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

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.
