Mrs. Hart was for merly a resident of Lincoln and was an acGve member of the Lincoln wo man’s club and the Wesleyan woman’s educational council. Mr. Hart was one of Lincoln’s real estate dealers. They are now located on a ranch near O’Neill. Mrs. Hart’s mothr, Mrs. L. A. Benson, of New Raymer, Colo., met her in Lincoln, and after spending a couple of weeks in the city will go to O’Neill for a part of the winter. An outbreak of hostilities between P. M. Snyder, all the way from Bliz zardville, John Nolan and Con Keys was prevented by the intervention of Chrrles Wrede and William Joyce Monday. The affair was due to a mis understanding. It appears that Sny der has been engaged in cutting cock le burrs on the shares for several friends recently and had accumulated almost enough for his winter supply, stacking them in the rear of Henry Cook’s business block. Mr. Nolan laboring under the impression that they were from his own property in the west part of town, it seems dis posed of them to Mr. Keys, the latter being an entirely innocent purchaser. The affair has been adjusted by Mr. Nolan agreeing to replace Snyder’s cockle burrs from his own sup/ply. The statement of the condition of the Nebraska State Bank of O’Neill at the close of business September 30, appearing elsewhere in this issue, is one it is well for local citizens to read and digest. Showing as it does a healthy growth in business and a cash reserve of practically a third of its deposits of *366,117.29, it is an indica tion of the safe and sound policy of banking pursued by the banking inter ests of O’Neill. O’Neill indeed is for tunate in its banking institutions. During the times of depreciation and deflation their soundness has been un questioned and in fact they have rank ed at the head of all of the banking institutions of the state, both large and small, in this respect. And at the same time there has been money to loan to regular customers legitimately in need of it. Very few cities and towns in the state and nation can report as satisfactory condition. Mrs. Frank O’Conner, sr., and Ed ward O’Connell were called to Chicago Sunday afternoon by receipt of the sad intelligence that their nephew and cousin, Frank O’Connell of that city, had been murdered Saturday by ban dits.

Saturday bandits entered the store and held it up. Mr. O’Connell resisted and attempted to secure posession of the pistol of one of the men. He was shot by another, the bullet entering just below the heart and killing him. The bandits then rifled the cash regis ter, securing several thousand dollars in Currency. A municipal court bai liff passing on the opposite side of the street was attracted by the shooting an 1, noting the direction taken by the bar its in their flight, notified the Maxwell street police station. The man were apprehended within several b'ocks of the scene of the murder with the loot still in their possession. The funeral of Mr. O’Connell was held Tuesday. : Svi^ecr Per Sk. $7.50 / lb. package pepper 35c While Pickling Vinigar, 50c per gallon Seal Brand Coffee, 40c lb. Comb Honey, 25c per pound. J. C.
