i The departure of Thomas .J. Griffin
3 last Thursday from O’Neill was fol
3 lowed by considerable activity on the
3 part of quite a long list of creditors of
3 tiie departed gent leman. Mr Griffin
3 had conducted a tailor shop in O’Neill
3 for about a year under the name of
3 Griffin Bros, and had contracted con -
3 slderable indebtedness. There are
3 executions now in tiie hands of tiie
3 sheriff: representing personal claims
to the amount of $319. Besides these
are a number of small accounts held
3 by parties who are making no effort
3 to recover. Over against tiie liabili
3 ties there are assets in the shape of
3 furnishings in the shop that will ag
3 gregate perhaps $200.
3 'Hu- building and lots tire covered
3 by a mortage of $1,743.15 held by the
3 Hazel man Lumber company. It is a
j, nicely tinislied building, erected last
L spring, and as good a frame structure
3 as there is in town.
3 All of the property is now in tiie
3) hands of the sheriff pending settle
merit with tiie creditors, Mr. Grip n
3 is at Deadvvood, S. I).

Rev. Amos Fetzer writes from
3| Wauseon, Ohio, that he will be borne
A in time to fill bis pulpit for'the Meth
? odist congregation next Sunday. Rev.
P Fetzer was called to Ohio two weeks
3 ago by the death of his brother.
3 A sergeant from the colored regiment
3 at Ft. Niobrara was in town Tuesday
, posting notices that a recruiting
' officer from the fort would be in town
Friday and Saturday of this week and
r. Sunday and Monday of next week to
enlist any men that might want to go
into the army in this vicinity. The
notices calljfor recruits from 21 to .'$5
years of age. The sergeant said that
tlie Ft. Niobrara band would be here
in l wo wr three weeks and give a con
cert. The band will make a tour of
the ElkhOrn valley and up the north
ern branch of the Northwestern to
Bonesteel.
Mrs. It. It. IMckson gave a “booster
brown” party last Bat urday afternoon
and evening. A chafing dish supper
was served, after which the main
amusements were cards and dancing.
A very enjoyable time was reported.
Those present were: Mesdames Gal
lagher, Evans, Stout, Weokes, Gilli
gan and Misses Evans and Sklrving.
When Frank Brittell went to his
slaughter yards one morning last week
to kill a fatted calf that lie would
have some nice veal for his customers,
I he younji critter was gone. The call
had leaped the pens and hastened
‘back to the country home from:
whence It came. But the little tiling
was doomed to the butcher's knife
It was brought back and in a short
time its quivering llesh was in the
shambles.
During this holiday season much ol
'Flic Frontier’s space is taken up by
O’Neill merchants, who have taken t(
advertising on a more elaborate scale
than ever before. A visit to any ol
these stores will convince our readers
that O’Neill has .trade emporuinsas
good as any in the country. Thej
want your trade and will give you as
good goods as can lie bought anywhere,
By reason of the crowded condition oi
t he paper some departments have tc
be left out, tlie remaining space being
devoted to local matters, believing
that this is what tlie majority of oui
readers are interested in.
The superciliousness of the average
railroad man is proverbial. A blue
coated brakeman of a passing trail!
tlie oilier morning exhibited his rail
road breeding extensively. lie was
expending bis feeble energy in an un
successful endeavor to load a heavy
trunk upon the cars when a kindly
tdtizen offered to assist and bent his
powerful frame to the aid of tlie
brakeman, and boosted the trunk
aboard. With freezing ingratitude,
and while tlie heavy burden was still
in air, tlie uniformed trainman turned
on his benefactor in frozen tones:
“Well, you are not much help.”
Probably some men would have drop
ped it right t here, tint our hero put
the trunk on, reminded the ingrate
that “Unit was a.nice way to thank a
man for helping you,” and quietly
turned away.
BOY FROZEN AT STUART
Sad Calamity Overtakes a 10-Year
Old Lad While on the Road. ‘
FOUND LYING BY THE ROADSIDE
Sent on an Errand and Falls From
His Horse.—Mother Couldn’t
Give Alarm till Morning.
This special from Stuart, dated the
15th, appeared in yesterday’s dallies:
Last evening about 6 o’clock Mrs.
Patrick Murphy sent her 10-year-old
boy on horseback to a neighbor’s a
couple of miles distant on an errand.
Two hours later the horse returned
home without the boy. Mr Murphy
was away from home and the mother,
being alone with smaller children, was
unable to give the alarm until this
morning. A search was instituted at
daylight and the boy was soon found,
lying dead by the roadside. The
theory is that he was thrown from his
horse and so badly stunned that he
froze to death before regaining cons
ciousness There was no sign that he
had struggled or made any effort to
get up.
