U Diamond Dust ®^j i The O’Neill Champion base ball team, accompanied by Mana ger Sanford Parker, Arthur Ryan, James F. O'Donnell and D H Cronin went to Albion last Wednes day morning where on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday they were billed to play t lie Hooper team for $100 a game and the North Platte Champion ship. The Hooper team, while good fast ball players, were not in the same class with O’Neill and they were de feated easily three straight games. Prior to meeting the O’Neill team Hooper had played twenty-seven games this season, losing only three. They defeated everything east of Nor folk, including three fast Omaha teams and their defeat by O’Neill makes our team undisputed champ ions of Nebraska north of the Platte river. It is the opinion of the Hooper players that O’Neill can clean up any thing in the state. Hooper was clear ly outclassed and after the first game were sports enough to acknowledge it, and said if they won one of the games it would be an accident as the O’Neill team was the hardest bunch of stick ers it had been their misfortune to gc against this season. In the three games O’Neill made 43 hits and 33 runs, while Hooper secured 14 runs and 24 hits, so that the champions re ceived nearly twice as many hits and more than twice as many runs as Hooper The game Wednesday started out nicely for the champions. Hugh Boyl •, first up, sent a daisy to center, but was out at second when Wilson sent one to short. Hildebrand was out, pitcher ito first, Wilson taking second. Brophy sent one into right field for three sacks and Wilson trot ted home. Brophy cashed in on third however as Primley fanned. An error by first and a three sacker by Bradley gave us another score in the fourth, after two were down. Things looked rather gloomy for us in the fourth inning when Hooper filled the bases with none down, but still were unable to score. It happened this way: Basler, first up got a hit. Westerhoff sent a fly to right field which Biglin dropped and both were safe. Bradley then hit Zellers filling the bases. Hecker then sent up an in field play and was out and Basler start ed home from third. Kelley fielded the ball and shot it to Wilson who caught Basler (10) feet from the plate. Jensen was out Boyle to Primley and the danger was over. An error and a three sacker by Harris gave them one in the fifth, and a base on balls,two hits, a hit batsman and a fielders choice gave them two in the sixth. In our half of the sixth ttie boys jumped on Hooper’s Omaha twirler and cinched the game securing six hits which resulted in five runs. Two si ogles an error and a three sack er by Kelley gave us three more in the seventh and Hooper annexed two more in their half on two hits, a hit bats man and a fielder’s choice. A single Reichele and a three sacker by Brophy gave us another in the eighth, just for good measure and the game ended 11 to 5 in favor of the Champions. Tiie feature of this game was the slugging of Brophy and Kelley and the fielding of Reichele. Rich made two of the prettiest catches of the season and was liberally applauded for his nice work.

The game Thursday afternoon was not as interesting as tiiat of the day before as O’Neill took such a lead in the first four innings that the game was cinched Hooper was entitled to but two scores in this game, errors in the fourt h and sixth innings being re sponsible for t lie other scores. T. Cross of Omaha, a young man who has won considerable renown upon the dia mond in Omaha and other eastern Nebraska cities was on the mound for Hooper and was touched up for tin singles and three doubles, ten of which come in the first four innnings. He has pitched against some of the fast est teams in southeastern Nebraska this year and says O’Neill has the hardest bunch of sluggers he has faced this season. There were over 13,000 people on the fair grounds to witness this game and were crowded so close to the lines that ground rules were necessary. Reich ele’s two base hit would have been a horaer witli a clear field.

The game Friday afternoon would have* been a creditable game if the fifth Inning, in which O’Neill piled up seven scores, could be eliminated. These runs were secured on five hits, an error and hit batsman. Our boys gave a good exhibition running that brought cheers from the crowd. Hooper was not entitled to a score in this game and the fact that they did is due to the liberality of the umpire and the good heartedness of Brophy who allowed his errors to creep in at a time which allowed them to score, The feature of this game was the fielding and batting of Reichele and the batting of Boyle. In the firstinn ing Reichele fielded two hits in right field and shot them to first for outs. He pulled oil this stunt three times during the games and was heartily ap plauded by the crowd. He was also there witli the stick getting a single, a double and a triple in five times up. Hugh Boyle was also there with the big stick getting a three sacker in the sixth and another ir. the eight inning. He could have made a home out of the drive in the sixth but the boys had him on third, from where he scored on Reichele’s three sacker. The boys ail swelled ttieir batting average at the expense of the Hooper twirler’s.

To the Honorable Board of Supervi sors of Holt County, Nebraska: Your petitioner, Conrad Harley, re spectfully shows that he is the owner of the northwest quarter of section nineteen (19), in township twenty-six (26), north, of range twelve (12) we»t of the sixth P. M„ in Holt county, Nebraska. That on November 12, 1891, said land was sold for the 1890 taxes to T. A. Thompson and on May 2, 1892, said T. A. Thompson paid the subse quent taxes for the year 1891 and on July 17, 1893, said T. A. Thompson paid the subsequent taxes for the year 1892. Some time after said T. A. Thompson had paid the 1892 subse quent taxes, a full settlement was made with the said T. A. Thompson for his tax lien, including full payment for the subsequent taxes for the year 1892. After full settlement and pay ment had been made to the said T. A. Thompson for the taxes for the above named years, the county treasurer erased the payment of the 1892 sub sequent taxes and this erasure on the part of the county treasurer was ille gal and should not have been made after payment and settlement had been made on said taxes. Your petitioner further shows that the taxes for each and every year fol lowing the year 1892 have been paid in full. Your petitioner further shows that on account of the said erasure so made by the county treasurer on the 1892 tax book the above described land was entered as delinquent taxes for the year 1892 on what is called the scav enger tax sale book for said taxes for said year 1892, and was sold at scav enger tax sale on November 8, 1905, for the taxes for said year and on ac count of the facts above stated said scavenger tax sale is erroneous, illegal and void. Therefore your petitioner prays that vour honorable board Instruct the coun ty treasurer to redeem said land from said erroneous tax sale for the year 1892, at the expense of the county of Holt Conrad Harley. By A. J. Hammond, Agent. On motion the prayer of the petition of Conrad Harley was granted and re fund granted the county treasurer for redemption of the same.
