PARKED CARS PUTS

Another serious accident occurred

two parked automobiles, and upset the
Ford coupe in which she and her
mother, Mrs. R. E. Magirl were rid

that she must either hit one or the
other of the two cars which were evi
dently parked too closely, or else go
j into the ditch. She choose the latte

Royal base ball players who were o
their way to Magnet. The car turne
over on its side once and then swun;
back on its other side. Miss Mapii

Hear Dan Desdunes Band
Dan Desdunes' Band has played the State Fair and all large of the State. The Omaha Bee of
September ttth says: “Dan Desdunes’ Band is as much a state fair institution as the grandstand. The
managers of the fair are frank to admit that Dan’s Band is one of the biggest attractions on the
grounds. When the hand plays “Omaha” and the dusky baritone sings and dances it, everybody ap
plauds and yells for more.”
Philip and Benny
Free Attractions
Philips and Benny are rated as the world’s be st Acrobats and Tumblers. Their Free act each day
is unusual and thrilling.
r GHOST LIGHT OIL MEN
i TO BANQUET AT GOLDEN
11 -
1 Things have been developing in
r the “oil” proposition during the past
1 week. Harry T. Osborn, who has been
t putting in considerable time proniot
- ing the interest and getting things
. under way, has made several trips to
a Sioux City and points east during the
t past ten days and reports that every
r thing is booming in the promotion
' work. A banquet has been arranged
1 for Saturday evening at 7:00 o’clock
t at the Golden, when a number of rep
t! resentatives of the businessmen of
• Sioux City, Norfolk and intervening
- points will assemble and listen to a
s talk b> W. H. Helmerick, of the Helni
1 erick & Payne, Inc., who will drill the
t well, and a report from the geologist
s of the company who will have made
i an inspection of the structure.
Invitations to the banquet were is
. sued to the outside businessmen by
Mayor C. E. Stout through the O’Neill
j Commercial Club.
Mr. Helmerick, accompanied by a
geologist and their attorney will ar
rive in O’Neill Friday and will look
over the proposed field.
Mr. Osborn tells us that the Sioux
City businessmen are deeply inter
ested in the drilling for oil in north I
Nebraska and that O’Neill is the first
place that they will place their money;
otner towns are interested and all the
money necessary will be raised without
any apparent difficulty.
Representatives from the Sioux City
and Norfolk dailies will be at the ban
quet and will obtain the reports of the
geologist for their publications.
The businessmen, and all those in j
terested in the drilling even though
they no not expect to invest any,
money, should be at the banquet and
lend their moral support to the pro
position. If oil should be located in
this district it would mean considerable
for O’Neill. Lets ull buy a ticket for j
the banquet at least.
THE HOLT COUNTY FAIR
ALL READY TO OPEN
The management of the Holt County j
Fair state that the grounds and build-;
ings are all ready for the opening
j of the fair next Tuesday morning.
The entries are coming in nicely and
everything points to one of the best
fairs in years.
The agricultural exhibits will not
| be as extensive as they would, have i
I been had not the dry and exceedingly!
hot weather injured the crops but a
number of localities are arranging ex-!
hibits that are very good and visitors
at the fair may be surprised to find
an excellent display of all kinds of
farm products.
j The running races promise to bej
very good. Four races will be run
peach day; the horses are mostly from
points in Nebraska, and are racing on
the Nebraska circuit; they are at Ful
lerton this week.
Dan Desdune’s colored band will
furnish the music each day. The band
has played the Nebraska state fair,
| for about twelve years; they have play
i ed all of the larger fairs of the state
| and are a great drawing card every
j where they go. They carry singers |
and dancers and always entertain the
| crowd.
Philip & Benny, tumblers and acro
bats, will present their free act each
afternoon before the grandstand.
They are wonders and will give you
plenty of thrills.
A complete program of each day’s
event will Ije found on the front page
of this issue.
TWO OPPORTUNITY FARMERS
BURNED BY GAS EXPLOSION ,
Robert Tomlinson and Albert Gib
son. two prominent farmers residing
in the Opportunity neighborhood i
twenty-two miles northeast of O’Neill,
were seriously burned about the arms
and body last Friday evening when
i gasoline fumes ignited from a lant
| ern that was lighted and was about
i twenty feet from a tank from which
Mr. Tomlinson was drawing gasoline.
Mr. Tomlinson was severely burned!
; about the hands, arms and face; he !
j would have been more seriously burn- .
: ed had not his wife induced him to
jump into a watering tank that was
near as his clothing was all ablaze.
Mr. Gibson anticipated what was go
ing to happen and started to run. He
was some distance away when the gas
was ignited and received only a se
vere burn on his right hand and right
leg.
The flames soon reached the barn,
which was ten or fifteen feet away, ;
and it was soon burned to the ground.
The barn contained a large quantity
of hay, some grain, harness and bug
gies; only a part of which was remov
ed. The barn was only a few years
old; it was 48x28 feet with 14 foot
corners, a lean-to 16x48 feet was also
consumed.
Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Gibson were
brought to the office of Dr. Finley
where their burns were dressed that,
| right; Mr. and Mrs. Tomlinson went1
tc Omuha Saturday morning where
Mr. Tomlinson has been receiving
i treatment at the University hospital;
| reports from there indicate that they
1 may be home this evening.
Mr. Tomlinson and family were re
turning from a short visit to the
George Tomlinson home and had
stopped at the Gibson farm to obtain
some oil; when he was was ready toj
i continue his trip the car was found to
be out of gasoline; the men decided to
draw a small amount of gas from the
! tank near the bam and in so doing
; a considerable quantity was spilled
j upon the ground.
