GAN FOLLOW BUILDINGS
Improvements Moved From Real Es
May Be Levied on for Taxes.
LAW ALSO IMPOSES A FINE
Delinquent Taxes Can Not Be Evaded
By Taking Buildings Off of Real
t: Estate Against Which ’Tis Due
There is a query in the minds of a
good many as to whether or not under
the present law relative to the collec
tion of delinquent taxes buildings and
other improvements can be removed
from lots or parcels of ground against
which there are delinquent taxes.
The query rises by an occasional piece
of property where the taxes have been
allowed to accumulate for a number
of years and aggregated a sum
amounting to as much or more than
the property is worth. Some owners
of such property entertain the idea
that the buildings can be removed
from the lot against which taxes are
delinquent, the lot only being subject
to the taxes.
The law contains a wise provision
to meet this condition. Section ICO
of the law reads:
“It shall be unlawful for any per
son to tear down or remove any build
ing situated on any real estate while
there are any delinquent taxes unpaid
thereon. Any person so offending
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
on conviction thereof shall be fined in
any sum not exceeding $100 and costs,
and shall moreover be liable to the
county in a civil action for the
amount of all delinquent taxes on
such real estate. The lien of such
taxes shall follow and adhere to such
building or the materials thereof
wherever situated, or into whatever
form the«ame mav be converted. It
shall be the duty of the county treas
urer whenever advised of the tearing
down or removal of any such building
to issue a distress warrant for the
amount of the delinquent taxes on
such real estate, and to follow such
building or material, and levy on and
sell the same as personal property to
satisfy the taxes.”
It will be Seen from the foregoing
that buildings removed from reale.1
tate against which there is unpaid
delinquent taxes can not only be fol
lowed and levied upon for the taxes,
but the person so moving them is sub
ject to a fine.

Spencer Advocate: Hugh O’Neill
and wife who live over at Anncar,
have had a telephone in their house
about two weeks and a bouncing baby
boy put in an appearance there, last
Sunday, and made application for a
permanent residence. Of course the
lad would not want to put up where
there are none of the modern improv
ments for he is rather modern him
self.
The funeral of John II. Hopkins,
who died on Monday, was held yester
day forenoon and was very largely at
tended. The deceased had been in ill
health for some months and had ling
ered between life and death for sev
eral weeks. He was cared for at the
home of friends here in town
during the last few weeks of
his illness. Mr. Hopkins was
one of the county’s leading citi
zens, one of our earliest settlers. He
had been prominent in politics and
was warden of the state penitentiary
under Governor Poynter.
Spencer Advocate: Peter Greeley
of Holt county, one of the most enter
prising and progressive farmers in
north Nebraska, was in town last
Tuesday with a load of fine apples
which he sold to our people in a hurry
at $1 per bushel. Mr. Greeley set out
an orchard a few years ago and now
he is reaping the benefits. He esti
mates that his apple trees this year
will produce not less than 1,200 bush
els of marketable ap les for which he
will get not less than $1 per bushel.
Pretty good income from a whole farm
and the orchard covers a small portion
of the farm.
Editor Manville of the Spencer Ad
vosate, accompanied by a young man
friend, was a Frontier caller this
morning, having come over to attend
the fair. Charles says they got in
town late last night and were unable
to find a better lodging place than a
hay loft In a livery barn. This is not
because there are not plenty of good
lodging places provided for the fair
rush but because Charley didn’t know
about it. And, too, there would have
been many O’Neill homes open to en
tertain him had they known of his
predicament. The hotel men should
refer applicants for lodging to the
entertainment committee instead of
turning them out to spend the night
on the streets or in livery barns.
FIRST DAY A HOMIER

SPEED ON SHOWS GREAT SPEED
Dave Stannard’s 3-Year-Old Surprises
People and Comes in for a Share
of the Money.
The first day of the O’Neill race
meet proved a gratifying and flatter
ing success to the management as
well as to the enthusiastic crowd in
attendance. The program has been
changed somewhat from the original
design, the various attractions at
the fair grounds coming off in the af
ternoon. All business concerns in
town by mutual consent close at 1 o’
clock for the afternoon. This gives
everybody an opportunity to attend
the fair.
The result of yesterday’s races were:
2:25 class, 3-year-old trot, purse $200
—1st, Count de Kayville owned and
drove by T. J. Cox of Ewing; 2nd,
Speed On, owned and drove by David
Stannard of O’Neill; 3d, Shady G,
owned by M. H. Griffin of White Lake
and driven by John Kay. This event
attracted much attention and ap
plause because the three 3-year-olds
are all Holt county bred colts, sired
by Shade On. O’Neill people were
gratified to see the magniflclent show
ing made by Stannard’s Speed On,
which showed as good going qualities
as any horse on the track. Time 2:33.
Four horses were entered in the
second race as follows:
2:25 class trot or pace, purse $200—
1st, Moore, owned and drove by Chas.

Today’s Races.
As The Frontier goes to press there
are two heats in the running race to
come off and one heat in the 2:30 trot.
In the three-ciuarter running dash
between Lony Mack and Bay Billy
the former won the race for a purse
of $60.
Moore won in the first harness
race, Shady G secend, Speed On third
and Miss Pacton fourth.
The standing of the horses in the
first two heats of the second trot is
Shan O’Rue first, Harry Booth se
cond, Paspinna third and'Anna Rush
fourth.
Clearwater won over the Peelers on
a score of 11 to 12.

ning race, only one heat of which has

today to take in the races.
Tlie divers and sundry candidates
for office are making the most of a
good opportunity by spending the
week in O’Neill.
Mrs. Minor and daughter,Mrs.Greg
ory, came up from Lincoln Friday
last, going to Atkinson Saturday.
Mrs. Minor has real estate interest in
this county and was up looking after
the same.
The Frontier has not been up to
its usual standard the past few weeks
because of a heavy run of work and a
shortage of help. This week we have
been unusally pressed with work and
with trying to get a few hours layoff
with the rest of the town the paper
comps out a little less newsy.
