Walter Martin Dies in Hospital.
Walter Martin died Wednesday in
an Omaha hospital, after a long per
iod of suffering from tuberculosis of
the spine. The remains were brought
to O’Neill Thursday and the funeral
will take place Friday at two o’clock
at the Methodist church. The funer
al will be in charge of the Odd Fel
lows. Rev. T. S. Watson will conduct
the services at the church.
fhe death of Wa'ter culminates a
long period of suffering and a heroic
struggle against disease. It was only
because Walter was a young man of
unusual vitality that the fatal result
did not come sooner. He was gifted
with magnificent physical strength
and a will and courage to hold up un
der the ravages of the disease during
many months of suffering.
Walter was twenty-three years of
age, bright and energetic, and his
taking away is a severe blow to his
relatives and deeply regretted by all
his friends. He came from one of the
best known families in the county,
being a son of the late Bennet Martin
His mother and two sisters reside in
O’Neill, and besides these he leaves
to morn the remorseless work of death
three brothers and one married sister

out to the Murray home after the ser

the open handed hospitality of oui
friend “Dick.” Two O'Neill music

been at Page, were secured to furnish
music at the wedding festival last
evening.

The county officials, including the
supervisors, were favorites this year
with the Valentine jokers. Some
choice selections of comic art and Val

dignitaries of the county Tuesday, but
none of them have been seen out with
a gun yet trying to And out “who sent

The children of the Presbyterian
Sunday school were entertained at a
Valentine party in the Odd Fellows’
hall Monday evening. The party was
under the supervision of Superintend
ent C. B Scott and Assistant Super
intendent Mrs W. T. Evans, who
furnished the children a delightful
evening’s entertainment.
Tyler Scriven, who had a sale a year
ago and left Holt county and has since
relocated in this county six miles
southeast of Chambers, was in the
city Wednesday. Mr. Scriven has
again become the owner of the dwell
ing house in the southwest part of
town he previously owned for a short
time and then traded for property at
York. He had more faith in the
value of O’Neill property than at
York, and having a chance to trade
back did so.
Mayor Biglin has had anotherofflcial
position thrust upon him. The mayor
is now acting as police judge of the
city and those arrested for offending
the peace and dignity of the city have
now to appear both before the judicial
and exeentive head of the town. J.
•f. McCafferty has resigned as police
judge. The mayor appointed Weigh
master Gordan to the office but Mr.
Gordan declined the appointment
The office is thus left vacant, and in
this event the mayor acts in cases
under the jurisdiction of the police
court.
The county board convened Monday
and adjourned Wednesday until March
7. During the session the board pass
ed a resolution to let the piinting of
the delinquent tax list this year to
the paper making the lowest bid for
the same, and the clerk was instruct
ed to advertise for bids It has been
customary in the past for the board to
designate the paper in which to pub
lish the tax list. The plan of advertis
ing for bids leaves an open field for all
papers in the county to bid for the
work, but it is doubtful if the publish
ers will care to take it for much if any
below the rate allowed by law for pub
lishing such notices.
Miss Edna Howe resigned last week
as assistant postmistress, which posi
tion she had filled for nearly four
years. Miss Edna has made a capable,
efficient and accomodating official
and the office patrons regret her re
tirement from the service as she had
been a general favorite with all. The
Frontier does not know what her
plans are for the furture, but know
she is capable of tilling most any posi
tion of responsibility. Miss Maud
Hall, who has been at Leaveuworth,
Wash , the past year, becomes the
new assistant, arriving 'rom Washing
ington last evening to assume the
duties. Miss Hall has had previous
experience in postoffice work that will
enable her to take hold of the work
without having first to become “initi
ated” and will no doubt make an
efficient assistant.
Lwing Advocate: An article In
last week’s Indtpendent in reference
to House Roll 247 was all right except
in one particular. The article In ques
tion left the reader under the impres
sion that Senator Lee was the author
of the bill when in reality such is not
the case. Through a trustworthy
source we learn that Representative
Cronin himself framed the measure,
and at Mr. Lee’s request Mr. Cronin
furnished him with a duplicate copy
which he afterwards introduced.in the
senate. This is the sum and substance.
We have no desire whatever to rob
Mr. Lee of his laurels and believe that
he himself ftould deny any and all lm
putattons of an erroneous character.
Besides, it injures no one to give prop
er credit where it rightfully belongs.
As the bill is a popular one Mir. Cron
in will doubtless do all in his power to
get it passed in the house, while Sen
ator Lee will at the same time spare
no efforts to have it pass the senate.

The events of the drama are sup
posed to have taken place toward the
end of the fourth century. Irma, al
ias Flavia, daughter of Flavania a
noble Roman matron, was stolen away
when but two years of age, by Solima,
one of the slaves who through ven
geance wished to make her mistress
unhappy. The crime was faciliated
by the fact that Solima had made
previous negotiations with the
captain of the ship about the sail for
Grin. Hither she conducted Flavia
Not knowing how to rid herself of the
cnlld she paid much gold to Bernice,
the Grand Druidressof Nerf Naom,
that might do away with the child
Bernice promised, but Demo,the Arch
Druid, ordered that the life of the in
fant should he spared. She was rear
ed In the temple to be a vestal of Nief
Naom, the goddess of the moon of wis
ddteund of virtue. The dtaina opens
on the day preceding her Initiation to
the inner shrine of the temple, which
was the last step to be taken prepara
tory to becoming a vestal. We find
Flavia, whom the vestais call Irma,
unhappy in the service of the heathen
duties. She seeks something nobler,
purer. Whilst keeping her midnight
vigil, the sacred fire is extinguished,
and according to the laws of the tem
ple, Irma must be sold into slavery.
Sbe is taken into Rome, where she
beoomes a slave in the mansion of
Flavonia, her mother Flavonia feels
irresistably drawn towards Irma.
Finally Solima, who has in the mean
time become a Christian, comes to
seek pardon of Flavonia, and finds Ir
ma. Then mother and daughter are
happily united.

Lewis Clyde Gets Into Trouble for
Alleged Illegal Liquor Selling.
DATES AND NAMES GIVEN
Taken Before the County Judge Who
Holds Him to District Court for
Trial on *500 Bonds.
The county court is frequently call
ed upon to examine some chap for the
crime of selling liquor without the
law's consent, otherwise known as
“bootlegging”. Such a case!was before
Judge Malone last Friday and the ac
jused was held to the district cofirt on
*500 bonds for trial.
The defendant In this instance is
Lewis Clyde and the scene of his al
leged Illegal operations in the liquor
traffic is Page. Complaint was en
tered In behalf of the state of Ne
braska by Cora E. Murphy and a bond
furnished for the costs If the prose
cution falls. The complaint contains
three counts, all charging the unlaw
ful sale of liquor, each count naming
a different date on which beer was
*old to three different meu or boys
named in the complaint.
When brought into county court the
accused waived his right to a prelim
inary hearing and was at once bound
ever to the district court. It Is claim
ed by Page people that the “boot-leg
ging” had become brazen and that
mere boys were supplied with the
Irlnks that makes drunks, and they
are in dead earnest about the prosecu
tion. Page has always been a “dry”
lection of the county and they are
'.ealous of their reputation as such. It
is not the first time the community
las been aroused over the attempts of
faring individuals to Invade the sanc
ity of their village with the whiskey
lug. Others have tried It but were
icon following the sheriff toward
D’Nelll to answer before the bar of
lustice.
When Clyde will have his trial Is
not known District court adjourned
last month till April and this case
will probably not be heard until then.
