O’NEILL DEFEATS ROYAL IN FAST GAME SUNDAY O’Neill won the sixth consecutive base ball game of the season here last Sunday when they defeated the fast Royal team 8 to 0. O’Neill took advantage of the poor fielding by the Royal team in the early part of the game and tucked away enough scores to win the game by a safe margin should the Royal start to score. Hank Martin played well in the field for the local team while Har rington recovered a long fly in deep center,which shut out Royal’s only hope of scoring, the bases being full at the time. Honeycutt held Royal helpless for the greater part of the game and turned in seven strikeouts. O’Neill will play the Cheighton team at Creighton next Sunday. Batteries: O’Neill, Honeycutt and Schollmeyer; Royal, Boham and Ham ilton.

Silar Warren Kelly was born near Hazel Dell, Illinois, on August 27, 1861, and died at his home in Atkin son Sunday evening, June 17, 1928, aged 67 years and 10 months. He was the youngest son of Silas Warren and Mary Jane Kelly. His boyhood days were spent on the farm at his home, j where he attended the country schools, and later was a graduate of Central College at Danville, Indiana. In 1886 he came to Nebraska and with a colony of Illinois relatives and friends helped lay out and establish the little town of Champion, Chase County, Nebraska. Forty-one years ago, in 1887, Mr. Kelly and Stanley Shoemaker established in this little town a frontier .weekly newspaper The Chase County Champion. This was the beginning of his 41 years of public service as a country newspaper editor, a life work that he thoroughly loved. January 24, 1891, Maude Isabelle Todd became his bride at Superior, Nebraska, and at Champion their first two children were born, Truby Char lotte and Eric Todd. Here the family lived until 1894 when they went to Stuttgart. Arkansas, where for three years they helped settle up another frontier territory. The Kelly family came back to Ne braska in 1897 and moved to Wisner, Cuming county, where Mr. Kelly ex changed a tree claim for a newspaper plant and established the Wisner Free Press. At this place the other two children, Ralph John and Tabor War ren were born. Mr. Kelly came to Atkinson in May, 1914, and purchased The Atkinson Graphic, which paper he edited until his death. During the World War with the advice and consent of the President of the United States, Mr. Kelly was commissioned Chairman of Four Minute Men for this community to work during the War in conjunct ion with the national committee on public information. Thus he con tinued in his family an unbroken war record of service to our country from the time of its declaration of inde pendence to the present day. His great grandfather, Lawrence Kelly, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. His grandfather, David Kelly served in the War of 1812. at the outbreak of the Civil War his father organized and was captain of Com pany F, 59th Regiment, Illinois Vol unteers, and his oldest brother, John was a lieutenant in the same company. They left their home for service just a few weeks before Silas Warren was born. Another brother, James C. Kel ly, was a cavalryman in the Civil War. A number of Mr. Kelly’s cous ins fought in the Spanish-American War, and his son, Eric Todd, was com missioned during the World War. S. W. Kelly is survived by his wife, Maude Isabelle; four children, Mrs. Truby Kirsch, of Lincoln, Eric Todd I Referees Sale Of Land July 9th, 1928 At 2:00 o’clock P. M. AT COURT HOUSE, O'NEILL, NEBR.
