The fourth annual meet of the
Battle Creek Driving Park association
will be held at Battle Creek August
30, 31 and September 1. T. M. Morris,
formerly of this city, is secretary of
the association and some splendid
races are promised.
The Great Northern depot is again
open for business here, being in charge
of the traveling auditor, W. W. How
ard, for the present. Mr. West, the
agent, has been checked up and ex
pects to leave here the last of the
week for Minneapolis.
The many O’Neill friends of Thom
as Morris will be pleased to learn that
he is the father of a son who arrived at
liis home at Butte Creek last Sunday
night. At last reports Tom was said
to be getting along line and the boys
here are expecting him to “cough up”
at least a box of good Ilavannas in or
der’that they may properly celebrate
the event.
Graphic: O’Neill thinks they can
peel any ball team in this section of
the country with their Peelers. The
Atkinson team should organize and
take tiie conceit out of them.
O’Neill lays no special claim to the
Peelers. In fact, none of them are
residents of this city. However, if
Atkinson’s bump of overweening van
ity is beginning to hurt, she can prob
ably get it knocked off by making a
date with these country boys.
O. F. Biglin, as receiver of the Elk
horn Valley bank, through his attor
ney, A. F. Mullen, has begun fore
closure proceedings against the two
sections of McElhaney land against
which the bank held a mortgage. The
principal of the note sued upon is
$8,388.85, which with interest now
amounts to $10,486.10. C. L. McEl
iianey, Morna McElhaney and Harry
A. Cheney, as receiver of the bank of
Verdigre, are made defendants.
Ray Saberson, his brother Elmer
and a traveling man named Smith
came up from Allen last Thursday in
Ray’s Rambler touring car. They
made the trip of 100 miles in a little
over ten hoilrs and stopped in all the
towns along the line. Cutting out
the time spent in the various towns,
they must have hit about a 15 mile
clip which, considering the condition
of the roads, is good time. Elmer
Saberson returned home Monday
morning.
The Knights of Columbus picnic
down on T. V. Golden’s ranch Tues
day was attended by about all the
railroad could haul. There was every
variety of amusement features—ball
game, footraces, tishing, dancing and
plenty to eat and drink. It was an
entertainment extended to the ladies
by the K. C.’s, and now the ladies
may be expected to get their heads
together and plan to outdo their gal
lant entertainers, whom they declare
are the nicest lot of men in the world.
The Hanford Produce company’s
station was rilled last Saturday by the
two young Ilagerty boys and some
thing over $9 in money stolen. When
Mr. Yountiz, the manager of the sta
tion, discovered early in the evening
that his place had been robbed he re
ported the fact to the marshal and
night watch. Investigation fastened
suspicion on the two boys, who, with
three or four others, were found in a
restaurant having a feast of ice cream
out of their stolen funds. The ollicers
walked in upon them and Night
Watchman Kane searched the elder
Ilagerty .boy, who is twelve or thir
teen years of age, and found five silver
dollars besides some small change.
The boy protested that his father had
given him the money, but his protest
looked suspicious to the officers. Kane
then went to tile home of his parents
to lind out if the boy’s story was true
but says he could get no definite
answer from the boy’s father. Mr.
Hagerty came down witli the night
watch to the restaurant where the
whole bunch was being held up by the
marshal. The boy then confessed to
the theft and told how he and his
brother had planned and executed it.
The money found on the boy was
turned over to Mr. Yountiz and the
father agreed to replace the balance.
Burwcll Tribune: Congressman Kin
kaid was in town Thursday night.
He reports flourishing conditions over
the big Sixth and expresses great con
lidence in the future of this part of
the state. lie is getting around over
the district, meeting as many of his
constituents as possible, to learn the
needs, in the way of legislation, of the
district. The judge is a hard worker
in the interest of his people and
should be kept in his present position
unless it should transpire that he
could be given a seat in the upper
house of congress. He is entirely
worthy of it and the state would be
honored by putting him there.
