When Mr. Kautzman attempts to

Some of the O’Neill papers, the Inde
pendent in particular, started the divis
1 ion ball to rolling two weeks ago. and
to the surprise and disgust of the citi
zens of O’Neill the people-have again
taken the matter up, and after the next
election what is known as Holt county
will compose four good, prosperous
counties, three of which will be free
from the “O’Neill thieving ring” and
such blackmailing character assassins as
Ham Kautzman.—Ewing Democrat.
The Sun of last week in its comments
on the Holt County Bank was nothing
if not unfair. The depositors upon
whom the Sun calls to hold indignation
meetings, are themselves responsible for
the delay. £5 per cent, of them asked
the state board to allow the bank to
resume business and it necessarily took
time to examine into the affairs of the
bank and decide whether or not such a
course would be advisable, and from the
fact that the board has appointed O.O.
Snyder receiver, we take it that it waa
not satisfied with the bank’s methods of
doing business. The efforts of the Sun
to cast aspersion on Bank Examiner
Cline is not an index to the popular feel
ing in O’Neill in regard to that gentle
man. He has been very courteous and
obliging in answering problems pro
pounded by depositors, and we believe
he bears the ill will of n me of them.
' Dr. Edward McGlynn frees his mind

priests and bishops, and recites incident

article conveys a striking impression of
the Pope’s vigorous will and dominant
intellectuality.
The O’Neill Frontier having entered
upon its fourteenth year, thinks it has
the right to remark that It is no spring
chicken. The writer hereof saw the
first issue of Thb Frontier, and what
it was then and is now is much to its
credit. Right in the midst of the lead
ing weekly publications of Nebraska, it
rightly holds a place that has been won
by constant effort and untiring dili
gence in behalf of the people of O’Neill
and Holt county.—Printers’ Auxiliary,
Omaha. _
The deputy sheriff ands* large herd of
legal luminaries from O’Neill were in
Atkinson Tuesday in search of any loose
property that might be in possession of
certain parties who are sureties on the
bond of Treasurer Soott. This sudden
invasion is prima facie evidence that the
O’Neill sureties on the same instrument
are worthless, or that a spirit of malice
prompted the county attorney and his
legal advisor, M. F. Harrington, to bar
rass the Atkinson contingent on the
bond.—Graphic.
Writing of the Independent’s assertion
to the effect that Joe Bartley had trans
ferred his property to escape liability on
Scott’s bond, the Amelia Journal says:
“It is a lie from beginning to end and
just the kind of business that Kautzman
is capable of doing. Mr. Bartley in
forms the Journal that he neyer enter
tained such an idea, and there is not the
least foundation for such a rumor. The
malicious, cowardly sneak was well
aware of it at the time it was penned.
Give the fool a little more rope and he’ll
hang himself, or go to jail, where he
properly tjelongs, for criminal libel.
It may not alleviate hard times to read
these figures, but nevertheless they are
interesting, says the State Journal:
There 3,000 state and 1,300 private banks
in the United States, a total of 8,000,
somewhat diminished since May by
isolated suspensions and insolvencies,
but still in excess of 7,800, several sus
pended banks having, after suspension,
resumed. The gross deposits in nation
al banks of the United States amount to
$1,500,000,000; in state banks to $650,
000,000, and in private banks to $100,
000,000, a total of $3,250,000,000. The
gross deposits in American banks are 50
per cent, greater than the national debt,
and equal to. about 60 per cent, of all the
gold coin in the Wtirld.
A prarie fire nearly caused the destruc
tion of the chicory factory yesterday.
Young Gillespie of the Ponca reserva
tion, son of B. S. Gillespie of O’Neill,
was again attacked last week by the
same Indian named Campbell who«wav
laid him about two months ago and
Gillespie shot in self defenbe. Camp
bell had recovered from his wounds and
started out to hunt Gillispie down. He
found a hiding place in the grass near
the road where Gillespie generally trav
eled and when he came along the Indian
leveled bis Winchester on his game and
fired. The bullet passed through Gilles
pie’s hat, and, kjnowing what kind of a
man he had to deal with, Gillespie fell
from his horse as though killed. The
Indian immediately started towards his
victim and when within a few feet ot
him, the supposed dead man raised and
sent a bullet through tbo would-be
assassin. Campbell will undoubtedly
die.—Creighton Courier.
The celebrated actors, Fredrick and
Jean Renolds, will appear at the opera
house, Friday, September 1, in the
screaming farce comedy, “Woman’s
Rights.” The company comes highly
endorsed by the eastern press. They
are now on their way to Chicago where
they play eight weeks. Jean Renolds is
acknowledged to be one of the most
beautiful women on the stage. She
moves in the best society of Boston,
Washington and New York. This
will be the opening of the regular
season and as everything promises to be
first-class the house no doubt will be
crowded. We clip the following from
the Deadwood Pioneer of July 23:
Fredrick Renolds and his beautiful
and accomplished wife. Jean Cowgill,
were greeted by a large and appreciative
audience at the opera-house last evening.
"Woman’s Rights” is an excellent com
edy and the company did full justice to
their parts. The whole constituted an
evening of delightful entertainment.
Both Mr. and Mr. Renolds posessability

