Attorney Benedict is confined to his
bed this week, the result of an accident
Saturday evening. While out driying
that evening with his two little children
one hind wheel of hU buggy attempted
to run up a guy-wire attached to an
electric light pole in front of Mr. Hicks'
butcher shop. The horse protested
against the rear end elevation and im
mediately upset the vehicle, throwing
the occupants violently to the ground.
The little ones escaped without injury
but Mr. Benedict suffered dislocation of
the right hip. The light company has
planted a pole and placed the dangerous
wire hors de combat.
Sells’ circus '“grafters" attempted to
corrupt the mayor, sheriff and marshal

They were informed, however, that
privileges of that kind were not for sale,
and further, that if they were caught

plenty of trouble. Onlv one or two
attempts of that kind were made by the
“short change” men and County At

correct their errors without the inter
vention of a court of justice.

Fremont Tribune: You may stand up,
Horatio, some day in this leafy month
of June, when the colleges and high
schools are turning out graduates and
certifying to the world on parchment
that they (the graduates) have success
fully pursued a given course of study
for a giyen length of time, and you may
receive your credentials of wisdom.
You may sit on the stage conscious that
eighteen or nineteen centuries look
down upon you as the pyramids did on
lioman soldiers in the plains of Mar
athon; your best girl, Horatio, and your
parents and friends may sit m the
audience before you and watch your
high brow throb and marvel how it can
enolose so much real fast-color knowl
edge. But don’t be fooled by these
tbings, Horatio. Don’t think you know
it all, as you will be tempted to think.
You will find after a while that you
don’t know anything now: this will.be
when you learn a good deal more. You
will go through life pursuing fleeting
phantoms aud hastening on to the grave
and every day that dawns will convince
you that you know so little, because
every 6tep you take in advance opens
to you a vista of things knowable. So,
therefore, receive the plaudits of your
friends when you make your graduating
oration with a full knowledge that you
don’t know as much as they think you
do. It is always best to understand the
truth, Horatio.
The case of the stats vg. W. J. Robin
son, of Chambers, for shooting snipe
was before Judge McCutcheon Monday
and Tuesday. The jury sitting on the
first trial failed to agree so another
panel wus made Tuesday and the whole
case again gone over. This time the
jury agreed and brought in a verdict
of not guilty. While under the evidence
in this case the verdict was no doubt
just, it presents a question that should
have been presented long ago, and that
is: Shall this wholesale slaughter and
shipment of our game birds be allowed
to continue? It is a matter of common
talk, and the writer knows from person
al observation, that this man Robinson,
and others connected with him, have
been in the habit every season of ship
ping from one to three barrels of game
to foreign markets every week. The
law covering this offense is very general
in its scope, making it a fineable mis
demeanor to kill any bird that is at
tractive in appearance or cheerful in
song, and the law also mrkes it a mis
demeanor for any person, agent or em
ploye of any association, corporation,
railroad company or express company,
to receive, carry, transport, or ship
such birds. Thus it will be seen that so
far as the law goes it is all on the side
of those who desire to protect our game
from the unmerciful onslaughts of these
nest robbers who have no mercy upon
the tender days of the half-fledged birds
or respect for the rights of honest nim
rods who like’ a little field sport occas
ionally for recreation. The way to
stop this business is to be eternally
vigilant and arrest these pot hunters on
suspicion. If the county attorney,
sheriff, or anyone else interested, would
keep one eye peeled on the express
offices he would catch the offenders and
catch them dead to rights.
The supreme court Tuesday handed
down an opinion in the Scott habeas
corpus case. Ilere is what the State
Journal says about It: "The supreme
court yesterday affirmed the decision of
the district court of Antelope county
denying Barrett Scott's application for a
writ of habeas corpus. It will be re*
membered that Scott was brought up
for trial in Holt county for embezzling
$70,000 ot the county funds, and upon
applying for a change of venue be was
sent to Antelope county for trlnl. He
was placed In the Antelope county jail
and Immediately applied to the district
court for a writ of habeas corpus, alleg*
ing that he could not legally be tried In
Antelope count/, which is outside of
the Holt county district, until It was
demonstrated that be fcould not get an
I impartial trial in the district. The
supreme court holds that he waived his
right In applying for a ohange of venue
and that habeas corpus is not the proper
remedy.”
Sioux City Daily Tribune: A
double elopement, in which the
theft of a team and surrey is a feature,
and in which two of the principals are
the sons of well known families, took
place last Saturday, but only came to
light today. The quartet of enthusi
astic loyers is composed of Eton S. Pat
terson, Sam Johnson, Minnie Selkirk
and Berdie Cooper. The boys belong
to families that arc well known in the
city. They are about 18 years old each,
while both girls are considerably older.
The boys have been noted as very bad
and very enterprising in their badness,
and they are thought to be responsible
for the affair. Birdie Cooper has been
employed in the office of Bekin’s van
line for over a year; her parents live on
the West Side. The Selkirk girl is the
daughter of an employe of the cable
line, and also lives on the West Side.
Last Saturday evening the four got to
gether and set out on their journey.
They bad kept it entirely to themselves.
TLe Johnson boy went to his father’s
livery stable and got a team and surrey,
in which they left the city without
delay and drove across the Sioux into
South Dakota, They traveled leisurely|
telling the people along route that they
were going to Colorado. It is supposed
.they planned to sell the rig as soon as
possible. As soon as it was discovered
that the party had gone the sheriff's
office was informed and telegrams were
sent out asking that the fugitives be
intercepted. Yesterday word was re
ceived that they had been arrested at
Mitchell, and an officer was sent for
them today. It is not known that they
had any money except a few dollars.
The boys had evidently been planning
for the escapade for some time, how
ever, as they had stolen some goods
from Patterson’s home a few days
before. It was recovered by the police
a day or two before they left.
Tribune, Saturday, June 2: Sheriff
Davenport returned from Mitchell this
morning where he went to arrest Eton
S. Patterson, Sam Johnson, Minnie
Selkirk and Birdie Cooper, the young
people who eloped from here last Satur
day evening. The sheriff failed to
bring the prisoners for the reason that
they are held at Mitchell for larceny
and have so far been unable to furnish
bonds. The quartet was arrested at
Ethan, a small town in the neighbor
hood of Mitchell, last Wednesday even
ing. They arrived there late in the
afternoon and stopped at the bouse of a
farmer named Cool to make inquiries
relative to the road. Finding no one at
home they went through the house, con
fiscating to their use a watch and a
quantity of bedding. - They encamped
on the lawn in front of the house and
were found by Cool on hin return. War
rants were sworn out for their arrest
and they were taken to Mitchell.

