1 would-be professionals recognize the
1 fact that they had a ball game. Nor
• folk won the first game by a score of
1 5 to 2 on rank errors on the part ol
the O’Neill team. The hits were
i even, eight each, but while O’Neill
: suceeded in piling up six errors Nor
- folk got throuh the game with out
i any, which tells the reason they won.
, Coyne and Alberts were the battery
■ for O’Neill while Kissel and Spell
' man officiated for Norfolk. The game
■ Friday was a little better game that
that of the day before, but Norfoll
- managed to get away with the long
end of a 2 to 4 score. J ack Foremat
and Ed Alberts were in the points
for O’Neill and Jack had the Norfolk
sluggers helpless until the eighth inn
ing when they got two hits, which
with a base on balls and a couple of
errors netted Norfolk 4 runs and the
game. Foreman allowed only 5 hits
during the session and fanued 11 of
the Norfolk sluggers. O’Neill secured
6 hits off Ward, Norfolk’s pet slab
artist, and he suceeded in fanning

According to the daily press the
location of the new Normal school,
authorized by the last legislature will

tion, the old board or the one author
ized by the last session of the legisla
ture, and appointed by the governor,
is the legal board of education of the
state. A suit testing the constitu
tionality of the law creating the Nor
mal Eoard of Education is now before
tne supreme court and a decision is
looked for during the next six weeks.
Sheriff Hall encountered an enraged
and inebriated man in the North
western railroad yards Tuesday night
as be was coming up town. The fel
low was flourishing a gun and threat
ening to shoot. He said he had been
robbed, or that is what the sherlfl
made out of his incoherent talk. Mr.
Hall induced him to put away his
revolver and endeavored to get some
thing of an intelligent story of whj
the man was in a belligerent mood.
He claimed to be from Iowa and sput
tered something about being robbed
up town. The sheriff concluded it
was not necessary to loek him up, but
took him to the Northwestern statior
where he was wanting to get a trair
out of town.

A strung sentiment is gaining head
way among substantial property
owners that it is time for O’Neill to
put in electric lights and a sewer
system. It would be necessary to
issue bonds for the purpose and this
would call for a special election. It
is believed bonds for these purposes
would carry and that the little differ
ence in the yearly tax each individual
would have to pay would not be
noticed. Both sewerage and lights
are badly needed and it is probable
sentiment will gain sufficient head
way to call for a vote on the propo
sition.
Michael Lyons, who has been recog
nized for many years as the hustling
real estate dealer of Emmet, was an
O’Neill visitor Monday. Mr. Lyons
returned last week from Glen Gard
ner, N. J., where he and Mrs. Lyons
spent the summer visiting relatives
and friends and thoroughly enjoying
themselves on the Atlantic coast. Mr.
Lyons says he has been so busy since his
return that he has been unable to get
out through the country to look at
crop conditions but say that from
what he can learn they are simply
"out of sight.” He says that many
eastern people are figuring on coming
to Nebraska this fall to purchase
farms and he figures on doing quite
& real estate business before snow
files.
My family have moved from O’Neill
and I want to close out all my inter
ests here. I have vacant lots in all
parts of the city suitable for residence
or business. In order to close out
soon I will make a sacrifice price.
My residence property lies north of
the convent, in the eastern part of
the city, on Douglas street, and in
the west part of town in Mathews’
addition. Now is an excellent time
to buy any of these properties. I also
have my residence property here,
which is a splendid house, quarter of
a block of land, house modern in every
respect, Including bath, toilet, fur
nace and first class lighting plant.
I will sell this property cheap now for
cash, or will trade It for land at its
real worth.—T. V. Golden 12-3

last Thursday written by a man
claiming to be tbe second cousin of
Mr. Dozbaba. He was real wealthy
but had been imprisoned lor getting
his money unlawfully and that his en
tire fortune wes deposited in a bank
at London, England. His daughter, a
girl of sixteen, had a check made out

secreted in an old trunk. Now the
girl is all alone since her father has
been put in prison and for fear that
the authorities find her the father
desires that Mr. Dozbaba allow her to
be sent to Verdigre and that for her
to be cared for by him and he can
have for his trouble one fourth of the
immense treasure which would
amount to about fifty thousand dol
lars. Mr. Dozbaba answered the
