fishing trip. The boys returned home
Wednesday night and say that they
had a nice trip, lots of fishing but
were unable to land very many bass.
The heavy winds the latter part of
last week riled the lake to such an ex
tent that it was almost impossible to
do much with a hook and line, but
notwithstanding their inability to land
the elusive bass they say they had an
enjoyable time on the trip.
“Holt county looks better to us than
ever” is the unanimous opinion of
Frank Valla and Frank Geis, who re
turned last night from a ten day auto
mobile trip to Montana. They travel
ed through a large portion of South
Dakota, Wyoming and Montana but
say that no place can compare with
good old Holt. At Eklaka, Montana,
they spent several days with John
Ryan and Ben Jones, former O’Neill
boys, and they say the boys are
getting along nicely and like the
country. It was a splendid trip and
the boys say they thoroughly en
joyed it.

deputy postmaster here for the past
three years, is now acting postmaster,
having been appointed to that position
upon the removal of Mr. Marsh. Mr
Marsh was removed some time ago
and the bond company notified to put
some person in charge of the office
The bond company selected Mr. Smith
for the position. The department
notified Mr. Smith to take charge oi
the office, but Mr. Marsh refused to
turn the office over to him. The de
partment was then notified and an in
spector was sent here and the office
was turned over to Mr. Smith last
Thursday. The present appointment
was made by the bonding company
and will last until a regular appoint
ment is made.
Holt county was blessed with a
splendid rain last Monday night. The
precipitation here amounted to an inch
and a quarter, while in some sections
of the county it was much heavier.
This rain puts crops in splendid con
dition and everyone is happy. Old
time farmers tell us that corn is far
ther advanced this year then it has
been any season for the past twenty
years. Years ago it was the common
custom here to lay corn by July 4th,
as by that time corn had grown so
tall that it was impossible to plow it
without breaking down the stalks.
But of late years corn has been much
later and corn plowing was not laid
by until the latter part of the month.
With favorable weather the balance
of this month and the fore part of Au
gust Holt county will harvest an enor
mous crop of corn this fall.
' Patrick J. Gallagher, of Stafford,
has brought suit against the North
western railroad company to collect
$655.00 for delayed shipment and the
death of two head of cattle. In his
petition he alleges that on March 14,
1914, at Hastings, Neb., he delivered
to the defendant company one car con
taining 51 head of cattle and another
containing 13 head of cattle and nine
head of horses. The cattle were bill
ed to Stafford, Neb., and should have
reached their destination in fifteen
hours, but that the company took
forty-four hours in hauling said cattle
from Hastings to Stafford, twenty-nine
hours longer than it should have.
For these twenty-nine hours overtime
he asks that the company be compelled
to pay $10 per hour, and that on ac
count of the damages he sustained by
reason of said delay the additioal sum
tff $290.00, making a total of $580.00.
In his second cause of action he al
leges that on account of the careless
ness of the company one steer, valued
at $45.00 and one heifer, valued at
$35.00, were killed and he asks judg
ment for $655.00 and costs of suit.
This suit is similar to one tried at the
last term of district court in which a
♦ordict for the plaintiff was ordered
by the court.
Annual Meeting.
The Old Settlers’ Picnic Association
will hold its regular annual business
meeting at the Meek store Saturday,
July 11, at 8 o’clock p. m.
All members and all others in
terested are earnestly requested to be
present.
Wm. Clevish, President.
Edward Larson, Secretary.
Veterans Extend Thanks.
The Gen. O’Neill, Colburn Post, G.
A. R. Department of Nebraska, desires
to return their sincere thanks to the
ladies who assisted them in securing
flowers for Decoration Day; also to
the Sisters of St. Francis, the teachers
in the public schools, to the mayor and
citizens generally who helped us to
properly observe the day. Hugh
Boyle deserves speecial mention for
coming to our assistance at the last
minute with an oration which was ap
preciated by all.

Lyle McRoberts, Adjutant.
O’Neill, Trims Royal.
Spooner’s Sluggers again demon
strated their superiority over the
teams of this section upon the local
diamond last Sunday afternoon when
they trimmed the Royal team by a
score of 10 to 1.
The boys from down the Burlington
were outclassed in all departments of
i.he game and never had a look in.
1 hey secured one score, it coming in
the sixth inning and was an earned
run and for a time it looked as if they
had Mr. Lintt’s goat but a fast double
play, Boyle to Tomsick to Murphy re
tired the side. This inning opened
with Hughes securing a two base hit.
H. McGoff followed with a clean single
to left field on which Hughes score!
but McGoff was thrown out at second,
Sullivan to Ryan to Tomsick. J.
Reefe then connected for a single and
an error by Lintt filled the bases with
only one down. Rundquist then hit
into a double and their spurt was
over. In the following three innings
the boys from Royal never secured a
hit
An error gave O’Neill one in the
first inning, but in the third the game
was put on ice. Boyle started the in
ning with a clean single and Ryan fol
lowed with a two base clout and Ed
die Tomsick cleaned the bases with a
three base drive into deep center;
Alberts and Leahy followed with clean
singles and Sullivan Was safe on an

error at second; Gallagher secured a
Cincinnati hit and Murphy secured a
:lean single. During this bombard
ment six runs crossed the plate and
the boys were of the opinion that they
bad secured enough as they had all
betted around. Hugh Boyle then fan
ned and Tim Ryan went out on a drive
to center. Nothing more doing in the
run line until the eighth inning, al
though Eddie Tomsick secured another
three base drive after one was down
in the sixth, but the hit to score him
was not forthcoming and he expired on
third. In the eighth O’Neill ad
ded three more scores, just for good
measure. After Boyle was down sec
ond to first, Tim Ryan connected for a
single and took second on a passed
ball. Tomsick went out on a fly to
left. Pitcher Reefe was a little
nervous and he hit Alberts; Leahy
connected for his third hit of the game
ruling the bases. Lintt then stepped
up and made a terriffic drive to deep cen
ter, clearing the sacks, but was caught
at the plate in attempting to stretch
it into a home run and the sport was
over. ■»
It was a good game with lots of hit
ting, which is the delight of all fans,
and with very few errors. Following
is the score by innings:

injury Through Late Cultivation.
Farmers cultivating corn for the
list time are advised by the Nebraska
College of Agriculture not to culti
vate too deeply. At the last cultiva
tion, the roots have spread out to such
x distance and are so near the surface
that the shovel points may do them
considerable damage. The long, deep
running points of the four-shovel
cultivators are particularly apt to be
harmful in this way. In “laying-by”
corn, one is justified in cultivating
ueeply only when weeds are large or
the ground has been badly run to
gether by extremely heavy, packing
rains.
The new base ball uniforms have
arrived and the boys now look “swell."
