most enjoyable times of his life dur
ing his visit and has been talking so
much about Deadwood since his return
that his friends believe that there
must be some attraction, outside the
“beauty” of the town, that keeps his
mind continually upon Deadwood.
Naper News: An old biddy hen
slipped one over on the weather man
at the F. M. Beck farm,just south of

chise rights.

the country, being one of the national
accredited colleges, and her selection
to a position on the faculty of this
school is a decided promotion for
her and proves her fitness and ability.
Her many Holt county friends will
be pleased to learn of her success in
her chosen profession.
The case of Flannery vs. Flannery
occupied the attention of Judge
Dickson in district court the fore
part of the week. This case grew out
of the estate of the late John Flan
nery, one of the pioneer residents of
western Holt, who died a few years
ago. Prior to his death he disposed
of his real estate by deeding it to his
three sons, they to pay a certain
amount to his daughters. When the
will was offered for probate in the
county court, objection was made to
the admittance of the will to probate,
but the objection was overruled by
the county judge and he appointed
Michael Flannery, one of the sons,
as administrator of the estate. This
decision was appealed from and in
the district court Judge Dickson sus
tained the county court. A new
action was then started to have the
administrator dismissed and it was
this action that was on trial in court
this week. Decision will probably be
handed down the first of the week.
James Quinn, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Quinn living just east of
town, acompanied by his sister,Miss
Nellie, left last Saturday morning
for Mapleton, Iowa, where on Tues
day morning, January 20, Mr. Quinn
was united in marriage to Miss
Theresa Schanher, daughter of one
of the prominent farmers of that
section. The marriage ceremony was
peformed by Rev. Father Wagner
in the Catholic church at Mapleton,
in the presence of a select number
of the relatives and friends of the
contracting parties. After the wed
ding the young people left for a visit
with relatives in the Black Hills
and in other points in South Dakota,
and are expected to arrive in this
city next Saturday. They will make
their home on the farm of the groom’s
parents, just east of this city. James
has many friends in this city and
vicinity who will extend best wishes
£o him and bride and wish them
i ."'jany years of happiness and pros
ority, in which The Frontier heartily
loins.
ing medium is without a peer in this
section was again demonstrated at
the Wadington sale, northeast of this
city last Monday. Like the Bell
sale, that was held last week, this
sale was advertised exclusively in
The Frontier and was the’ most suc
cessful held this winter. Cattle sold
as high as $80 per head and horses
sold as high as $175.00. If you are
going to have a sale it will pay you
to have the attractive sale bills that
this office turns out and to adver
tise the fact through the columns of
this paper. The expense is not great
and it made money for Waddington
and Bell, why not you?
Last Tuesday F. M. Pixley sold
his residence to P. J. O’Donnell of
Atkinson, receiving $4,000 cash there
for. This is one of the neatest little
residences in the city and was built
by Mr. Pixley last summer and is a
very desirable residence property.
Mrs. Pixley’s health has been very
poor the past year and she will go
west for a few months in an endeavor
to recover her health. Mr. Pixley
thought it better to sell than rent
the place and having an opportunity
to make an advantageous sale dis
posed of the property. Mr. O’Don
nell will take possession the first of
March and will move his family here
from his ranch, south of Atkinson,
where he has lived for the past fif
ten years.
There are several of our readers
who are still delinquent in their sub
scription and we would greatly ap
preciate it if all those who are in
arrears would call and pay up. We
have been under heavy expense the
past two months, in the way of new
equipment, in order to be in position
to get out a better paper each week
and if those who are owing us would
pay up it would relieve the finan
cial stringency around this, office.
We have been very lenient with our
readers in the past and now that
we are placed in a position where
we have to have money we trust that
our readers will appreciate our past
leniency and promptly pay what
they owe. Who will be the first one
to respond ?
This office is in receipt of a letter
from Miss E. Marie Alderson, daugh
ter of J. M. Alderson of Chambers,
ordering the address of her paper
changed from Fort Worth, Texas, to
Kenosha, Wisconsin, to which city
she moved January 1. Miss Aider
son had been teaching short hand
and typewriting in a college at Fort
Worth the past six months, resign
ing her position there the latter part
of last year to accept a like position
with the College of Commerce of Ken
osha. The latter school is one of
j the largest commercial colleges in
John Coyne, son of Mrs. Thomas
Coyne of this city, died in a hospital
in Salt Lake City, Utah, last Satur
day morning. Deceased had been
ailing for several months, suffering
from tht dread plague of western
miners, miners consumption. He had
been in the hospital for about six
weeks and had improved so much that
he had left there about a month ago.
The improvement was only tempo
rary, however, and he returned to the
hospital again the night before he
died, knowing that the end was very
near. Friends of the family in Salt
Lake notified the family here of his
death and the remains were shipped
to this city for interment, reaching
this city Monday night and the fun
eral was held from the Catholic
church Wednesday morning, inter
ment in the Catholic cemetary. De
ceased was nearly thirty-seven years
of age at the time of his death and
grew to manhod upon the old home
stead just north of this city. He
was a large robust man, the soul ol
good nature and was known as
“Happy Jack,” on account of his
jovial disposition. He left this coun
ty about thirteen years ago and sines
that time had followed his occupa
tion as a miner in nearly all the west
ern mining states. His death was £
sad blow to his aged mother, his sor
rowing brothers and sisters and the
sympathy of the people of this citj
is extended to them in their hour o1
sorrow.
The members of the county boars
were over in Boyd county last Fri
day, upon invitation of the Boys
county board, in an attempt to ge
together upon a location for the stati
aid bridge which is to be built b;
the two counties and the state. Thi
forepart of the week the Boyd coun
ty board notified the members of thi
Holt county board that they wouls
agree to the wishes of the member
of the board of this county and lo
cate the bridge at Coon Island. I
couple of days afterwards anothe
notice was received from Boyd coun
ty stating that they had become in
volved in a controversy among them
selves and asked the members fron
this county to come over and hel]
them get the matter straightened oul
The board from this county went ove
and the bridge matter was agaii
thoroughly discussed, pro and cor

