INFANT CLEVELAND.
(Ewing Advocate, June 6.)
Last Thursday morning the com
munity was shocked and saddened to
learn of the sudden death of little
Evelyn Jane Cleveland, the only
daughter and youngest child of Mr.
and Mrs. Alfred Cleveland, of near
Orchard. She was taken sick with a
cold on Wednesday, which developed
into croup that evening, and took her
almost before she was thought to be
in a serious condition.
She was born August 8, 1922, and
departed this life May 28, 1924. She
leaves a heart-broken father and
mother and three small brothers, be
sides a host, of other relatives to
mourn her going. But while they
mourn may they be comforted by the
words of our Lord, “Of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven;” and by know
ing, as they surely do, that the entire
community extends heartfelt and sin
cere sympthy.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church Saturday afternoon
and were conducted by Rev. W. L.
Fhilley. Burial was made in the Ew
ing cemetery.

WM. HEWETT OF ATKINSON
OIL CO., SERIOUSLY INJURED
(Atkinson Graphic, June 13.)
Wm. Hewett, head of the Atkin
son Oil Co., i3 lying seriously injured
at his home in Atkinson as the result
of a crossing accident in which a
company truck he was driving was
wrecked.
He was going north on Carberry
street to make an oil delivery and
reached the crossing just as regular
freight 132, conductor, Chas. Wehrer,
pulled into town.
The truck had an enclosed cab and
Mr. Hewett did not notice the ap
proaching train until it whistled and
did not then realize it was whistling
for the crossing. He drove up on the
track and it was there he first saw
the train.
Knowing he could not get across,
he threw the truck into reverse, kill
ing his engine.
The pilot struck the left front wheel
demolishing it and bending the chasis
and radiator at the same time pushing
the truck off the track.
By the impact Mr. Hewett was
fcrciLly thrown from the cab, tearing
away the side through which he fell.
The force of the fall and the injury
from an oil barrel which struck him
caused a few minutes of unconscious
ness. Mr. and Mrs. Dyson, living
across the street, were witnesses to
the accident and Mr. Dyson assisted
by two brakemen who ran to his aid
soon removed Mr. Hewett from where
he had fallen partly under the truck.
A doctor was hurridly summoned
and it was found his injuries were
not so grave as at first feared. He
soon regained consciousness and was
able to be taken home.
Two men were unloading freight
near the crossing, one working with
his back to the accident and facing
his helper. The pallor and expression
of the man’s face, who saw the acci
dent was such that the other, thought
he was suddenly stricken with some
malady.
Mr. Hewett’s sons were notified of
his injuries and Dale and Clare ar
rived from Ainsworth as quickly as
possible.
Mr. Hewett’s injuries consisted of a
sprained back, contusions of the body
and a scalp wound, so far as outward
indications go, and while painful are
not considered dangerous.

DOES GREAT DAMAGE
(Stuart Advocate, June 5.)
Only meager reports have yet come
in regarding the damage done by the
hail storm which struck this section
late yesterday evening. Some damage
to trees, gardens and windows was
reported here in town, but nothing
of much importance.
North and northeast of Stuart it
was much worse. At the Corrigan
farm the hail stones averaged the size
of pool balls and many window glass
were broken.
North of town, Henry Timmermans
reports the hail as being piled up in
drifted in places, two and a half feet
deep. He could not get the door open
because of the pressure of the hail.
Much damage was done to growing
crops.
Fortunately, a heavy downpour of
rain accompanied the storm and the
moisture will, to an extent, compen
sate for the damage done by the hail.
HAIL STORM VISITS STUART
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING
(Stuart Advocate, June 12.)
It is difficult to make a detailed re
port of the second disastrous hail
storm which struck Stuart and the
surrounding territory, early this
morning. /
Reports from every direction indi
cate heavy damage to crops and build
ings. Many fields of grain were de
stroyed and other corn fields that were
not ruined by the hail, had the lister
furrows washed full of dirt by the
accompanying rain, and will have to
be re-planted.
Many hundreds of window glass
were broken and every available man
in town that could handle and set
glass, was pressed into the service.
Much damage to shingle and felt
roofing was also reported. Gardens
were destroyed and the apple trees
were given a bad drubbing, the fruit
being nearly all knocked off. In some
places the heavy hail stones peeled
the bark from the apple trees, which
are permanently damaged.
Our salvation will be in putting the
destroyed fields to early maturing corn
or other feed crops and then feed to
milk cows. You can’t beat a bunch
of good milk cows and a cream sepa
rator anyway, for a continuous source
of money-supply.
The rain which accompanied the
storm gives us the moisture so badly
needed by our pastures and hay
meadows.

