H. Ben* edict against A-. Montgomery, the at tachment involving a team and wagon owned by Montgomery. The case grows out of a failure to pay attorney’s fees. Montgomery lives over in Dakota. Mr, Benedict did some work before the United States land office some time ago for him and he returned to his home without pnying the attorney’s fee. As the fee was not forthcoming the attorney thought it best to use a little law to secure tfce satisfaction of his claim. The other day Montgomery wm in O’Neill and Attorney Bendiet thought he would secure his fee by attaching the man’s team, and accordingly placed the necessary document in Deputy Sher iff Bradstreel’s hands and the deputy started on Montgomery’s trail. The man was found in a downtown saloon and all ihat was necessary was to await his move for a departure from the city to locate the whereabouts of the team and wagon. Deputy Sheriff Bradstreet kept an eye on his man. Montgomery ap parently had anticipated the design of the attorney on his property if he brought it into town and so left his team in a grove outside the city. But this made no difference to the wily deputy, who was after bis scalp, so to speak. When Montgomery left town he was followed by Brad and the proper ty found as above indieated. The case now rests in county court, where a trial will be had the 25th. Mont gomery claims the team belongs to his wife and therefore cannot be held for a debt contracted by him. The wife, who was with him, also claims that she is the owner of the team. Attorney Benedict expects to prove otherwise. Resolutions. At a regular meeting of Qrattan lodge, [No. 14, Independent Workmen of Amerioa, held June 1, 1900, the follow ing preamble and resolutions were adopted? Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Architect and Ruler of the universe to remove from our midat our late brother, Thomas Campbell; and Whereas, the intimate relations long i held by our deceased brother with the members of this lodge render it proper that we should place on record our ap preciation of his services as a fellow WoRtnjgn, and b$s merits as a man; therefore be it Resolved hy Grattan lodge, No. 14, | Independent Workmen of Amerioa, that while we bow with humble submission the will of the Most Righ, we do not the less mourn for oqr brother who has been called from his labor to eternal rest.

A broken casting on oar press caused Tba Frontier some delay this week. Through the courtesy of Mr. Eves we are allowed to print on the Independent press. An Alliance watchmaker rrpaired a watch tor a man named Mathews, the latter falling to pay for it at the time. The watchmaker ‘'dunned’’ Mathews for the money and the latter bit him on the head with a piece of iron which any way caused his death a few hours later. Alliance is evidenly a "hot town”. The prohibitionists of Holt county are hereby called to meet in convention at the court-house in O'Neill on Tuesday, June 12, at 10 o’clock, to elest delegates to the state convention to meet at Lin coln July 10 and to transact any other business that may legally come before the convention. T. M. Elder, county chairman. A Madison paper contains the follow ing complimentary notice of an O'Neill boy, Rev. C. W. Lowrie, son of Rev. and Mrs. N. S. Lowrie, who preached the memorial sermon for the old veterans in that city : “The>ermon was a masterly one and was delivered with force. The lines usually followed were abandoned and instead comparisons made with other lands during the early straggles, giving their causes and effect and showing the divine providence of Qod. The veterans were delighted with the sermon." Last Saturday we attended the Fourth annual meeting of the Elkhorn Valley Editorial Association at Gordon. Gor* don is a good town and her citizens an enterprising class. The meeting was well attended, and the papers read and the discussion that followed instructive. The evening program commenced with an entertaining lecture by Dr. A. L. Bixby, of the State Journal, and ended with a sumptuous banquet at the Odd Fallows hall. Valentine was seleoted as the next meeting place and the follow ing officers elected for the ensuing year; President, H. G. Lyon, Gordon Journal; Vice-president, Dean Effner, Chadron Journal; Secretary-treasurer, I. Rioe, Valentine Democrat. ‘Will Nollkamper of Eagle Mills is the luckiest man in Holt county. The other day bis father gave him some money to come to O’Neill and pay a freight bill. The money consisted of a $20 bill and a - number of silver dollars, and was wraped in a paper. When Will went to pay his freight bill he unfolded the paper, rolled out ten silver dollars and, not noticing the twenty, crushed the paper and the hill in his hand and threw it on the floor. When he got home he learned that he had thrown away $20. Coming back to town the next day he found the piece, o* paper holding within its folds the $20 bill lying beside the railroad traok where it had been swept out by the depot boy. The statement by the Independent last week that Dickson let the Butler disbarment case go by default was just as reliable and near the truth as any thing of a political nature that thorough ly unreliable sheet is in the habit of publishing. The case was set foy June 5 by Judge Harrington to he tried by Judge Weatoyer. It was known at the time that Weatover would be holding court in Boyd oounty and could not try the case. The disbarment has not gone by default, but by some hocus pocus the bringing to justice of a populist at torney is staved off. The fact that the prosecution was on hand the 5th with the sheriffs of Otoe and Adams counties as witnesses doesn’t look like the case was to b.e allowed to “go by drfanlt ” As iit is. trigl will not be had for another month. A. T. Sinolair, a Boyd county farmer and known by a number of O'Neill cit izens, was killed by lightning during the storm of last Wednesday night while on his way to this city with a load of hogs, the tragic accident occurring out in the Eagle creek country. Editor Coombs of Spencer, who returned home from O'Neill Thursday, gives these par ticulars in the Advoeate: “While coming from O’Neill ^bis moaning we met a boy who ipfofiped ug that A- T, Sinclair had been struck and killed by lightning dur ing - the storm which occurred about midnight Wednesday, on Eagle creek, near Lidy’s. He said that when he went to turn out the cattle this morning he noticed the team standing in the road part way up the hill. On going closer he discovered the dead body of a man lying among and partly covered by a load of hogs, in the wagon. Mr. Lidj, Mr. Nolcamper, and Hornbeck were called and unloaded the hogs. The body was then reoognized. We arrived about 11 o’clook and viewed the re mains. There was a slight wound on the top of the head, and the hair wag scorched considerable. There was a small round bole burned through the hat which denoted where the bolt had struck." '■! A district convention of Epworth Leaguers for the territory comprising what is known as the Neiigh district will convene at the Methodist church in this city on Tuesday evening of next week and oontinue until Thursday even ing. Preparations are being made by the Methodist people for a great demon stration.

Bryan) in the last three years has spoken to so many and such large audiences as Dr. Schell, lie will address the convention here Wed nesday evening on the subject, “Aris tocracy of Youth.” The Beattie Post-Intelligencer says of Dr. Schell as a speaker: “Rarely do you hear one who has the easy flow of words, the blending of wit and pathos, the attractive personality, the enthusing eloquence of Dr. Schell.” On Thursday eyening Ai Saburo Isbida, a Japanese minister, dressed in native costume, will speak to the con vention about Japan, her people and religion.
