Thomas Donlin came over from his ranch at Fort Randall last Tuesday to spend a few days looking after his affairs here. Mr. Donlin says that it is getting pretty dry in that neighbor hood also, and that they are needing a r,ood soaking rain to put corn in good shape. He says the small grain is the best ever seen in that section of the state. The exclusive hot, dry weather of the past month has greatly damaged the potato crop of this county, which a month ago promised such an abundant yield. Corn is also suffering from the lack of moisture and it must have a good soaking rain within a few days unless irreparable damage will be done. Outside of a few local showers there has been no rain in this county for five weeks. Mr. and Mrs. William Schroeder re turned last Sunday morning from Gill ette, Wyoming, where they went two months ago with a view to locating.

He says it is very dry up in that section, not having had any rain for several weeks and that all pastures are dried up. He will make his future home in O’Neill.

One of the managers of the show informed us at the conclusion of the afternoon performance that they had played to about thirty-five hundred people at the afternoon performance. In the evening they also attracted a good sized crowd so that their bank roll was considerably larger when they left this city. The main circus was good and gave general satisfaction. At the conclusion of the main show they gave a matinee or “concert perform ance” which was a stinger. At this performance Battling Nelson was scheduled to box with his sparring partner, who was classed as the com ing light weight champion of the world. He may be “coming” but from the boxing ability he demonstrated Wednesday afternoon it will take him years to arrive. Inis part of the show was not worth a nickle, let alone the two bits that they taxed the people to witness it. John J. Thomas has filed suit in the district court-against the Chicago and Northwestern railway Company for $500 damages for three head of cattle killed and one injured and m&imed be yond recovery by one of the defend ants trains. In his petition he alleges that on June 14, 1917, the date of the accident, his cattle all broke through the fence of the defendant on the south side of defendant’s right of way, which fence was old and delapidated, unsuit able and insuffcient for preventing cattle from getting on the track and that the defendant carelessly permit ted and maintained the fence in that condition. The cattle were valued at $125 a head, or $500 for the lot. William J. Malloy, residing, south west of Emmett, has filed suit in the district court against the Chicago and Northwestern railway company for $300 for two horses killed on athe de fendants track on May 6th.

Henry Arbahams narrowly escaped death by drowning on last Saturday morning when on fording the Elkhorn river near the old Coffey school house he stepped into a hole. He was rescued by his two companions, Frank and John Dick, who after applying first aid measures brought him to O’Neill where Dr. Giilgan restored him to consciousness. The two Dicks boys and Abrahams started out early Sat urday morning to go fishing and were fishing along the Elkhorn on the south side when they decided they wanted to get over on the north side. In going across Abrahams and John Dick were following Henry but evidently deviated a little from his path and stepped into a hole and sank out of sight. Abra hams could not swim at all and Dick but very little. John Dick managed to get out of the hole some way when Henry Dick called to him that Abra hams was still there and had just sunk again. Henry then held out one of the bamboo fishing poles to John who went back in after Abrahams. After getting into the hole he felt Abrahams with his foot lying on the botton and reaching down grabbed him by the hair and pulled him out. Then after applying first aid measures they brought him to O’Neill where in the evening he regained consciousness. The accident occurred in the morning about ten thirty. Mr. Abrahams is farming the old Henry Brandt place north of the city with Isaac Jensen and moved to this county from York county only last fall. L. C. McKim, of Opportunity, was in the city Wednesday, having brought the little folks in to attend the circus. Walt Barrett, who has been engaged in the barber business at Greeley, Nebr., for the last year, arrived in the city the first of the week for an ex tended visit at home.
