TWO GOOD COMEDIES
O’Neill where he took a farm and
resided until four years ago when
failing health made it necessary for
him to retire from business and he
moved to this. city. After moving to
the south country Mr. Shoemaker
went into the cattle and hay business
very extensively and for years was
one of the .largest stock men in the
county. lie was also a large dealer in
baled hay and was one of the first
men in the county to ship hay out of
the state. For years he had the con
tract for furnislXng the Sioux City
Stock Yards with hay and the quality
of the hay furnished them by Mr.
Shoemaker created a great demand
for the hay product of this county.
When he moved south of this city
there were but very few people living
in that part of the couhty, but he had
great faith in the future of the south
country and as opportunity presented
he kept investing in real estate until
a few years ago he was the owner of
1920 acres of the best ''ay land to be
found in that section and the
great increase in the price of hay
land has proven that his faith in the
future of the south country was not
misplaced.
In the death of Frank Shoemaker
Holt county loses one of its most sub
stantial citizens. He was a man of
unimpeachable integrity, whose word
was as good as his bond. He was well
known throughout the county and no
man had more friends or no one was
more loyal to his friends than Frank
Shoemaker.
The funeral was held from the
Catholic church last Monday morning
at 9 o’clock, services being conducted
by Very Rev. M. F. Cassidy and in
terment was made in Calvary ceme
tery. A large number of old time
friends were present to pay their last
respects to their departed friend.

' O’Neill Was Always On the Map.
Taken from the Chambers Eagle of
; August, 1891: O’Neill breaks the
world's record for wonderful things
which happen. A farmer named
Charles Ozier resides near that town,
and this bit of family history is
vouched for by all who know him: Just
two years ago the 14th of August a
cow belonging to Mr. Ozier gave birth
to four calves, all of which are alive
today. A year ago the 14th of August
his wife gave birth to four babies,
three of which died soon after they
were born, and one of which suc
cumbed to a like fate some months
after. On August 14, 1890, just a
year from the date of the four babies’
birth, Mrs. Ozier gave birth to three
more babies, making seven babies born
to them in just one year. The three
babies also died. And following all
this an old sow belonging to Mr.
Ozier acquires notoriety by becoming
the mother of eighteen pigs. Surely
this is a wonderful family with
wonderful possessions.

FROM OTHER COUNTY PAPERS.
Page Reporter: Glen Davis, ac
companied by Robert Williams, ar
rived here overland last Friday with
ten head of horses from his home
stead near Hamblin, Montana. Five
weeks were required to make the trip
and Mr. Davis says that he lost no
time on the way. The dry season in
Montana has caused a great many
homesteaders to take their stock to
other states where there was more
moisture. Glen formerly lived at
Dorsey but during the past four years
has been holding down his homestead.
Inman Leader: Frank Conard, In
man hotel man and Dr. Perrigo, an eye
specialist from Fremont, were victims
of an automobile accident last Monday
evening on the road home from Cham
bers where Mr. Conard went to bring
the doctor here to fill his dates. The
evening air was pretty cold and as the
driver had no gloves the doctor volun
teered to drive part way and it was
while the doctor was at the wheel that
the accident occurred. The car was
going at a pretty good speed and in
making a turn in the road about three
miles south of town, the car turned
completely over, throwing Mr. Conrad
i mu. i . ■ - „i,,i I
| a distance of several feet and pinning
the doctor under the car. Mr. Conard
was badly shaken up but not hurt and
seeing the condition the Doctor was in
ho hurried to the rescue and lifted up
the side of the car the doctor crawled
out from under the wreck badly
frightened but otherwise all right.
After help was secured the car was
righted again and the trip continued
to town. It was a lucky accident for
both parties. The only damage done
was the breaking of the wind shield.
