Three shots were fired by Allen
without provocation or warning, ac
cording to the report of the affair 1

tance telephone from Heinzelman at
Hartington, the county seat, to Chief
Game Warden George E. Roster, at

bile, in which he was starting away
from the Allen farm. The third struck
Heinzelman in his back and shoulders,
a number of large-sized shot lodging
in the flesh.

JERRY HOWARD WANTS
CONCERTED ACTION
Omaha, Neb., July 12, 1924. '
To the Editor of The Fontier, O’Neill,
Nebraska:
Please give space to the subjoined
which is a copy of a letter I mailed
to Hon. T. V. Golden, Chairman of the
Association.
If this project is ready by September
12 there will be Irish men and women
Etalore in O’Neill that day from east
2rn cities, also there will be a dele
gation from Denver under the leader
ship of Honorable John R. Scott, and
from Los Angeles under the influence
of Honorable Peter Murry.
Yours truly,
JERRY HOWARD.
“Omaha, Neb., July 11, 1924.
“Hon. T. V. Golden, Chairman, and
Members, O’Neill Monument Asso
ciation:
“Gentlemen: I propose in a few
words to lay this patriotic and inter
national project before your organ
ization and the entire citizenship of
O’Neill.
“In my letter to The Frontier of
Juno 13th, I stated what I told the
peop’c. oi Omaha about the “present”
residents of O’Neill. I would feel
greatly disappointed, therefore, if in
any way, they should fail to measure
up to my estimation of their patriot
ism.
“Now, Mr. Golden, it puzzles n e
why you are so skeptical, when you
say all the members of the organiza
tion, including yourself, feel that
there will be opposition to transferring
the remains and monument of Gen.
John O’Neill, the hero of the Battle
of Ridgeway, from Omaha to O’Neill,
the city founded by this Irish Martyr
patriot.
“I am not certain that I should
have taken the advice of Mrs. E. F.
Gallagher and Mrs. C. B. Scott to
submit the purport of my mission to
O’Neill to the Woman’s Club. I would
have taken their advice immediately,
if it had not been for the fact that
so many in Omaha spoke of T. V.
Golden’s sterling patriotism. Conse
quently, my faith in Mr. Golden, to
gether with my long acquaintance
with M. F. Harrington, convinced me
that I could rely on the men to ac
complish this long neglected patriotic

and meritorious project.
“Let me digress from this subject
to prove my faith in the patriotism of
the women. A few days ago a dis
tinguished jurist, who has gone to
London, to confer with his Brother
Barristers, Judges, Lawyers, “Gal
loper Smith,” “Lloyd George” and
other Rascals, asked me to give him
a letter of introduction to friends of
mine in the Irish Republic, which he
was to visit. In the long list of
names I furnished him, I mentioned
only two men, because the colleens
are the most patriotic and intelligent
—God bless them—to give him an
accurate story about the Island of
Saints, Martyrs, Patriots and Schol
ars.
“Mr. Golden, it hardly seems pos
sible that the citizens of O'Neill will
or can ignore this international pro
ject, or that there is any denational
ized citizen, who will dare to oppose
this movement which, has the ap
proval of the entire Irish Race.
“Civic pride should prompt the en
tire population of O’Neill to aid and
encourage the movement in every way
possible.
“Your organization has two secre
taries and if they fail in the per
formance of their duties, dispense with
them, and appoint one Colleen.
“Consequently, I am returning the
Duffy-Johnston and Merchants 'Ex
press Co., bills and suggest that your
organization negotiate with these
firms—“The West Awake, the West
Awake.”
“Yours very sincerely,
“JERRY HOWARD.”

The fast aggregation of ball play
ers came down from Newport last
Sunday and were defeated 5 to 1 by
the Shamrocks. The game was ex

good game. Beha caught several nice

much toward winning the game.
Persons and Ford were the battery
for O’Neill: Gilpin and Murphy for
Newport. Strikeouts by Persons, 10;
by Gilpin 4; Bases on balls: Off Per
sons, 1; off Gilpin, 2. Errors: O’Neill
6; Newport 9. Hits Off Persons 6;
off Gilpin 9.
Lone Star, the Newport second
baseman knocked a home run in the
ninth which gave Newport their only
score.
