MUCH WIND
AND LITTLE RAIN
O’Neill people were out of bed an
hour unusually early yesterday ujorn
iug. A storm swept down from the
northwest about 5 oclock and rattled up
the dry and wet bones in great shape.
It was the strongest wind this section
ha6 been visited by for many years.
Trees bowed to the earth, shingles rat*
led like fanning mills and buildings
tottered like infants. The wind blew
for half an hour and was followed by a
rain. The rain was really lighter than
it appeared to be, only .30 inch falling
as recorded by Observer Cole. While
the wind did considerable damage, the
damage was more than offset by the
benefit of the rain. Two of the large
windows to the rooms over the laud
office where J. J. King has an office
were blown in. The wind out many a
caper in the office; the cover was torn
from a type writer; a paper file was car
ried from a table across the room and
gently laid on a shelf on the wall; a
transcript of a half dozen pages, which
Mr. King had run off on his type writer
was ruined by the wind and water; a
certificate that hung upon the wall was
torn down and the frame and glass bro
ken; books, papers and broken glass
were strewn about the room. The city
wind mill east of the court-house was
blown down and twisted out of shape
so that it will have to be replaced by a
new one. Mr. Hoover of Freeport, 111.,
general agent of the company which
supplied the mills, Woodmanse, Hewitt
& Co., who was in the city, at once or
dered a new mill and the same will be
put up in place of the damaged one at
the expense of the company. A few ^
small buildings were upset and chimneys
in various parts of towu collapsed. A
few large trees were blown down and
limbs innumerable were strewu about
the house yards.
Just Twenty Years Ago.
Twenty years ago today the first num
ber of The Frontier was issued. Hence
we are twenty years old today. The
Frontier is one of the pioneer papers of
north Nebraska, the oldest paper lu tbe
county and with but one or two excep
tions the first paper established in this
section of the west. The newspaper
history of Hoi county has witnessed
many changes. Along the twenty years
with whioh The Frontier has had to do.
other papers have sprung up here and
there, but soon withered and deoayed
or were merged into other publications,
until today none of our contemporaries
of back in the ‘80's remain. The Fron
tier has seen a variety of management.
The original founder was W.D.Matbews,
now editor of the State Republican at
Little Rook, Ark. After Mr. Mathews,
came James H. Riggs, who now pub
lishes a paper at Waterloo, this stale.
Then agaiu Mr. Mathews came into con
trol of the paper anil a short time later
it passed into the hands of the Frontier
Priuliug company, organized by W. D.
Mathews, Clyde King and D. H. Cronin.
Mr. Mathews ere long withdrew from
the company and Messers King and
Cronin assumed full command. l'i 1896
Mr. King retired and Mr. Cronin became
sole proprietor, as he still remains. It
It is not for us to say what The Frontier
has been during these twenty \ ears. It
has been acknowledged as a leading
factor m the upbuilding of this section,
but if any praises are ilue it, we leave
them to the public. We have no idle
promises to make for the futuru but will
state we are still doing business at the
old stand, where we are always glad to
wait upou our Iriends and enemies.

Grant Hatfield and Bob Marsh were

Bob's reputation for truth and veracity
has always been good and as it was a
little hot that day we will accept his
story and say nothing But by-it
