DETECTIVE WOBE
An attachment suit was begun In
count? court yesterday by E. 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.

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."

EAR SIR: A new season has begnn and we think it
likely yon will need something in the way of clothing
or tarnishing goods before ’ong. Wo are very anxious
to show you some special qualities and pricvS that we
think are the best we have ever had in the store. We
are positive nothing to compare with them his ovor
been shown here and we would like you to exumine the
goods and try on your si&e in some of the different
styles,
A man oan go anywhere and bay a suit of clothes, but it is not
always so easy to find just what he wants or to get a suit that will
wear well, keep its shape, feel right and look well all the time.
We sell the best clothing in the United States, positively the
best; not because we say so, but because everybody says so. It is
the Hart, SchafFuer & Marx clothing you see advertised in the
leading magazines. It is worn by good dressers in all large cities.
If you paid three times our price and had your clothes made to
measure you could not get a better fit. H. S. & M. clothing has a
stylish cut and becoming appearance that few merchant tailors
can equal,
While we pride ourselves on the quality of everything we sell,
yet when it comes to the matter of prices we will not be understood.
All we ask is a chance to show you personally what we can do.
Come and see us. You are perfectly welcome whether you buy or
not If you are pleased with what you see here we want your
trade when you are ready to buy. Hoping to see you in the store,
we remain, Yours very truly, P. J. McMANUS.
