Charley Richter pitched one of the
classiest ball games seen In northeast
Nebraska this season. The game was
played between Norfolk and Lynch
with Charley Richter and Bill Wilson
as the battery for the Boyd county
team. The game lasted fourteen inn
ings and was won by Norfolk with a
score of 4 to 3, but at that Richter
had the best of the twirling all the
way through and was won by Norfolk
in the last half of the fourteenth on a
wild throw by the Lynch third base
man, after two men were down. Dur
ing the fourteen innings Richter held
the salaried Norfolk aggregation
down to seven hits, while Lynch se
cured thirteen hits oil of Norfolk’s
twlrler. Tough luck to lose a game
with such twirling as that.

Messenger Boy Had Shoulder Bumped

injuries alleged to have been sustained

railroad company in August, 1908.
The petition alleges that Whiting

and his left shoulder bruised,
crushed and injured; that by
reason of said injuries be had
to go to Omaha and was operated up
on there by the defendant’s surgeon;
that said surgeon cut his shoulder
open in two places and took therefrom
a pound of flesh, tissue and pus that
had accumulated by reason of said ac
cident. A second operation was found
necessary and was performed in about
three weeks; that at the second oper

Burwell Tribund: Just as thi
paper was ready to go to press las
week word came of the accidents
death of Dr. Woods, a veterinariar
residing near Swan. At that time n
_ ....
particulars were at hand as regarded
his death but since we have learned
that with his daughter he was out in
the sand hills sand cherrying and
while climbing into a buggy with a
single barrel shotgun In his hand the
gun was accidently discharged, the
load of shot striking him in the
breast. As a result of the wound he
expired in about thirty minutes.
The remains were brought to Willow
Springs and burled in the cemetery
at that place, services being con
ducted at the grave by Prof. Boomer.
He was an old resident of this part of
the country.
J. A. Naylor of Thompsonville,
Conn., arrived in the city last Fri
day and will make O’Neill his future
home. Mr. Naylor purchased a half
interest in the restaurant of his
brother-in-law, George Weingartner,
taking possession Monday morning.
Mr. Naylor is highly pleased with
O’Neill and the surrounding country
and is showing his faith therein in
the erection of the cement block on
Douglas street, upon which work was
commenced a couple of months ago.
The Frontier welcomes Mr. Naylor to
the ranks of O’Neill business men and
hopes that he will meet that degree
of prosperity that his faith in this
city and country justifies.
Mr. Alfred B. Christian, proprietor
of the Christian Clover Leaf farm,
situated in and near York on which
are two separate herds of Aberdeen
Angus cattle, a breed that is claimed
to be the best money-making breed
of cattle, and three seperate herds of
the big, quick maturing type of Po
land China purfe bred hogs, about ten
ten days ago shipped in three hun
dred yearling Wethers which were
taken to the 400 acre farm southeast
of York, says the Times. Buying
lambs or sheep at this time of year is
somthing new to York county farmers
who have raised hogs and cattle, but
have not considered feeding sheep.
These wethers are strong, healthy,
vigorous and great rustlers and may
make Mr. Christian a profit, but if
they do not pay more than the work
and feed and the original cost Mr.
Christian thinks that they will help
to clean up his corn field of cockle
burrs and other weeds that have be
come a pest. Immediately the wethers
were run in the corn field and the
way they are cleaning the field of
weeds and eating only the lower
leavees of the corn stalks makes Mr.
Christian believe that this is one of
the means York county farmers have
to rid their land of burrs and weeds.
Mr. D. S. Lang informs Mr. Christian
that the wethers eat the leaves off
the cockle burrs, thus destroying
them, preventing going to seed, and
that all the wethers will eat from
now on until severe frosts will be
feed in corn fields that cost nothing.
The wethers do not try to eat ears of
corn. A number of farmers in York
county are interested in the ex
periment made by Mr. Christian and
while too late this year, say they will
buy sheep next summer and do the
same. Iowa and Illinois farmers
have for several years realized the
value of sheep at this time of year to
make growth and meat in the corn
and stubble fields, cleaning the
ground and making a profit on what
the farmer never considered of any
value but a source of annoyance.
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Gallaghei
and daughter came up from Laurel
last Saturday evening being called
here by the serious illness of Mr. Gal
lagher’s mother, who has been in very
poor health the past month.