come to the dramatic stage of this
city. _

What the Independent Wante to Know.
In Its issue of August 18, the Inde
pendent propounded a few Interrogations
to The Frontier in regard to the pres
ent condition of the Holt County bank
and its methods of doing business. We
have carefully investigated the affair
and are able this week to give our read
ers a fair understanding of the case,
especially the Jew’s questions where
they were intelligent enough to be un
derstood. The Introduction to his in
terrogations we omit, as it is nothing
but abuse of Tna Frontier editors and
has no bearing on the question. Below
each question will be- found the condi
tion of things as a careful investigation
has proven to us:
NUMBER ONE.
Why doesn't the bank examiner make
a report?
The bank examiner, like Mr. Kautz
man, is working under instructions. It
is not customary for the examiner to re
port to any one but the state banking
board, which he did in tbiB case within
two weeks, but the board delayed action
at the request of the depositors who
asked that they be given time to show
cause .why Mr. Adams should be allowed
to resume business. A petition to this
effect was gjgned by 85 per cent, of the
depositors. This accounts fo the delay.
NUMBER TWO.
And why have men been duned to call
and pay notes “on the side" since .the
bank closed?
We are perfectly safe in saying that
no man has been called upon to pay
Holt County bank notes since the bank
closed. The bank loaned large amounts
of money for private individuals and
took notes payable to the private indi
viduals and not to the bank, and it is
these same notes that are now in the
bands of attorneys for collection. The
notes were at no time figured imwithr
the assets of the bank. ‘
NUMBER THREE.
And why did Mr. Adams send for
men to surrender their certificates of
deposit and take his individual notes?
If we are expected to answer questions
we must have names, and dates. We
cannot guess at covert insinuations. Be
mnrn nvnlinif Ms* TZ milkman
NUMBER FOUR.
And why did the bank receive depos
its after its manager knew it wt^uld
close?
It Was after banking hours when the
bank’s officers new that it must close.
They confidently expected 910,000
by the evening express.
NUMBER FIVE.
And why did he make so many trans
fers of his property just before he locked
the doors and fastened in depositors'
money?
Bo far as we can ascertain he made
but two transfers. One *of those was a
brick block in this city owned by Adams
& Darr, (who, as wilj be seen by the
county records, have been doing a co
partnership busines), and the other was
to quit claim some tax titles. Money to
buy these tax titles was furnished Mr.
Adams for thdl special purpose, as the
records will show, and instead of buy
ing them in ' the name of the person
furnishing the money, he bought them
in his own name, and when the crash
came he simply gave a quit claim to
right the error. The transfer was per
fectly honorable and not made to secure
any funds that were to be counted as
bank assets.
NUMBER SIX.
And why did that bank take money
in payment for a note which it had dis
posed of to eastern parties under the
pretense that the management could not
"find the . note just then,” but gave a
deposit check with the assurance that
the note would be cancelled as soon as
it could be found, and returned on the
receipt of the deposit certificate, but
locked up bis money and let eastern
parties, to whom the note bad been
transferred, come on to him for pay
ment? Was that some of the paraded
“honor and integrity” those yawpers
are howling about? Was that obtain
ing money under false pretenses? Per
haps the grand jury will unearth some
startling things which will make very
interesting reading.
Again we must call for names and
dates. Who bas the deposit check, and
what is the amount, and who holds the
note and when was the money depos
ited? If we are to furnish you informa
tion, Mr. Kautzman, please Vasist us by
making your wants known in a less
general way. We are laboring for the
enlightenment of just such block-heads
as you but we are no necromancer,
interpreter of parables or reader of
dreams.

