Well Attended.
The memorial day services at the
opera-house Monday afternoon were
well attended despite the rainy day.
An interesting program was carried
out, fitting and appropriate to the
day. The stage was decorated with
the stars and stripes and flowers. A
row of flower girls dressed in white
encircled the stage on three sides and
the old soldiers occupied seats across
the stage. M. Slattery, Samuel
lfeavers, Jake Ernst, E. H. Thomp
son, John Skirving, W. E. McRobert,
Benjamin Sanders and Barney Jones,
all wearing the badge of the Grand
i Army, were tire old soldiers present.
Mr. Slattery acted as chairman and
announced the program, the first
number of which was a song by a
choir composed of Messers. John Sul
livan, Jesse Mills, C. B. Scott and
Dr. E. T. Wilson, and Mesdames
Spencer and Stout and the Misses
Rose Fallon and Martha Younkin,
Loretto Sullivan playing the piano.
Sanford Dodge, who was in the
city for a theatrical engagement,
recited a selection from James Whit
comb Riley and one from Kipling.
The choir rendered another song,
and Miss Dot Wolverton read “The
Blue and the Gray.”
A. F. Mullen then spoke for a half
hour, paying tribute to the dead and
and homage to the living soldiers.
He spoke of the blessings we enjoy as
the result of the triumph of the arms
of the north in the great civil war
and also of the responsibilities resting
upon us today as citizens, admonish
ing his hearers to take an interest in
the affairs of the state and nation.
In conclusion the choir sang
“America” in which the audience
also joined. Conveyances were
furnished for the soldiers and flower
girls who in a drenching rain, went
to the cemetery and placed their
lloral tributes upon the graves.

Keeshan was called home. Her
youngest daughter married a few
years later, she went to live with her.
She died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. E. Perrigo, seven miles north of
Q’Neill, Friday, May 21, 1909. She
had been sick for about two weeks
and had had a slight stroke of
paralysis, causing her to fall, impact
ing her hip joint. She leaves seven
children to mourn her loss: Wm.

WIN TWO GAMES
High School Boys Return From a
Successful Trip.
Using the words of the “Duck,”
otherwise, William Francis McNich
ols, “we brought home the bacon.”
Last Saturday at Ainsworth the
local high school boys added another
pelt to their belt, and in doing so won
a signal victory over one of the best
all-home ball teams in the state.
Ainsworth has long enjoyed a repu
tation on the diamond to be proud of,
and when the school boys lefk for the
scene of the conflict every fan in
O’Neill had it guessed that they would
not have a look in. Let it be known
at the beginning of this joyful story
that Hugli Clement Coyne, named
after an uncle, is some pitcher. Four
teen of Ainsworth’s gladiators fell
victims to his deceptive curves. They
garnered off his delivery during the
nine burning sessions, but seven safe
swats, three of which came in the
first inning before Hugh Clement had
got up a perspiration.
Ainsworth had their king bee hip
podrome hurdler, and hoop jumper, in
the person of Clyde Cuteness De Silva
on the firing line.
Ainsworth’s two scores came in the
first inning, on a single by Wilson and
doubles by Robertson and Clyde, but
after this session there was nothing
doing.
U'JNein started tneir scoring in tne
second-inning when Coyne led oil with
a three ply jolt, which caused the
hippodrome artist to turn a ilip-liop.
Coyne scored on a sacrifice by Booze.
In the third Kane or Curdle singled
and took second on Bill Biglin’s jolt to
right field. A neat double steal by
Kane and Biglin made Clyde turn
four more flip-flops. Kane registered
when Campbell laid down a perfect
bunt, and Bill scored when Jermiah
Eugene Cress, the boy pedagogue
from the wilds of Coleclesser, shoved
one to center for a bag. This was all
the scoring, but it was enough. In
the ninth Baldwin, a nice young
gentleman as all Ainsworth’s Dlayers
are, up to bat for Grimes, a Valentine
recruit went out a pitcher to first.
The only error checked against
O’Neill was a bad bounder to first
which out guessed Bill. We remarked
at the beginning, and say as much
once again, that Hugh Clement Coyne
is some pitcher. The score:

off Coyne 1; stolen bases, Kana, W.
Biglin, Cress (2). Umpire, Horiskey.
The boys played two games at
Valentine Sunday and both were
close and exciting. Ryan opened the
first for O’Neill, and we will inform
the universe to keep their best eye on
this boy for he has lots of stuff.
Coyne pitched the second game
which went to Valentine, and out
side of a bad start did great work.
In the first inning, hits coupled with
two infield errors gave Valentine |3
scores and the game. The day was
cold and the wind blew a gale from
the northwest. A home run wallop
in the first game by McNichols and a
running one hand scoop which he
shot to third for an out were the
features. Both were seven inning
contests by agreement. The score:

