MR. AND MRS. N. F. LOY
INJURED IN AUTO CRASH
Miss Doris Lamm, 1(5, and Miss
Veryle Lamm, 19, of Norfolk, who
were injured in an auto wreck in j
which two young men were instantly |
killed and one young lady seecumbecL
in a few hours after the crash, near!
Norfolk at t2:30 o’clock early Sun-|
day morning, are granddaughters of j
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson F. Loy of thisj
city.
Miss Doris Lamm was quite serious
ly injured and has not been told of the
death of her companions; she has been
suffering from a concussion of the
brain; xray pictures of the girls Rkull
reveal no fracture; she is making a
game light for life.
Miss Veryle was not seriously in
jured; she suffered a sprained ankle
and a number of bruises.
The young men who were killed
were Walter Dittberner. 23, near
Madison; Carl Studemaier, 21, Madi
son; Leona LeRa.v, 17, Norfolk.
Arthur Dittberner, living near Madi
son, another member of the party, was
slightly cut.
The cause of the accident, as near
as can be learned from members of
the sedan in which the yeoung people
were riding is that the sedan was on
the wrong side of the road and collided
with a truck.
Mr. and Mrs. Loy have received no
definite information in regard to the
accident.
ATKINSON YOUNG MAN
TAKES GAS AFTER QUARREL
WITH IIIS SWEETHEART
The Omaha World-Herald contained
the following account of thte death of
Charles T. Richards, son of M. A.
Richards of Atkinson. Miss Gladys
Todd, the girl for whom he took his
life, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
F. J. Todd formerly of Atkinson, but
who now reside at Nebraska City:
A quarrel Tuesday night with his
sweetheart of six years led to the
suicide Wednesday morning, by gas
asphyxiation, of Charles T. Richards,
19, of Atkinson, Nebraska, a student
at the American College of Business.
The girl, to whom he wrote an im
passioned letter before he put a tube
into his mouth and breathed in the gas,
is Miss Gladys Todd, also a student at
the college, and daughter of Mrs.
Stella R. Todd of Nebraska City.
Richard’s body was found at 7:30 a.
m. Wednesday by his room mate, Syl
vester Michalek, 18, of Davidson, Ne
braska, in the bathroom adjoining
their room at ‘210 South Thirty-sixth
street.
INTERSTATE POWER CO.
MAKE IMPORTANT CHANGES
A phase of the electric industry
seldom appreciated by the layman, in
tact unheard of by the average per- i
son, in the tremendous amount of
thought and planning involved in con-1
■ tantly keeping ahead of load de
mands and anticipating future require-1
incuts in time to properly care fori
them.
Recently the Interstate Power Com
pany made changes in their transmis
sion system affecting some twenty-one
towns in northeastern Nebraska.
1 he work consisted of relocating
numerous transformermers installing
several new ones at strategic points
and making new connection to give
better voltage regulation and service;
the work l>cing done under the direct
supervision of Mr. E. G. Wisco, Chief
Operating (Engineer) of the company.
That interruptions to the patrons be
reduced to a minimum the majority
of the changes were made during the
i midnight to morning hours and it is
quite nrobable that many customers
j were unaware of any interruption to
| their service.
The magnitude of this change will
be more readily appreciated by the
fact that fifteen men labored day and
night for approximately two weeks
during fog, rain and snow to complete
j the work.
Since completing the change, Mr. H.
G. Kruse, of O’Neill, Nebraska, the
company technician in charge of Sub
stations and Electrical equipment has
been checking voltage and load coa
litions at the various towns, balancing
load on various substations and dis
tributing systems with the object of
improving the service.
This is but another instance of th($
company spending time and money
with thte sole thought of improving
the quality of service and keeping
that intangible asset, without which
no utility can exist—the Good will
of its patrons.
COUNTY JUDGE
MALONE SUSTAINS
LONG LOST WILL
County Judge Malone handed down
his decision last week in the case of
Eeltz vs. Feltz. This case has at
tracted considerable attention because
of the fact that a will was discovered
long after the estate had been divided.
The facts are ubout as follows.
Mr. F. C. Feltz, a bachelor, long a
resident of Ewing, died at the home
of a brother in the state of Texas, on
the 18th of August, 1920, possessed of
property Valued at about $50,000.00.
As no will was known to exist, F. J.
Feltz, of Ogalla, Nebraska, was, on
petition, appointed administrator.
Seven years later when the affairs
of the Ewing State Bank was being
liquidated a will was discovered which
made an entirely different disposition
of the property than that made by the
administroor.
As soon as the will was found and
offered for probate, F. U. Feltz, up to
that time had failed to file any report,
filed his final report W'hich wras ob
jected to by Firman Q. Feltz, who had
been named in the will as the exe
cutor. The Court sustained the ob
jection. The estate consists of about
$40,000.00 worth of real estate and
$10,000.00 of personal property.
Attorney Halligan, of Ogalla, and |
Joint A. Harmon, of O’Neill, are rep-;
; resenting the executor, Firman Q.
Feltz and Attorney James A. Dono
j hoe the former administrator, Mr. F.
jj. Feltz. The case will undoubtedly;
! be appealed.

