Ed O’Donnell is the latest addition
to membership of the Hole-In-One
Club. He qualified on No. 4, 103
yards, Tuesday afternoon, and gets a
dozen golf balls and a steel shaft
Bristol club for the play. The
O’Neill Country Club probably has
the largest membership in the
famous Hole-In-One aggregation of
any golf club in the country, having
four. They are J. A. Donohoe,
Charles Stout, Ted Cooper and Mr.
O’Donnell.
The potato crop this year is one
of the largest for many years. Re
ports come from the potato fields in
the western counties that many of
the fields will not be dug on account
of the low prices that they are bring
ing on the market. The high freight
rates will make the shipping of po
tatoes prohibitive to any great ex
tent. The local crops of tubers in
Holt county is extra large, and with
a little outside assistance the de
mands of the county can be cared for
without any trouble.
John Carton returned Tuesday
evening from Lincoln where he hail
gone the previous Friday to attend

ceded her husband in death just four

among the early cettlers of this vicin
ity, coming here in the early 80’s,
and made their home for many years.
Mr. Sullivan was associated with Jim
Weekes in the hog buying business
for many years. Mr. Sullivan has
been in the transfer business in Lin
coln for the past twenty years.
Work is progressing nicely on the
new I. O. O. F. lodge rooms and the
rooms will be ready for occupancy
early in October is the prediction of
the building committee. The entire
building is 24x80 feet. The lodge
room will be 24x48 feet; there are
three large lockers; a large reception
and ante-room, hallways and a club
room 12x24 feet across the front of
the building. The ceiling of the en
tire building will be steel. The lodge
room will contain (two large fans;
nine windows are located on three
sides of the room which insures good
ventilation. The building will be
heated, presumably by a steam fur
nace. The entire cost of the building
complete with the new furniture that
is now ordered and some that will
be ordered soon will amount to about
$6,000.
The hunting season on ducks and
geese opened Saturday morning.
These game birds are very scarce in
this part of the county and those who
v)|ere hunting in this Vicinity had
poor luck. There seems to be a
scarcity of ducks over in the lake
districts of the southern and south
western part of the county where in
former years they were plentiful.
The territory in the vicinity of Cham
bers and in several localities in the
southern part of the county, is ‘posted
against hunters mostly because of
the pot hunters who migrate from the
eastern part of the state about the
time the season opens, and kill otf
the ducks and chickens. These hunt
ers kill more game than they can care
for. The farmers of the south coun
try are considerably “worked up”
over the treatment given them by
hunters who seem to care but little
for the damage they do to the country
by carelessly starting prairie fires
which did untold damage to them last
year. The foreign hunters are caus
ing the local sports considerable
trouble and there seems to be no way
to remedy the difficulty exedpt strin
gent action on the part of the people
affected.
United States Marshal D. II.
Cronin acompanied by George Key
ser, deputy district attorney, of
Omaha, stopped in O’Neill between
trains last Friday on their way from
Chadron, where they had been at
tending federal court.
