The Frontier understands the Galena Lumber company comes into possession of the Sniggs building and will transfer its lumberyards to the same, while Mr. Sniggs will move elsewhere and continue his black smith business. George Whitney went to Cody, Wyo., last Thursday night to look for an opening to put in a drug store. George is an energetic, hustlingyoung man and should he decide to locate in the city among the mountains his many O’Neill friends will wish him success. Mrs. Grant Hatfield met with a painful accident Thursday last, when she smashed a thumb flat while run ning a^sewing machine. The injured member did not have to be amputated but it caused a temporary fainting spell and left a distressing wound for several days. Do not forget that the ladies of the Presbyterian church will have for sale, Saturday, April 2, in the Bazel man building, useful and fancy arti cles, Also all sorts of good things for your Easter Sunday dinner. Miss Bentley’s Class of young ladies will serve ice cream during the afternoon. The following item, relating tc former residents of O’Neil, is from the Lynch Journal: “Miss Nettie Harvey of Wausa is in town today. She informs us that her father sold his personal property at Gross and will move to Wausa where the girls have a millinery store and very much pleased with the town and business.” Count Pulaski of Omaha, a former subject of czar of Russia but a citizen of the United States for more than twenty years, and for some years the district agent of the Fidelity Insur ance company of Philadelphia, was in O’Neill several days this week in the interests of his company. The count made many friends while with us and will be a welcome visitor when he comes again. M. L. Weekly of Spraytown, Ind., has bought the Swanson place adjoin ing D. J. Cronin’s farm and will erect buildings thereon and begin farming at once. Mr. Weekly comes to Holt county through the missionary effort of John Robertson of Joy, who sold him the land. Mr. Weekly’s son, R. H., is an educational worker and went to Wayne Monday to take a course at the normal. A bunch of young sportsmen went to Neligh Monday to play the aspir ants for baseball honers of that town a game. Like true gladiators our lads came home wearing the crowns of victory. After the Neligh chaps were vanquished on the diamond, they undertook to regain the day with a foot race and put up a purse of $10 which John Nolan of O’Neill easily captured. It was a day of vic tory for O’Neill and defeat for Neligh. Disaster overtook Frank Brittell again, when on Thursday last he got mixed up in a runaway and came out with a bleeding, bruised and torn head and a wrecked vehicle. The wounds were not of a serious nature though Frank was bespattered with blood and had a badly torn scalp. The runaway was the result the sudden changing of the raging winds last Thursday which caused flapping-and pounding enough to scare any horse to death. Anthony Haley of Creighton was loitering around O’Neill Wednesday last and that evening rode off a sad dle horse belonging to J. P. Gallagher which stood behind his store. Sheriff Hall was put upon his trail and Thursday evening had him in jail at Creighton. By the passing of another twenty-four hours he was in jail at O’Neill. Then on Saturday friends came over from Creighton and bailed him out of limbo. Mr. Gallagher re covered his horse. Later reports from the fire north west of O’Neill last week shows that the damage was not as great as at first reproted Ab Wilcox was not burned out, although he had a close call. The principal loss in that sec tion was hay, many farmers losing their entire supply. So far as The Frontier is able to ascertain there were no houses burned. It regrets to learn, however, that its old friend A. W. Dodge sustained the loss of his barn and other out buildings. C. J. Viquist was among the losers to the extent of nine large hay stacks. It was a close call for many in that sec tion and should be a lasting lesson to everybody about setting out fires. This tale of dispair and heroism, worthy the days of Richard the Lion Heart, appeared in the daily prints from Atkinson: “John Copp, an old man afflicted with paralysis, had a narrow escape from the fire which raged in this section last week. He was helpless and alone at his home, and lay in bed and watched the flames creep swiftily toward his home, and no sign of help was near. He had given up hope of rescue and was watching the flames devour the barns and outbuildings, and rushing across the dry grass at sixty miles an hour, when a band of horsemen from Atkinson rode furiously into the yard, leaped from their horses and burned NEWS from McManus* store ♦ • * Ladies’ Tailor Suits—Blue or black chiviott, trimmed neatly, latest style, $12. * Scotch cheviott, light colors, highly trimmed, $i6-$i6.5o Plain gray, better quality, $22.50.

When it comes to paying Easter bonnet bills, O’Neill husbands can re flect with gratitude that they have not proselyted to the faith of the Mormons. II. Bradley was up from Inman last Friday to get another batch of sale bills, he having to postpone his sale last week on account of bad weather. The sale occurred the 29th. Miss Myra Brainard, a niece of O, W. Smith, departed Saturday for her home at Minneapolis after a visit here. She was accompanied by one ol Mr. Smith’s little daughters. G. L.

Ruth Klrdy (lead).Anna Morrow Kate Garstoue (1st comedy)_Louise Moran FannyDanvllle( walklngladyJMarguriteDlxon The greater number of the members of this company are personally and favorable known to most of the eitzens of O’Neill, and we feel safe in predict ing that this play will be well rendered by our friends from our sister town of Spencer. This play was put on at Spencer on March 17 and we un derstand it had the largest and most appreciative audience that was ever given to either a home talent or out side troop in Boyd county. The Spencer Advocate has the fol lowing to say about it: We under stand the “Lancashire Lass” will gc to O’Neill and Atkinson in the neai future. If they do those towns maj look for something good with no feai of disappointment. Spencer has don< herself brown in the dramatic lim this winter and spring and has receiv ed much merited praise. The town ii alive and when outside entertain ments of a satisfactory character di not show up home talent comes to thi rescue. And by the way never ha any dramatic company “come up th pike” yet that equaled our home tai ent, any way.
