/ The Frontier._ VOLUME XXXI11. O’NEILL. NEBRASKA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13,1913 NUMBER 35 NEW HOTEL, NEARING COMPLETION, A MODEL A Thing of Beauty As Well As Sub stantial and Secure. MASONRY - STEEL FIRE-PROOF Something In the Way of a Hotel Building In Which the Commun ity May Be Proud. The new hotel, The Golden, is get ting along pretty well toward com pletion. The second and third stories are ready for the furnishings, while the lower story and basement are nearing the finishing touches. From cellar to roof this building presents a model of perfection- in ap pearence, convenience, security and duribillty in which Mr. Golden in par ticular and the community in general can feel a large degree of pride. It was built with the idea of combining art with safety and convenience for hotel patrons and the net result is gratifying beyond expectation's. Mr. Golden goes to no little trouble to show visitors through the building, a comprehensive description of which can at best be but vainly' attempted with pencil and paper. The structure contains fifty rooms above the base ment, which is also arranged in num erous apartments. The floors of the second and third story are concrete, as are also all baseboards and thres holds. The stairways leading to the second floor, wide and commodious, are iron with marble steps. Those leading to the third floor are iron and concrete. This plan is followed in alt the stairways. The only dumber used is in the doors and windows, which renders destruction by fire practically impossible. The floors of the ground story are in handsome tifTng designs that give those apartments a touch of palacial elegance and make a most inticing place for travelers to stop. Many hotel men have been here to see the building with the view of leas ing it and all pronounce it the finest building in the state. Arrangements have not yet been completed foir, the lease of the build) bg, which when completed and furnished will be thrown open fora public reception. Letter List Mrs. Farquharsen—foreign, iMr. H.

A large bunch of mortgages were released at the county cierk’s office one day last week.

Biglin of this city bas plucked one of the red ripe plums from the Btate patronage tree. It came this morning in the shape of an appoint ment from the hands of blB exeelency the governor making P. J. deputy oil and food Inspector for the Sixth con gressional district. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hunter came in last Thursday from Middle Branch and Friday departed for the east. They will stop a short time in eastern Iowa and then go on to Allenwood, Pa., where they expect to remain for four or five months visiting the scenes of Mr. Hunter’s boyhood days. Col.

Milch cows reached the high mark of $71 a head. The sale totaled $3,700, and it took the colonel three hours to sell tbe property. Walter Pickering of Norfolk was in town Friday last on business and in cidentally talking over events of the early days. Mr Pickering was a member of the Mineola base ball team in the days when Mineola was on the map as a hustling town and bad a bunch of ball players that were hard to beat. He is now a commercial salesman and resides at Norfolk. u. a. xnompson.postomoe inspector, has been inspecting several offices north of O’Neill for several days. Sunday he was called on by about 25 patrons of the Dorsey star line who were deprived of their mail delivery some weeks ago by reason of the con tractor refusing to supply them. Mr. Thompson promised to take the matter up with the proper officials and have the matter adjusted if possible. The residents on the east end of Douglas street are experiencing a midwinter drouth. The water pipes are froze up tight leaving the bouses along the line of the freeze without water. It seem? that the water main lies beneath the shallow surface of the gutter so that the frost has to penatrate only about two feet of earth from the surface to reach the pipes. So far unavailing efforts have been made to thaw them out. The local postofflce officials are very much pleased with the working of the parcel post system so far. They say that in the handling of the parcels the new system is more simple and it is as well protected in the mails and dis patch as the old way of sending packages. So far the office has handled , about 2,000 packages and parcels. The public are mailing their packages in conformity with the regulations of the new law, and the parcel post seems to catch the public better than any departure so far in the postoffice department. A Visitor's Observations Niobrara Tribune: The writer went to Spenoer Sunday and made an auto trip from there to O’Neill with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sedlaoeic and Will Korab to furnish the music for a dance. O’Neill is a hustling little city of 2500 people and many of the improve ments were pointed out to the party by a former Niobrara resident, San ford Parker. Amoung these improve ments are a large creamery, the ex haust steam of which furnishes steam beat for many of the finest business buildings of the city; the 940,000 Catholic church and the Catholic school; the new sewer system; the new Golden Hotel, which is being complet ed at a cost of nearly 950,000. The steam heat, hot and cold water in every room, tile floor, bath rooms and connection with tbe sewer system, makes this the finest hotel in the state for a city the size of O’Neill. While at O’Neill, the party was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sanford Parker. Mr. Parker first beard the Marshall String Band in 1876, and insisted that the orchestra play the first selection—a waltz—he had heard given by the old organiza tion. It has remained one of his favorites for 37 years and is always enjoyed by the dancers of the present day. Mr. Parker liked the music of the Marshall String Band so well that he secured them to furnish the music for a dance at O’Neill March 17, 1881, and it was mostly through his efforts that the writer *%nd the Spencer orchestra made the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Parker are fine people to meet and display some of the old time hospitality that is so seldom extended to guests of the present day. To sit at their table is a pleasure; to spend a few hours in their home away from the hustle and strenuouslty of business, rests the nerves and gives a feeling of contaptment. Defends the Profession. Omaha News: Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 6.—That Nebraska editors and news paper men in general are the best, most incorruptible, most honest and most upright men that walk the earth, was the eulogy paid Ithe moulders of publlo opinion by Dennis Cronin of O’Neill, in discussing the resolution for an investigation of the telephone combine, charged with sub sidizing newspapers. Cronin is the only newspaper man in the legislature and did nobly in upholding the in tegrity of his fellow writers. Antelope Democrats Mad. Nellgh Register: -Much dissatisfac tion exists among the demoorats of this vicinity with Governor Morehead on his appointment of Austin ol Central City to the position of deputj I oil inspector for the third congressional I district.

