A shoe clerk as a referee, who al
lowed his opponent to kick him around
the ring freely, was responsible for
the defeat of Jack Ivy in his ten round
boxing contest with Jerry Vokoc of
Verdigris, is the alibi that Mr. Ivy
put up to City Commissioner John
Hopkins on his return to Omaha,
from this city fair week. It is readily
understood by those who witnessed
the mill that Mr. Ivy in his dazed con
dition after he had stopped a couple
of Mr. Vokoc’s swings might have
mistaken them for kicks. An op
ponent of Mr. Vokoc on a previous oc
casion over in Knox county accused
the referee of permitting the Bohe
mian to hit him with a stake maul.
Citizens and taxpayers anxious to
keep in touch with the city’s develop
ment should visit the city pumping
station where extensive improvements
quietly are being made. The interior
has been re-arranged and dressed up
with a new coat of paint, the new
pump so set as to enable easy access
to all its parts, the old pump con
nected up for emergency purposes and
a scheme of general arrangement car
ried out to permit of future enlarge
ment and an installation of a city
lighting plant at minimum outlay.
The extension of the watermains in
the south and west part of the city is
progressing rapidly. When the work
is completed the city will have one of
the most complete and efficient Vrater
systems of any of the smaller cities of
the state.
Violators of the liquor laws in Holt
county this week were confronted
with a federal penalty new at least in
this community. Tuesday the internal
revenue department filed a federal tax
lien on the property of George Jan
acek of Atkinson, for the sum of
$533.86, the filing of the lien being
made with the clerk of the district
court and the county clerk. The
notice of lien stales that it is an “ad
ditional penalty tax assessed’’ as a
retail loquor dealer tax for five months
of 1921. The section of the federal
statute quoted in making the filing
says that the lien must be entered
greatly improved the team. Four of
these players were placed in the line
and made it as strong as a stone wall.
Long Pine smashed the O’Neill line
time and time again but without suc
cess. Joe Saunto, the powerful guard
of O’Neill eleven, weighing 189 pounds,
is beyond resistannce. He has never been
known to let his man through. Fred
Warner the star half of the team, has
made 100 yards in 10 Vs seconds and
tore the full length of the field for a
touchdown in the last game. Ralph
Mellor also shdws up well for his
speed and cleverness at end. George
Stannard holds down the other end in
fine shape. Joe Beha, O’Neill’s full
back has never been known to fail to
boot the pigskin into the other team’s
territory when his team needed his
assistance.
Owen McPharlin is the best quarter
that the O’Neill team has found in
several years.
Archie Faulhaber is always called
on to smash the line for first downs.
Ben Gilligan, O’Neill’s rangy center,
holds down his position well.
Leslie Uhl, Don Enright, Quinten
Aaburg and Murle Hatch played ex
ceptional good game on the line.
O’Neill plays Bloomfield on the local
gridiron October 21st.
SILVER WEDDING.

sion their relatives who live here and
at Atkinson, appeared at their home—

prise to Mr. and Mrs. Schneider al
though their daughter, Miss Catherine
was in the “know.”
Dancing served to entertain those
present until a late hour.

presented by the guests, also a num
ber of other presents, to commemo

COLUMBUS DAY OBSERVANCE!.
A large audience at the K. C. hall
Wednesday evening, gathered for the
observance of Columbus Day, were
privileged to listen to a program,
given under the auspices of the
Knights of Columbus, of vocal and in
strumental music and oratory single
features off which were of a quality
lovers of these things at times have
crossed the continent to hear. It in
cluded a number and encore by Miss
Ellen Clare Donovan of St. Paul,
Minn., who is the guest of her sister,
Mrs. W. F. Finley, a vocalist whose
voice already has attracted interna
tional attention and who maestros de
clare is this country’s greatest young
soprano; a violin and piano recitation
by Mr. and Mrs. Clifford B. Scott,
artists recognized as the equals of
any; a solo by Miss Mary Fitzsim
mons whose beautiful voice would as
sure her an operatic career did she
but care to embrace it; a reading by
Miss Mary Witherow whose talent as
an elocutionist and reader is its own
commendation; and an address on the
life of Christopher Columbus, by Mr.
Frank Harrington, which was an edu
cation on the career of the great dis
coverer who is treated of all too
brieflly and most inaccurately by his
torians. Mr. Harrington is a master
of language and diction and is poss
essed of that pleasing quality of ex
pressing himself in simple words
which is the secret of true oratory.
J. P. Golden presided as chairman
of the evening entertainment, which
was followed by a dance. Supper was
served by the Catholic ladies previous
to and during the dance.
