Tavener, who was a resident of this city about eight years ago, as agent for the Nye Schneider Co.> died at his home at Oakdale last week, after an illness of but a few months. Several large elm trees have been planted around the Public Library and the ground seeded to blue grass. In a few years the grounds of the library building promises to be one of the beauty spots of the city. Albert Kaczer of Blackbird was in the city last Monday having brought in two hogs from his farm that he sold on the O’Neill market for $92.40. The two hogs weighed 1170 pounds. It would not take many hogs of this kind to put a man in the Rockfeller class. O. 0. Snyder left last Friday morn ing for Omaha and Lincoln. In the latter city he was joined by Mrs. Snyder and they left Saturday night for Colorado. Mrs. Snyder stopping at Akron, where she will spend a few days visiting her brother, while O. 0. goes to Denver to look after some business matters there. They expect to return home the latter part of the week The school board failed to receive a bid for the old school building which they had advertised for sale, party buying same to wreck it and haul it off the school grounds. At the next meeting of the board they will try and devise some means of getting rid of the building, as it detracts from the appearance of the new building. Sam Nelson, for many years a resi dent of this county but now living at Thermopolis, Wyo., arrived int the city last week for a couple of weeks visit with relatives and old time friends in this city and county. Mr. Nelson says he likes Wyoming first rate but that he still loves old Holt and its people. He will return to his Wyoming home the first of next week and The Frontier will visit him each week hereafter and keep him posted upon the happenings in this section of the universe. The voters of Butte township, Boyd county, will vote on a proposition to give $60,000.00 bonds to assist the Niobrara River Electric Light & Power Co., to build a railroad from Anoka to Butte and southeast from Butte to a point on the Niobrara river not to exceed two miles east of the line of Butte township, on May 26th. Hugh O’Neill of Anncar is the president of the company that pro poses to build the railroad. The estate of the late Thomas McNally of Emmet was settled in county court last week. Deceased owned three valuable quarters of land near Emmet and this desirable farm still remains in the posession of the family. There were two heirs to the estate, Mrs. W. G. O’Malley of Buffalo, N. Y., and Mrs. B. J. Gaffney of Emmet, sisters of the deceased, and Mrs. O’Malley sold her share of the estate to her sister, Mrs. Gaffney, and in becoming the owner of this farm Mrs. Gaffney secures one of the most fertile farms in Emmet township. The sisters have arranged with O. F. Biglin to have their brother’s re mains removed to Mt. Calvery ceme tary of this city and a beautiful granite monument will be erected to his memory. S. J. Crawford of Beemer, Neb., was arrested Tuesday afternoon on the charge of gambling and taken before Judge Gatz, in police court, and fined $10 and costs, Crawford pleading guilty to the charge against himt. Crawford is the man who created considerable stir here about a year ago claiming to have been robbed of a con siderable sum of money in a hotel here and afterwards refusing to testify against the men who were held for the offense. From recent in dications it appears that the money at that time was lost in a poker game. Several local men are said to have been engaged in “guessing” contests during the past few months and the authorities claim that they are going to try and put an end to this form of amusement. S. W. Kelly of Wisner, Neb., was in the city last Friday and favored this office with a visit. Mr. Kelly has leased the Atkinson Graphic and will take editorial control of that pub lication next week. Mr. York, the present editor, will retire from the newspaper business for a time at least. Mr. Kelly is an able news paper man and for sixteen years edited and published the Wisner Free Press, which he sold a few weeks ago. He posesses ability as a writer and is a number one printer and can be depended upon to give Atkinson a splendid up-to-date paper. Mr. York has made a good paper of the Graphic and he has been accorded a splendid patronage by the hustling business men of our sister city, and The Frontier predicts, now that he has become innoculated with printers ink, that he will be back in the business again before long. Vernon Johnson, in a suit filed in the district court, asks the Bur lington railroad company to pay him $25,000.00 for injuries alleged to have been received while in the employ of the company on the bridge built by thq Burlington across the Platte river near Ashland, in February, 1914. In his petition he alleges that he was what is known as “herder” for the engines being used in the construction of the bridge. That while performing his duties the water gage on the en gine exploded and the glass therefrom struck him in the eye, cutting