They did ample justice to strawberries, ice cream, lemonade and cake, and had a general good time. The city council last Monday night unanimously passed a curfew ordinance, which requires all children under 16 years of age to be tinder the parental roof at or before 9 o dock f. m.

Sam Thompson and Art Coykendall returned Sunday night from Missouri, where they went with Charlie Hall a week ago to run a merry-go-round dur ing the summer. They found every thing under water in Missouri and still raining, so they returned to O'Neill filled with disgust. The swing is on 4he way north and they will probably open the campaign in O’Neill. Mr. Hall returned Tuesday night. Graphic. In answer to a letter which we wrote to Senator Thurston, asking him when the supreme court would act on the California irrigation cases, and also if congress could cure the defects by legislation, he says: “There is no possible way of ascertaining when the supreme court will render a decision in the irrigation cases. As the question is a constitutional one, it seems doubtful about congress having the power to cure by legislation should the supreme court decide adversely to the irrigation side." C. H. Bacon left for his home at Springfield, Ohio, last Friday morning after a three days’ visit in O’Neill. Thursday afternoon Mr. Bacon, John Weekes.Ed Grady and Clyde King drove over in the south country to enjoy the scenery. They took a couple of shot guns along to protect themselves from attacks by the plover, which are very vicious this time of the year. Mr. Bacon admired the rich hay lands along Dry Creek very much and says Holt is sure to be a winner. The party partook of n game breakfast at the Hotel Evans Fri day morning. Hebron Republican: A Kansu doctor predicts that in the next century sur geons will be able to graft arms and legs and transplant eyes from one head to another, and even give brains to people who have none If our friend the physician is not too optimistic in his views, with what patient hope the aver age pop should look forward to the com ing of the new era. i The Fremont Tribune says an ex* exchange puts it in about the proper, light when it says: “Merchants who want the newspapers to ‘rout’ grocery peddlers and the like, would jpake the newspaper man feel more like doing g|t if these same merchants would qufi using gargling oil envelopes, i baking powder statements and sidewalk adver tisements and patronized tlje home papers, as all live and successful mer chants do.” awing Advocate: A story u. gong the rounds of a couple -of young peop}9 who attended a lecture recently. Whetf* the collection was taken up the young man commenced fishing in his pockets for a dime. His face expressed his ear barrassment as he whispered hoarseljy ‘I guess I haven’t a cent. I changed my pants,” and the young lady who had been examining the unknown regions ot a woman’s dress for her purse, turned S pink color and said, “I’m in the same fix.” _ County Judge Baxter and Attorney Sutton, of Omaha, were in O'Neill yes* terday for a few hours. Mr. Baxter expects the constitutional amendment creating two new supreme fudges to carry, and he would like first rate to have the coming republican state con vention nominate him as one of the can didates for those offices. Mr. Baxter is said to be well qualified for that posi tion. His name will be presented to the convention by the Douglas county delegation. _ The owners of good bicycles in O'Neill last week formed a stock com pany and immediately made an assess ment for the purpose of employing a man to pick up and remove all of the old nails, wire, glass and other material lying around in the street that is dangerous to the safety and well, belr-g', of tires. The work is now completed and the streets are in a comparatively safe condition. People can win the eternal good will of bicycle owners by refraining from depositing such sub stances in the public highways. Randolph Times: J. H. Riggs and family took the afternoon train for Fre mont Thursday. They shipped their household goods to that point where they will make their future home. Mr. and Mrs. Riggs made many friends in our town during their stay, who regret to see them leave. Mr. Riggs was editor of the Times for about one year previous to March 1, and will no doubt engage in the newspaper business again. His long experience with the work will enable him to secure a good position and we hope to soon hear of him at the head of another republican journal. The party would benefit by it, as Mr. Riggs can write a political editorial as good as any of the boys. _ The Atkinson Plain Dealer, in com menting on the Fanton trial, has the following words of praise of Attorney Dickson: "The Fanton trial was con cluded Friday, and although the defense did much better than they did in the first case, in their attempt to prove an alibi, the jury agreed in convicting the de fendant and returned a verdict of guiliy. Perhaps the most interesting event in the course of trial was the plea made by the defendant’s counsel, R. R. Dickson, which was one of the best and most forcible arguments ever made before a Jurv in O’Neill; no possible trend of testimony that could possibly go toward helping the cause of his client was left untouched, but was magnified and pre sented to the jury in a convincing man ner that added many laurels to the wreath of legal achievements made by that gentleman.” One of T. N. J. Hynes’ little boys had a very narrow escape from a frightful accident, and probably death, last Sun day afternoon. He, in company with other boys, was fishing at the mud bridge on the railroad a couple of miles east of O’Neill on the F. E. The boys were sitting on the bridge, which