PAGE PEOPLE GET INTO COUNTY COOfiT Frisky Husband Causes a Riple of Excitement and is Arrested. $200 BINDS HIM OVER Takes Boy From Wife and Trouble Ensues.—Threatens to Run Streets With Blood. Tuesday and Wednesday of ibis week tbe county court whs occupied with a peace warrant case from Page. J. A. Spear whs arrested on complaint of Ed E. Hunter and warrant issued by Justice Hunt of Puge, who directed the sheriff to take the defendant before County Judge Selah. Spear was brought'over here Saturday and released on his own recognizance to appear Tuesday for hearing. The case came on Tuesday at 1 o’clock and a number of witnesses were called. County Attorney Mullen prosecuted andE H. Benedict defended. The testimony brought out in substance that Spear had threatened to drench the streets of Page with the blood of men wbo were telling tales of bis unsavory conduct nnd unlawful freedom with other men’s wives. The wife of Spear and little boy were stopping temporarily at the home of a neighbor because of real or fancied unfaithfulness of tbe hus band and father and last week one day Spear went to the place where bis wife was stopping and asked to see Mrs. Spear, but was refused admittance. He forced himself into the bouse and got possession of the boy. The lady of the house went to the street and called for help, a number of men responding to the call. Spear appeared with the boy and then it was that the words and threats of violence were indulged in. The court placed defendant under $200 bonds to appear on the first day of the next sitting of district court for trial. ADVO—At J. P. Gallagher’s. J. C. Harnish, E. J. Mack, It. It. Dickson, S. J. Weekes, andJ. J. King,, are O’Neillites in attendance on the 44th annual communication of the Masonic Grand Lodge, at Omaha this week. Mr. Harnish is the retiring Master of Garfield Lodge of O’Neill, and Mr. King is the duly commissioned and accredited representative of the grand jurisdiction of Manitoba, and Mr. Dickson is Master elect of Garfield Lodge. Decoration day passed without the rendition of the scheduled program, owing to the precautionary measures against smallpox. However, the graves were appropriately decorated. The old soldiers weut to the grave ya-ds with floral tributes and laid them upon tbe graves of their fallen comrades. Much of the day was spent by O’Neill people in decorating the graves of their de ceased relatives. ADVO—At J. P. Gallagher’s. Mr. anil Mrs. Arthur Cowperwaithe are in Omaha this week where Mrs. C. went for the purpose of undergoing a suagical operaation. They were Jaccorn panied by J. A. Cowperthwaite who re turned home Friday. He says that crops around O’Neill are in far better con dition than they are in the eastern part of the state and that several farmers in the vicinity of his old home, Beaver Crossing, contemplate coming to Holt county this fall to purchase land. E. S. Gilmour of Ewing was in the city todav visiting friends. E. S. has announced his candidacy for county clerk subject to the action of the re publican county convention. Mr. Gil mour is an old time resident of the county and is one of Ewing's most pro gressive business men. Should he re ceive the nomination there is no question but what he would be elected by a nice majority, as his candidacy for the legis lature last fall, when he was defeated by only two votes, demonstrated his pop ularity with Holt oounty voters. ADVO—At J . P. Gallagher’s. Marrage license have been issued the past week by County Judge Selah to the following parties: Victor M. Rohr and Hrriet E. Eley, Dustin; Leslie Lamason aud Mary Skeltor.

It was made the occasion of elaborate wedding festivi ties, feasting and dancing being indulg ed in Tuesday afternoon and evening. A large number of guests were enter tained both from town and the country. AROUND THE WORLD. Senator Deitrich Will Go.—Discusses Irrigation. An Omaha Bee staff correspondent writes from Washington May 81: With his grip full of recommenda tions for posmasters, the establishment of rural free delivery routes, postofllce inspectorships, consulships, and other goverment jobs, Senator Charles H. Dietrch of Hastings came to town Mem orial day, inoideotially bringing along a few trunks full of wardrobe indicative of his purpose to spend some time in the capital city of tlie nation. He will ■lot tarry long in Washington, however, for be has made up his miud to join the party of senators and representatives to leave New York June 20 on a tour around the world iD a government transport. When Senator Dietrich left Nebraska for the east he had the matter of this trip under consideration. He wanted to see oui new possessions in the far Pacific, so as to be able to legislate in telligently on questions that will present themselves to the Fifty-seventh congress for solution, so he said, but he was doubtful whether he could arrange his business to permit four months' absence from the Uuitcd States, the length of time scheduled to take. But since he left Nebraska he has been able to make a decision favorable to taking the trip, and be will join the party in New York on the day the transport is booked to leave on its journey around the globe. The senator was looking the picture of good health as be sat in his temporary quarters in the capitol, in the room re cently occupied by Senator Burrows of Michigan. Asked about the result of the irriga tion conference in Omaha early this week, he said: “My suggestion that the government should build reservoirs in the arid and semi-arid states and own them, met with very favorable consideration from tlie representatives of the government present. It seams to be the most practi cal solution of a troublesome question, in view of the widely divergent views held by Mr. Mead of the Department of Agriculture on one side and Mr. Max well on tbe other. Although the latter was not present at our meeting, his position wag known to almost everyone present, “My suggestion that these reservoirs could be built with convict labor also met with favorable commenr, and as the labor leaders in Nebraska with whom I talked seemed to bleieve it was feasible, I can see no reason why the government should not derive benefit, as it would not interfere with skilled labor, none being needed to build these reservoirs. The flow of water in inter state streams was also a subject of serious consideration, and congress will undoubtedly have to consider the matter and enact legislation which, while not interfering with the state laws, will remedy the now known defects. Tbe meeting was porductive of good. It brought tbe representatives of several states together and gave us new in centives for united work.” As was expected, our neighbors up and down the line, north and south, hither and yon, have got very much ex cited over smallpox at O'Neill. It is strange how wild rumors fly as does the wind. Somebody hurts a toe and soon it is talked around that a leg was broken; another steps through a hole in the sidewalk and the last fellow that tells it says he was run over by a railroad train. If there is smallpox in O’Neill, O'Neill people don't know it. As was stated Dy The Frontier last week, there had been one case of smallpox in town but the patient was removed to the country. Twelve days have elapsed since the thing first started and every necessary precaution has been taken by our people to not allow the disease to get started in towu. People who are in clined to make a mountain out of a molehill have succeeded admirably with reference to smallpox at O’Neill. The Stuart ilerald says “decoration day was absorbed with great ceremony in the various cities of this great uni verse.” The Frontier is not prepared to coutradict that the "absorption” is attended with great ceremony in Stuart on this particular day, but we have failed to note any ceremony about the “absorption” around O’Neill at aDy time. TAKEN UP—On my place 10 miles north and four miles east of O’Neill, on Weduesday, May 8, 1901, one dark bay horse about 8 years old; weight about 900; star in torehead. Owner may have same by proving property and paying expenses.—Charles Berger. 46 2 Don’t be imposed on—Insist on the original Gold Medal Coffees they can’t be matched. At J. P. Gallagher’s.
