Nat Bradstreet was re-elected sher
iff of Boyd oounty last week by about

In an article in the last issue of the
Twentieth Century Farmer on “Alfal
fa the Basis of the Valuation of Land”
G. W. Hervey, the associate editor
thereof,has the following to say about
Alfalfa in the counties of Boyd and
Holt: “A very remarkable demonstra
tion of alfalfa success is found in the
hill country of the Niobrara river in
the-counties of Holt and Boyd, in Ne
braska, where the hill lands, both
north and south of the river, near the
town of Lynch, has a large acreage de
voted to alfalfa. The beginning of
this enterprise dates back only seven
years, when a few acres were sown and
successful results obtained. Follow
ing this the acreage increased each
year until alfalfa may be seen in all
directions as one nears the bluffy
country bordering the Niobrara, be
tween these two counties, Holt and
Boyd.”
Only five weeks until Chtristnrts.
Now is the time to figure on your
Christmas shopping.

The first of the week Joe Mann en
tered into a contract with the firm 'of
Morris, Mann & Reilly of Chicago and
will enter their employ January 1st
The Frontier has all along hoped that
Joe would decide to remain In O’Neill,
and as he has a hankering love for the
oldtown he was seriously contemplat
ing remaining and engaging in some
other line of business when the store
was disposed of, but he says that the
offerhe received from the Chicago firm
was too tempting to turn down and
heaccepted it.- His many Holt county
friends will wish him abundant hap
piness and prosperity in bis new
home.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Cowperthwaite
and Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Cowperth
waite left last Wednesday morning for
Anaheim, California, where they will
spend a few weeks visiting friends and

turn to O’Neill in the spring and upon
their return Art will build a new
home in this city. Their many O’Neill
friends hope that they will have an
enjoyable winter and that when they
return tjiey will be more in love with
old Holt than ever. The Frontier
will visit them each week in Califor
nia and keep them posted upon the
happenings in this section.
Last Saturday afternoon and night
was one of the worst ever experienced
in this section of the country at this
season of the year The, mercury rega.
istered about 4 below zero and the
wind blowing at a sixty mjie clip
made it seem to be about 40 below.
Reports from the country are to the
effect that the potatoes that are still
in the ground are frozen. The storm
was general extending clear to the
Atlantic coast and south to the Gulf
of Mexico. In north Dakota a few
persons were frozen to death, and a
cyclone in Wisconsin killed a number
of persons. From the newspaper re
ports the storm was much worse west
and east of here than it was here.
The divorce case of Tressie Mc
Carthy against William McCarthy,
commenced in the district court a few
months ago, was dismissed last
Wednesday on motion of the plaintiff
and immediately after the dismissal
she filed a i ew case in which she al
leged that she Dad been treated with
extreme cruelty by the defendant.
She also asked the custody of their
two children. A few hours after the
case was tiled it 'came on for hearing
and she was granted a divorce, but
Mr. McCarthy was granted the cus
tody of the children, but the mother
was given permission to visit them at
any time she desired. Property
rights were agreed upon between the
plaintiff and defendant prior to the
divorce.
The “Hurrah Girl” is the latest. Of
course you have seen her, if you do rot
know her. She creates a furore when
ever she goes, and she goes almost
everywhere. She leads in conversation
and talks loudly for effect. In the
drug store she calls for three or four
kinds of syrup in tier soda and in the
dry goods store she'gossips with the
clerk and begs, aye, demands a score
of samples. In the street car she makes
a show of declining the seat tendered
by some dude, but she seats herself
with alacrity just the same. She can
talk on almost any subject, particu
larly on masculine themes, and attends
the base ball games regularly. On the
street she rushes along pelmell, greet
ing her acquaintances vociferously,
and she is proud of the attention she
attracts. She is sarcastic, and woe to
the individual who displeases her!
The “Hurrah Girl” is a new-comer,
but every girl has her day, and this
particular girl will probably have as
short a day as her unlamented sister,
the girl of the (late) period.

Obituary.
Died at his residence In the western
past or the city Thursday morning at
1 o’clock, Joel Ooykendall, aged 87
years 11 months and 12 days, after an
illness of but a few days, of pneumo
nia.
Deceasad was born in New York
state on December 4,1823. In 1851 he
was united in marriage at East
Bloomfield, N. Y , and shortly there
after moved west, settling In Ohio
and afterwards removing to Iowa,
from which state he came to this
county in the spring of 1880 and set
tled upon a homestend fifteen miles
east of this city where he remainad
until the spring of 1800 when he
moved to this city, where be resided
up to the time of his death.
Notwithstanding his advanced age
deceased was enjoying good health and
was able to come down town and vote
on election day. Last Thursday he
had a arid and his relatives believed
he was coming down with an attack
of the grip, but the cold rapidly de
veloped into pneumonia and he peace
fully passed away as above stated.
Deceased leaves an aged wife a
daughter Miss Alice and a son, M. A.
Coykendall of Houston,Texas,to mourn
the death of a kind and loving hus
band and father. To his aged wife the
blow will be an especially hard one as
she has been his constant companion
for more than sixty years, they hav
ing celebrated their COtli wedding an
niversary on December 15 last, and to
her andl the children we join oth
er friends in extending sympathy.
On account of the delicate condition
of Mrs. Coykendall’s health the funer
al services will be held at|the house at
2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.
Indignant at Westover.
The following taken from the Yal
entine Republican seems to indicate ,
that the voters of that county are be
coming disgusted with Judge West
over.
Although he was the only candidate
for district judge, it is evident there
was much feeling against Judge West
over. In Schlagel precinct he was
beaten by voters writing in the name
of Wm. Heelan- In Gillespie precinct
he was beaten by voters writing in
the name of Dan Barnes. In Barley
precinct two votes were cast for Char
les Sellers, the man recently murder
ed. Cody precinct gave Harry Ware,
a colored man, seventy six votes as
against Westover’s twenty-five ivotes.
In giving a nigger a majority of 51
votes in Cody township the voters of
that township were certainly rubbing
it in with vengence.
This feeling against Judge Westover
is caused by his accepting the plea of
! econd degree murder over the protest
of the prosecuting attorneys, M. F.
Harrington of O’Neill and County At
torney |John M. Tucker, who were
confident they could get a jury verdict
of murder in the first degree and con
fict Eunice Murphy as an accessory.
The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, Neb., Nov. 14, 1911
—Special weekly market letter from
Nye, Schneider Fowler Co.
The cattle market opened this week
with a strong tone and a general ad
vance of about 10 oents but the liberal
receipts at all of the markets on Tues
day seemed to turn the trend of val
ues backward again in most of the
other markets, but it is held about
steady here. We hardly believe re
ceipts will be heavy enough at this
point this week to bring any serious
reverse in prices.
We quote:—
Choice beef.$7.00@$7 75
Common Beef down to. 4.75
Choice Cornfed cows... 4 70@5.25

Our hog market at the opening of
this week was fully on par with Chi
cago on the general run of packers
purchases. Bulk $6.35 to $6.40, top
$6.45.
Fat sheep and lambs moved up a
notch this week owing to the moder
ate run, but thin classes and the feed
ers are not in very active demand, as
buyers are not plentiful now.
