Bruce of Omaha arrived in the city Wednesday after noon with a blue print of the pro posed sewer system and met with the city council and several citizens that evening and thoroughly explained the system. The plan submitted by Mr. Bruce was added to by the council in order to more thoroughly cover the city and the plans as amended was ac cepted by the council. Mr. Bruce re turned to Omaha this morning and (will have the alterations made in the *plans as suggested and expect to have them here next Monday. It will then be necessary to call a special election to vote bonds for the erection of the system. The estimated cost of the sewerage system complete is $16,000. As accepted the proposed system covers the following streets: From Brennan’s Park on First street along Adams street to T. V. Golden’s residence. On Benton street from M. J. En right’s residence, corner First and Benton, to John Carton’s residence between Eighth and Ninth. On Clay street from the old Mehlig property to the Methodist church corner on Sixth. On Douglas street from the Doyle corner to Tenth street, across from the Mann residence. On Everett street from P. D. Mul len’s residence to the Tierney corner on Seventh street. On Fremont street from J. C. Harn ish’s residence to Seventh street. On Grant street from Seventh to Ninth. On First street, commencing half way between Clay and Douglas, south to Grant street. All the. sewerage on the west side of Fourth street, starting at Adams, flows into a trunk line extending from Adams down Second street to Douglas, east on Douglas to Fourth where it is joined by the sewerage from the east trunk line which extends from Adams down Sixth to Clay, west on Olay to Fourth and south on Fourth to Douglas, where the two systems are joined into one extending souuh on Fourth street to Fremont, east on Fremont to Seventh, and south on seventh 858 feet and empties into the tail race south of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad tracks. An idea of the magnitude of the system can be gained from the fact that it will take 27214 feet of eight inch pipe, a little over five miles of pipe; 2604 feet of ten inch pipe, about one half mile; 3160 feet of twelve inch pipe, 31 man holes and seven flush tanks.

Noah Gwinn of Laurel arrived in the city Monday evening for a visit with old-time friends. For many years Noah was a resident of O’Neill, being engaged in the jewelry business in the building now occupied by Keys’ feed store, but he left here in 1891 and since that time has|lived at Laurel.

The case of the U. S. vs. Floyd l^tc Grew, deceased, and Joseph McGrew, heir of Fred McGrew Involving 480 acres of Garfield county land is oc' cupying the attention of the officials of the United States land office this week. The government protested against the proof of McGrew, alleging that he had not complied with the law. E. Quinn of Ogden, Utah, is representing the government and C. I. Bragg of Burwell the defendant. About fifteen witnessses from Gar field county are present to testify in the case. Roy O. Chase of Page and Miss Mabel Poe of this city were united in marriage at the home of the brides parents in this city last evening, Rev. T. S. Watson officiating, in the pres ence of a few relatives of the contract ing parties. The groom is assistant cashier of the Page State bank and is a young man of exemplary habits and has a host of friends wherever known. The bride is one of O’Neill’s fairest young ladies, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Poe, who has a host of friends in O’Neill who will join The Frontier in wishiug her and her husband many years of happiness and prosperity. Mr. and Mrs. Chase left on the 4 o’clock Northwestern for a short honeymoon trip after which they settle down to housekeeping at Page. People of O’Neill were shooked and1, grieved last Saturday to learn that Mrs. Dr. Wilson had died the evening before in the hospital at Omaha, where she was taken for treatment by Dr. Wilson a week ago. Dr. Gilligan re ceived a letter from one of the attend ing physicians saying that an autopsy was performed to ascertain the cause of death and it was found that death resulted from a softening at the base of the brain, and that it was probably caused by a fall. The letter stated that at no time during her illness could medical assistance have proved of any benefit to her. She was unconscious for two days previous to her death. The remains were taken to Owosso, Mich., the former home of Dr. and Mrs. Wilson for interment. Citizens of O’Neill extend sympathy to the bereaved husband and son. The case of George Miles vs. the County of Holt was reversed and re manded by the Supreme Court. This | is the case in which Miles sued the county to collect something over $4,000 for publishing the scavenger tax list in 1905. This notice was given The Frontier by the county board but, acting upon the advice of A. F. Mullen, D. J. Cronin, then county treasurer, gave the notice to the Independent. The county board refused to pay the claim of Miles for publishing the notice and he brought suit in the district court recovering judgment for the amonnt sued for, about $4,500. The county took the case to the supreme court and this judgement ha3 been reversed and the case remanded. While we have not seen the opinion a synopsis of it published in the State Journal says that the court decided that Miles was entitled to only the actual expense of setting the notice, and no profits. Next week we will give the opinion in full. Special Sale " 'OKU Next Saturday, March 19, we are going to have a special sale on Swift's Premium 10-pound Hams.
