BRITTELL-DUFFY SHERIFF
CONTROVERSY ENDED
Title of Sheriff Peter W. Duffy to the
office of sheriff of Holt county for the
ensuing four years was confirmed by
Judge Anson A. Welch, of Wayne, in
district court here Tuesday morning,
when the hearing of the contest pro
ceedings instituted by Robert Brittell,
the Republican nominee came to a
dose with the completion of the re
counting of the ballots cast at the
election last fall.
The results of the official canvas of
the election returns last fall showed
Sheriff Duffy the Democratic nominee,
to have been elected by a margin of
seven votes. Brittell, through his at
torney, A. 0. Williams of Williams &
Kryger, of Neligh, filed contest pro
ceedings in the county court shortly
after the completion of the canvas,
asking for a recount and alleging er
ror in practically every one of the
forty-one election precincts of' the
county.
•A special appearance was made by
Sheriff Duffy, through his attorney,
Judge J. J. Harrington, of O’Neill, in
January, questioning the sufficiency of
the petition and the legality of the
service, which had been made on Duffy
as sheriff instead of as an individual.
County Judge C. J. Malone sustained
the special appearance and dismissed
the action. Brittell then went to the
district court alleging error and Judge
Robert R. Dickson as presiding jhdge
of the Fifteenth judicial district, called
in Judge Welch of the Ninth district
to hear the case. Monday Judge
Welch sustained the contention of
Brittell, took jurisdiction of the case
and ordered the recount of ballots as
prayed for to proceed. (Opening of the
sacks and recepticles containing the
ballots, in district court disclosed that
in all but thirteen of the forty-one pre
cincts of the county the precinct
election officials had neglected to fol
low the letter of the law in properly
sealing the official ballots or that the
fastenings and sealings had become
broken or destroyed so that the ballots
could not be admitted as evidence.
Judge Welch*ruled that in such in
stances the return made by the can
vassing board would stand. In the
recount of the thirteen precincts found
to be all right Sheriff Duffy gained in
each one, gaining altogether sixteen
votes, which with his lead of seven in
the official canvas gives him a ma
jority of twenty-three. At the con
clusion of the hearing Mr. Brittell con
gratulated his successful opponent.
He later announced that he was satis
fied with the result.
FRED I)E MARANVILLE.
Fred De Marnaville died at Atlantic,
Iowa, last Saturday, at the age of
fifty-six years.
Mrs. Maranville and Mrs. H. W.
Tomlinson of this city are sisters. Mr.
> ranville will be remembered by tb
M settlers here, as he spent consider
able time in O’Neill during the ’80s.
S. G. TWAMLEY.
S. G. Twamley died at his home in
Valentine last Sunday morning. The
cause of his death is given as compli
cations following the flu. He was
about sixty-three years old.
Mr. and Mrs. Twamley made their
home in O’Neill several months last
summer. Mr. Twamley represented
the Hanford Produce Company in
western Nebraska and eastern Wyom
ing.
The remains were taken to Wau
coma, Iowa, where the funeral was
held Wednesday.
COUNTY BOARD TO AID
STltART-BADGER ROAD
The representatives of Dustin and
Saratoga townships met with the
County Board last Tuesday and dis
cussed the proposition of protecting
the Stuart-Badger road three miles
west of the Parshall bridge. The
township board of Dustin agree to
furnish $300, Saratoga agrees to con
tribute $200 and the supervisors will
use $1,200 in an effort to change the
current of the Niobrara at this point.
A number of jetties will be placed in
the river and every effort will be made
to protect the road.

attended the farm sale at the Roberts
farm. They report large attendance
and property selling at satisfactory
prices.
We notice in driving along Antelotpe
Slough and the upland meadows, that
many tons of hay has been fed and
marketed. It has been the source of
revenue to those having hay to sell.
In fact many of the farmers who have
baled and sold hay in 1923, have not
heretofore been on the market with
this commodity.
Eark Jensen and family, former
residents here, owning the J. M.
Hunter ranch, well and favorably

Mr. Sojka, of Chicago, a brother to
the boys on the old Limmerman place
moved onto the place vacated by Mr.
Kohel. The latter we understand,
moved south of Ewing.
Some of our papers have either
been borrowed and were not returned,
or have gone astray, as we have miss
ed our Frontier twice lately. We don’t
object to getting it secondhanded, so
as we get it. The reading is just as
good.
Our second severe storm for the
winter took us quite unaware last
week. Some with loads, some after
coal, etc., and others with autos had
to stay in Page. Among those who
had to stay in Page were Tom Cooper,
E. Summers, Chas. Grimm. Mr. Plum
mer got as far as Mr. Parks, Mr, An
derson as far as Mr. Faulks. But the
worst scare was over Ed Rector, who
left the ranch about 1 o’clock and at
sundown no one had seen or heard of

and find him. He found him at P. E.
Cuninghams, where unfortunately they
had no phone.
