prised of the condition of the family,
and at once suppled them with bask
ets of fried chicken and other deli
cacies usually in evidence on picnic
occasions. That the gift was thank
fully received was evidenced by the
tears that ran down the cheeks of the |
children when they looked into the
baskets. The mother had just return
ed to camp with two small loaves of
bread—all that she was able to obtain
during her search for food. The
family left Wednesday morning for
Wyoming.
LARGE BARN BURNED.
EXPLOSION THE CAUSE
The large barn on the John Bellar
farm owned by the First National
Bank, of Columbus, Nebraska, and
occupied by C. A. Strong, ten miles
northwest of O’Neill, was totally de
stroyed by fire Wednesday forenoon.
Mr. Strong was threshing oats and
stacking the straw in the barn as had
been the custom in former years.
About three loads of bundles had
been threshed when Mr. Strong and
two boys, who were stacking the
straw in the barn, went to the well
for a drink of water. Mr. Strong
says that just as he and the boys
were returning to the barn fire seemed
to come from the blower and almost
simultaneously there was an ex
plosion. The barn was completely
enveloped in flames. Mr. Strong and
the large force of men succeeded in
removing the threshing machine and
loads of bundles from the vicinity of
the barn but not until the machine,
which was a steel rig, had been sur
rounded by fire. Mr. Strong suffered
the loss of one horse, one calf, con
siderable harness, some hay and
grain.
We are informed that the barn and
contents were insured.
Several theories are advanced as
to the cause of the fire and explosion,
but the one that seems to be the
most plausible is that the fire origi
nated in the machine, either from
friction or static which ignited the
dust in the barn causing the ex
plosion. Several similar fires have
been reported this year.

ALLEN OF O’NEILL TEAM
LEADS PITCHERS OF STATE
Holt county baseball fans need not
go away from home to see baseball
pitching of big league class anil form.
Whenever they attend a garr o in
which O’Neill iB participating and Ed
Allen is on the mound they are see
ing the leading pitcher of Nebraska
in action, bar none. Allen within the
last eight days has defeated two
league pitchers in games which were
almost entirely pitchers battles in
which the least letdown meant de
feat. The first was Carl Stimpson,
in the game at Stuart last Thursday
in which O'Neill won by a score of 5
to 2. The other was Fred Wigging
ton last Sunday, when O’Neill de
feated Verdigre 1 to 0. Both of
these pitchers could be playing in the
Western league or the American as
sociation if they cared to. Wigging
ton is and for two years has been
under contract with the St. Louis Na
tional leaguers, but refused to report
this year. Both men not only are
good pitchers but also good batters
and good base runners. Allen con
sistently leads them in all three ac
complishments. Each of the two oc
casionally have brilliant days in which
they may outshine the O’Neill hurler,
but Allen never varies. He is good
all of the time. Allen last Sunday in
the game with Verdigre outpitched
and outhit Wiggington in a game as
fast and as errorless as a world
series one. The following from the
World Herald pf Monday shows how
Stimpson and Wiggington are con
sidered by the Omaha and Council
Bluffs fans:
“Council Bluffs baseball fans will
this afternoon be treated to a game
that should whet their appetite for
the southwestern Iowa tournament,
which is to begin the latter part of
this month, when the crack Millard,
Nebraska, squad invades Broadway
park to tackle the Athletics, Council
Bluff’s fast semipro aggregation.
“Both Millard and the Athletics are
entered in the Class A section of the
tournament and today’s game should
give an indication of which is most
likely to run the gauntlet to the finals.
Wiggington, formerly with the St.
Louis Nationals and Omaha Western
league, will twirl for Millard,while the
Athletics have a trio to choose from
in “Lefty" Powers, Art Dyck and
Carl Simpson.”
The city takes what
the farmer raises, in
cluding the farm
help.
