heartily recommend Holt county to all who arc Joking for free farm* in the west, that-when mia takes incident to new Countries die rec tified, when ail the improvements now contemplated are made, when Long Fine, Beaver, fish and Plum creeks have each their mills, that county of yours will be more of a "God’s oountry” than any part of our great Northwest that I have seen. Btnpin, Card from Jo. Mall. j" ,> To the Editor of The Frontier. • ? ? i You will please publish the following for the benefit of all whom it may oo» cem: A great deal has been said in regud to the killing of Barney Kearns. 1 do not pro]>ose to speak of that lamentable affair, but of what has occurred since,, that being the origin. I was at Neligh at the time of the shooting. Shortly after I returned to O’Neill a notice was posted on my building prohibiting the further sale of whisky, and signed “Vig ilance Committee," which had a ten dency to agitate my feelings somewhat. This had about subsided when again notices were posted np around town with my name signed to them, contain ing all kinds of threats of What I would do. That I know nothing of. The per son or persons who did it, friend or foe, are without principle,, Any person with common sense can at once see the inconsistency and weakness of that which was contained iii the notices. I do not offer this as an apology for anything I hare said or done, but sim ply to show what I have not done. 1 am satisfied parties are busy on both sides trying to keep up trouble, and some of them consider themselves lead ing men in the county. I am sorry this is so, and only hope they will take a tumble and let. things pass off quietly. 40wl Bespectfully, Jox Hiu. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. notice; fob publication.
