The only objection landseekers
have to Holt county this year is that

They both claimed to have been well
entertained while attending the
heavy weight ball game. A1 says he
throughly enjoyed himself and we
know Brady took charge of a little
loose silver some of the boys wanted

entertained. Poor Church, he is

refuses to be comforted.

for seventeen years, the last thirteen
at Hastings. The funeral was attend

John M. Stewart has purchased the
bowling alley from Pat Sullivan and is
having it repainted and fixed up for
tile rush of winter business. John
has had the alleys planed over', bought
new balls and pins and when he opens
up for business will have as good an
alley as there is in the state. Bowling
was quite a fad in O'Neill last fall, win
ter and spring and in fact until some
sport started the hand ball, since which
time the latter game has been all the
go. It’s a great game, a good developer
of muscle and a reducer of superfluous
flesh. We would suggest that our erst
while friend of the Atkinson Graphic
try it.
E. F. Bowen came to Holt county
from South Omaha a year ago last
spring and moved onto the old Keeley
farm, about eight miles northeast of
O’Neill, which he laid purchased a
short time before. Last year M r. Bowen
raised a fairly good crop but not near
as large as it would have been had not
tiie drought nipped it a little. Buthe
did not grumble, growl or curse the
country, for he realized that in ail
farming countries they have olf years.
This year Mr. Bowen raised a splendid
crop and in anticipation of the yield
built a large granary to hold the grain.
He commenced threshing, but when
about half through, had to suspend
operations to build an addition to his
granary. This gives some idea of the
small grain yield in this county. He
is going to have more than twice as
much grain as he expected. But he
ain’t kicking—no, he’s not built that
way. Stand up for Holt county.

dd FIVE YEARS IN THE PEN .,V.
kk x>J
XXXXS£XXXiKXXXXXXiKXXXXXXXX>.X
The trial of William Barnet t, aceus
of horse stealing, mention of which
was made hist week, was concluded
and given to the jury Saturday even
ing. They were out but an hour
bringing in a verdict of guilty. Judge
Harrington sentenced the prisoner to
five years in the penitentiary at bard
labor. The trial was a hard fought
battle. Attorney E. H. Whelan repre
sented thedefendent and made a hard
light to save his client from the pen.
His plea to the jury was exceptionally
strong and well delivered. But his
eloquence was of no avail as the guilt
was proven to the jury beyond a ques
tion of reasonable doubt. Barnett's
mother, step-fat iter and brother swore
that he was home at “Gienwood, la.,
April JO, the night the horse was
stolen, while representative citizens
of southern ‘Holt testified that they
had seen him in that part of the
county on that date, which was the
day the horse was stolen. After the
trial Thomas, step-father of Barnett,
was arrested upon complaint of t lie
county attorney charged with perjury.
He was given a preliminary hearing
Tuesday and was bound over to the
district court in the sum of $300. The
county attorney says he has a strong
case against him.

says the beer is so popular that people
break into tlie vault to get it in the
dead hours of night. They cannot
wait until morning. That may he hut
if v.tts more likely an unquenchable
thirst for the foamy heave rage that
caused them to risk the penitentiary
to get it.
The steel range canvassers have stir
red up tIre local dealers a little and

columns of your local papers. Write
your ads and give prices. The print

ner and the prospective purchaser
when he sees prices quoted will call

in that line. It’s the way to get busi
ness, no matter what line you handle.

lie feared Goethje would do him bodily
injury. It appears that on or about

crops belonging to Goethje and the
latter impounded them. When the
farmer went after his cattle they were

damages and Goethje retained four
head to reimburse him for the dam
ages he alleges the cattle did him.
The amount he claims is$89.00, and he
received a judgment fur tills amount
in county court Tuesday. On account
of the damages growing out of the cat