District Court in Session.
The regular spring term of the
district court convened in the city
last Tuesday with Judge Westover on
the bench and J. D. Scott reporter.
T, J. Coyne and Stephen McGinnis
were selected as bailiffs.
On Tuesday the docket was called
and the case of Frank Hoffman,
administrator of the estate of George
V. Glover, vs. the Chicago and North
western railrohd, was set down for
trial Wednesday and is now occupying
the attention of the court. This case
came from Dawes county and is a
suit for damages for the death of
Glover, who died at Chadron on
November 12,1907, his death alleged
to have been caused by injuries sus
tained on the defendants company’s
road. They ask for $30,000 damages.
Glover was a brakeman working for
the company and about 2 o’clock on
the morning of November 11, 1907, so
the plaintiffs allege, started for his
home from the railroads in Chadron
and was struck by a train while cross
ing a railroad track, sustaining in
juries from which he died the next
day. The plaintiff alleges negligence
on the part of the railroad company
because it “failed to give notice or
warning to said George V. Glover of
the approach of said car, at said time,
in the dark, without a light and
without a brakeman thereon, and
without giving notices or warning of
its approach, was a reckless, careless
and negilent act ”
Glover left a widow and three minor
children and the suit is brought in
their behalf by the administrator.
Five witnesses are here from Chadron
for the plaintiff and a half dozen or
more for the defendant.
The graduation exercises for the
class of 1909 were held at the opera
house last Thursday night and were
attended by a crowded house. The
class this year was the largest ever
graduated from the O’Neill public
schools, containing fifteen members,
nine boys and six young ladies. In
the membership of the class it was
different from its predecessors, and
the general rule, as nearly always the
boys are in the minority in high
school graduating classes while in
this class the young ladies were in
the-froinority. Following, is -the
names of those who finished their
high school work on May 27, 1909:
Edna H. Barnard, Ina M. Bain, Neil
P. Brennan, Ida B. Craig, Ed. P.
Campbell, Clara Grimes, Erwin Galla
gher, Edward Mann Gallagher,
Thomas Y. Golden, Lawerence G.
Hunt, Ruth J. Meredith, Pearl E
Roberts, Ernest P. Simmons, Fred J.
Voedisch, and John C. Gallagher.
I
Joseph Frost of Lamro, S. D., anil
John Flannlgan of Stuart have com
menced an action in the district court
of Ilolt county to collect damages to
the extent of $8,000 from the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad company,
said damages alleged to have been
sustained by the plaintiiTs on a
shipment of cattle on defendant’s road
in May 1907. In May of the above
named year the plaintiffs purchased a
train load of cattle in Texas, which,
they allege in their petition, was
shipped from Texas to Valentine to
be placed upon their rancii in Tripp
county, S. D. At Crawford the cattle
were turned over to the defendant
railroad for transportation to Valen
tine, and near Gordon, while on said
trip, one of the cars in said train,
which was a special composed of
twenty cars left the rails and bumped
along on the ties for about three
miles. PlaintiiTs allege that the
hamplnsJjoiured many of the cattle
on said train and caused them to
greatly depreciate in flesh for
which they ask damages in tire sum
of $8,000, with interest from May 28,
1907, and costs of suit.
Walt Mason: When I cash in, and
this poor race is run, my chores per
formed, and all my errands done, I
| know that folks who mock my efforts
here, will weeping bend above my
lowly bier, and bring large garlands,
worth three bucks a throw, and paw
the ground in ecstasy of woe. And
friends will wear crape bowknots on
their tiles, while I look down (or up)
a million miles, and wonder why
those people never knew how smooth
I was until my spirit flew. When I
cash in I will not care a yen tor all
the praise that’s heaped upon me
then; serene and silent, in my hand
some box, I shall not heed the lauda
tory talks, and all the pomp and all
the vain display, will just be pomp
and feathers thrown away. So tell
me now, while I am on the earth,
your estimate of my surprising worth;
O tell me what a looloo-blrd I am, and
till me full of taffy and of jam!
Those who wish to accomodate
roomers and boarders during the
institute and summer school should
notify us at once. We are receiving
letters daily, asking for information
in regard to rooms and board, which
we are unable to answer satisfactorily
because of not having a sufficient
number of places on our list.
