Big Damage Suit Started.
A suit for *35,000 has been filed in
the district court by Herman L
Anderson against the Chicago Bur
lington & Quincy railroad company,
for injuries alleged to have been re
ceived while In the employ of that
company as fireman on October 19,
1909. In his petition he alleges that
be was employed as fireman on an en
gine on the date above mentioned In
Dawes county, Nebraska, and that
when on the outskirts of the village of
Crawford a collision occured between
the engine he was on and a large num
ber of box cars owned by said com
pany. That while attemplng to get
off said engine he was partly thrown
off and partly fell off sustaining in
juries that has made him a cripple
and that he ever will be sick, lame
and diseased. That said collision
was caused by the negligence of the
railroad company and its employees.
He says that the steam valves upon
the engtne were in such condition
that a large amount of steam was al
lowed to escape and that it was im
possible to see any objects ahead of
said engine. After said injuries he
was waited upon by representatives of
said company and informed that the
Injuries were not permanent and that
if he did not bring suit against the
company they would provide him with
benefits during his enforced absence
from work and when it was fully de
termined as to the extent of his in
' Junes they would settle with him,
and that if a satisfactory settlement
could not be affected he could then
bring suit and that they would not
raise as a defense that the statute of
limitation ran against the suit, ne
further alleges that he was not aware
of the permanency of his Injuries until
this spring and that when he asked
for settlement the company replied
that the injuries were received so
long ago that the.statute of limita
tion ran against it and tl)ey could do
nothing for him, so he brings suit for
the above amount, with costs of suit.

Mrs. P. D. Mullen, in this city last

70 years and six months, after an ill
ness of about one year.
Deceased was born In county Mayo,
Ireland, on February 5,1843. In 1895,

, emigrated to the land of the free and
located in Pennsylvania, where so
many of his friends and neighbors

