SANDHILL CRANES HOLD AERIAL MEETING OVER O’NEILL MONDAY A sort of a get-to-gether meeting of several immense flocks of sandhill cranes over O’Neill shortly before noon Monday attracted considerable attention and because of the conse quent electrical interference inter rupted the radio receipt of the markets and weather report until the birds had settled their differences and departed out of range. The approach of the two flocks, one from the north and one from the south first was noticed by Mrs. Frank Biglin, who was getting the noon weather report from Lincoln over the radio, when two distant crane concerts, one distant and the other rather faint, interrupted the program. On going out into the yard she noticed both flocks of the big birds approach ing the city. Soon they met overhead and held quite a confab, after which they flew north for several miles and then returned to a point above town for another argument. This continued for several minutes, the birds setting up a great chatter. Apparently a vote was being taken and a majority of the birds favored going south instead of north, for eventually the two flocks of birds joined and departed in the direction of Swan Lake. After the de parture of the birds the radio again came in clear and with utter absence of static. The cranes during their sojourn over the town were observed with field glasses by a number of interested ones. The ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Grutsch fell from a calf that he had been riding last Saturday and broke his left arm. The young man had just recently recovered from a fractured right arm.

CROW HUNT GRAND SUCCESS, MUCH AMMUNITION USED Sunday was a great day for am munition manufacturers and rather a hard one on crows, the occasion being the joint crow hunt of the Holt and Boyd county sportsmen out on Oak Creek, just above its junction with the Eagle, where one of the largest rook eries in the state is located. The Boyd county hunters were on the ground early in the morning, but most of the Hoit county crowd, from O’Neill, Atkinson and Stuart, did not go out until after dinner, preferring the evening shooting when the birds were coming in to roost. An accurate estimate of the number of crows kill ed is impossible, owing to the fact that shooting continued until darkness, thus preventing a count, but fifteen hundred birds may have passed on and as many more lost feathers. Ranch men residing in the vicinity of the big hunt, which was participated in by perhaps several hundred, displayed great wisdom and incidentally helped reduce the hunting expense by getting their livestock out of the pastures into the corrals before the slaughter started. In addition to the extermina tion of a large number of crows much other good was done by the big hunt, County Agent Rose, Dr. Burgess, John Mullen, Bill Froelich and others dig ging out several miles of high centers along the creek highways. The big hunt was under command of President James McPharlin and Secretary Ed. O’Donnell of the Holt County and North Nebraska Crow Extermination Association, ably assisted by Professor mmmmmmmammmmm AFTER EASTER Reduction On Hijfh-Class Millinery Fitzsmmon’s Millinery APRIL 13th and 14th CASH ONLY Mike Kirwan, inventor of the famous “Bad Egg” fish bait.
