O’Neill Trims Randolph.
Manager Pat Harty took his base
ball team to Randolph last Sunday and
they crossed bats with the aggregation
that afternoon. Randolph is recog
nized as having one of the fastest
teams in northeastern Nebraska and
the locals expected to be defeated and
their most ardent champions hoped
only that they would hold them to a
close score. O’Neill played ball upon
that day and they succeeded in not
only holding Randolph but defeating
them, with a score of three to one,
Disinterested parties who witnessed
the game say that O’Neill was entitled
to win; that Watson pitched big league
ball upon that occasion. The fact that
but thre« balls went to the outfield

O'Neill who sells Heinze Vinegar in
bulk and it is the same price as they
sell the cheap stuff. Yes, Heinge’s
name is on the vinegar.
A good many people don’t use much
coffee, but when they do use coffee
they want good coffee or none. Very
few peeople realize that John Brennan
sells Honeymoon Coffee, Barrington
Hall Coffee, Three Star Coffee and
Farmhouse Coffee. But when they
find it out John Brennan will sell the
coffee to the people who want good
coffee.

If I was buying flour I would buy it
from the credit stores because I could
charge it. Go to the cash store and
get the prices and if the credit stores
sold it to you at the same price I
would buy from them and charge it.
Looks as if flour was going up.
People who read the ads in the
newspapers two weeks ago has some
idea of the way the other stores in
O’Neill have been talking about my
store for the last year. What Bazel
man said is nothing to what the others
said, but they are foxy. They do not
put it in newspapers. Was it any
wonder I worsted them.
Some fellow down at Orchard says
I don’t know straight up about Politics
I know this much. When I see a good

would indicate that Watson was
pitching some. The Frontier has
maintained for months that Watson
was a pitcher and capable of delivering
the goods, but if you want a man to
pitch a good ball game the rest of the
team has to give him support. His
game at Randolph last Sunday was
one of the best that he has pitched for
the O’Neill team; he was against the
fastest ball team that he has opposed
this season and he pitched a game that
makes him respected as one of the best
ametuer base ball pitchers in this
section of the state. He was not
strong on strike outs, but the fact that
he made Randolph’s star batter, George
Courtney, who is also their star
pitcher, whif the ozone twice in a vain
effort to connect with the ball is suffi
cient evidence to us that Watson was
playing some ball, for Courtney is
some sticker. If O’Neill never wins
another game the fact that they won
this game from Randolph is sufficient
glory for one season. Following is the

Can there be any stronger proof of
fered than the evidence of O’Neill resi
dents ? After you have read the
following, quietly answer the question.
Mrs. A. J. Mohr, O’Neill, says: “I
had weak kidneys for years and
gradually became worse until I was
completely discouraged. For fifteen
years, I suffered from pain in my back
and sides. I was restless at night and
every day it seemed impossible to go
through the day’s work. As soon as I
lifted the least thing or when I got up
from a chair, a pain caught me in my
back. I happened to read of a case of
a person who had been helped so won
derfully by Doan’s Kidney Pills, that I
sent for some at Gilligan & Stout’s
Drug Store. I had taken but a few
doses when I began to feel better. 1
kept on using them as directed and I
rapidly gained in health and strength
until I was free from the trouble. It
has been over a year now since I have
had any need of this medicine.”

