fast making a reputation as one of the
*sest life insurance agents in the state,
being excelled only by one O’Neill man
and two former O’Neill men, Dr. G. M.
Mullen and Dr. W. H. Mullen. Mr. and
Mrs. O’Donnell have many friends in
this city and county who will be glad
to learn of their success.
The editor was in Lincoln last Mon
day and was in the supreme court
when our eldest son, Julius D. Cronin,
was admitted to the bar, and licensed
to practice in the courts of Nebraska.
He graduated from the Creighton Col
lege of Law last April, but because he
lacked a month of being twenty-one
years of age, he was unable to be ad
mitted with the members of his class,
so the trip to the capital city the first
of the week was necessary. The “Old
Man” of The Frontier naturally feels
a little proud of the fact that his boy
was able to secure a university degree
before he reached manhood’s estate.
If you have anything to sell, use the
columns of The Frontier. It’s a win
ner. There are hundreds of people in
this vicinity who have used our
columns to their advantage and are
loyal Frontier boosters. The latest to
be added to the list is D. A. Doyle. Mr.
Doyle advertised a stallion for sale.
It appeared in our columns two weeks
and he had four buyers call to see him.
Three men were disappointed for the
first man that called bought. That
little ad cost Mr. Doyle 40 cents and
he received $150. If he had advertised
this sale in any other manner it would
have cost him $20 or $30 for the ad
vertising alone and then would not,
possibly have reached the man who
wanted to buy. We cover the field
and if you have anything you will
make money by advertising in our
columns.
William Laviollette came up from his
home at North Bend the first of the
week and has spent several days in the
city visiting old-time friends. Al
though it has been several years since
“Bill” left this city he still looks upon
O’Neill as his home and says he never
feels as good as when he is walking
city greeting old time friends and ac
quaintances on every hand. From
the evidence at hand we are led to be
lieve that William is sorry that he
ever left the Emerald Tinted city
where he spent the best years of his
ifle. He has still considerable
property interests here which gives him
a good excuse, if one were needed, to
visit his old home. Come as often
as you want to “Bill” we are always
glad to see you.
The “In the Days of the Long Ago’
column in the last issue of The Fron
tier has been really the “talk of the
town” ever since, and the office has
received many commendations from
its readers for starting the publicatior
; of this column. We shall continue
. the column and will try and confine the
i reproductions of the articles to those
• concerning people who are still resi
[ dents of the county or who were
among those most prominent, and
moulders of the pioner history of this
section. If you are not a reader of
this household necessity now is the
time to enroll your name with our
great army of readers for it is the
intention of the publisher to try and
make The Frontier—always a leader
in Holt county newspapers—a house
hold necessity in every home in Holt
county. It is now read by 7,600 people
in the county every week but we want
three times that many readers. Now
is the time to get started so that you
will become familiar with the events
of the long ago.
The local K. of C. Base Ball team
suffered another defeat last Sunday.
The weekly base ball fray on the
local lot last Sunday, this time, be
tween the local K. of C. team and the
Newport team ended in disaster for
the local boys the visitors carrying the
more joyful end of a 3 to 1 score. The
visitors started off fast, annexing a
score in the first frame on a hit, a
stolen base and an error. Our boys
came back in the second and on a hit,
and a stolen base, the ball was thrown
wild and the runner took third, and
an error scored one. It looked here
like we were going to get two. The
ball was thrown over first by the third,
baseman the runner taking second, he
stole third only to die when the next
batter rolled an easy one to the pitcher,
ihe visitors came back in the eighth
and, after two were down, put over
a tally on a hit batsman, a hit and
another error, fumbling a hot
grounder. In the ninth they put over
another which proved ample to cinch
the game. The game was much better
played than that last week, and the
improvement in the playing and team,
work of our boys was the source of
much favorable comment among the
fans present. The attendance was
very poor, the brand of ball exhibited
was deserving of a larger crowd, es
pecially in this city with the base ball
enthusiasm O’Neill has. There seems
to be a lack of confidence in the
ability of the boys. To the skeptical
it might be well to say, with a few
contemplated changes the managers
have in mind and a little practice
these boys will compare favorably
with any team, without exception, of
amateur class, in this section of the
state. The batteries in Sundays en
gagement were: Lackoff and Jones
for Newport and Watson and Mc
Bride for O’Neill. Ed. Alberts
refereed.
If you havn’t been attending the
ball games played upon the local lots
the past two Sundays, you have been
missing a real treat. Watson, the
twirler for the local K. C. team, true
to the precepts and traditions taught
him by his superior officers, refuses
WORTH WHILE THINGS
Nothing in this world that is worth while
comes easy. That great oak tree has struggled
up from an acorn, through storm and heat.
If you wish to reach greater things, you have
to work for them. It is not going to be
hard for you to begin your account here. Any
sum you happen to have on hand will do for
that. After that you have got to work—and
work hard. You must pile up every dollar you
possibly can here—and leave it here. Do that
and a new life—a greater life—a better life
will open up before you. Make the start
NOW. Keep it up.
When you speak of affairs, exclude in general

■■■
with a persistence that is almost un
canny to issue any free transpor
tation—having issued but one to the
54 that applied, and he avers that he
was not responsible for that breach
of company discipline—but all jokes
aside boys, Watson is a real pitcher,
and one of the best features about his
twirling art is the fact that he does
not think himself the whole show,
but keeps pitching a game that has
been excelled but few times in this
neighborhood — according to our
judgement, and we were rated
as a pretty good judge by the
local lovers of the game a few years
ago. But Watson is a real pitcher
and if the lovers of the game
will get out and support the team
we will have a team that will be
a credit to the lovers of the national
pastime in this section of the state.
It is the humble opinion of the writer—
who heupled manage the best ball
team O’Neill ever had—that Mr. Wat
son is as good a pitcher as Bradley,
the star whom we all picked, and
better than our other two men, Prim
ley and Noah. Mr. Watson has
pitched two games for O’Neill and,
although he has lost both of them,
there has not been an earned runmade
of his delivery in any of the games
that he twirled, which shows his class
as a pitcher. In the game next Sun
day the “Old Reliable Ed Alberts”
will do the backstopping and we feel
perfectly safe in assuring you that
you will see classy battery work in
Sunday’s game. The local boys are
trying their best to furnish the people
of this city amusement in a base ball
way and they should be encouraged by
your attendance.
Inman Leader: Archie Howell, the
sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Dave Howell, was injured today noon,
when he was struck by a gravel train
shortly after the train left the station
going west. Young Howell was work
ing with the section crew, taking his
father’s place for the day, and ac
cording to information at hand, the
boy laid down near the track at the
noon hour and fell asleep. When the
approaching train awoke him he made
a dash across the track, but the
engine hit him before he succeeded in
the attempt. He was knocked into the
ditch and was later picked up by the
train crew in an unconscious condition.
He was placed aboard the train and
hurriedly taken to O’Neill where Dr.
Gilligan, the railroad physician ex
amined him. No bones were broken,
but his body was badly bruised. The
boy did not regain consciousness until
the train reached O’Neill and then he
complained of his back. He was
brought back to Inman on No. 63 and
taken to his home in the northwest
part of town. While his condition is
not considered serious he will be laid
up temporarily as a result of the
accident.
Late Chicago advises indicate the
nomination of Hughes early tomorrow.