Letter List.
The Cattls Cat*.
At was intimated in our laat, tlie past
week hat developed another tide to the
Uillesple-Tlerney cattle stealing case.
Warrants were issued Monday on
complaint of Henning, owner of the
cattlo, for the arrest of A1 Hlleman,
from whose herd they were stolen, and
Johnnie Carr, the man who bought the
stolon cattle. Hlleman was at once
arrested, but Carr, being In Omaha at
the time, was not taken in custody until
his return Tuesday evening.
Uileman's preliminary hearing came
up before County Judge McCutcbeon
Tuesday afternoon and is still on as we
go to press. Harry Qlllesple is the
state's main witness und his testimony
implicates Hlleman, Carr and Andy
Morgan and an unknown. He testified
that Hileman told him in O'Neill that if
he would meet a bunch of cattlo at a
certain place on the Eagle on a certain
night and drive them to Carr’s herd on
Dry Creek, Carr would pay him #100,
which was to be shared equally with
the man who would help him do the
driving, Tho proposition was accepted
and the program carried out in detail.
Witness did not know the man who
assisted in driving the cattle; had never
seen him before, or since he paid him
the $50 on the day following the night
drive. He also swore that he rode Carr's
horse with Carr's knowledge and con
sent, and further, that Carr furnished
him a six sfiooter. This is about the
gist of his testimony.
ibo defense baa Introduced testimony
to prove tbat Uileman was not In O'Neill
at the time Gillespie claims to have
made the contract with him. Morgan
swears tbat instead of paying Gillespie
flOO he paid him 9400, which was
about the value of the cattle. And he
swears point blank In many instances
tbat Gillespie's testimony is false.
None of the evidence so far adduced
Implicates Tierney in the least. From
the testimony it would appear that he
has been falsely accused.
The case at this writing is more com
plicated than ever and we would not
even venture a prediction as to the
outcome.

Jerry Kelly marketed quite a lot of

A matronly lady strangely clad and
wearing an indeacribablo piece of head*
gear caused consternation In a little
party of two—a boy and a girl
—who were star-gazing from a
piazza in the western part of the
city one night last week. The young
man says the long and flowing toga
might hare been a slumber gown and
the turban,, of fearful design, wa* per

that a woman In the secrecy of her own
bedchamber is a curiosity of wonderful

Borne fellows are equal to almost any
emergency. Not a thousand yean ago
in a school room a thousand miles from
O'Noill, a certain pupil, after school
hours, entered the professor’s room and
there found the pedagogue kneeling at
the feet of bis lady love. Of course the
professor was embarrassed but his nerve
lifted him up to the occasion and he
straightway attempted to make It appear
that be was only explaining some diffi
cult mathematical problem, by saying/
“you can do It that way or the other
way,” while the intruder backed out
softly whistling, “Will You Love Mein
Vacation.”
Girls, do you blush? If you don’t
you should. Just read what a promi
nent doctor gives as the oause of those
bright red cheeks: “A blush is a tem
porary erythema and aloriflc effulgence
of the physiognomy, actiologized by the
preceptiveness of the censorium when
in a predicament of unequilibrity from a
sense of shame, anger or other cause,
eventuating in a paresis of the vaso
motor nervous Aliments of the facial
capillaries whereby, being divested of
their elasticity, they are suffused with
radient, aerated, compound nutritive
circulating liquid, eminating from an
intimidated praecordia."
, By glancing at the head which appear*
at the top of the first column of this
page, the casual reader will observe that
it is not the one that greeted our readen
in the first issue of this paper under
our management and run continuously
up to the present time. The sidetrack
ing of that old familiar caption throws
us into retrospective channels of thought;
misty memory carries us back to the
time of our first newspaperial venture,
when people were amazed that
two youths of such tender years
had the effrontery to attempt to walk
wbsre angels scarcely dare to tread, and
many and dire were the prophecies of
ignominious collapse of the enterprise
and utter failure of the ‘ kids,’* as they
pleased to call the youthful Journalists. ,
But time drew on a trot, a pace, and a
run, the paper prospered, the boys dis
played some ability and in the course of
time become known the state over as
the “kids of O’Neill;’’ and being not
ashamed of the title the headline before
mentioned was placed at the head of
the paper as a rebuke to their friendly
and unfriendly traducers, with the
mutual agreement that it should remain
until one of the partners bad unfitted
himself for the appellation by taking
unto his bed and board one of those
vague, unreal and uncertain treasures
callrd woman. The time has come.
The die is cast. The senior editor has
premeditatedly—but let us hope without
malice aforethought—tied hymen’s
halter about his neck and started down
the avenue of life in connubial bliss,
and thus it is that a new scared head
greets our readers.