learn, from the members of the boarc

the matter is as far from settlement >
now as it was at the conclusion of the
joint session of the two boards at
Norfolk last spring. Some of the
Boyd county board want the bridge
located at Parshall crossing, while
others are in favor of Coon Island.
The main objection to the location
of the bridge at Coon Island, accord
ing to one of the Boyd county memb
ers, was whether they could legally
vacate the Parshall site or not, and
if they could not legally do so, is
afraid some person might come into
court and compel them to build an
other bridge at Parshall’s crossing.
If this point could be settled to the
satisfaction of the members the
bridge would undoubtedly be located
at Coon Island.
Our Baby Hugh.
Frontier, January 8: Hugh James,
the eighteen-month old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Hugh J. Boyle, died last Wed
nesday afternoon, after a few days’
illness, of pneumonia. The funeral
will be held to-morrow morning from
the Catholic church. The many
friends of the grief-stricken parents
tender their sympathy in their hour
of trouble.
Little hands and arms so dimpled;
Golden hair, soft and like silk,
Cheeks so pretty and pink.
Beautiful starry eyes of heaven’s blue
And lips like the roses sweet.
This was our darling baby,
Whom God, an angel made.
A baby boy, the pride of all,
Was sent from God to bring us joy;
A baby, so good, so perfect;
That God thought best to take him.
Little feet tottering around
So many times did stumble;
Then mamma with kisses, the baby's
hurt would heal.
Many times with out-stretched arms,
The little lips would say: “Bye,
Mamma, Bye.”
O! Sweet baby boy how you are
missed by Mother, Father and
Little Sister;
But 'twas God’s will to take you
Home,
And ’tis best to say “Thy Will Be
Done.”
A little guiding angel you will al
ways be,
Whom someday, we hope to meet in
Heaven.
—M.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank the many kind
neighbors and friends who were so
good to us during the illness and
after the death of our baby boy.
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Boyle.
