According to a statement issued
from the office of the state food com
mission dairymen have received
$138,000 more for the cream sold to
creameries the last six months on ac
count of the pure food law than they
would without such a law to regulate
weights and measures. On the other
hand butter consumers, says the cir
cular, are beneflted at the rate of
$152,136 annually by the elimination
of the short weight graft that had
obtained among creameries before the
enactment of the pure food law.
When you buy a wagon get a Stude
baker. In 1886 we sold Studebaker
wagons to men now living in Holt
County and some of them are still in
running order today. And there is
not another brand of wagon that was
ever sold for the money that has
done any better. There are Stude
baker wagons in Holt County that
have been running twelve and lifteen
years and never had a tire set. We
have every size tire and three sizes of
gears to chose from at very low prices
considering the quality. Call and see
them before you buy. Neil Brennan.
The assault case started before Just
ice J. A. Golden the fore part of Aug.
against Henry Kasperski of Inman
township was tried to a jury Monday.
The jury found the defendant guilty
and the court fined him $5 and costs,
amounting in all to $36. Joseph Za
barowski was the complaining wit
ness and charged that Kasperski
pointed a gun at him and fired. The
defense was that the defendant shot
at a dog, not at the complaining wit
ness at all, and evidence was given
tending to show that the dog was dead
and Zabarowski alive. An interpret
er was needed in the examination of
the witnesses who are Bohemians.
The jury consisted of five O’Neill men,
D. A. Doyle, J. J. McCafferty. John
Carton, Sheridan Simmons and F. G
Clift, and it took them several hours
to arrive at a verdict.
J. C. Hoi iskey's grocery store was
robbed last Sunday, the thief securing
six or seven dollars in mcney. En
trance was effect to the store through
a back window, from which a glass
was cut. The money drawers were
rifled and what cash it contained tak
en except about 50 cents in pennies.
Besides the silver, Mr. Horiskey says
there was perhaps $1.50 in pennies in
the drawer, but the thief it seems did
not want to carry so many coppers and
left a part of them. Mr. Horiskey
[says he could not tell whether any
goods had been taken, as a large
quantity might be carried off and not
missed.
A stranger, giving his name as S. L.
Rischer and claiming to be buying
horses for the government, stopped at
the Evans Tuesday night and Wednes
day morning offered to pay his hotel
bill with a bank check, but was “turn
ed down” because Landlord Evans had
read in a daily paper that a man by
that name had visited Neligh and iss
ued worthless checks to the amount
of $5,600. He deposited a check for
$5,000 in a bank at Neligh issued
against a Sioux City bank but tele
phone connections with the Sioux City
bank brought the information that no
money was to the credit of a person by
that name there. He "bought” horses
at Neligh and issued checks
to the above amount, but did
not take any of the horses, ex
plaining that he would take them lat
er. After his arrival in O’Neill Mr.
Evans informed Sheriff Hall of his
presence here and the sheriff at Neligh
was notified but sent word that the
man was not wanted there because he
had got nothing on his worthless
checks.
Envious Atkinson
Atkinson Graphic: What promises
to be a great feast for the base ball
fans will be the games at O’Neill next
Sunday and Monday between the
crack Verdigree team and Parker’s
Pets who claim the championship of
the northwest by reason of a lucky
winning streak in the last few games
played. The Verdigree bunch are a
swift aggregation and ought to win
both games and the championship.
Division Petitions.
The Jackson county petition was
held legal today and granted by the
board on a vote of three to four.
The board of supervisors convened
Wednesday morning to the listen to
grievences of the various agitators
who want to divide Holt county and
found petitions on file for the follow
ing proposed new counties to be sliced
out of Holt’s territory.
Meadow, petitioned for by Atkinson
people, and comprising a desirable
territory taking in the whole north
western part of the county from about
a mile this side of Emmet and six
miles south.
Alfalfa county, petitioned for by
Grattan and Sheilds township people
and others adiacent to those town
ship, setting out a chunk in the north
central portion of the county.
Fountain county, petitioned for by
Chambers people and comprising all of
the south end of the county from six
miles south of O’Neill and extending
to within twelve miles of the east line
of the county.
Eden county, petitioned by Ewing
and Page and comprising a strip of
territory on the east end of the county
twelve miles wide and the full length
of the county north and south, mak
ing the very odd proportion of 12 x 40
miles.
Jackson county, petitioned for by
the same petitioners that presented
the Alfalfa petition, and cutting out
and oddly divided territory taking in
the extreme southwest part of the
county, with lines diverging up
through all the other territory except
Meadow.
The Meadow county petition was
granted by the board yesterday, Al
fafa rejected, and now the fight is on
with the Jackson county petition,
which has been remonstrated by rep
resentatives of the other proposed
counties, lead on by Atkinson, with
W. E. Scott of that place performing
the legal stunts. The remonstrators
allege that the petition is illegal, that
some of the signatures were secured
by fraud, that the petition is not in
good faith, and various others things.
The board spent most of the afternoon
yesterday listening to these allegat
ions and continues the hearing today.
The petitions for Fountain and Ed
en counties hang on the fate of the
Jackson county petition. If this pe
tition is granted the other two can
not be considered on account of a con
fliction of proposed lines.
The Live Stock Market
Special market letter from Nye
Schneider Fowler Co. South Omaha,
Nebra., Sept. 23,1908.
Our cattle receipt at the beginning
of this week are about one-halt of
what they were the fore part of last
week. This was generally expected
owing to the heavy receipts and the
big slump of last week which news was
wired to all parts of the country stopp
ing to a large extent parties who con
templating a shipment. Receipts as
usual include only a few corn fed catt
le and the offerings from the rangeB
were pretty well divided between kill
ers and stockers and feeders. The
heavy receipts of stockers and feeders
were picked up very liberally last week
and about 540 cars were shipped to the
country, nevertheless dealers had to
carry over about 4,000 head. Values
are fully 10 higher on desirable killers
and steady to strong on good feeders
and generally steady on all other kinds
of cattle. The outlook seems to be for
a stronger market for the balance of
the week.
We quote:—

C. stockers & feeders 4 25@ 4.75 to 5 40
Fair to good. 3.50(g) 4.00
Stock heifers. 2.50(a) 3.00
There is a very light run of hogs
and the same condition is expected to
continue throughout the week. Pack
ers are very wary of buying any more
than enough to fill present orders at
one time, and while the tendency of
market is strong, anything like liberal
receipts would bring a sharp break.
Bulk of sales $6.75 to $7.00.
The sheep receipts Monday were the
largest in over a year and while there
was a good active demand and plenty
of feeder buyers all kinds are selling
some lower. Feeders are paying much
higher prices proportionately than the
packers.
