The church picnic at Wynn’s grove
yesterday drew a large crowd, which
seemed to enjoy itself. The O’Neill
band furnished excellent music, and a

spice to the program of the day. A

Shields interested a large crowd in the
afternooon. At the finish the score
stood 14 to 16 in favor of O’Neill.

duty of friends and neighbors at such

such attendance no thanks are due,
much less to air the proceedings through

Fred Swingley’s new buggy was stolen
from bis barn in this city last Sunday
night. No trace of it was found until

word from Butte that a man by the
name of John Walk had been arrested
at that place with tbo buggy in his pos
session. Deputy Sheriff O’Neill and
Mr. Swingley went over yesterday and
returned in the evening with the buggy
and the thief, who now languishes. Mr.
Walk is a Boyd county farmer, residing
north of Butte.

Mathews had a number taken by him
self while on the coast and in Mexico,
•and Mr. Grady furnished an interesting
collection taken while ‘wandering over

For the first* performance it was decided

Beacon Light: Notwithstanding the
croaking of Tub Frontier the old
school board was indorsed by the people
of O’Neill.
Well, now isn’t that gall supreme! No
one worked harder for the re-eleclion
of Messrs. Milliard and Gillespie than
the editors of The Frontier, and no
one worked harder to encompass their
defeat than the friends of Morrow and
the Beacon Light. In fact you might
say the line was drawn exactly there.
If Tom Morrow and the Beacon Light
can make salve for their sqres out of the
result of the election they have the
consent of this journal to manufacture
and apply it in liberal po.tions.
The Beacon Light must be sat upon
hard indeed before it will acknowledge
defeat. It counts no battle lost and
claims victory even while its camp is
being pillaged by the enemy. The
foolish talk it has engaged in, relative
to the Hcott bond case, was continued
last week with much gust on account of
the action of Judge Chapman in setting
the case for August 27. ' His honor
stated from the bench that his object
in setting it for.trial on that date was
because he would not have time to try it
later in the fall. Katitzman’s driveling
utterances in regard to the matter bear
about the same relation to the date of
trial that a brick of limberger cheese
does to the moon.
Our School "Baform.”
“Confidently expect every man to do
right, and with all of your expectations
expect to be disappointed,” is an old
saying that was never more pertinent
than at this time, when contemplating
the action of the school board last
Saturday.
During the last year the condition
of our school was simply deplorable;
incompetency stalked brazenly through
every department and ignorance was at
a premium. Dissatisfied and disgusted
with the downward tendencies of our
educational interests our citizens turned
out en masse at the late school election,
determined if possible to work a change
for the better. But did they do it? But
partially.
' The result of the election of teachers
shows conclusively that paternalism,
favoritism and jobbery has not lost its
place in the meeting when the board is
in sessiou.
Three teachere were re-employed who
have never even graduated from the
school, in fact hardly graduated from
the departments in which they are to
serve as instructors. There is no argu
ment that may be advanced in justifi
cation of this wrong. Reason, common
sense and every thing else is against
such pernicious methods.
Tub Frontier has nothing personal
against any of the teachers employed
and in criticizing the action of the board
does it merely for the benefit of the
schools, and in this, we are supported
by the best element in the city—those
who believe the education of their
children is an issue paramount to phi
lanthropy and jobbery. > .
One good thing, however, was done:
that man Morrow, the nondescript, was
retired from the professorship. We may
be thankful, perhaps, for that.
For principal the borrd selected
Professor McGuire, of Adams county,
Mr. McGuire is very prepossessing in
appearance and comes well recom
mended and there can be no possible
doubt that at the worst he will be a big
improvement over the retiring principal.
The other teachers are all from O’Neill
and are as follows:
Miss Carlon.
Miss Lowrie.
Mrs. George Clark.
Miss Murphy.
Miss McMauus.
Miss Gillespie.
Mrs. Taylor.

