Walter O’Malley. He left for his
Pennsylvania home this morning.
A dozen automobiles loaded with
boosters from the hustling village of
Page were in the city yesterday boost
ing for their annual fall festival,
which will be held there tomorrow
and Saturday. Their band accom
panied them and played several choice
selections upon the city square.
Now that a record-breaking corn
yield is promised this county many of
the farmers are worrying as how they
will be able to get it out of the fields.
They say that there is such an enor
mous crop of corn this season that
help to pick the orop will be hard to
get.

W. F. Grothe of Emmet is one
Frontier reader who believes that the
editor should occasionally have some
of the good things of earth and last
Monday he brought us two large
watermelons and a couple of splendid
musk melons, which were thoroughly
appreciated by the editor and family
and Mr. Grothe has the thanks of the
editorial family for the same.
The hunting season opened upon
the first and since that date the
majority of the sports of this city
have been out in the fields hunting
the elusive chickens, with varying
success. Although there were a large
number of birds this spring the
hunters have been unable to find them
this fall and the chances are they
were nearly all killed off before the
formal opening of the season.
The case of the state of Nebraska
vs H. Clauson occupied the attention
of the county court all day Tuesday
and part of the night. Mr Clauson
was charged with making an assault
upon George Gibbons at the old
settlers picnic two weeks ago. A
large number of witnesses were sub
poened by both sides and it was a
hard fought case. It was tried to a
jury and after listening to the
evidence and the pleas of the counsel
the jury returned a verdict of guilty
and recommended to the court that
the fine be placed at 95.00 which the
court agreed to. The costs amounting
to about 975, were also taxed to Mr.
Clausen. The defendant has appealed
the case to the distrlctlcourt.

Death Angel Calls Mrs. G. C. Hazelet
Cordova Dally Alaskan, Thursday,
August 22: Shortly before the
strode of nine o'clock last night the
spirit of Mrs. George C. Hazelet had
passed to the great beyond. The
lingering summons was heroically
resisted for several days until finally
mortal strength succumbed to the
final oall that severed the ties that in
the breaking will leave the deepest
anguish and grief. Surrounded by a
devoted husband and a circle of
close friends life slowly ebbed away
during the last few hours.
The shock comes with added force
beoause It was generally believed that
this courageous woman would be
spared to complete a life of exceptional
worth, that was rich with generous
deeds and kindly thoughts. She
gradually rallied from her operation
on, Saturday afternoon last, and on
Tuesday seemed to have gathered
sufficient strength to indicate a
speedy recovery should no compli
cations set in. She talked encourag
ingly and hopefully of the future and
gate comfort to those who were
anxiously waiting the outcome.
But Wednesday morning found her
weaker, and while she was tem
porarily enabled to gain strength she
continued to fail and toward night
fall 8)11 realized that the inevitable
could not much* longer be warded off.
During most of the last two or three
hours the patient, suffering woman
was only partially conscious, and
finally passed peacefully away to enjoy
thp reward of a Christian life well
spent in many noble sacrifices to
family and intimates.
And today there is general sorrow
ing in the community where for four
years past Mrs. Hazelet has been a
leading spirit in the doing of all those
things that tended to the happiness
of the people and the welfare of the
town. Chartible in thought and deed,
and always with a consideration for
the feeling of others, this modest
woman earned and held the respect
and affeotion of all with whom she
came in contact, and particularly so
with those who were among her
Intimates and realized the generosity
of her thoughts aDd acts.
While the sorrow of the loss of this
estimable character will be borne by
{he general public, it was because of
her exceptional qualities as a fond
mother and a loving wife, that the
members of her immediate family will
have a cross to bear that will require
the utmost fortitude to sustain them
in this sad hour when the hand of
atflction is most heavy. Mr. Hazelet
and two grown sons, Calvin and Craig,
have the deepest sympathy of the en
tire people in this section of Alaska,
for they know the depth of their be
reavement, and the magnitude of
their loss.
The two sons, students at the Uni
versity of Washington, have been in
the Interior during most of their
vacation period, learning practical
mining and milling, and are absent
in this hour of their afflictions.
Calvin is doing placer mining on the
Ohlsna river in the Slate creek
country, about 160 miles from Chltina.
He has been sent for but will not be
able to reach here until the latter
part of the month. Craig has been at
Kennecott, and now on hiB way out,
expects to be here tomorrow. A
nephew, Ralph Evans, whose mother
was Mrs. Hazelet’s sister, is a resident
of Cordova and was at the bedside
when the final summons came.
Mrs. Hazelet was born at Juneau,
Wisconsin, 46 years ago. It is 24 years
years since hsr marriage at O’Neill,
where her father, A. T. Potter, now
resides at the advanced age of 82
years. Although Mr. Hazelet came
to Alaska in 1808 it was not until 1903
that his family came out to per
manently reside. They removed from
Valdez to Cordova in 1908, when Mr.
Hazelet had the town laid out and
shortly afterwards built his comfor
table home on the hillside.
Fighting Extradition.
SheriS Grady returned last Tuesday
night from St, Joseph., Mo., where he
went last Thursday morning upon in
formation that the officers of that
city had in custody Joe McHugh, who
wa9 wanted by Sheriff Grady upon a
bench warrant issued upon order of
Judge Dickson. McHugh reached
St. Joe on Tuesday and found a plain
clothes man waiting for him at the
depot. When Sheriff Grady reached
there they had McHugh in jail. A
bench warrant is of no value outside
of the state and the sheriS knew that
if McHugh refused to come back with
out requisition papers, that he would
be unable to bring him. Shortly after
Sheriff Grady’s arrival in the city
A. F. Mulien reached there and as
sisted by the ablest lawyer in that
city they soon secured McHugh’s re
lease on habeas corpus proceedings,
and be is now enjoying the sights and
the sceneiy in the Missouri city.
The latter part of last week County
Attorney Whelan swore out a war
rant for the arrest of Joe McHugh,
prosecuting witness in the Carr case,
on the charge of obainlng money
under false pretense from Ferdinand
Krutz of Ewing, and applied to Gov
ernor Aldrioh to Issue a requisition
to the governor of Missouri fqr his
return to this state. Tuesday’s State
Journal contained the following re
garding it:
"Governor Aldrich has been asked
by Mike Harrington not to issue a
requisition for the return of Joseph
McHugh from St. Joseph to Holt
county. County Attorney Edward H.
Whelan has asked the governor to
issue the requisition. The governor
will hold a hearing Wednesday to
listen to the contending parties. This
is the first time anyone has endeavor
ed to induce the governor to turn
down the request of a county attorney
for the issuance of a requisition.
"In this case the county attoiney
alleges that Moll ugh obtained more
than «35 by false pretense. It is al
leged that McHugh sold a lease on
state BCbool land which he did not
own, the lease being owned by John
Coleman. An affidavit states that
the lease was sold to Ferdinand Krutz
in return for $135 and a team of mules.
The money was paid by check, but
McHugh failed to deliver the lease.
He is said to have represented that
he had the lease in a grip, but when
he came to look for it he failed to
find it and promised to deliver it
later.
"Another reason set forth in the
county attorney's request for the re
turn of McHugh is that he is wanted
by the state as a witness in an assault
case wherein John Carr is the defend
ant. McHugh was subpoenaed but
soon thereafter left the state. Mr.
Harrington will allege that theseoond
charge, even if true, does not make
McHugh a fugitive from justice."
Attorney Whelan went to Lincoln
Tuesday morning to appear before the
governor at the hearing on the requis
ition Wednesday.

