SKIN OF LEOPARD
KILLED IN CHINA
The fallowing article appeared in
the Nemaha County Herald, publish
ed at Auburn, Nebraska, September
26th. Rev. Goodenberger, who is
mentioned in the article, is the hus
band of the former Hilda Longstaff,
who resided in O'Neill for a number
of years. Rev. and Mrs. Goodenber
ger have spent five years in Yunnan
province, China, in missionary work,
and have again returned to the same
province for another five year’s so
journ; they are located far beyond
the trouble zone in China and say
that they enjoy their work very
much.
“Rev. J. H. Patterson has in his
possession a very beautiful leopard
skin sent from China by Rev. E. C.
Goodenburger, an old college class
mate, who is now engaged in mission
ary work. The skin was sent to Rev.
Patterson who will have it made into
a rug and returned to Rev. Gooden
burger. The animal from which the
skin was taken was very large and
beautifully marked. Rev. Goodenbur
ger visited Rev. Patterson in Auburn
some time ago and will be remember
ed as having made a very interesting
talk at the union meeting in the court
house square in which he told of his
experience as a missionary in China.”
JOHN CAVANAUGH
The remains of John Cavanaugh
arrived in O'Neill last Tuesday morn
ing and were buried in the Catholic
cemetery at eleven o’clock that morn
ing.
John met his death on Saturday,
September 25th by being struck by
an automobile while walking on a
roadway at Dillon, Montana, where
he was enroute to or from a fair that
was being held there. We understand
that John stepped to the center of the
road to dodge a car when another car
came around a corner and hit him;
we learn that the driver of the car
did everything he could to prevent hit
ting him, even going to the ditch,
but to no avail. Death was instan
taneous.
The body wa3 brought to O’Neill
by Jack Sullivan.
' The deceased was thirty-nine years
years old. He went to Montana last
spring and has been working in the
vicinity of Dillon for some time. He
made his home south of O’Neill for a
number of years where he farmed.
He leaves three brothers, Charles,
James and Morris, of near O’Neill;
tw’o sisters, Mrs. Warren Sparks of
O’Neill and Mrs. Earl Hatton of
Chambers.
MICHAELIS—GOODFELLOW
Lester Michaelis of Wisner, Neb.,

S55 BULLS, 38 coming 2 years old, 17 coming 1 year old. 60 Females, 22 young Bred Cows and 2 year old
bred Heifers. 20 yearling open face Heifers and 18 Heifer Calves. i:
Lunch Served at 11 A. M., Sale following immediately after.
With the exception of a few of the older bulls the entire offering •will be presented in range condition and owing to the number to be sold t:
most of them will be put up in bunches of uniformity in type and bre eding and sold with privilege. II
I The offering as a whole is of a high standard, deseeding principally from Anxiety 4th, the bull that is responsible for the Hereford j:
today holding its strong position, commercial or purebred, due to its performance on the ranges. Were it not for this great sire, the tide ;;
might have gone to one of the other two beef breeds. Anxiety 4th gave to the Hereford breed the hind quarter, compactness, smooth- ;;
ness and thickness of flesh, a short, bread head with a flat, drooping horn and most of all the ability to transmit these characteristics j;
through his descendents, which is credited to his being line bred. His most noted direct descendents of later days are Beau Mischief, Beau :;
Blanchard, Bright Stanway, Spartan, Prince Domino, etc. Bright Stanway and Spartan are both half brothers to Prince Domino, who is J:
now noted as the greatest sire of all time of any beef breed, making his first identity for producing pounds on the range of the ideal Cj
feeder type. The above families are strongly represented, some being line bred Prince Dominos and all bred females are mated with
Prince Domino bred sires. To us this means a mark of quality and an assurance of breeding performance, which is our aim in our breed- +:
ing operations. However, we do not wish it to be understood that vre are pedigree fadists for we consider individuality first. f ■
Catalog will be cheerfully sent on request and your presence appreciated sale day. I:
