warm spot in their hearts for O’Neill
people and desire to be remembered to
all their O’Neill friends.

Several local lovers of the wrestling
game are figuring on going to Lincoln

hardest contests the young Nebraska
champion has ever been up against.
Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Phillips were in
from Star last Friday. Frank is now
driving an automobile and says that
part of the time he controls it and part
of the time the auto controls him.
Frank says as a fence wrecker an
automobile is about the best instru

down fences and break off posts with
ease as his machine demonstrated one
day when it ran away with him.
Butte Gazette: F. C. Albert, De
puty State Engineer, finished testing

the bridge can be completed by July

John McCafferty arrived in the city
last Monday morning from Butte,
Mont., to attend the funeral of his
brother, Frank McCafferty, and is
spending the week visiting relatives
here. John is in the employ of the
Guggenheims at Butte and is pros
perous. He says that things are
booming in Butte at the present time,

country. He expects to return to

E. H. Whelan, M. H. Horriskey, H.
D. Grady, H .J. Hammond, W. J.
Biglin, T. J. Coyne, Pat Harty and D.
H. Cronin went over to Creighton last
Sunday where they assisted in initia
ting a class of forty-eight members
into the Knights of Columbus. The
work was in charge of District Deputy
E. H. Whelan of this city. The visit
ing Knights were royally treated by
the members of the Creighton council
and they enjoyed their visit very much.
A banquet was tendered in the evening
at which Mr. Whelan delivered the
principal address and as usual made
the hit of the evening. A recitation by
M. H. Horriskey was also one of the
features of the evening’s entertain
ment.
The first of the week Dr. Gilligan
received a report from the chemist on
the sample of City water that he had
sent in for analysis. Dr. Gilligan’s
letter was from Dr. Denny, assistant
superintendent and medical director of
the Burlington railroad, and says: “I
have just received a report from the
laboratory on the examination of water
collected by you on October 25, which
is used for drinking purposes in the
City of O’Neill. The examination of
the water shows the same to be free
from contamination and safe to use
for drinking purposes.” This disposes
of the theory that the recent cases of
typhoid was caused by the drinking
water of the city and our people will
be glad to learn that there are no
germs in the city water.
Theodore Buras has filed suitagainst
the Chicago and Northwestern railroad
company asking $15,000 damages for
injuries alleged to have been received
while in the employ of the company at
Missouri Valley on May 6, 1916. In
his petition he alleges that on the
above date, with others he was engaged
in loading steel rails on a push car,
The car was loaded with ten rails
weighing 600 pounds each. The car
was on the track but not entirely on
the rails and he and five others were
ordered by the man in charge to lift
the car on the rails. The number of
men ordered to do this was entirely in
sufficient and he alleges that there
should hav ebeen at least ten men de
tailed for this job. While lifting the
car on the track one of the men let go
his hold on the car and the weight of
a portion of the car fell on plaintiff
and as a result he was ruptured in the
left side, and his left side and left
abdoman and left leg were crushed,
torn, lacerated and bruised. That as
a result of said injuries he has been
unable to perform any labor since that
time and that he has suffered and will
ever suffer great pain and anguish. As
a result of these injuries he asks judg
ment for $15,000.00 and costs of
suit.
Lincoln, Daily News—Omaha, Neb.
Nov. 15.—When a recommendation is
written for a boy at the high school of
commerce and it is known that he
smoke cigarets it will be so stated in
the letter. Principal Adams said that
he believed that the employer should
know beforehand if the boy smokes
cigarets and that he could then em
ploy him if he sees fit. A card giving
the quality and character of every
student is kept on file, and when it is
learned that a boy smokes cigarets it
is put on his card.
