Last week Senator Hitchcock sent
to the president the name of Chris

the president names Gruenther for the

been broken. While many are wish
ing for it they keep their fingers
crosed while hoping.

simmons of Portland, Oregon, and Mrs.

fully away surrounded by loving
friends and in the enjoyment of the
last rites of her church.
Lynch Journal: Mike Hull’s
residence burned last Sunday after
noon during the snow storm. They
were all gathered around the stove
enjoying the day when one of the
children noticed the fire breaking
through the ceiling. Mr. Hull at once
attempted to fight the flames but
learned that only a matter of minutes
remained for them U> get out. Some
of the furniture was gotten out, but
the building and most of the contents
was destroyed. Mr. Hull was badly
burned about the head and his hands
in getting the things out and will be
laid up some time with the burns.
He carried $200 insurance on the
house and none on the furniture. It
is supposed that the fire started from
the chimney.

sons, son-in-law and daughter of the
deceased and John Keeley of Valen
tine, a son, accompanied the remains.
Mr. Keeley was one of the pioneer res
idents of this county, coming here
from Pennsylvania about 1880, and
for many years resided upon his farm
about seven miles northwest of this
city. About fifteen years ago he
went to Omaha and since that time
had made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. Welsh.
At the annual meeting of the elect
ors of Padock township last Tuesday,
the tax payers of the township voted
to build five miles of road in the town
ship the coming year. Two and three
quarter miles of this road will be on
the O’Neill-Spencer automobile road,
which will take in one of the worst
pieces of road between here and Spen
cer, that between the Niobrara river

and the Lamb hill. It is the intention
of those having charge of the work
to build a first-class road, which will
be added to each year until all the
roads in the toWnship are in first-class
condition. Good roads are a great
benefit to every tax payer in the
county and The Frontier hopes that
many other townships in the county
were liberal with their road appro
priations at their annual meetings.
The debating team of the O’Neill
high school went to Atkinson last
Friday night and met the team rep
resenting the Atkinson high school in
debate. By a two to one decision the
judges awarded Atkinson first place.
The following were the members of
the O’Neill team: Hilda Longstaff,
Ruth Millard and Clarence Pine.
Those representing Atkinson were:
Earl Moss, Robert Blackburn and Ed
win Stratton. All the high school
teachers and about forty of the pupils
of the high school accompanied the
team to lend encouragement to their
pupils and classmates. Atkinson will
now meet Ainsworth, who defeated
Valentine at Valentine the same night,
and from one of these teams will be
selected the representative from this
district to the state contest at Lincoln
next May.
The wrestling match last Friday
night betwen Thompson of Omaha and
Cobb of Stuart was very dissapointing
to the large number of fans who had
gathered to witness the match. Cobb
won the match in straight falls, getting
both falls in less than half an hour.
A couple of weeks ago Thompson gave
Pavelek of Verdigris a great match
and it was the opinion of the lovers of
the mat game here that he could
take Cobb’s measure, but the
Stuart man had him outclassed. In
justice to Thompson, however, it
must be said that he was not himself
that evening. A few nights before
he had a hard wrestle in Omaha and
the day before he came here he was
in bed all day, so that when he went
on the mat that evening he was in no
condition to wrestle. It is hoped that
these two jrrapplers will get together
again where. Thompson is in prime con
dition.
t
William Luben of*|Q*met was in
the city last SaturcK,jr’ Mr. Luben
has just returned from an extended
trip through the western states, hav
ing visited in South Dakota, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Utah and Cali
fornia. While in California and
South Dakota he examined some of
the oil wells in these states and,
judging from the article, from the
Crawford Tribune reproduced in an
other column, Mr. Luben ' possesses
the gift of locating oil. He says
they have one of the greatest oil
fields in the country near Ardmore,
S. D. If they are successful in find
ing oil there, according to the instruct
ions of' Mr. Luben, residents of the
south country should get him to
try that section for oil, as many are
of the opinion that there is oil under
lying the entire southern part of this
county, as on many of the ponds and
lakes it shows upon the surface. It
might be just possible that besides
being the greatest hay country on
earth it would also turn out to be
one of the greatest oil fields in the
Union.
Last Monday S. L. Thompson pur
chased the interest of his partner,
Hary Rled, in the busy Bee Restaur
ant and will condnct the business
alone in the future. Mr. Reed has not
decided what busines he will engage
in but will probably remain in O’Neill.
Mrs. Frank Kubicheck won the set
of dishes given away by J. P. Gal
lagher.

to black leather watch fob. Reward.
