The body will be taken to Omaha on the early train Friday morning for interment, and funeral services will be held at St. Mary Mag deline’s church in Omaha, Friday. Deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Naughton pioneer resi dents of this county. He was a native, born on August 18, 1884, and spent most of his life in this county, except a few years in California. He has been afflicted with heart trouble for several years and the affliction kept sapping his vitality and for the past month he had been confined to his bed. He was a quiet, unasuming young man and had many friends in this vicinity who will regret to learn of his death. The Frontier joins the many friends of the family in tendering condolences in their hour of sorrow. Holt County Raises $4,103.00 For Y. M. C. A. Fund. The quota for Holt County during the recent campaign for Y. M. C. A. funds was $2,500.00. The committees everywhere from the different towns met with.good success. The most difficult work was to see those living in the country and the several committees are entitled to great credit for the work they did in this direction. It was only a matter of being able to see people in the county, however, to get their sub scription^. At one sale in the north eastern part of the county one com mittee from O’Neill obtained $130.00 in a very short time, in fact, it kept them busy putting down the sub scriptions and taking the money. About $125.00 was subscribed from the Blackbird neighborhood, $72.00 of this being raised in a few minutes at Sunday School at Marquette Chapel. ________ Other commttees were equally suc cessful wherever they went but we do i not have the exact figures. At Inman they raised over $300.00 and more than their quota in one day. All the districts of the county more than sub scribed their quota, with the exception of Emmet and Page, at which places they were late in getting started or their amounts would have been over subscribed the same as other places, for it was just a lack of being able to see the people in the short time that they had to work. The amounts raised in the various districts of the county are as follows: Stuart . $452.00 Atkinson . 965.25 Emmet . 115.75 Inman . 355.25 Ewing . 422.00 Page . 218.75 Chambers . 258.00 O’Neill . 1,316.00 Total . $4,103.00 MORE LOCAL MATTERS. H. J. Birmingham, who has been at tending the officers training camp at Fort Snelling the past three months, was given a second lieutenant’s com mission in the officers reserve. He will probably be called to the colors as soon as the next draft army is mobilized. John H. Hopkins, formerly of this city, won a first lietttenant’s commission at the same camp. He will probably be assigned to duty at once. O’Neill boys always make good when put to the test. The O’Neill foot ball team went to Neligh last Friday and returned the same night defeated by a score of 27 to 0. The O’Neill team has not hit its stride so far this year, but they are recruiting a few men to play with them next Thursday, when they meet the Venus warriors on , the home Gridiron. This will be a good game and the people should encourage the team with their presence on the grounds Thanksgiving afternoon. E. O. Root and daughter, of Oxford Junction, Iowa, were in the city last week visiting old time friends. Mr. Root was, for a number of years, a resident of this county living near In man, but moved to Iowa some six years ago. He was visiting his sister, Mrs. Bradley, who lives near Inman. Gerald Miles, eldest son of G. A. Miles of the Holt County Independent, has been appointed a deputy revenue collector for this district. The war tax has greatly increased the work of the revenue collector’s office and he was compelled to get more deputies to perform the work. Gerald is an energetic young fellow and will make good in the position. The Frontier tenders congratulations. A couple of weeks ago the old Hodgkin ranch, twelve miles north and six miles east of this city, was sold to James Blair, of Wayne, Neb., the deal having been closed last week. The ranch contains 1680 acres and is one of the best improved ranches in the county. The price paid was $42,000.00, or $25 per acre. Hiram Hodgkin, father of W. K. Hodgkin, settled on the Red Bird in 1879, where he lived up to the time of his death several years ago. His original home stead is part of the ranch property and is one of the best farms in that section of the county. Mr. Blair will take charge of the property next March and it will be occupied by his son. Ernest Beaver is now living on the place but he has not decided what he will do in the future, but he will probably purchase a farm in north eastern Holt, where he has resided for so many years.
