ford Parker, Mr. Parker retaining a
small interest in the bank. This is the
oldest bank in Boyd couniy and its
statements s*'ow up a very caeditable
business. Mr. Deitrick is a valuable
man to have at the head of such an
institution. Be will continue his resi
dence in O’Neill, however, and retain
liis business interests here. Mr. Parker,
the retiring president of the bank, we
uuderstand will remain in Boyd county.

It is generally conceded that Edgar
Allen Poe oiled the wheels of his head
with wine before entertaining the guest
from the plutonian shore and listening

gist’s worst when he wrote the screed
about M P. Einkaid and H. O. Jaokson.
The Independent either has but little
regard for a reputation as a newspaper
or else bad the nightmare.

turbing the peace. The trouble oc
curred Tuesday evening when the three

John J. Harrington called the sheriff
to his aid yesterday morning to recover

of shoes under her garments and started
out She was observed in the act of
taking the shoes Deputy Sheriff Brad

the affair. _
At the regular meeting of Kent Chap
ter No. 139, order of Eastern Star held

G. E. Hubbard has commenced
action in the district court for the re
covery of a farm and six head of horses
which he claims to have been swindled
out of by a patent light man hailing
from Kentucky. I. F. Louder and A.
C. King are made defendants in the
suit. The files in «the case allege that
plaintiff was induced to buy a patent
postless fence at $3,500 by misrepresen
tation. Louder, it is stated, made
Hubbard believe that he (Louder) was
buying a half interest in tbe patent and
had men to buy the right for several
counties in South Dakota and Nebraska
at double the figure it was costing them.
The ultimate result, it U stated, was the
loss to Hubbard of his farm and six
horses, which have passed into the
hands of Louder & King.
J. r. Mann expects to move to
Chicago about the middle of next month.
Mr. Mann has been expecting to leave
O’Neill but did not intend to go before
July. He hassold his residence here to
S. J. VVeekes, but still retains the
ownership of the store, the manage
ment of which will revert to his sister
Kate. Mr. Mann has been identified
with the business interests of O'Neill
for about eighteen years and from a
small beginning has worked up until he
has one of the best stores in this part of
Nebraska and it may be said none
better can be found anywhere. He re
cently became interested in a wholesale
concern in Chicago and goes that city
to give his business personal attention.
His interests here, Mr. Mann says, will
continue the same and although he
moves away will frequently visit O’Neill.
The Frontier regrets the departure of
Mr. Mann and bis e9teemahle wife from
our city, but extends best wishes for
prosperity in the big city.
Deputy Sheriff Bradstreet returned
last Saturday evening from Ponca bar*
ing in custody Thomas Morrison, who,
with bis brother Lee, now is confined to
the county jail. Lee Morrison, it will
be remembered had a preliminary hear
ing before County Judge Selah last week
and was bound over to the district
court in $1,500 bail, in default of which
he was placed in jail. The offioeis have
been on the look out for Thomas ever
since the stabbing affair four weeks ago.
Deputy Bradstreet learned that he was
in Dixon oounty and knowing of a
friend of the family by the name of
Lear who lives near Newcastle and
.surmising that Thomas was there com
municated with the sheriff of Dixon
county, who went to the Lear plaoe and
there learned that Morrison had gone
north to the Missouri river and hired
out to a farmer. He was followed up
amt aiicavcu at iuc iniuici a uuluc, um*
teen miles north of Newcastle. Mor
rison claimed to be innocent and affect
ed surprise at being arrested. In fact
he so strongly protested his innocence
that the Dixon oounty sheriff thought
he might have the wrong man. How
ever, the sheriff deoided .to hold him
and communicate with Holt countv
authorities. Deputy Bradstreet went to
Ponca Friday and found that the right
man had been taken. At first Morrison
denied any connection with the stab
bing affair and affected to not know
Bradstreet. But when the deputy
sheriff put the irons on him for a drive
from Ponca to Waterberyy where they
were to board the train for O’Neill, he
cast aside the affectations and talked
freely of the trouble with Schweitzer.
It had been thought that Thomas had
done none of the stabbing, but in his
talk with Brad, the deputy sheriff says,
he told in a boasting way how he had
stabbed at Schweitzer three times, but
“guessed he only got him twice.” The
knife which he had desperately wielded
was found conceited in his shoe and as
the weapon was taken in charge by
Brad, the undaunted prisoner remarked,
“That’s the best knife you ever had.”
It is a common pocket knife with the
blades keenly whetted. It seems Thom
as is equally implicated with Lee and
they both fear that the case will go
against them. The cause of the trouble,
as before stated in these columns, is a
dispute over jhe location of a fence. It
seems that the Morrison’s have some
school land adjoining Schweitzer's
place, and they claim Schweitzer’s fence
is over on their land. They went to
Schweitzer’s house to order him to
move the fence. Schweitzer agreed to
have a line surveyed and thus get the
correct location of the fence. Words
began to come fast and angry about
this time and Schweitzer ordered the
Morrison’s off from his place, where
upon they jumped upon him with knives
and cut him up pretty badly about the
face and neck. Thomas will have his
preliminary hearing tomorrow and the
case will probably come on in the dis
trict court May 9, the jury being called
for that date.

