The Proposed Sewer.
Engineer John A. 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.

the city Monday evening for a visit
with old-time friends. For many
years Noah was a resident of O’Neill,

in the building now occupied by

Laurel. Mr. Gwln says the old town
looks good to him and he is enjoying

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

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.