"Fools not all dead yet,” says the Jew.
The declaration is entirely superfluous.
A very casual perusal of Kautzraan’s
editorials establishes that fact far be
yond the idea of contradiction.
"The coming man,” observes Inven
tion, has been a great deal talked about
and a long time coming, and it seems
now that when he does arrive he will be
bald headed. That is Prof. Drum
mond’s opinion; nor does the loss of
hair by any means exhaust the list of
unnecessary organs which man, In the
process of evolution, will get rid of.
Other scientists say that they tend more
and tnbre to disappear, the nails grow
ing weaker, and the now useless divis
ion of the foot into toes shows signs of
vanishing. The coming man will, it Is
therefore anticipated, be a short, bald
headed, toothless, nailless, toeless crea
ture, with much brain and little muscle!
If the coming man is to be so terribly
mangled, we tremble violently for the
doming woman.

“Several literary critics are pointing
out to Congressman Bryan that he got
bis metaphors mixed- in bis silvery
speech when he spoke af the mute
appeals of the dust begrimed, whose
cries beat in vain against the outer
walls," says the Fremont Tribune. “A
mute cry, you see, would be something
Worth going miles and miles to see or
hear. What Mr. Brya^ doubtless meant
to say was that jbere were hot icicles
hanging on the outer walls.”
The board of independent supervisors
have up to date driven Scott and the
people’s money from the county, over*
burdened the people with taxes to pay
their salaries, ruined the county’s repu
tation abroad, cancelled about $25,000
worth of tax certificates that the county
must pay and when it is completed will
have spent about $600 in salaries in
approving Hayes’ bond, and still the
grand old ship of reform holds proudly
on her way.

Supervisors Meet.
The board of supervisors met in ad*
journed session at the vcourt house
August 80.
After minutes of previous meeting
were read and approved the following
motion was introduced by John Winn,,
and carried by a vote of 18 to 4:
I move you that the county treasurer
be, and hereby is, instructed to cancel,
and mark cancelled on his official books
and records, all tax sales and tax sale
certificates made by Barrett Scott, ex
county treasurer, in the year 1892, for
the reason that said sales were neither
made nor completed in accordance
with law.
The bond of Treasurer Hayes was
referred to the bond committee and that
his bondsmen be required to come in
and justify.
This is the business transacted yester
day, but the board are preparing to go

Obituary.
KIL0MURRY—At South Omaha, on
Monday, August 38, 1808, of typhoid
fever, Henry Killmurry, aged 88 years.
The sad intelligence above was con*
veyed by telegram to O'Neill Monday
evening and caused universal sorrow and
regret. Deceased had spent the greater
portion of his life in O’Neill, going to
South Omaha about 8 years ago, where
he worked in the packing house up to
the time of his death. Ha was sick but
a very short time, having entered the
hospital only the day before his demise.
John Mollride went down to Omaha
Tuesday morning, bringing the remains
up Wednesday evening. The A. 0. U.
W. lodge, of which deoeased was an
honored member, together with a large
delegation of pitlaens, met them at the
depot and oonveyed the remains to the
home of his father, Richard Kill*
murry.
The funeral occurred this morning
from the Catholic church and the large
concourse of friends which followed
the remains to their last resting plaoe
bespoke the love and esteem in which
he was held in this city, his old home.