Pi"0, he was united In marriage to
Bridget Rooney and on April 18, 1878,
they came to this county and located
upfln a farm nine miles northwest of
this city, where the family resided for
over a quarter of a century, Mrs Mc
Ginnis passed to the great beyODd in
March, 1902, and two years thereafter
the family left the farm and Mr. Mc
Ginnis moved to this city and had
made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. P. D. Mullen, since that time.
Mr. and Mrs. McGinnis were the
parents of four/children, all of whom
survive their parents and were pre
sent at the burial of their father.
They are: Roger J., and P. J. of
Cody, "Wyo , Mrs. P. D. Mullen of this
city, and Miss Bee of Omaha.
In the passing of Mr. McGinnis
Holt couhty loses another of her old
time citizens and probably one o' the
best known or the old citizens of the
county. When in the bloom of young
manhood, nearly thirty-six years ago,
he came to this county and settled in
what was at that time the wilderness,
ten miles northwest of this city, he
was a comparatively poor man and
like all the other old timers of this
section endured many hardships and
privations. But he stuck to it arid by
close attention to his own affairs
acquired a comfortable fortune and
during the past ten years had been
abl^ to take life easy, enjoying the
fruits of his Industry and thrift. Mr.
McGinnis was a good citizen, a man
loved, respected and admired by ail
with whom he came in contact.
The funeral was held last Sunday
noon from the Catholic church, and
was largely attended oy old time
friends, neighbors and acquaintances
of the deceased, the remains being
Interred in the Catholic cemetary,
beside the body of Ills wife who had
preceeded him to the great beyond
eleven years ago.
The World's Series.
A large crowd of lovers of the
national game have congregated at
Jack Sullivan’s popular hostelry on
lower Fourth street the past three
days to w Itness the returns received
from the great championship baseball
games now on between New York of
the National league, and Philadelphia
of the American league. While wait
ing for the returns between innings
the admirers of both sides discussed
the many points of advantage posses
sed by their favorites and in many
Instances backed their judgment on
the ability of their favorite team with
good coin of the realm.
The game Tuesday afternoon, being
the first of the series, was looked upon
as an Indication of how the battle for
the flag would terminate and the re
turns from the national league park
were eagerly looked for. The loca1
fans supporting Philadelphia seems to
be largely In the majority and when
In the third Inning New York pushed
the first score across the pan their
was loud rejoicing in the ranks of the
followers of the Giants. But their
joy was short lived, as in the very
next Inning, the fourth, the Phila
delphia sluggers jumped upon Mar
quared for hits enougli to score three
runs. They blanked New York in
their half of the same Inning and in
the very next inning they sinched the
game by adding two more scores and
drove one of New York’s Ipet pitchers
to the kennell. This brought the joy
of the Philadelphia fans to the shout
ing point and the followers <f the
Giants could only say: Wait until to
morrow, we will even up. The final
score was (1 to 4 for Philadelphia.
Bender pitched the entire game for
Philadelphia while Marquared, Cran
dall and Tesereau were in the box for
New York. lilts: New York 11;
Philadelphia 10. Errors, New York
1; Philadelphia 1.
Montana Jack's place was crowded
Wednesday afternoon to witness the
receipt of the returns from Philadel
phia on the second game of tire great
contest. It was generally recognized
that Mathewsou, the peer of the New
York twirling staff, would be upon
the mound for the Giants, and that
great left handed twirler of the Phil
lies, Plank, the veteran star and heroe
of former world’s series, woulcl be his
opponent and a great contest was
looked for and the people were not
disapointed. New York won in the
tenth inning with a score of 3 to 0.
For nine innings neither side were
able to score and it was evident by
the returns that one of the greatest
pitching contests of all time, between
two veterans of the game, was in pro
gress at Philadelphia, and the receipt
of the news of the victory was cherred
by the crowd, the Phlllie tans joining
the New Xork boosters In paying
tribute to the great master of the
diamond, Mathewson. Hits: New
York 7; Phlladelpha 8. Errors, New
York 2; Pnlladelphia 2.
The game this (Thursday) afternoon
was a walk-away for Philadelphia as
they won with a score of 8 to 2. Bush,
one of Philadelphia’s you ng pitchers,
went into the box and pitched a
splendid game, holding New York to
five hits, while his team mates were
gathering twelve hits off tire New
York twiriers, driving Tesreau, one
of the best twiriers on the New York
staff, to the bench in the seventh,
Crandall finishing the game Eacli
team had one error charged to them.
Three of the best stickers upon the
New York team, Merkle, Myers and
Snodgrass, are out of the game on ac
count of injuries and it now appears
as if Philadelphia had the better of
the argument in tin; contest for the
honors and the large end of the purse
that goes with the title.
A Protest.
Joy, Nebr., Aug. 6, 1913,
Editor Frontier:. I read in the In
dependent of Oct. 3rd, a notice entitl
ed “Holt county Corn Contest,” offer
ing beer and whiskey as prizes from
It. J. Marsh. In another column the
attention of the people was called to the
fact and said these priz»s were good
things. If the editor of that paper
calls these prizes good things, 1 want
to tell him there is one wife and
mother who cannot agree with him
These prizes are to be awarded on
Thanksgiving day. Now I should like
to know where, in this land of the
free and home of the brave, you can
lind a mother, wife, daughter or sister
who can sit quietly down, on Thanks
giving day, and thank God that her
son, husband, father or brother, has
been fortunate in winning ode of
these prizes. Fathers, brothers ann
husbands I appeal to you? Stop and
think of that wife and mother who
has patlenly toiled for you and your
little ones. Think of that fair
young daughter, would you like to
have her choose as a companion for
life a young man that frequents this
sample room? Think of that son of
yours, would you like to have him
enter this sample room on Thanks
giving day, pure and innocent, and
receive one of thijse prizes? God
forbid. I think it should be tne pray
er of every christaln person, and es
pecially (those who have young men
In their families) that Mr. Marsh
utterly falls.
Yours for the good of the people and
everything that Is pure and clean.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.
If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrencs of capillary bron
chitis and pneumonia use chough
medicines that contain codine, mor
phine, heroin and other sedatives
when you have a cough or cold. An
expectorant like Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is what is needed. That
cleans out the culture beds or breed
places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ tfiseases. That is
why pneumonia never results from
a cold when Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy Is used. It has a world wide
reputation for its cures. It contains
no morphine or other sedative. For
sale by all dealers. __ Adv.
The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, Neb Oct. 7.—From
the Standard Livestock Commission
Co:
Cattle receipts are some lighter this
week than for the past two or three
weeks. The market rules about steady
on killers both in the beef line and
butcher stock with some of the desir
able kinds bringing little stronger
prices. Best feeders are higher than
last week’s close as are also good to
ceoice stock cattle. Many consider
any lower prices this season very
doubtful.
