He believei that O’Neill is a garden spot nov compared to what it was when he lef here. He had a pleasant time visitlni old-time friends and will receive Th Frontier hereafter to keep posted up on affairs in this section. B A. Powell, one of the pioneer settlers of the Mineola country and an old time Frontier reader, was a caller at these headquarters last Monday and left the necessary coin to extend his subscription another year. Mr. Powell says they have the best corn crop in bis section thisyear that they have ever had. The L. L. Mandeville sale yesterday afternoon was largely attended and everything brought good prices.

Flaherty of Omaha spoke in the interests of the democratic ticket at the court house last Monday eve ning to a small sized audienoe. Mr. Flaherty is a fluent and pleasing speaker but the most of his address seemed to be an apology for the head of the democratic ticket. J. D. Lee, candidate for senator, and T. V. Gold en candidate for representative, also delivered short addresses. John McCaffrey, who has been visit ing relatives and friends in this city the past three weeks, left for his home at Pittsburg, Pa . last Tuesday morn ing. Mr. McCaffrey was a resident of this county many years ago and still owns the homestead upon which he made final proof, which is located northwest of this city. He says old Holt looks better today than ever and he believes that the days of hardships for the people of this county are past and his only regret is that he does not own more of its fertile land. R. H. Murray was up from Page Monday. This season has not been a very good one for the potato crop but Mr. Murray says that he raised 650 bushels off from three acres and that they were raumber one quality. The land that the potatoes were raised on was considered worthless a couple of years ago, beiug very sandy, but was made highly productive by fertilizing. Aslpotatoes are worth 75cents a bush el the crop raised upon these three acres is worth $412.50, more than the quarter section would have sold for some teu years ago, J S. Walker, for many years a res ident of Page but now living in Sioux City, was a pleasant caller at these headquarters last Monday. Mr. Walk er still owns his real estate in this county and today his faith in the fu ture greatness of old Holt is stronger than it ever has been. Although res ident of another state his interests are here and he is more interested in Ne braska than Iowa, and although a democrat believes that the election of Aldrich as governor would be bettei for the Btate than the election of the Omaha mayor to that position.

