NUMBER 17
WIN TWO FROM OMAHA
Western Leaguers Go Down Before
O'Neill Champions.
TWELVE HITS OFF STAR TWIRLER
Local Boys Keep Up Their Record As
Champions to the Close- of the
Season.
O’Neill 5; Omaha 1.
O'Neill 9; Omaha 5
The above scores tell the story of
the result of the last two games piay
ed by the O’Neill Champions this
season. They were played upon the
local diamond last Saturcsy and Sun
day afternoons before a large crowd
of enthusiastic fans and fannettes.
By their victories last week the
Champiors easily perfected their title
to the championship of the north
half of Nebraska and in fact we be
lieve there was not a team in the
state, outside of the Western League,
that could win two out of three games
from O’Neill Our boys weut up
against the best teams and the best
pitchers in tin state but they all went
down before the hard hitting sluggers
on the O’Neill team. Even Pat Ragan,
tne pride or Omaha and the premier
twirler of the Western League, was
hammered all over the lot last Sun
day and when the game ended and
computations made the score book
disclosed that twelve good clean bits
had been secured off Pat’s delivery,
four of which were for extra bases.
It was hard on Patsy, to come into
the bush and get bumped so hard, but
it was enjoyed by O’Neill.
rue game Friday arternoon was a
splendid exhibition of the national
sport. Although the day was dark
and cold the boys put up a wonderful
game, O’Neill clearly outclassing the
Omaha team. Boy Bradley was on
i he mound for O’Neill and pitched
magnificent ball, holding the Omaha
aggregation to three scattered hits,
two of which were secured by Dr.
Hairy Welsh. He pitched a class of
ball '.hat always wins ball games and
had gilt-edged support, their being
but one error behind him, a wild
throw by Hildebrand to third, which
gave Omaha the only run they made
in the game. It Should have been a
shut, out. In addition to holding them
d >wn to three hits he made eight
shatter the ozone in vain attempts to
connect with the horsehide.
Riley pitched for Omaha and twirl
ed a classy game. He allowed but
five hits during the session. His
support was a little wobbly however,
as his team mates piled up eight er
rors behind him. But the game was
won"by O’Neill in the third inning
and throi gh no fault of Mr. Riley’s
team mates. In the third inning
Hildebrand, first up, was given free
transportation. Alberts was out on
foul bunt. Reiohle connected for a
single, Hilly taking third. Brophy
went out second to first but Reich
was safe on second. Wilson then con
nected for two sacks into right and
Hillv and Reich scored. Bill died on
second, as Kelley was out, pitcher to
first. But the game was won.
In the sixth three errors and hits
Twtrchel and Alberts gave us three
more and the game was cinched.
Only three times after the second in
ning did Omaha get a man to first.
Two of these got hits and Brad hit
another, but they never had a look-in
at the nlate.

Sunday was an ideal day for a game
and about a thousand people went to
the park to witness the contest, which
was expected to be highly interesting
as ltagon and Gonding was to be the
Omaha battery, while Noah and Wil
son were to be in the points for the
Champions.
As the teams were playing for sixty
and forty per cent of the gate receip.s
the Omaha boys determined to annex
the long end of the purse if possible.
After the first up had been disposed
of, third to first, Fitzgerald got a hit
and took second on a passed ball and
third on Welsh’s out to first. Mc
Nally then sent a high one to Prim
which the latter dropped and Fitz
gerald scored P. Kennedy then sent
a high one to Brophy, who also let it
drop and things began to lock dubious
but Gonding flew out to Twitch and
the inning ended with Omaha one
run to the good.
The Champions evened things up
in their hair by pushing an earned
run across the plate. Hilly singled
and was sacrificed to second by Al
berts who went out, pitcher to first.
Reichele then singled and Hilly scored.
Brophy fanned and Wilson went out
at-first.
A double by Primley and a single by
Twitchel gave us another in the sec
ond, and two more came in the third
on a double by Hilly, a single by
Brophy, a fielders choice and an error.
A double by Noah, two bases on balls
and a single by Reichele added two
more in the fourth. In the fifth on
singles by Primley, Twitchel, Noeh
and Reichele, and three errors we
cashed in three more just for good
measure, but that was the end as
Patsy tightened up and did not allow
a hit during the next three innings,
but it was too late as the game was
already lost.
Noah pitched a swell game up to the
sixth inning, having allowed but four
scattered hits up to that time, but he
was inclined to be wild and his wild
ness got him into a hole several times,
but heady work in pinches and good
support kept Omaha from scoring.
In tne sixth he walkedGonding; Riiey
fanned and D. Kennedy went out to
second, Ragan connected for a single
and G. Kennedy met one on the nose
tor a home run drive into left field,
scoring Gonding and Ragan ahead of
him. The next was an easy out,short
to first. They went out in one, two
three order In the seventh and eight.
In the ninth Ragan connected for
t hree sacks and scored on G. Kennedys,
sacrifice fly to center field. The next
was out short to first. Walsh con
nect for three sacks, but expired on
third, when McNally went out, second
to first, and the game was over.

The special trains during the land
rush afford great opportunities for
the “straw vote” man. It is some
thing of an index to political senti
ment also. Coming up the valley the
other day on a Northwestern special
a vote was taken, resulting in 211 for
Taft and 131 for Bryan, besides over
100 scattering for the various other
candidates, and the women not
voting. People on these trains come
from nearly every state east of Ne
braska.
While Uncle Sam is putting up the
land of the Rosebud Indians for sale,
some of the reds have become imbued
with the commercial spirit and have
taken advantage of the rush of the
white’s for their lands. A Sioux
came over from the reservation Mon
day with a lot of Indian trinkets for
sale. He stood around all day Tues
day without making a sale and had
about concluded to go back to the
reservation, but when the crowds
came from tire east in the evening he
did such a flourishing business that
he decided to remain.
The crooks are afraid of O’Neill’s
police force, and the few that dropped
in during the past two weeks didn’t
stay long. A Frontier representative
overheard a part of the conversation
of two of this class of fellows the
other night that indicated their in
tentions not to attempt any “funny
business” around here. The larger
of the two spoke iu I9W tones that
could not be heard, but from the talk
of the other it was evident the larger
was wanting his companion to join
him in a robbery of some kind. They
had withdrawn about a block from the
glare and orowds of the street and
were talking it over. The smaller of
the two demurred to the proposition
of the other. “You go down there
and make one crooked move and see
where you’r at,” he said, with many
unprintable adjectives. “You might
get an overcoat, or somethin’ like,
but what’s the use of gettin’ ‘canned’
for that,” and they moved on.

J. H. Lohmann of Bloomfield, editor
of the Bloomfield Germania, was a
pleasant caller at these headquarters

two others came over from Bloomfield
in an auto, making the trip in five

MINOR MENTION
Ed Reiceie, who has been playing
spectacular field for the O’Neill Cham
pions the past month, left for l)ls
borne at Craig last Tuesday morning
with the best wishes of the O’Neill