County Convention.
Pursuant to a resolution adopted
by the state progressive party as
sembled in Lincoln on Tuesday, Sept.
3rd, a call is hereby issued for a coun
ty convention of the progressive party
of Holt oounty to be held in O’Neill,
Nebraska, on Saturday, September 21,
1912, at 11 o’clock a. m. for the pur
pose of forming a county organization
and transacting such other business
as may properly come before the meet
ing. Each precinct is entitled to
representation.

Some Twine.
Will Maupln’8 Weekly: It required
7,000,000 pounds of twine to bind the
small grain crop of Nebraska in 1912.
This means upwards of 113,000 miles
of twine—enough to wrap around this
old globe of ours four times at the
equator with pretty near 13,000 miles
of twine left over to make a fancy
bowknot.
This would make a 37-strand cable
that would reach from New York to
San Francisco, and a cable of thirty
seven strands of binding twine would
besomeTope, believe us.
Edgar Howard, the versatile editor
of the Columbus Telegram and one of
the most prominent democrats in the
state, was in the city last Monday,
having come from his Platte county
home to bid on the land belonging to
the Welsh estate that was offered at
referees sale at the court house Mon
day afternoon. Mr. Howard did not
get any of the land but was of the
opinion that the successful bidder got
a bargain at the price paid.
E. W. Stansberry was up from Nor
folk last Monday. Ed was a resident
of this city for many years, having
been agent for the Nye Schneider
Fowler people here. He has quit the
grain business and has been working
for the Northwestern for the past
ten years, now being a conductor on
that line. Ed says that nearly all the
railway employees are for Roosevelt
fur president and many of his most
enthusiastic followers were former
ardent democrats.
Hon. J. W. Zink of Grand Island
was in the city last Saturday and
Sunday. Mr. Zink was a member of
the legislature in 1909 and 1911 and
gained some publicity and fame as
the author of the nine foot bed sheet
bill. His greatest claim to glory how
ever, he says, is in the fact that be
owns and operates the largest cigar
factory in the state of Nebraska.
This was Mr. Zink’s first visit to
O’Neill and he expressed himself as
highly pleased with the city and the
country surrounding it.
0. M. Gruenther of Columbus was
in the city last Monday and that
afternoon sold the 800 acres belonging
to the Jonas Welsh estate. This land
is lacated fourteen miles north of this
city and Is not what Is called good
land. Several parties were present
from the eastern part of the state to
bid upon the land and several local
men put bids upon It. The land was
sold to one of the heirs of the Welsh es
tate for 823 per acre, making a total of
$18,400.00 for the 800 acres, whioh is
considered very reasonable for the
land. This land was sold to Mr.
Welsh some eight years ago for 810 per
acre. ________
