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.

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

ton & Quincy railroad to fill a vacancy

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.

ing treatment. The latest word from

proving but not very rapidly.