Schroeder Dies at Pender The following account of tbe deatb of a former O’Neill citizen ia found in the Pender Times: "F. W. Schroeder, the cigar manufacturer,died yesterday at an Omaha hospital where he had been taken the day before by the local Odd Fellow lodge, Brothers H. J.

JDBY FINDS BIGHABD SONNOT GDILTY Trial of Shooting Case Results In Acquittal of Defendant JURY GETS JUDGE OUT OF BED Court Officials Aroused at Unusual Hour to Receive the Findings of the Jury. Judge Diokson, Clerk Harmon and the attorneys were roused from their beds of slumber at 2:30 this morning by the jury in the case of the state against Herbert Richardson who were ready to report. The jury was ac comodated by the court convening at this unusual hour and their verdict of not guilty handed in and read, where upon the prisoner was officially dis charged. The case went to the jury at 6 o’clock last evening. It was ex pected by everyone who had watehed the progress of the trial and beard the testimony that a verdict would be ar rived at in a very short time, but when up to 11 o’clock no verdict had been returned considerable anxiety was felt on the part of the defense. It was a source of wonderment on the< part of nearly all who had taken in terest in the. trial that the possibility of conviction should be entertained, but when the jury continued to re main out the fact that som6 of them were for conviction became apparent. The trial lasted three days. It has drew a large crowd at the court room every day. The racts or tne ease as Drought out in court are as follows: In the early morning of November 2 last, about sunrise, Herbert Rich, ardson, residing in the Eagle creed country twenty-two miles north west of O'Neill, saw wbat he took to be two coyotes some sixty rods distant from bis barnyard. He scoured his rifle and shot three times at what he supposed was a coyote sitting on a knoll. The third shot he>saw a figure rise up and discovered It was a woman be bad been shooting at. The other object supposed to be a coyote was a dog. The woman proved to be. a neighbor of the Richardson’s, Mr*. Louis Steabner, who was out with her dog on tho hill sides at an early morning hour herding their cattle. It was testified that Mr. Riobard son ran to Ids house and exclaimed to • his wife “My God! Its a woman I’ve been shooting at!” At this Mr*. Richardson ran over to Mrs. Steabner to ascertain if she had been struok by any of the bullets, but she bad not*. The Steabners had Richardaon arrest* ed on a charge of assault with a rifle with Intent "to wound.” Public sen timent has developed that the defeat dant had no intention of shooting the woman and that the case should never . have been taken Into court. County Attorney Hodgkin was as sisted In the prosecution by J. J. Har rington and that they put up a good fight was shown by tbe attitude of the jury. J. A. Donohoe ably defended Mr. | Richardson. At the close of tbe Richardson ease a new jury was oalled and the docket cleared of two equity cases by In- f ’ structed verdicts being returned in the cases of John H. Mohr vs. John A. ~ Morehouse awarding plaintiff Judg* r ment for <164.90, and Albert J. Booth . vs Edward Peterson et al., the plain, i tiff, who was suing for recovery on a - stock of goods alleged to have been . obtained from him by fraud, being t awarded judgment for <10,166.81. f The following equity cases, suits on 3 notes, have resulted in judgments in g each case for the plaintiffs: j Robert Mv Peyton vs. J.