WASHINGTON, D. C.
Washington, D. C., June 16, 1924.
The great majority of Western
members voted against adjournment
of Congress but Congress adjourned.
With the exception of Congressman
Morehead, the Nebraska delegation
voted to continue with the pending
legislation. The Western men held
that the transportation and farm re
lief problem had not been solved.
The adjournment resolution was car
ried by the Republicans and Demo
crats from the east and south. The
vote was 221 to 157.
The McNary-Haugen Bill was de
feated, and with it the hope of any
farm legislation before the December
j session. Of the many plans proposed
it presented the most workable plan.
; It did not have the support of either
the Democratic or Republican organ
ization forces. It did not havo the
united support of the representatives
of farming districts. Opposition to its
passage was led cn the floor of the
House by Representative Voigt, an
“insurgent” Republican of Wisconsin,
and by Representative Aswell, Demo
crat of Alabama. In the face of this
opposition the friends of the measure
secured 154 votes in its favor, the
same number of votes received by the
Mellon tax plan in the House. Ninety
three of the members who voted
against adjournment voted for the
McNary-IInugen Bill. Opposition to
the bill came from the New England
states, the states east of the Ohio
river, and from the “solid South.” Be
ginning with Ohio and west the vote
was over-whelmingly in favor of the
bill. Nebraska’s delegation voted
solidly for it.
This will be the last of the letters
for this session of Congress. Mrs.
Simmons and I have enjoyed writing
them. We have spent a part of one
evening a week trying to tell the
“home folks” something of Congress
and its doings, of Washngton and life
here. Passing these letters on to the
people of the Sixth District has been
possiole because of the full and
friendly cooperation of the newspapers
in their publication. Appreciation
coming from Nebraska makes us feel
that it has been time well spent.
The nose of the old Ford will be
turned towards home this week. We
return as we came, overland, and
camping out along the way. Ne
braska and its people will look mighty
good to all of us.
My secretary, Mr. Malone, remains
in Washington in charge of the office
and work here so as to give prompt
and personal attention to Depart
mental matters. No delay in this
service to the people of the Sixth
District will be caused by the recess
of Congress. Letters directed to
Room 183, House Office Building,
Washington, D. C., ,dr to Scottsbluff,
Nebraska, after Jiily 1st, will reach
me.

HIGH COURT STAYS
DEATH OF SUMMONS
Issues Writ Which Halts Plans For
Execution At State Penitentiary
June 1®.
NEW EVIDENCE PRESENTED
Lincoln, June 16.—Attorney Gen
eral Spillman this afternoon received
official notice from Washington that
he United States supreme court had
granted a writ of certiorari in the
appeal of Walter Ray Simmons. This
viil automatically suspend all further
proceedings to execute June 18 until
:he supreme court has acted in the
matter.
Adaitional affidavits were filed with
Governor Bryan today in behalf of
Simmons, awaiting execution for the
murder of Frank Pahl in Boyd county,
fhe affidavits were presented by Hugh
O'Neill of Anncar, Nebraska, and are
expected to lead to new and important
developments.
In one affidavit, former Chief of
Police Wagstaff of Bonesfceel, South
Dakota, testified that he arrested two
men on the morning after the murder
of Pahl in Boyd county, Nebraska.
Both men, according to Wagstaff’s af
fidavit, bore evidence of having been
in a rough combat and were heavily
intoxicated. Their automobile, the
affidavit declared, was smeared with
blood and hair.
Dr. Kenaton, of Bonesteel, testified
in an affidavit that he took care of
one of the men, who had deep cuts in
his head and sent him back to Spencer,
Nebraska.
Two residents of Herrick, South
Dakota, presented affidavits to the ef
fect that the murder of Pahl was
known there three hours before it was
heard of in Spencer, Nebraska, and
that the reason was that a man known
as Jim Herman drove into Herrick
and told citizens there of the murder.
Herman is now said to be serving a
17-year sentence for murder in the
Wyoming penitentiary.
Hugh O’Neill, who gathered the af
fidavits presented today, said this
afternoon he hopes to get a confes
sion from Herman soon. This con
fession is expected to show that Her
man either knew about the murder
or had a part in it.
Rawlings, Wyo., June 18.—Jim Her
man, who is serving a term of from
eight to fifteen years’in the Wyoming
state penitentiary for manslaughter,
today declared he knew absolutely
nothing of the killing of Frank I’ahl
in Boyd County, Nebraska, in May,
l'J22, according to Frank A. Hadsell,
warden of the prison. Herman, when
Questioned by Warden Hadsell con
cerning reports from Chicago, tirat he
bad been quoted as knowing some
thing about the slaying for which Ray
S'mm on s is under senterce of death in
Nebraska, declared he never received
any money nor never told any one

