O’Neill enjoyed the presence of a distinguished visitor, Col. John O’Keefe of St. Louis, the last, week end. Col.

The two came up the railroad to the then end of the line, Wisner, from where they rode on up on horses. Col. O’Keefe, an officer of the United States regular army and a noted In dian fighter, was a civil war comrade of the general and an officer on his staff and an actual participant with him in the Fenian invasion of Canada, being present at the battle of Ridge way. He is noted as a lecturer and a worker in the cause of Irish Free dom, is a famous soldier, a scholar and a gentleman whose career of ad venture, romance and thrills could not be surpassed in fiction. Col. O’Keefe insists that O’Neill is the proper and historical location for a monument to I the Gallant General O’Neill and is urg ! mg and offers to assist in financing j the undertaking. VOCOK TO MEET HERRICK EIGHTEENTH Verdigrc Fighting Bohemian and Jack Herrick. Omaha Wonder To Mix it Here Week From Next Friday. North Nebraska lovers of the red blooded sport are going to see one of the greatest battles ever staged in the state at the K.C. theater, Friday night, November 18. On that fateful evening Jerry Vocok, the fighting Bohemian from Verdigre, is going to attempt to mop up the earth with Jack Herrick, the noted Omaha pugilist, which Her rick’s friends declare cannot be done. Herrick is a brother of Joe Herrick, who recently fought Mike Gibbon in Omaha, and is a much better man than his brother, Joe. There is not more than two and one-half pounds differ ence between Vocok and Herrick, with Vocok the heavier. The battle already has attracted wide spread attention in sporting cir cles and a large contingent is coming up from Omaha to see just what Vo cok, the new fighting wonder, has that enables him to dispose of masters of the ring so easily. Jack Sullivan ar rived Thursday morning from Mon tana to study the Bohemian, both in training and action, and if Vocok can deliver the goods as he has in his last three or four goes this will probably be the last chance that fight fans of this section of the country will have of seeing him in action for some time. SulHvan proposes, if Vocok continues to show the stuff he now has, to take him on a tour of the Pacific coast. The fight will be the evening section of a program of exciting sport for Friday, November 18. The entire population of Knox county is coming over Friday morning to watch the O’Neill high school clean up the Ver digre team in their annual scrimmage and all propose to stay over to see the Knox county farmer clean up Herrick. The day and evening will present a card that no true lover of athletics in their most energetic forms can afford to miss. WESLEY T. EVANS. Wesley T. Evans, proprietor of the Hotel Golden one of the best loved and esteemed citizens of O’Neill and Holt county, died this, Thursday evening, at his apartments in the Hotel Golden, after an illness of several weeks dura tion which had been preceded by sev eral years of poor and failing health. There probably is not a citiizen of northern Nebraska more generally known and liked than was Wes Evans, and none who will be more missed. He is survived by his wife and two children, the son, Ralph, and daughter, Mrs. Ruth Rodes. A more extended account of the life of Mr. Evans will appear next week. The funeral will be Tuesday morn ing, from the Presbyterian church, the Reverend George Longstaff officia ting. MARY MORRISON. Mary Morrison, widow of Phillip Morrison, died at her residence in this city Tuesday morning. She had been in poor health for some time and her death was not unexpected.

The funeral was held Thursday morning from St. Pat rick’s church, the Reverend M. F. Cassidy officiating. Burial was in Calvary cemetery.
