The elections were called for the pur
pose of finding out whether or not the
different towns cared to. furnish the
money to equip a local electric light
plant and then install a transmission
line to the next town and allow the
Tri-State Utilities Co. to operate the
system. The Tri-State agreeing to
put 20 per cent of the gross receipts
into a fund to retire the bonds. The

O'Neill city council but they prompt
ly turned it down.
The large barn and granary on the
George Hansen, Jr., farm, one mile
east of the Marquet church at Meek,
was dest royed by fire about noon Sat
urday. The fire originated in the
barn and had gained considerable
headway before it was discovered. A
light breeze was blowing from the
southeast driving the heat and sparks
toward the granary which soon caught
cn fire and was totally destroyed. The
residence was also in line with the
fire; the timely arrival of the
neighbors, however, is perhaps re
sponsible for the saving of the house.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Mr. Hansen had no horses in the bam
for several days prior to the fire, and
had not been around the barn. The
granary contained considerable small
grain. A small amount of insurance
was carried on one of the buildings.

MISS BEATRICE FORD
SHOT IN THE BACK
A poorly displayed license number
on the front of the car and the simi
larity of cars caused Sheriff Peter W.
Duffy to fire several shots at the tires
and gas tank of a Cadillac touring
car that refused to halt at his com
mand Saturday night, one bullet pene
trating the rear of the car and strik
ing Miss Beatrice Ford of Sioux City,
in the back. In passing through the
ear the bullet was broken somewhat,
apparently only pieces of the steel „
jacket entering her back. She was
brought to town where Dr. Finley
made an examination and was then
taken to a hospital in Sioux City on
the early train Sunday morning over
the Chicago & North Western.
In the car with Miss Ford was Miss
Thressa Harrington, Miss Eva Har
mon and three gentlemen friends, of
Norfolk.
The accident occurred on the road
near the cemetery shortly after two
o’clock early Sunday morning. Miss
Ford arrived in O’Neill over the*Bur
lington about midnight Saturday
night and was met by several young
lady and gentlemen friends who went
for a ride over the O’Neill-Spencer
Highway.
Sheriff Duffy received word that
evening that a Buick car with bump
ers and bearing a Brown county
number (75) had been taken from the
streets at Ainsworth and was headed
toward O’Neill so he located at the
cemetery corner with a rifle for the
purpose of stopping the stolen car
providing it came his way. In the
dark it was difficult to detect the
difference in the appearance of the
Cadillac and the Buick wanted. 'Hie
Cadillac carried a Madison number
plate (7).
Late word from Miss Ford is
to the effect that she is not seriously
injured.
Miss Ford is the daughter of Mike
Ford, engineer on the Burlington
freight, and with her mother and
brother, had come to O’Neill to spend
Sunday with him.