is a couple of hundred feet long, enjoying themselves as boys generally do on such occasions, when suddenly an engine came around the curve from the west, rhe other boys scampered away out of danger but Master Hynes became fright ened and his legs refused to act. On account of deep water under and around the bridge he could not jump off and was in imminent danger when O. F. Blglin happened along. Mr. Biglin took in the situation at a glance and made a run for the boy and succeeded in getting bim off the track at the end of the trestle work just as the engine went whizzing by. It was a close call for both Mr. Biglin and the boy. J. GARBERRT SUICIDES Surrendered by His Bondsmen and Shoots Himself. HE WOULD HOT GO TO JAIL Had Batter Sis Than Fight the Cass ■ Farther. .John Carberry committed suieide at biy home in Stuart last Tuesday morning at 8:50 o’clock by shooting in the head with a 88-calibre revolver. On May 12 Carberry was arrested and brought to O’Xeill charged with having been implicated with Fanton in stealing the Cross cattle last December. On Wednesday he appeared in county court, waived- preliminary examination and gave a bond of 8500 for hie appearance at the next term of the district court. The following-named gentlemen •from Stuart were on his bond: Frank Dob ney, Jacob Krafft, E. M. Mulford, Chas. dirich, D. W. Ebien, J. W. Morton, George Voght, J. H. Daugherty, John McCartney, A. McCast, J. L. McCartney ana a. Aiman. After the bond *u given in county court Tom Carberry, a eon of the old gentleman, who had been tried a couple of montha before and convicted on the •ame charge, but waa out on ball pend ing the hearing of a motion for a new trial, suddenly and mysteriously left for parts unknown and forfeited his bond. The departure of the son caused the bondsmen of the elder Carberry to be come uneasy and on Monday Frank Dobney came to this city and Informed the proper officers that himself and Jacob Krafft wished to be released from further liability on the bond. On Monday night Sheriff Hamilton went up to Stuart for the purpose of taking him in custody again. He saw Carberry that evening and explained to him the circumstances and told him that he must go to O'Neill in the morning and give a new bond. Carberry seemed yery despondent and lamented the flight hi his eon, saying that he would, never see him again; but after the sheriff had talked with him awhile he said he would try and mortgage his property and put up. the cash for security and not be bothered about getting other bondsmen. The sheriff did not see him again alive. The next morning Carberry's daughter 1 came hurriedly to the hotel where Mr. Hamilton was stopping and told him to go quickly to the house as they could 1 not do anything with her father. The ' sheriff started immediately and when he arrived within half a block of tLe house ■ he heard a pistol shot. ' Fearing that ' something was wrong be ran the rest *of the way and upon his arrival found ] Carberry lying dead between the stable and the house with a bullet hole in his ' head. The ball entered the right temole, passed almost directly through ] and raised a lump on the left side, al- { though the skin was not broken. Death i was probably instantaneous. i In the- barn a rope was found sus pended from a rafter and it is thought he first contemplated hanging but later changed his mind and chose the re volver. The revolver was an old one and in a ; broken up condition; it had no cylinder pin and it seems almost impossible that it could be used at all. There was some doubt in the mind of the victim re garding the potency of the weapon as he put in two cartridges, one to test it and the other to do the deed. The sheriff immediately impaneled a a jury, in the absence of the coroner, : and held an inquest, the result of i which was a verdiot in accordance ' with the above facts. i Deceased was about 04 years of age, ' and had resided with his family in this 1 county for about 21 years. ! It will probably never be known 1 whether or not he was guilty of the i crime charged, but the county attorney 1 seems confident that he would have ' been convicted. It is said that Tom 1 Carberry was about to make a confess- 1 ion a short time ago when the old man 1 objected and said be would rather die 1 than divulge a thing. It is rumored, l however, that Tom told enough to im- : plicate several other men in the western 1 part of the county, and more arrests are expected. I The funeral took place Wednesday at ^ Stuart. 1 THE WXATHXB. * Jie weather report since our last is sue is as follows, taken by A. U. Morris, official observer; Day of Week. Friday. Saturday...

The motion for a new trial in the eaae of the state against Tom Carberry eame up for argument before Judge Kinlcaid last Saturday, but the prisoner failed to put in an appearance and an investigation disclosed the fact that he had flown, and none knew whither. It is thought that be left his home at Stuart last Thursday. His bond of 9800 was forfeited. The following-named gentlemen are sureties: Lewis Radcliffe, Miles Greenfield, Joseph Frost and August Allyn. The court reprimanded the county attorney somewhat for not being ready to argue the motion for the new trial before the other cattle thieves received their sentences. It is thought the long terms given Fenton and Barney fright ened Carberry and was the cause of his elopement. Every effort is being made to locate the gentleman and return him to the bar of Justice to receive sentence. When the board of supervisors meet they will probably be asked to offer a reward for his apprehension, but judg ing from their position on the Fenton case, they will not squander muoh money to get him.