RALPH HILL AND BON HISSING
Vigllanos Committee Helds High Carnival
Along the Hlitorio Hlobrsrn.
Mrs. Ralph Hill, who resides on
Turkey creek, near (he Niobrara river,
arrived in the city Sunday evening in a
state of some excitement and told a tale
that carried our citizens away to pioneer
days when law and order were scarcer
than horse theives and cattle rustlers
ornamenting available trees and tele
graph poles. ,
She said that last Friday afternoon
Constable Bigler and Jim Greig came to
their house with warrants for the arrest
of old qian Hill, his son Charlie, the
hired mail and Fuller upon the charge
of cattle stealing. Fuller 'was not to be
found, but .the other three were duly
arrested and taken away on the road to
Esquire Putnam’s. That when the
party arrived at a point opposite Bur
bank’s grove they were held up bv a
company of men, booted and spurred
like Mexican brigands, who took the
prisoners from the officers and that was
the last heard from them, except she
had beard it rumored that the hired
man had been seeq leaving the country
by order of the committee, and that
when last seen he was not standing upon
the order of going but was going as fast
as convenient under a forced march.
Mrs. Hill was not os nervous as most
women would be under similar circum
stances and bitterly bewailed the fact
that her husband and son had not been
given a chance to fight for their lives.
That they were dead she did not appear
to question.
Sheriff Hamilton and County At
torney Murphy left early Monday morn
ing for the scene of the reported lynch
ing and till they returned Tuesday
night the air was full of flying rumors
of great magnitude, as is generally the
case. Mr. Murphy informed a Frontier
reporter that the facts as he found them
were about as stated by Mrs. Hill.
While traveling over the road said to
have been taken by the vigilante Mr.
Murphy found two promissory notes
signed by Ralph Hill in favor of the
First National bank of this city, one
for $20 and the other for $80. Both had
been paid, and finding them at that
place was pretty good evidence that the
committee hed taken the men to the
river. Numerous tracks on the river
bank, tend to confirm this opinion,
although whether the men were
drowned, hung and buried is still a
mystery. They have disappeared as
completely as though one of the yawn
ing canyons of the Niobrara had swal
lowed them. Mr. Murphy does not
doubt that the men are dead.
The sheriff and county attorney ar
rived at the river Monday in time to
attend a mass meeting of the stockmen
who live along the river. There were
about seventy-five present and Peter
Greeley1? an old and respected citizen of
the county, was president of the meet
ing. No mention was made of the
affair of the Friday before, but resolu
tions were adopted ordering Fuller and
young Hunt to leave the county in
stanter and advising Charlie Keeler to
mend his ways under penelty of being
dealt with according to law. The law
mentioned, under the surrounding cir
cumstances, has peculiar significance.
The history of the Niobrara river is
full of occurrences of this kind, but
since the great cleaning up made by
the vigilants of 10 or 13 years ago every
thing has been pretty quiet. An organ
ized gang of petty thieves has, however,
been making it unpleasant for honest
people in that neighborhood with the
above result. While this paper is earn
estly opposed to taking human life for
trivial offenses it realizes that the gang
must be cleaned out and hopes the
vigilants will be successful in they
efforts. Mob law is seldom justifiable,
but in this case it may be so. The past
lyis demonstrated that these fellows
cannot be convicted in court as they are
always able to prove an alibi by schew
ing pals.
Since the ’ above was put in type we
are in receipt of a copy of the reso
.lutions mentioned in the foregoing.
They read as follows:
Sakatooa, Neb., July 3, 1894. •
We, the undersigned, knowning be
yond a doubt that you; presence is a
detriment and is dangerous to the
community, as a favor to us and a ben
efit to yourselves, would request you to
leave Holt and Iioyd counties. This
request is directed to
HENRY HUNT and J. H. FULLER.
You will please go immediately or you
will be dealt with according to law.
We. the undersigned of Holt and
adjdining counties, hereby notify you,
CUAR.LES KEELER,
r-'
to quit associating, abbetting and en
couraging with the Hills and known
thieves, under penalty ot being expelled
from the community.

Passed over to the Grent Beyond, on
Sunday afternoon, July 1, 1894, Ezra E.
Sanders, aged 80 years, 11 months and
26 days.
Sixteen years ago, on a bright May
morning, there appeared in my printing
office in Monroe, Wisconsin, a youth
just turned fifteen, clean of face and
keen of eye, and from appearances
surely ‘‘to fortune and fame unknown."
The boy stated that he had walked in
from his father’s farm, some twenty
miles, in order to answer an advertise
ment of “boy wanted to learn the print
ers’ trade. ” Attracted by his appearance
of honesty and willingness to submit to
all my propositions, I took him in on
probation, and for years Ezra Sanders
remained in my employ, filling positions
of responsibility and trust well and
faithfully. As one of the family we all
became greatly attached to him, and we
felt that bis interests were ours. Short
ly after I removed to Nebraska Ezra
came on and askumed his old position in
the printing office, and as the material
in the old Wisconsin shop had been
brought along he filled in nicely, in
O'Neill and Holt county be made many
friends, and when he essayed to en
gage in business for himself as publisher
of the Dustin Dispatch, he secured sub
stantial encouragement, and made a
success of the venture, his conscientious
regard for the rights of others and
appreciating his own responsibilities as
an editor and governing himBelf accord
ingly, won him tho esteem and confi
dence of the community. Ezra was
married to Lola Addison on February
21, 1686, and in his home life and news
paper work she proved a helpmeet in
deed, and faithfully aided him in every
way. When bis health commenced
failing him about seven years ago Lola
was equal to the emergency, and as
sumed cheerfully responsibilities that
would have disharlened most women.
They removed to California for a change
of climate, then back to O’Neill, (for a
time publishing the Item) Ezra’s health
all the time failing, and some four years
ago as a last resort going to Colorado.
Here it seemed there was a marked im
provement, but that dread disease,
consumption, was all the time at work,
and a few months ago Ezra returned to
his mother’s home here, and gradually
the attacks of the grim monster became
more marked. Attended by his faithful
wife and devoted mother his last days
were made as comfortable as possible,
and when the final summons came it
found him prepared and willing, his
perfect faith <n the Great Redeemer's
promise of a resurrection and future life
of happiness seeming to make him really
anxious ior me cnange.* no matter
what another’s belief may be as to the,
future life, the exemplification of Chris
tian faith and trust as evidenced by this
young man for years is attractive'and
consoling, and beyond question is the
one thing that reconciles his wife,
mother and other relations to this tem
porary separation. I look upon death
somewhat differently than most people,
and In some cases consider it a matter of
congratulation rather than commiser
ation—of joy rather than sorrow—of
smiles rather than tears. Death should
not be called a monster—rather an an
gel of rest and peace, who summons
weary disease-afflicted mortals to an
other life (rather a continuation of this
in another and grander form) where
progression is the order, and where pro
gression is more natural and easy sis the
temptations and afflictions of earth do
not harrass and obstruct.
The funeral serviees were held at the
M. E. church on Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Kev. Boynton, an Adventist
minister, which faith the deceased fully
believed in. The remains were in charge
of the printers' of O'Neill, who showed
marked respect by attending in a body.
Good bye, Ezra. w. d. k.
