The electric glare that once illuminated
such places in O’Neill having been re*

lighted bv the new and better gas ar
rangement. Among the places that cas<
a ray of brilliancy on a dark night are
those of J. J. McCafferty's, J. P.
Mann’s and the two drug stores. These
are not the Only ones in the city that
use the gas lamp, which, as it is im
proved upon and perfected, will win its
way into public favor over the kero
sene lamp, as that illuminary did over
the candle not much more than a quar
ter of a century back.

door and look lonesomely along the
street for a customer to come their way.
Products of the farm and pastu'e are
being put on the market and tilleis

cleaned up over in the bay country,

cattle through to grass. The recent
snows, combined with the frozen
moisture in the ground from fall rains,
puts the earth in condition to do her
best when summer suns bid blade and
blossom awaken. Not only O’Neill,
but Holt county in general, seems to be
enjoying a degree of prosperity com
mensurate with the capital and energy
expended. _

A special term of district court was held

disposing of the stale case, which C H.
Thompson was charged with murder in

recent decision of the supreme court a
jury of twelve men was called as a
matter of form to dear the case from the
dockets, the court instructing the jurors
to return a verdict of not guilts which
was complied with, and the defendant
was discharged.

columns a couple of weeks ago in which

Another Swindle.
The Leader reports a new game of
swindle that is bring worked among
unwary in the vicinity of Neligh. It
is a smooth trick and Frontier
readers will do well to let alone. The
Leader says:
Their plan of procedure is to canvass
among the farmers for the purchase ot
poultry, and for which about double the
market price is offered. A sale is of
course quickly consummated at these
figures, and to make the deal equall v
binding on both parties a contract is
brought to light, setting forth the terms
>f the agreement and obligating the
farmers to deliver the poultry at some
town on a specified date. At least this
is what it is lucidly explained to be by
■ he generous stranger. It is duly signed
by the farmer who unsupeotingly believ
es others to be equally honest as himself.
Nothing more is beard of the man or

contract for some time, but the latter
finally turns uj ic the possession of a
third party who claims to be an innocent
purchaser, who demands not the delivery
of poultry but cash instead. The paper is
not a contract but is a negotiable note.
Obviously in all cases the victims are
financially giltedged..While tbeextent of
the swindle is only partially developed,
it is thought the amount will reach 91800
and may considerably exceed that sum.