the same Cornell that was afterwards
banker and state senator at Valentine,
and I believe is yet living and taking
a prominent part in business and
politics.
Lieut. Cherry, it will be recalled,
was a year or two later killed by a
private soldier who was crazy drunk.
This was a lamentable affair, and
Cherry was in no way to blame. When
the county was organized, his memory
was honored by having it named after
him.
But about the deer hunt. Lieut.
Cherry and I started out on horse
back early one monring. The weather
was a little cold but with all, quite
pleasant, and taking the comparatively
level table-land, lying between the
Niobrara River and Minnecadusa
Creek, we rode up towards where later
the town of Valentine was located, to
a locality where the Lieutenant said he
had killed several deer. It was along
about 11 o’clock that we saw a big
buck on a point near the brakes of the
river. In getting off our horses,
the Lieutenant stumbled and fell, hurt
ing his ankle so badly that he could
not walk without suffering great pain.
We found a good place to camp on the
second river bottom, where we built a
fire and had our lunch. The Lieuten
ant suggested that I might get a crack
at that buck, but that I had better go
on foot. Accordingly, I left my horse,
overcoat and overshoes, and started up
the river. I took the rough lands, go
ing down one canyon and up another.
I sighted deer several times, made
several shots, but so far as I know,
did not make a hit. I was so much
interested, however, that time passed
very rapidly, and it was nearly sun
down when I realized that I had better
hike back to camp. The Lieutenant
had cautioned me when I started out
that I must be very careful not'to get
lost and he laughingly said that all the
sand hills looked alike to a fellow when
he became bewildered. I could not fol
low the banks of the river because it
was altogether too rough, and so took
the table-land, thinking I could detect
the smoke of the fire and easily find
camp. I kept going and going in what
I supposed was the right direction,
then thinking I had passed the camp,
turned and went back the other way.
I wandered around this way until dark,
and was about to give up finding the
camp when in looking over a ledge I
saw the burning coals of what was
left of a camp fire. I went to it. I
was our camp all right, but there was
no Lieutenant, no horse, no overshoes,
no overcoat. I replenished the fire and
debated as to what to do. I confess
that I was considerably frightened,
and when the coyotes began howling
around my fire, Little Willie Boy was
about ready to give up the ghost.
When a coyote would gpt too close, I
would fire at him, and know that I
killed at leeast two. What I should
have done was to stay right there until
help came, but it became so awfully
cold that I decided to make an effort to
reach the Fort. I figured that I was
about eight miles away. I had sense
enough to know that I could not follow
the river, and must get up on the
table-land, and I took the moon for my
guide. By not allowing for the change
of the moon’s position in its orbit, I
landed over to the left m the brakes ot
the Minnecadusa. Getting back on the
table land I made pretty good time
and fortunately kept in the right di
rection. Finally, I saw away on ahead
of me the flashes of gun fire, and pull
ing up my seal skin cap, which I had
kept down over my ears for protection,
I could hear the reports. I fired my
old gun several times. It was a fact
that the Indians had committed a good
many depredations and had even killed
several people recently, and I was not
sure but that it was the Indians doing
this shooting. I felt I might as well
be killed by the Indians as to be frozen
to death so I kept on toward the
flashes where the guns were fired. Fi
nally I could see a number of men on
horseback, as they came out of the
prairie that was lower that that where
I was, and you can bet I turned my old
Betsy loose with great rapidity. The
men came towards me and we soon
met. The party was composed of
Lieut. Cherry and about one half
dozen soldiers. It was about the hap
piest moment in my life.^for I was
certainly in a dangerous position, more
of course, from the cold than any
thing else. I had had nothing to eat
nor drink since "noon and when Lieu
tenant pulled out a long, black bottle
and handed it to me, I took about as
big a drink of whiskey as I ever took
in my life. I got up on the back of
Lieut. Cherry’s horse and we soon
reached the post. I said then that 1
thought I never would get lost again,
but I did when on the trip to the Black
Hills, as referred to in my second
letter.
This was indeed a hard “pleasure”
trip for a tenderfoot like the young
editor, but it was an experience that
really did him good, even if he did not
profit very much by it.
Somebody at the Fort referred to
my getting lost in a correspondence in
my opponent’s paper, The Holt County
Record, and the only reply made in my
paper “The Frontier” was a little dog
geral verse, originated by -my good
friend Sanford Parker, as follows:
“It is better to be lost on the wild
prairie of the west,
Than politically lost with no haven
of rest.”
This being written just after the
election, the above verse was of course
very apropos.
The continued storms and extreme
cold weather that prevailed during the