the eye ball and practically destroying the sight thereof. That his eye is in such condition that he will have no valuable use thereof. That prior to his in jury he was earning $3.00 per day, but by reason of said injury he will never be able to follow such an occupation again, nor will be able to work about any steam boiler or ap pliances, and can never be a mechanic of any kind, and as a result thereof his earning capacity has been greatly lessoned. That said injury was caused without any negligence on his part. For the injuries above received he asks judgment for $25,000.00 and costs of suit. Merton D. Smith has filed suit in the district court to collect $25,000.00 from the Chicago and Northwestern railroad company for injuries alleged to have been received through the negligence of said company at Har rison, Neb., on April 2, 1910. In his petition he alleges that on above date he was employed by the Western Union Telegraph company at Har rison. That the office of the Telegraph company was in the defendant com pany’s station. That the platform around said station was old, delapi dated and in a very dangerous condition. That on above night when he returned to the station, after transacting some business for the telegraph company up town, one of the planks in the platform broke and his foot catching on another plank he was thrown and severely injured and had to go on crutches until July. That by reason of said injuries he was unable to do any work until Au gust, and then only light work, and his earning capacity has been reduced $25 per month by reason of said in juries and that he has lost in wages alone, up to this time, $1,100. That his left knee and leg, which were in jured, have become worse and that he has been compelled to give up the em ployment of railroading and telegraph operating and can no longer perform such duties, and is unable to perform any labor except light clerical work and that he will always be sick and lame. For these reasons he thinks he is entitled to damages in the above amount with costs of suit. For Rent. 480 acres; located seven miles north west of Stuart. Good improvements, sixty acres rye.

Bertha M. Clay. Walt Mason: Poor Bertha’s gone to glory, she died a month ago; no more she’ll write the story of heart ache, love and woe, the story sweet and tender, of maids and weddings, for now, in realms of splendor she’s trying out her wings. I thought she was a maiden with old style cork screw curies, with beads and earrings laden, like other ancient girls; but now the truth is printed since Bertha home was called; her nose was crim son tinted, and she was slightly bald! Upon her face and body high life had left its scars; but Bertha liked her toddy* and Bertha smoked cigars! On earth no human gazed behind her in a gown, she used a safety razor to keep her whiskers down. With other mild carousers she liked a quiet game, and Bertha’s chums wore trousers, and Bertha did the same. This novelist of promise pursued deceitful plan; her given name was Thomas,— and Bertha was a man! With this fact as a starter we will not show surprise on learning that Nick Carter is grandma in disguise! The Proper Spirit. Fremont Tribune: Last week the O’Neill Frontier issued a special edition edited by the pastor and ladies of the Methodist church. This inci dent proves the liberal spirit of the citizenship of O’Neill. The editor of The Frontier is Dennis Cronin and on the first page of the edition is a large picture of St. Mary’s Academy, a flourishing institution of the town. On another page are pictures of Co lumbus hall and St. Patrick’s church. Evidently the Methodists of O’Neill are not greatly alarmed over the proclamation that America is about to suffer conquest by the Pope. Creighton Liberal: The Tribune editors are not the only ones who noticed this splendid American spirit on the part of the Methodist ladies of O’Neill. While on the subject the Tribune however could have gone further and showed that notwith standing the fact that O’Neill has the largest Catholic Academy in Nebraska and the further fact that the major ity of the taxpayers in the school dis trict are Catholics; that the finest pub lic school in the state, for a city of her size, has just been erected across the street from the Academy. Our sister city on the west seems to have more time for improving their town and less for worrying about the future salvation of their neighbors. While others are quarreling about which road to travel O’Neill has secured a hotel equal in elegance and equipment to anything in Omaha or Lincoln and her bank deposits have become the envy and astonishment of her neighbors. Robert A. Ballagh of Garfield county and Miss Harriete E. Gumb of Chambers were granted a marriage license in county court last Wednes day. J. A. Coperthwaite returned Tues day evening from California, where he had spent the winter. Joe is look ing fine and says that the bracing air of Holt feels good to him after an absance of about five months. I' or Sale—My Modern Residence.
