1 lm Kyan met with rather a painful
accident in the ball game yesterday
afternoon that will cause him to carry
a highly decorated optic for several
days. 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. The property was found
Tuesday morning by some children hid
in the grass near the stock yards. 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.