season he will again play with Keo
kuk, but his friends here hope to see
him in the western league before the
season closes.
Among the many thousands who
registered here the past week for a
Tripp county farm was Frank Muslin
of Lucy, Tenn. Mr. Mustin was a
caller at this office yesterday morning
and ordered The Frontier sent to his
address as he said he was positive he
was going to draw a farm and he
wanted to see his name in the print
ed list of winners.
Charles McEvony of Swan was In
the city Tuesday and called at this
office, renewing his subscription. Mr.
McEvony says his section of the
county has made rapid strides the
past few years since it began to settle
up under the section homestead law,
and there is now a thriving com
munity in a previously unocoupied
portion of the county.
Senator F. W. Phillips was in the
city Friday on his way home from
Atkinson where he had attended the
Burkett meeting the night before.
He reports the meeting as having
been a large and enthusiastic one and
that the senator’s address was and
able, eloquent and logical argument
for the retention in power of the re
publican party, the party of progress
and achievement.
Frank Hynes arrived in the city
Tuesday afternoon from his home in
Dyersville, Iowa, to register for a
Tripp county farm. It has been eight
een years since Frank left O’Neill and
he remained over yesterday, renewing
old-time friendshiDS. Frank was the
first curve ball artist who ever twirled
a game for O’Neill and several of the
“has been” spent a few pleasant hours
yesterday in an old-time “fanning
bee” telling of victories won on the
diamond in the days that are gone.
Mr. Hynes has changed but little
since he left here and was easily rec
ognized by many old timers.
Stuart Advocate: John W. Howard
and Miss Maud Haskin, two well
known young people of Stuart went to
O’Neill Wednsday and were united in
marriage by Judge Malone, with 0. N.
Bigelow and Miss Ninnle Haskin as
witnesses of the ceremony. Mr. How
and, who bas been a resident of Stuart
for about two years, is a quiet, unas
suming young man who is well liked
here, and Miss Haskin has lived in or
near Stuart since she was a child, and
both have the best wishes of thier
many friends. They will occupy one
of John Skirving’s houses in the east
part of town, as soon rs it can be put
in readiness for their occupancy.
Miss Rose Fallon is receiving the
congratulations of her friends on win
ning a prize of a handsome piano in
a subscription contest just closed by
the Norfolk Daily News. Miss Fallon
had four votes more than the next
highest, but her last bunch of votes
arrived at the News offloe a few hours
after the contest closed, owing to a
delay in the mails. The votes were
mailed at O’Neill in time to reach
Norfolk before the contest closed but
were delayed in the mails owing to
the land opening rush. A young lady
at Plainview was declared the winner
by the contest judges, but on the ar
rival of Miss Fallon’s delayed votes it
was discovered that she was four votes
ahead. The News publishers then
generously decided to give away an
other piano, which goes to Miss
Fallon. _
The lectures last Sunday by Miss
Belle Kearney were not as well at
tended as the standing and oratorical
abilities of the speaker deserved. In
the evening the court-house was com
fortably filled. Rev. Hullhorst pre
sided, offering prayer and introducing
the speaker. Miss Kearney spoke
on the subject of temperance and
prohibition from moral and religious
standpoints, and expressed the con
viction that the day was not far
distant when a national prohibitory
law would be enacted. She pointed
out the difficulty of enforcing prohibi
tion in separate states because con
gress has the power to annul in a
large measure the effects of state laws
through the operations of inter-state
commerce. She made a strong and
eloquent plea not only for her bearers
to follow the ways of sobriety but to
engage in what a termed the war
fare for the extermination of the
liquor traffic. Miss Kearney is a
southern lady and displays on the
platform the dash and fire character
istic of that people. She paid hei
compliments to one Nebraska town,
Omaha, by saying it was the worst
place of its size on earth.
WEDNESDAY 6 PI, 37,945
Second Week of Registration Brings
Increased Crowds.
MONDAYS HIGH RECORD 6,970
Commissions of Two Notarties Revok
ed.-- Methods of Banks Protested,
and Officials Intervene.
The total number of applications
for registration in the Rosebud land
drawing at this point at 8 o’clock
Wednesday evening was 37,945. The
daily average has been over 1,000
higher thus far this week than last.
Wednesday’s applications run up to
4,337. Monday the highest point was
reached, there being 8,970 affidav
its taken from midnight Sunday to
6 o’clock Monday evening.
The fee for making out affidavits is
25 cents each. The total amount of
fees taken in by the notaries up to
la9t evening is $9,486.25. About 40
per cent of this went to the three
banks, one of which has five notaries
and each of the others two-notaries.
S. J. Weekes, cashier of the O’Nelli
National bank, had made the higest
number of affidavits up to last night,
his total for the eleven days being
2,214. H. P. Dowling of the same
bank was the next highest, with
Clarence Campbell of the First Nat
ional bank third.
Tne rivalry ror tneamaavit business
has been very keen. A protest against
the advertising methods employed by
the banks was filed with the land
office officials yesterday by a local land
attorney, who Is also an oath officer
Samples of advertising matter used by
the banks are submitted with the
protest. Two of the banks have cir
culated cards advertising the bank as
an oath officer. This is a violation of
the rules, as only individuals and not
corporations are commissioned as oath
officers. The protest also says that
some of the bank representatives
have violated the rules in soljteiliiitf
patronage on the streets and at the
trains by telling people that the ptfrer
notaries were incompetent to make
out affidavits correctly. Register
Parker called up Judge Witten at
Dallas by telephone* and asked witting
action the land officials here should
take. Judge Witten said to revoke,
the commissions of those complained
of if the Irregular methods were not
stopped at once.
The anxiety of two notaries for
the clinking quarters lost their com
missions for them Monday. The com
missions were revoked because tbev
did business Sunday. The rules pro
vide that an oath officer may execute
affidavits at any time day or night ex
cept Sunday. *
Most of the affidavit places are open
day and night, the bulk of the busi
ness being done at night. Five train
loads came in last night, the most of
them registering and getting out-of
town before morning.
Jack McAllister of Atkinson has a |
few samples of agricultural products
grown in this county on exhibition at
the Gillespie-Ohapman affidavit office
that is cathing the eye of thousands
of strangers and making them sit up
and take untioe. Some effort has
been made by others to set before the
thousands of strangers coming here
the great product!veness of our soli
and the bargains offered here ip real
estate.
The registration closes Saturday
morning here, affidavits taken up to
10 to be delivered to a special messen
ger who will take them to Dallas. It
is estimated that nearly 50,000 will
have registered here by that time.
