The Frontier’s subscription list is growing every day. Hardly a day passes that we do not add one or more names to our large list of interested readers, and we are not giving away any automobiles, diamond rings, pho nographs, gold pieces op trips to Cali fornia to induce people to take The Frontier; some how-or-other they just want it.

This is an increase of $400 over last year. The work of Prof. Suhr has been very satisfactory and the board was well pleased with the progress of the school during the time that he'has been in charge. The Frontier is sending out state ments to those who are in arrears on their subscription. We would be pleased if those who know themselves j to be in arrears would drop into the office or mail us a check. It may be . some time before you receive a state- j ment of your account for the reason that it takes considerable time to send i statements to such a large list, which by-the-way, is growing steadily.

Valentine Republican: Monday morning the case of the State vs. Ralph Mills, charged with taking a fliver without the permission of its owner, Charles Keech, and driving it to Springview, was taken up. The complaining witness on direct exam ination stated that he had not given Mills, who had formerly owned the car, permission to use it, and in fact had forbidden him to use it any more, but on cross-examination he weakened and when asked if he had not given Mills some such general permission, replied that he “didn’t remember.” Judge Westover thereupon directed a verdict for the defendant, who went on his way rejoicing. The boy comes from a good family at O’Neill, has never been in trouble before, and was rooming with Keech at the time the incident occurred, so it is thought that the complaining witness simply lost his head when he found Mills had take the car, and concluded that the latter was not coming back.

Brennan O’Neill, Nebraska HOLT COUNTY MAN ' SUED FOR ALIENATION Asa R. Acton, of Omaha, Nebraska, through his attorney, George M. Har rington, Friday, filed a suit for $25, 000.00 against Jjjuie Honeywell, resid ing near Bliss post office, in this county, for the alienation of his wife’s affections. Acton recites in his petition that he and his wife, Stella, were married in Council Bluffs, Iowa, January 28, 1922, and that they lived happy and con tented until about the 19th day of June of that year. On the last date men tioned the wife departed for the home of her father, George Frank, who re sides near Bliss post office in Holt county. The petition goes on to relate num erous reasons why his claim should be granted; among other things the plain tiff claims infidelity and alleges that the defendant and the wife, Stella,went through a marriage ceremony at Ains worth. The plaintiff avers that the damage resulting from acts of the defendant in the action has caused him great worry and anxiety, and therefore thinks' that $25,000.00 is not an unjust claim. FORMER O’NEILL MAN MADE RAILROAD DIRECTOR The Sioux City Tribune of last Fri day contained the announcement that John McHugh had been elected one of the directors of the Chicago, Burling ton & Quincy railroad to fill a vacancy upon the board. Mr. McHugh was a resident of O’Neill during the ’90s coming here to take charge of the banking business of the O'Neill State bank following the management of “Doc” Mathews who had just severed his connection with the bank. Mr. McHugh went to Sioux City some time during the year 1898 where he engaged in the banking busi ness and rapidly became a leader in banking circles. Eastern capitalists recognized hi9 ability and he was given the position, a number of years ago, of president of the Mechanics and Metals bank of New York City, which posi tion he still holds.