Washington, June 16.—The supreme
court was asked today to review the
death sentence imposed upon Walter
Hay Simmons for the murder of Frank
Pahl at Spencer, Nebraska, Simmons
is under sentence to die next Wednes
day.
Being in recess, the court/ cannot
consider the petition until after it con
venes next October. The filing of the
motion was decided upon by E. P.
Holmes, Josiah Coomb.? nnd Thomas
j P- Littlepage, counsel for Simmons,
after consultations with justices of
the court. It is based upon the dis
covery of new evidence and on the
charge that three of the jurors who
tried Simmon# were prejudiced.
It is the/lxpectation of counsel for
Simmons ♦■hat Governor Bryan of Ne
braska will continue to grant 30-day
reprieves until the supreme court acts
on the case. The petition asserts that
seve.al farmers who did not appear at
the trial will testify that Simmons was
not in the automobile when Pahl was
driven down the road and murdered.

JERRY HOWARD
THROWS A BOQUET
Omaha, Neb., June 13, 1924.
To the Editor of The Frontier:
In giving the people of Omaha an
account of my recent visit to your city,
I frankly told them that I never met
with a more genial class of people
than the “present” residents of
O’Neill; that my sojourn there was
most delightful and in every way
satisfactory. I mentioned the names
of some of those I met who seemed bo
be interested in my mission:
Mrs. Ed. F. Gallagher, Mrs. J. A.
Donohoe, Mrs. C. E. Stout, Mrs. Hugh
Boyle of Norfolk, Mrs. Ryan, Miss
Anna O’Donnell,' Miss Bridget Carr,
Miss Agnes Carr, Father Cassidy,
Mayor J. P. Gilligan, M. F. Harring
ton, Judge R. R. Dickson, Judge C. J.
Malone, Peter W. Duffy, Ira H. Moss,
•J. P. McManus, John Carr, Judge J.
J. Harrington, Thomas Griffin, Mar
tin Conway, James Connolly, Zeb War
ner, John Robertson. Joe Horiskey,
Neil Brennan, W. J. Hammond. Arthur
Ryan, T. V. Golden, Thomas Waldron,
II. J. Hammond, Howard Bouman, E.
F. Porter, Judge L. C. Chapman, Edw.
M. Gallagher, L. G. Gillespie, F. J.
Dishner, James Crowley, J. A. Dono
hoe, C. M. Daly.
I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks
to all these noble women and darling
colleens and patriotic men. There are
many whose names I do not recall. I
can never forget, however, the
interest, Mr. Editor, yourself and
Mr. Peters took in this national pro
ject:—to transfer from Omaha to the
City founded by General O’Neill, the
mortal remains of this Irish martyr
patriot. There and no where else
should his remains and monument be
located.
In mentioning the names of the
officers who were selected bo perform
the national project of honoring the
memory of the hero of the Battle of
Ridgeway, that old Fenian, John Rush,
seemed delighted in the selection of
T. V. Golden. Everyone here is highly
elated over the selection of M. F. Har
rington, a patriot who was never
known tio exploit his religion or na
tionality—“Thiggin-thu”. I stated
from my observation of John Carr,
who was chosen to handle the funds,
that he is a true representative of the
hero of the Battle of Ridgeway, and
the martyrs of “Easter Week.”—
“Who fears to speak of Easter
week,
Who dare its fate deplore.”
I said that everyone connected with
the organization were sterling Irish
nationalists; as a matter of fact, I
stated that the entire population of
O’Neill regardless of birth, race, or
creed were in hearty accord with the
movement. If there were any “Freak
Staters” or “Shoneens” in O’Neill,
thank God, I did not meet them.
I hope that the organization will go
to work immediately and have every
thing arranged long before Septem
ber 20th, the anniversary of the mar
tyrdom of Robert Emmet.
O’Neill will be dedicated on that
day as the Capitol City of the Irish
Republic in America. The rededica
tion of the monument to the memory
of the hero of the Battle of Ridgeway
will be the most historic event in the
annals of Irish-American history.
Yours truly,
JERRY HOWARD.