What promises to be one of the most
exciting and interesting games of the
season will take place in this city on
Thursday, August 24. The opponents
of the local team will be the famous
and original Boston Bloomer Girls.
This team was first organized in 1892
by Mr. W. P. Needham, the manager,
and judging from the flattering press
notices being showered upon them,
our boys will have to play ball in or
der to secure a victory. The ladies
have their own palace car and have
traveled extensively, having played
in all the large cities of U. S. and Can
ada. The club has been strengthened
from year to year and their line-up
this season is the equal of anything in
the ameteur or semi-professional base
ball line. Don’t fail to see them.
Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Gllligan returned
Tuesday night from a three week’s
pleasure trip to die Pacilic Coast.
While away they visited Yellowstone
Park, where they spent a week view
ing the grandeur of that noted place.
They also visited the exposition at
Portland and spent several days on
the beach at Astoria. The doctor
says the west is all right to read
about, and part of it fit to hurridly
pass through, ibut the most of that
country where it is not irrigated is a
barren, desolate waste covered with
cactus and sage brush. There are a
few valleys where things look fairly
good, but nothing that he seen on the
trip could compare with grand old
Nebraska, and they returned home
better than ever satisfied with the
garden spot in which they live.
Notice.
Positively no hunting allowed on
Ditch Co. premises.—Ditch Co.
Ter, C. E. Kcevcr.
Minor Mention
The meeting last Saturday night to
consider a proposition from G. L. Ro
berg of Page for putting in a llouring
mill here resulted in nothing definite.
Mr. Roberg proposed to build a fifty
barrel mill, cost all complete and in
running order about $12,000. lie
asked for a lion us of $5,500—or more
properly, a bonus of $1,500 and a loan
from the city or citizens of $4,000.
This loan he proposed to repay by fur
nishing the motive power for the city
water works system. Those in at
tendance at the meeting expressed
themselves as desirous of having a
mill but thought that no inducement
could be offered whereby such a sum
of money could be raisea by subscrip
tion, in view of the fact that our citi
zens had already contributed about to
the limit to various enterprises that
have been undertaken this summer.
A Centerville, la, paper of recent
date contained this item concerning
one of our old settlers:
Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Allen entertained
at dinner Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Jos
eph Kinkade of Exline, Mrs. Mary A.
Stule of Columbus, Ind., T. B. Maring
and Mrs. Lucinda Maring of O’Neill,
Neb., and her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. B. Maring. Last Tuesday was the
lirst time the Maring family had all
met together in. twenty-two years. T.
B. Maring was a resident of this coun
ty for many years, but had not been
here since 181)0. He srid he had kept
pretty well posted in regard to our
improvements, but had no idea of the
court house, library, postottice and
churches being such magniticent
structures as they are. Mr. Maring
was a resident of Caldwell township.
He came there in 1855 and removed to
Nebraska in 1882. He was elected
justice of the peace several times In
Caldwell township on the republican
ticket where the township was one of
the strong democratic precincts, and
says he married 28 couples during his
administration. His many old friends
here will be glad to -meet him once
more and learn that lie has prospered.
Mr. Maring returned last week from
his Iowa trip and reports a most
pleasant time among the old familiar
scenes.

Bumper Crops in Northern Minnesota
and North Dakota.
The crops m Northern Minnesota
and North Dakota were never better.
Thousands of harvest hands will be
required in that country to help the
farmers to harvest. The Great North
ern Railway has now ranged for spec
ial low rates to assist the farmers in
being able to secure competent help,
occasioned by the large crop and ex
tensivs railroad building in North
Dakota, which, in itself, employs a
good many hands. In the western
part of Nort Dakota free government
land can be had under the homestead
laws. Go and get a home now and
and pay expenses while investigating.
There are thousands of people who
went to North Dakota as farm labor
ers who are now land owners. For
rates and detailed information call on
your local agent or write to F. I.
