NEWPORT DEFEATS O’NEILL BALLISTS The O’Neill ball team went to New port aggregation of ball players. The por aggrigation of ball players. The O’Neill players received a severe “trimming ” The boys w?re late in reaching the grounds and as a pun ishment the Newport bunch would not let them workout before the game. Manager Kersenbrock did not send the first team to Newport but substi tuted with a first-class team composed of part of the first team and a number of other extra good players. John says that he figured that the team he sent was plenty stong enough to win from the Newport boys taking into consideration the fact that the New port team played here recently. John was wrong, the fellows up west were in perfect condition to handle the best of them and the sight of the boys that appeared upon the diamond caused them to lose their heads, to a certain extent. After the battle was over Newport had 28 scores and O’Neill managed to drag out three. Eatteries: Newport, Lone Star and Murphy. O’Neill, Bazelman and Shaw.

MRS. ANTON SOUKUP. Mrs. Anton Soukup died at her home four miles north of Page, Ne braska, about noon last Friday, follow ing a short illness. Mrs. Anna Kolovratek was married to Anton Soukup on Aprli 7, 1923. She conducted a grocery business in South Omaha prior to her marriage to Mr. Soukup. • The funeral services were conducted from the home at 2:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. L. R. McGaughey, of Pape. Interment was made in the Page cemetery. As the conditions surrounding her death were somewhat unusual, Dr. O. W. French, of Page, who had charge of the case, decided that an inquest should be held to determine the cause of her death. County Attorney Julius D. Cronin impanelled a jury Saturday and after hearing considerable evidence adjourn ed the hearing until today in order that the stomach of the deceased might, be sent to Lincoln for a chemical analysis. The evidence submitted shows that Thursday evening she became ill and Dr. French was called. She seemed much better the following morning but about noon she became seriously ill, Dr. French was again called but she was dead when the doctor arrived. The deceased has expressed a violent temper at different times, it is stated and according to witnesses she has made the statement that she would kill herself. A sister of the deceased, Mrs. An tonia Sterba, of Omaha, maide a state ment to the coroners jury tA the effect that her deceased sister always had a very bad temper; and could not get along with anyone. She had been pre viously married but could not get along with her husband. At one time she went back to her old home in Bo hemia, and remained there for seventeen years; when she came back she came to live with her but they could not get along on account of her violent temper; on one occasion she became so violent that in order for the doctor to administer a hypodermic it wa3 necessary to tie her in bed. The sister expressed the opinion that the deceased was not in her right mind. The following is the report of the coroner’s jury after having completed its hearing this afternoon “That the deceased died from effects of arsnic either administered by her own hand or parties unknown.” Signed: PERCY GRASS. CHARLEY GRASS. IX T. MURFIN. GEORGE FINK. H. G. ASHER. H. A. TROWBRIDGE. The following is the report of the state chemist, C. J. Frankforter: “We tested for arsnic and found relatively large amounts. We are of the opinion that arsnic must have been taken, probably in the form of the so called “white arsnic” which is an oxide of arsnic and exceedingly poisonous and very corrosive to mucus mem branes. It is possible the lead arsnate contained more or less of this oxide of arsnic. The large and deep burns ab solutely proved the presence of a cor rosive poison.” The county attorney is continuing the investigation to ascertain whether or not the deceased took the poison herself or whether it was administered to her by someone.

A mixed quartette sang two appropriate numbers. The little casket was banked with flowers. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Chambers cemetery. NOTES FROM THE NORTHEAST. Recent rain3 have been beneficial to growing crops and pastures. Stock is in good condition. Martin Stauffer and family visited relatives that reside near Venus, re turning home Sunday evening. The Savidge entertainment at O’Neill was represented from this vicinity Satuiday. They report it in teresting. Corn is making rapid growth and will need one good rain about the 15th of August to make the crop assured. As a rule, fields are free of weeds. Your correspondent visited some fields of oats in Willowdale and ad joining townships that have the ap pearance of a normal yield. Average above normal. Leslie Wertz and RayShellhartwent to Norfolk Sunday for a visit with Arthur Wertz, who is taking treat ment from Dr. Campbell at the Luth eran hospital. Lysle Phillips returned home Satur day from Chadron, Nebraska, where he attended summer school. We are informed he is employed to teach the Knoxville school. Mr. Parks and family, of Afton, Iowa, visited at the home of F. W. Hendrick last week, returning to Iowa, Friday. He reports corn two weeks late. Oats good crop. The'Yhreshing machine will soon be in evidence. Those that have rye will have cheaper and more economical feed than 9flc corn, but it should be ground to give satisfactory results, so I am informed by those that are feed ing it. The usual acreage of alfalfa will be sown this season in this part of the county. It is a valuable crop, that experience has proven to those that are feeding and using for pasture, es pecially for hogs. It appears un nessessary to feed tankage when feed ing or pasturing alfalfa for hogs. PLEASANT VALLEY. Tom Cooper autoed to Haywarden, Iowa, Saturday, to attend the funeral of his mother.