SULLIVAN CLEANS WEST. Puts Him to Sleep in Fifth Round of the "Scrap." At | Norfolk last Thursday night Jack Sullivan of this oity put Kid West of South Dakota down and oukin the fifth round of a scheduled twenty round bout. A large crowd was present at the rlmrslde, including about 100 from this city. The fol lowing account of the flight is taken from the Norfolk Dally News: ROUND ONI. The men were up with the bell and fell into a clinch. West looked very short for the O’Neill tighter when, after they broke the sparring came. In a rush they wrestled and both tap ped each other under the guards. They clinched and In the break Sulli van put his right hard over the kid’s head. The kid ducked a left to the jaw and missed a hard right swing to the face. They rushed to a clinch; Sullivan put both right and left on the chin and the kid, who was fighting very low, missed another right to the jaw.withiSullivan missing to the head. Sullivan missed another of the same kind and the kid’s uppercut found no mark. They clinched again and as the bell rang they rushed Into another clinch. It was an even round and the crowd was yelling “quit wrestling and fight.” Sullivan seemed to take it easy and the kid looked gritty. HOUND TWO. They rushed to a clinch again as the cell rang, and, finding opening under the guards they were tapping each ULllci llglibij a>i» cvcij ova.iiouic from the short ribs to the head. Sul livan missed a hard right to the face and they clinched again. In the break Sullivan put in a stiff uppercut to the chin and a right to the head. West missed a swing to the head, Sullivan doing the same thing a second later. They clinch again both missing rights and lefts to the face. Sullivan missed auother hard one to the mouth and West punched him hard against the ropes near his own corner, where Sul livan planted a light one on the face. West missed an uppercut to the jaw and so neatly ducked a vicious swing to the head that the crowd yelled to the tune of the gong ending what Ref eree Magner declared an even round. Sullivan did not seem out of sorts, »c,d. looked perfectly cool. West,- oil tfie other hand, was flushed, and although he did not show signs of weakaess, seemed not pleased with himself. NEARLY OUT IN ROUND THREE. There was a hum of conversation and the betting from the O’Neill side was not heard from as the bell brought the prirci pals to a clinch. Both land light ones. Sullivan put his left on the face and missed the same kind to the bead lie came back with a hard right, pushing the kid’s chin in the air. In the clinch both landed some clever blows. They mixed it a second later and Sullivan put his right over the head and chin, his mark seeming to be the injured lip,which some time ago was cut open by Young Denney. 1 He did not, however, succeed in open- J ing it, but drew blood from the other * side, where the kid’s teeth cut flesh. They kept up the mix around the ring ® and Sullivan soon had West in his corner, where he rained a torrent of ? tight and left jabs and uppercuts to * the face. West in the mixup got in a few light ones, but he looked weaken ed and a red color spread over his body as be took his seat at the end of the round, which was decidedly Sullivan’s. ROUND FOUR. The minute rest did not seem to re- 1 fresh the kid who was up with the ‘ bell, however, and showed retaliation. 1 They sparred in a clinch at arms’ ' length which showed his superior 1 reach, Sullivan pummelled the kid’s ‘ head They spar and Sullivan landed I both right and left to the face. They j clinched and in the break Sullivan ducked a territhc swing which the kid .' seemed to have had in reserve. He was back in a jiffy, however, landing ’ right and left jabs to the face. The kid landed a short one on the short ribs in the mix but Sullivan kept 1 pounding away with first a right and then a left swing to the head. He did not seem to hit the kid in the body, the low fighting of the Omaha tighter seeming to prevent this. Sullivan missed another left to tiie face but connected with a hard right to the 1 face which the kid took decently and 1 landed the right on the champion’s 1 bead. Sullivan landed a right to the ' jaw and the bell found them sparring. ! It was a strenuous round for the kid, r full of fast in-fighting. He seemed to ' bring the clinch on himself and al 1 though it handicapped Sullivan it 5 gradually wore the little man down. 5 It was all Sullivan’s round. f bound five, West takes count. 1 West looked weary as he got up from his corner and Sullivan looked J.

Former Deputy Sheriff and Old Time Resident Dies at Columbus. The many Holt county friends of Charles, better known as “Buck” O'Neill, will regret to learn of his <te»ih winch occurred at Columbus, Nebraska last week. Charley was a resident of this city for many years and no man had more friends in Holt county than be had. The following account of his death is taken from the Columbus Telegram: “Cnas. O’Neill, a trother of Mrs. S. J. llyan and Michael O’Neill, of tbis city, died at St. Mary’s hospital last Monday night. Mr. O’Neill was a miner in Colorado, and came to tbis city .in September suffering from a pulmonary trouble known to some people as “mountain fever.” He was accompanied io the city by Thomas Kereus, owner of the now famous “Silver King” mine in Colorado, and rated as one of the millionaire miners of that si ate. For the past ten years the two had been close companions in their prospecting, and the friendship of the old days remained steadfast in the days of affluence for the one ,and comparative poverty for the other. Mr. ON’eill was better known in northern Nebraska than in this city. He was deputy sheriff of Holt county at the time Barrett Scott, a default ing treasurer was lynched by a mob of infuriated citizens. In that office he figured quite prominently in the ef fort to determine members of the mob. He was never married. His surviving , relatives are four sisters end one brother. They are Mrs. J. J. Brady, of Oklahoma City; Mrs. Thos. Durkin, of Arizona; Mrs. M. Conley, Mrs. Ry an and Mr. O'Neill, of this city. The sisters residing at a distance were 5 present at the funeral, which was - held at St. Bonaventura church Wed nesday forenoon.”