CITY BASKETBALL TEAM.
O’Neill is boasting a city basketball
team that is holding a clean slate at
present, after having played two
games. First scalp was raised at
Bristow Wednesday night. The
O’Neill hoopsters won a 16-12 victory.
Hitting the snow drifts Friday night
the home products explained “how,”
to the fast Orchard team, the game
ending 19-16, all O’Neill.
The game opened with a neat under
basket shot by the elongated Chick
Gaines Jr., who performed in an out
standing manner for O'Neill. Fast
floor work and close guarding were
much in evidence while fouls by both
teams kept the referee quite busy.
The team is anxious to book a few
more games. Interested parties write

PIONEER DAY.
The O’Neill Woman's Club was (
honored by the presence of about
25 pioneer women last Wednesday
afternoon when the new book by Bess
Streeter Aldrich, was reviewed in a
very able manner by Mrs. R. M.:
Sauers. Many more would have re- j
sponded to the club’s invitation hadj
not the weather been so unfavorable.
“The Lantern In Her Hand” is the
story of one Abbie Deal, who endured
all the hardships incident to the early,
life in Nebraska. Coming to the state!
the year following it’s admission to the
Union, she experienced life in the sod
die with roads following the trail of
the buffalo. Contrast this with our
highways of today. She says “the de-J
velopment of the road is the evolution
of the various stages of civilization.”.
She suffered the drouths which burned :
i;f the crops planted on the new sod. |
‘ still born in the womb of nature,”
went through the grasshopper pest of
1874, the blizzard of '88, forever com
batting the adverse elements, “The
God of the settlers seemed to say:
snows, drouths, blizzards, dust storms,
rains, hot winds and the litttle pigmy
people—He held them all in the hol
iow of his hand.”
She recalled the legalizing of Ar
bor Day. April 10, 1885.
It is the story of the ideal pioneer i

that their children might enjoy the
comforts denied them, always with a
cheerful heart and hopeful attitude.
“Because the road was steep and long,
“And through a dark and lonely land,
“God set upon my lips a song,
“And put a lantern in my hand.”

Every book review by the club is in
the Grattan Township library and can
be secured by the public through the
librarian.

‘‘Trilogy,’' the great prize winning
novel, by Sigrid Unset, is to be sub
stituted for “The Mother” by Grazia
Deledda, at the March 13th meeting.
Club members should take advantage
and read this as soon as possible giv
ing all a chance before that date.
Have you had “Giants of the Earth”
by Rolvaag. It is your turn and you
should call for it. That will be review
ed in April.
Club attendance becomes a habit
Why not get it? It is an hour well
spent.
