HOMER SHERIDAN WINS
FROM ROY RECTOR
Those who attended the boxing
match at the opera house last Friday
evening between Homer Sheridan, of
Sioux City, and Roy Rector, of Colum
bus, were treated to four rounds of
real scientific boxing. Both men were
about the same weight, and height,
and both real boxers.
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.

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.

St. Patrick’s choir sang the Regina
Coeli after which Miss Julia Fitzsim

of a bishop and continued from last
month the discussion on the different
kinds of Masses. Miss Anna Donohoe
conducted the lesson in the Civics
Catechism, and on the duty of the
Government to its citizens and in turn
the duty of the citizen to the Govern
ment. The program was concluded by
community singing of America.
The date for the May program will

$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

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.

ANNOUNCEMENT PARTY.
(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.

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. I