One wrong letter sometimes does
considerable damage. In The Frontier
of March 14 appeared an error in the
initial of a name that incriminates an
' innocent man aud we hereby cheerfully
make the correction. In speaking of
Deputy Sheriff Bradst reefs visit to
Denver for the arrest of the man from
Inman who sold mortgaged property
the name of J. H. Riley appeared where
it should have been J. L. Riley. It was

“By Force of Impulse."
“By Force of Impulse” presented by
the Academy Dramatic company last
Monday was one ot the greatest snoceses
ever presented by this very successful
company. All the parts were well
taken each performer seeming determin
ed to outdo themselves and win fresh
plaudits for their company and that
they succeeded in doing so Is evident
from the praise showered upon them
company collectively and individual ly
| since the performance.
McGreevey's orchestra furnished the
music and the applause they received
at the conclusion of each number was
evidence conoluaive that the fine class
of music presented did not fail upon
unappreciative lass O’Neill music lovers
are hopeful that they will have many
’opportunitiesof listening to this orches
tra.
The play was put on under the super
vision and direction of Thomas V. Gol
den and the high grade of dramatic
excellence shown waa largely due to his
excellent training.
The gross receipts of the play were
$180.45. The company will reproduce
the play at Spencer on Saturday eve ning
Msy 1 for the benefit of the Catholic
church at that place.
M. R. Sullivan was an ideal appear
ing old father and his stern dignified
bearing was sufficient to "quash” the
heart of the most enthusiastic lover.
R. J. McGinnis, as Colonel Morrell
was a "chip of the old block” and while
a stern adherent to the "code”, had
the charity to beg forgiveness from
those whom he had so shortly before
condemned.
O. F. Biglin as a hero was classed as
a number one, but there are some that
say be might have been more lover-like,
but then his wife and- were in the
audienoe and Odie did not want to
get into trouble.
Clarence Campbell and John Fallon
as two dudes "whose mental facilities
had not kept pace with their physioal’'
were the two "hits” of the evening.
The boys took their parts fine and give
promise of becoming dudes
in reality if they keep up the good start
made Monday night.
Chas Stout wrs an ideal officer and we
have heard many of the "charming*
creatures say that they never knew
Charlie was so handsome before. This
is all caused, say those whom nature
was less charitable with, in looks, to
the splendled uniform he wore.
Jim Donohoe, they say, has a good
"phiz'* for a lawyer and bis bald "pate”
which was false added dignity to his
"posish.” Bis interpretatien of the
character of Dollerclutch was equal to
that of the past masters of the art and
his acting was equal to his interpretation.
M. H. McCarthy as the servant feel
ing himself above the position of a men
ial was o. k. and his facial grimaces,
strutting attitude and red tie stormed
the galleries. If Mike used the same
perserverance in his every day walks of
life as he did in the play, we will bet
our last summer’s bat that another year
will not cap the forty odd he now has
passed without being added to the rankB
of the benedicts.
Miss Alice Cronin appeared as Miss
Anastasia Maitland, a gushing maiden
of forty-five summers and winters with
out number. She was a genuine pic
ture of "charming smplicity” and her
clever personification of the character
won many plaudits from the audience.
Miss Tees O’Sullivan as Adrienne
Lowville, the wealthy, aristocratic and
haughty beauty, daughter of the million
aire railroad owner, was perfection and
the haughtier which she treated the
would-be despoiler of her happiness was
equal to that seen upon the stage in any
city.
Miss Maggie Hurley in the character
of Hilda Wallace, the wronged wife,
was one of the strong characters of the
play and Miss Hurley was equal to the
part bringing out the fine points of that
character to the best advantage. Miss
Maggie is no novice on the stage and in
be* latest venture she sustained her
reputation as a clever actress.
He Kept Ilia Leg.
Twelve years ago J. W. Sullsvan, of
Hartford, Ccnn., scratched his leg with
arustvwire. Inflammation and blood
poisoning set in. For two yrars he suff
ered intensely. Then the best doctors
urged amputation, “but,” he writes, “I
used one bottle of Electric Bitters and
11-2 boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve
and my leg was sound and well as ever."
