the College Girls (?), who appeared
there the forepart of last week, was
the best show that has visited Valen
tine this season. After witnessing
the performance put on here by these
people last Monday night we are con
vinced that Valentine has had some
“bum” shows during the past winter
or that Brother Rice believes that a
vulgar display of cheap lingeree and
unshapely limbs is the acme of suc
cess or the standard of ability in the
art made famous and popularized by
Henry Irving, Melba and other fol
lowers of less fame.

set up and put in active operation.

seven more steam shovels here ready
to start in the work.

from Charles Reka, who is now living
on a homestead near Rozet, Wyoming,

check for subscription to your in
dispensible household necessity.” He
says they are having an early spring
tor that section of the country, had
some good arins and a fall of heavy,
wet snow on April 29th. Many thanks
for your commendation of The
Frontier, Charles, and we will try and
make it indispensible to you and all
other Holt county people, or former
Holt county people.
While digging a sewer ditch on
Grant street last Monday afternoon
Jack Warner met with a painful ac
cident that resulted in the fracture of
his jaw in two places. The ditch was
twelve feet deep at the point where
he was working and he had neglected
to brace it and it caved in on him
covering him up to the neck and re
sulting in the fracture of the jaw. It
is foolhardiness for any one, knowing
the treacherous condition of the soil
here, to attempt to dig these deep
ditches without proper bracing as two
similar accidents have occurred here
during the past three years.
Judge E. M. Slattery of Chadron
was in the city Monday on legal busi
ness and favored this office with a
short call. Judge Slattery says that
everything is prosperous in his section
of the state and that they have had so
much rain in Chadron during the
past month that the streets of the
city are almost impassible. The
Judge was greatly surprised at the
growth of this city since his last visit,
a little over a year ago, and expressed
the opinion that O’Neill was grow
ing faster than any town in the Elk
horn Valley and from appearances,
he thought, had a very bright future.
The Judge returned home Monday
night.
Ella B. Colford has filed suit in the
district court of this county against
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
to collect $20,000.00 for damages al
leged to have been received by falling
on a defective walk around the depot
of the defendants company’s station at
Dunkirk, Ohio, on June 6, 1913. She
alleges that the cement walk was de
fective and in a dangerous condition;
that on the above date, while walking
on said platform, after having pur
chased a ticket over the companys line
trom Dunkirk, Ohio, to Chicago, and
from there over the Burlington to
Omaha, she stepped in a hole in said
defective walk and was so badly in
jured that she is and will ever be
sleepless, nervous, lame and diseased
and that as a result of said injuries
she has endured great physicial pain
and anguish, and as a result thereof
she asks judgment for above amount
with costs of suit. Accompaning her ,
petition she files an affidavit alleging
that she has great reason to believe
and does believe that the Chicago and
Northwestern and the Burlington
railroads, corporations, and both with
in the county of Holt, are indebted to
the said Pennsylvania Company and
have property of said company, con
sisting of money due defendant, and
cars in their possession. The case will
probably come on for hearing at the
next term of court.
