Tim was playing third, in his usual faultless style, and ran over toward the fence after a high foul. When he was nearly under the ball he glanced down to see how far he was from the fence and as he raised his head the ball fell striking him just over the left eye, putting him down and out for the count. Outside of carrying the discolored optic he is none the worse for the encounter. The home of Roy Townsend, in tho southeastern part of the city, was broken into last Monday night and a large quantity of jewelry and silver ware stolen.

Mr. and Mrs. Townsend have been at Up ton, Wyoming, the past month and the house has been closed for about three weeks. Mrs. Ekert has been looking after the house and she had spent a couple of weeks visiting her children at Ainsworth. She came home Mon day morning and went down to the house and opened the doors and win dows to air the building out. She fastened the screen doors and came up town for supper that evening. Af ter supper she took in the picture show and upon her return to the house about 11 o’clock discovered the rob bery. The officials are of the opinion that the thieving is the work of some boys of the city who seen Mrs. Ekert leaving the house and took this oppor tunity to ransack the place. W. B. Graves is feeling exception ally good these days and dreams of the future surrounded with wealth and all that money can buy. And it seems as if Bill had good reason to feel par ticularly good. Some eight years ago he invested in some stock in a mining company, the property of which was located in North Carolina. As the years passed and nothing was heard of the matter he had about de cided that it could be charged up to the list of poor investments when a couple of days ago the daily newspapers contained an article that gold was dis covered on the property and the indi cations were that the mine was a bonanza and everyone who had in vested in stock in the company was urged to hold onto their stock. The mine is located next to another great mine that the government values at $60,000,000. Bill says that if the strike pans out as rich as they say it is going to that the first dividends he acquires will be invested in an auto mobile. We are all hoping to see him soon the possessor of a buz wagon. The case of the State of Nebraska vs. J. M. Ward, real name unknown, who, with his partner was accused of beating a board bill, occupied the at tention of County Judge Carlon and six time-pressed business men all day Monday. It appears from the evidence offered at the trial that Ward and his pal, W. C. Floyd, who were in the city soliciting subscriptions for an Indiana farm paper, on Sunday the 28th day of June after partaking of the hospi tality of our local hotels for a week departed without paying their bill which amounted to $8.75 apiece. They were later located at Niobrara and brought back for trial. E. H. Whe lan represented the defendants, County Attorney Hodgkin the state. Several witnesses were examined on both sides after which the jury de liberated a couple of hours and found them not guilty. The county attorney then dismissed the complaint against Loyd and they both left town Tuesday morning. A short time before their first hurried departure Chief of Police John Kane discovered them prowling around in the residence section of the city and arrested them, but they were later released. It is also understood that they were arrested while at Neligh. Grace Fouts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fouts of this city, and Alice Burns, daughter of a farmer living iust north of this city, caused some anxiety upon the part of their relatives last Monday when they ran away from home. The young ladies eft O’Neill and drove to Emmet, where they took the afternoon pas senger for Long Pine intending to take -he evening passenger for Wyoming, fheir parents heard of the affair and Mr. Fouts and Mr. Burns went to Long Pine on the evening train and found :he young ladies sitting in the depot at the Pine waiting for the train. Miss Fouts then displayed to her father her narriage certificate, showing that she taad been married on July 3, in Omaha to S. B. Loomis and was on her way to Wyoming to join her husband. Loomis formerly worked in the Burlington de pot here and her folks knew that she was engaged to him but did not know they contemplated getting married so soon. Her father then offered no ob jections and she went on west that night to join her husband, who is station agent at Orion Junction, Wy oming ., Miss Burnsi had become disatisfied here and was on her way to Wyoming where she figured on secur ing work. Her father persuaded her to return home with him and every thing is now serene. The ringing of the fire bell last Tuesday morning about 7:30 brought the citizens of O’Neill to the fire house from all directions. The alarm was given in oder to bring the citizens of the city together to organize search ing parties for Dorothy Davidson, aged 11 years, who disappeared Mon day afternoon. When Dorothy did not return home that evening her par ents searched for her and when they were unable to find her several search ing parties were organized and search ed most of the night, some of the searchers just returning to town shortly after daylight to get break fast and start again. A little girl was seen walking least on the railroad track Monday evening and the country east of town along the track was thoroughly searched Monday night. Nearly every home between here and Inman, near the track, was called at except the home of Joseph Singleman, about four miles east of this city and it was there that the little girl was. She arrived there about 8:30 Monday evening and was put to bed and when the second searching party were on their way out they met Mr. Singleton coming to town with the little girl. She was affected with the heat and does not have a very distinct recol lection of her travels of Monday after noon but is rapidly improving. O’Neill Trims Dorsey. The Dorsey boys came in last Sun day to try conclusions with the O’Neill ball club upon the local diamond. The boys were short some of their regular players and did not put up a very creditable game on that account. Bill Martin was on the firing line for the visitors and while he was not touched for very many hits, several of them with errors coming in the same in ning allowed the local boys to run away with the game. Lintt twirled his usual good game for the locals, hold ing Dorsey down to three hits and fanning eight. Following is the score by innings: O’Neill.1 2 0 2 7 0 0 1 *—13 Dorsey.0 0002000 0—2 Hits: O’NeillQP; Dorsey 3. Struck out: Lintt 8; Martin 3; Karr 1. Er rors: O’Neill 4; Dorsey 9. A Tribute to the Irish. Through the courtesy of C. E. Stout we are in possession of Har courts’ Midsummer Magazine, devoted to stationary retailers, in which re fering to Daniel A. Hagerty, an Irish man in the U. S. Marines, who was one of the first to fall in the recent Mex ican trouble, they pay the following tribute to the Irish: Sure you’ll always find the Irish where there’s fighting to be done, Be it fists, or rough-and-tumble, or the handlin’ of a gun. When they sound the charge, you’ll al ways find the Irish in the van, For there’s somethin’ in his heart that makes the Mick a fightin’ man. Sure, it had to be Hagerty to be the first to fall, If it wasn’t for the Irish, sure we’d win no wars at all, An’ it’s proud we are of Daniel an’ of all his gallant clan, For there’s somethin’ in his veins that makes the Mick a fightin’ man.
