VALUABLE PREHISTORIC
RELIC UNEARTHED AT
CITY PUMP HOUSE
A relic undoubtedly of prehistoric
times was unearthed at the city pump
house the day before New Year’s day,
by workmen excavating forthefounda
tions for the new engine now being in
stalled by the city. The relic was, not
is, a gallon jug of oldfashioned drink
ing whiskey and its flavor and smooth
ness, so say the experts, indicated that
it was of extreme age. Surface indi
cations and the formations of several
distinct stratas of soil above the con
tainer bear out the judgment of the
experts. The ancient jug had been
sealed as liquors were sealed years
ago, with a solid cork, around and over
which sealing wax had been poured to
prevent evaporation of the contents of
the jug. It is evident that the jug and
ibs contents were planted by some
early freighter compelled to lighten
his load, or else was concealed by some
bandit participating in one of the
saloon robberies of the days when
O’Neill was a pioneer town and such
robberies are said to have occurred.
It is generally conceded that the indi
vidual who buried the jug is dead or
in the asylum. A guard has been
placed aroundi the pump house to pre
vent additiohal excavations by the
curious.

BROWN COUNTY ATTORNEY I
FLAYED BY DISTRICT JUDGE
_ 1
Cuonty Attorney Cotton of Brown <
county, at a session of the Brown
county district court at Ainsworth 1
Tuesday, received from Presiding i
Judge R. R. Dickson one of the most <
scathing rebukes and verbal castiga- j
tions ever administered to an attorney
in open court by a judge in Nebraska, '■
according to those present who heard
the attorney called to account. The
flaying came in the trial of a divorce
suit in which Cotton appeared as at
torney for the wife and plaintiff. In
the course of the trial Attorney Cot
ton introduced as a witness against
the husband his stepdaughter, child of
the wife by a former husband. i
The stepdaughter, a young woman
of low mentality, aged apparently
about 20 years, bore in her arms a
young infant which she testified was

'ather. Attorney Cotton sought
hrough her testimony to establish one
if the grounds for divorce. Judge
Jickson himself questioned the girl
md at once stopped the divorce hear
ng. He then inquired of Attorney
lotton why he, as county attorney,
mowing of the relations between the
stepfather and stepdaughter had not
instituted proceedings against the
former and instructed that such pro
ceedings at once be instituted. Then
ensued the arraignment of the county
attorney, most scathing, cutting and
vehement.
