the Kelso hill four miles east of Bris
tow that evening while on their way
here. They met a car going at a high
rate of speed and turned out of the

grade is deceptive at this point and
tSe car turned over, alighting on its
tap. No one was hurt. The other car
proceeded on its way without pausing
t$ see the result of the accident. This
isfothe same place where a similar ac
cpent was narrowly averted a month

morning with the largest attendance
there has ever been in the public
school for years. The following are

A. L. Sutton, republican candidate
for governor, and Senator W. H. Rey
nolds of Chadron, republican candidate
for state treasurer, were in O’Neill last
Saturday and addressed the voters of
this section at the Pavilion last Sat
urday night. Judge Sutton is not
nearly as effective a public speaker as
we had believed him to be, but he was
attentatively listened to by a large
audience. Judge Sutton was a resi
dent of this county in the early
eighties and was a homesteader in
Brown county. His earnestness in dis
cussing the prohibitory amendment
and other live questions that were be
fore the people for settlement left no
question in the minds of his hearers
but what Judge Sutton would make a
fearless and energetic governor.
Senator Reynolds, the nominee for
state treasurer, is a pionee, set
tlers of Daws county and served the
people of that county as county treas
urer for four years and has served
three terms in the state senate. He is
one of the strong men of western Ne
braska and will make an efficient and
painstaking state treasurer.

When Auto Upsets.
Columbus, Neb., Sept. 6.—(Special
Telegram.)—August C. Schrier _ of

his neck broke this afternoon, one and
a half miles northwest of Columbus,
when his automobile upset. Delbert
Fauquier, who was riding in the rear
seat, received a fractured collar bone.
Elmer Gibson and another man re

There were three cars in the party.
They had left Chambers early this

Lincoln and were expected to reach
that city tonight. The Schrier car
was going at the rate of eighteen miles
an hour when it struck an obstacle in
the road and Schrier lost control of
his machine. The body will be taken
to O’Neill tomorow and then overland
to Chambers. Mr. Schrier leaves a
wife, but no children. He was a very
prosperous farmer.
The remains were shipped to this
city on Wednesday night and on Thurs

the old family home in Missouri where
the body will be interred. Mr. Schrier
was one of the most prominent farm
ers and stockmen in the southern part
of this county and his tragic death has
cast a cloud of gloom over the entire
south country. His bereaved wife and
other relatives have the heartfelt sym
pathy of the people of the entire
county in their hour of sorrow.

Paddock, one of the pioneer settlers
of this county, was united in marriage
in this city last Tuesday afternoon to
Miss Edna Bedford, youngest daughter
of William H. Bedford, Rev. Longstaff
of the Presbyterian church officiating.
It was a quiet home wedding and
was attended only by a few of the im
mediate relatives and friends of the
contracting parties. Shortly after the
ceremony the young couple left for
Valentine, from which place they will
drive to the ranch home of the groom,
near Cedar Butte, S. D. The young
couple were the recipients of many
useful and costly presents.
This young couple, both members of

county, enter the journey of life to
gether under the most favorable aus

the Catholic church at Albia, Iowa, on
August 28, 1916, when Neil P. Bren
inan of this city was united in mar
riage to Miss Lucile Garretson, of
Albia, Iowa, Rev. Father Walsh per
forming the ceremony.
The .groom is the son of Mrs. Neil
Brennan of this city and is one of
O’Neill’s most promising young busi
ness men. He was born and reared in
this city and is recognized as one of
the most exemplarly young men of
this county and one who is bound to
make a high mark for himself in the
business world.
The bride is no stranger to O’Neill
as she lived here for nearly two years,
having been the very efficient steno
grapher in the office of Attorney E. H.
Whelan. She is a very charming little
lady who, by her winsome ways and
ladylike demeanor won friends by the
score, and they all join with us in ex
tending congratulations and good
wishes.
The happy young couple returned
home last Thursday evening and will
be at home to their many friends in
this city after September 16th. The
Frontier tenders its sincerest con
gratulations to this happy young
couple and hopes that their pathway
through life will always be lined with
roses.
