The match was to have been a ten round bout, but lasted only four, Sheri dan put Rector down in the third and finished the contest in the fourth. Chet Calkins, of O’Neill, was given the decision in the six-round semi final over Pete Dietrich, of Atkinson. Dietrich had the best of the first three rounds, but was groggy in the last two. EMMET LOSES BUILDINGS IN SATURDAY NIGHT FIRE Fire destroyed the Methodistchurch, and parsonage that stood colse by also the large hay barn of the Emmet Hay Co., which was immediately across the road north of the parson age, and the J. J. Shorthill barn lo cated in the northwest part of Emmei, last Saturday night about two o’clock. The wind was blowing a gale from the southeast and the buildings were soon consumed after the fire was dis covered. A call for help was sent to Atkinson and O’Neill and each town sent large delegations to assist in controlling the fire that for a time threatened to wipe out the entire village. The town has no water supply and must depend solely upon the bucket brigade which is entirely inadequate to cope with the fire under such conditions. The fire was discovered, seemingly, under the Methodist church and spread so rapidly that the minister and family barely escaped from the parsonage with their fives; nothing was saved from the residence. The Emmet Hay Co., hay barn con tained about 600 tons of hay; but 'we understand that the Shorthill barn was empty. The buildings and property destroy ed were partially covered by insur ance. The fire is thought to have been of incendiary origin. Subscribe for The Frontier and keep posted upon the affairs of this great courty of ours. ————W WillWII111 A NEW SWINDLE GAME. The brains of the .swindler is ever fertile, says an exchange. We are told of a slick game they are working down in Iowa. A prosperous looking gentle man calls at a farm house on pretex or other and claims to have lost the diamond setting out of his ring some where around the yard. He states that the stons is wor*h $500 to him and offers that reward for its return. After* leaving his address he takes his departure. A few days later along comes a tramp and getting confidential he tells the man of the place that he has found a diamond down near the gate. In proof of his story he exhibits his stone. To make a long story short he finally sells it to the owner of the premises for $300 and the man con gratulates himself on having made $200 on the deal. He writes to the loser of the stone, but of course gets no reply. In return for his $300 he has a worthless imitation on his hands. Can vou beat it?—White Rock Journal. RESEARCH CLUB.

A number of the tax-payers of the county met at the court house in O’Neill last Tuesday afternoon. After several talks by different tax-payers the business meeting was opened. The articles of the constitution and by laws were read and adopted. . ' .... ■ f I 7 he above map shows the territory swept by the sleet storm on April / Oth $950,000 of Telephone Properly j Lost in a Night f of f. The chilly afternoon of April 10th a light rain began to fall over a strip nearly a hundred miles wide, from south western Minnesota to southwestern Nebraska. As evening came on the rain began to freeze as it fell ; *n the telephone wires. Before midnight the wires in many I places were coated with ice nearly an inch thick. Under the weight of the ice, and whipped by a rising wind, mile 1 after mile of telephone poles and wires swayed back and forth, and then crashed to the ground. A survey of this company’s damage from the storm shows the following result: | 26,944 miles of wire out of service 21,200 poles broken down or destroyed 71 exchanges in the storm area i $950,000 property loss Nearly all of the long distance lines damaged by the storm have been restored by more than 1,200 telephone repair men who have been on the job constantly since the storm. And in those cases where the local lines were damaged, the repair work is going forward as rapidly as it is possible to do so. *t 1S a man s size job to reset more than 20,000 poles, to re-attach the crossarms and wires to them, and to re-es- r tablish communication over telephone wires that if extended f? in a single line would reach more than around the world. We take this opportunity to thank our customers for the splendid spirit of co-operation with which you have accepted the unavoidable interruption of tele | phone service, and we want to assure you that we have • been doing everything possible to hurry the reopening of communication. j Northwestern Bell Telephone Company " Mill ,■,_J LOCAL MATTERS. A fire in a pile of rubbish on a ma nure spreader at the rear of the Jack Taggert residence in the west part of town caused the fire department to make a run about one o’clock last Sunday morning. No damage was done. The McMillian & Markey bakery have finished their basement and have installed an inside stairway. The lower room will be used as a grill room.' (Jerald Miles and family arrived here from Fremont .last Saturday evening and will make their home here in the future. (Jerald will be interested with his father in the pub lication of the Independent. A young fellow by the name of Milligan figured in an auto accident east of Clearwater last Sunday night. Evidently the car was going at a high rate of speed when it left the grade and turned over in the ditch. One of our informants pictures a party of four who occupied the car while an other speaks only in the singular. It seems that after the car turned over and it was discovered that no one was hurt, the occupants walked to Clear water. In the meantime someone see ing the car in the ditch lighted a match to ascertain if anyone was under the car when the gasoline ignited and the car was burned. The car contained a Holt county number.

(Atkinson Graphic) Twenty-two guests were invited to a Bluebird luncheon and kensington at the home of Miss Clarice Argan- . bright Sturday, April T5th. Miss Emma Prince, a school friend and week end visitor, was one of the nun. ■ her. The most interesting feature' of this very pleasant event was the announce ment of the coming marriage of the hostess to Mr. Glen Ingram of Rear- ■ ney, Nebraska, sometime in June. The announcement was made in a parody of the rhyme “Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie” but these were blue birds arranged with heads sticking out of a big “pie” that formed the tfflrd course of the luncheon. The bluebird scheme was carried out in the decorations and place cards and on the tables daffodils and nests of Easter eggs were used as center pieces. Both principals in the wedding an nouncement are well known in this community where Miss Arganbright has lived most of her life. Mr. In gram’s home was here for a number of years, the family moving to Hastings to secure edivational advantages. The congratulations and best wishes of the company were manifested and sincere and will be re-echoed by a host of other friends. SPRING VALLEY. DeWit Page passed through this vicinity on his way to Creighton to join his wife. They are on their way to their western home after a vacation spent with his wife’s folks in Penn sylvania. Mrs.P. G. Summers was recently called to South Dakota, to attend the funeral of her sister, Eva, who died in the hospital at Chamberlain, where she had undergone a very serious operation. Pay your taxes is all the cry now. j It seems to me that there has been ' considerable money spent foolishly on 1 the grade east of O’Neill, as well as on other roads in the county. Better 5 do a little work well than do a lot of t it and leave the roads practically im passible. ' Mrs. Oscar Leisy, of Valentine, is ( visiting with Mrs. Stauffer. They used to live on the Blaine place near j Middlebranch. She was on her way ( to the funeral of her sister, but on account of the train connections at , Long Pine she was unable to reach her 1 destination in time for the funeral, so remained here for a visit.
