The city of Atkinson has signed a I new contract with the Interstate Power Company for street lighting. | The old rate was 10c per kwh; the new rate for pumping the city water is four cents for the first 1000 kwh, three and one-half cents for the next 1000 kwh and three cents for all over 2000. The weather turned cold and stormy last Sunday morning. Satur day was a nice, warm day for this season of the year. Sunday after noon a heavy northwest wind was filled with snow at times that resem bled a regular blizzard, but Monday was clear but cold. Again Tuesday ! snow flurries were prevalent. TELEPHONE AND HIGH LINE CREWS REPAIRING LINES Several crews of telephone men arrived in O'Neill last Thursday morning and began repairing the O’Neill system which was badly de molished by the sleet storm of last Wednesday night. The telephone lines have all been repaired in the city excepting those which pass through the cable on south fifth street; the high line fell on the cable in one place and burned it in two. Long distance service was l'esumed the latter part of the week but the line is only a temporary one and will be rebuilt as soon as possible. The Interstate Power Co. suffered considerable damage over almost all of their system. Manager Walling tells us that he has seven crews work ing with ten to twenty men to the crew, trying to get the lines in shape so that the towns may be lighted. He says that several towns in southern South Dakota are still without light as is also Bassett, Newport and some of the tow’ns west where service wras cdt off from both sides of them. O’Neill people should congratulate themselves upon the fact that they received tip-top service both from the light company and the telephone company following the worst sleet storm that has ever visited this sec tion of the state; every effort was put forth by both companies to clear up the trouble as quickly as possible. THE NEW CHEVROLET SIX HAS MANY IMPROVEMENTS The introduction of the new Chevrolet Six marks the most impressive forward step in Chev rolet's twenty^year record of con stant progress and improvement. For this Bigger and Better Six offers new beauty, new luxury, new completeness and new qual Ity—yet It sells at lower prices I The improvements In the new Chevrolet Six begin at the smart new chrome-plated headlamps and extend throughout the entire car. The radiator is deeper and unusually efficient. Due to the increased wheelbase, the lines are longer and lower, giving an air of exceptional fleetness and grace. And the new Fisher bodies combine with this more attrac tive exterior appearance, a new degree of interior luxury. The chassis of the new Chevrolet Six has also been refined and advanced in a number of different ways. The frame is heavier and deeper. There is a smoother oper ating, long lived clutch; a sturdier front axle; an entirely new steer ing mechanism; an easier shifting transmission. And along with these improve ments, Chevrolet offers a 50 horsepower, six-cylinder motor— four long semi-elliptic springs —four hydraulic shock absorbers — a safety gasoline tank —and an economy of operation not sur passed by any automobile. » » » AT NEW LOW 3*RhC<ES « « « The Phaet«n _ The Roadster Sport Roadster with rumble seat *510 *475 *495 The Coach __ Standard Coupe ___ Standard Five Window Coupe ’545 ’535 ’545 Sport Coupe with rumbfe seat Standard Sedan _ Special Sedan ...._ *575 $635 *650 i r FBOEUCII LEADS WAR IN CHICAGO l’PON GANGSTERS (Omaha World-Herald) William J. Froelieh, former Oma han, is commander-in-ehief of the government forces in their war against Chicago’s gangland, it was revealed Friday i n a copyrighted Consolidated Pro s dispatch to The World-Herald. Froelieh, a native Nebraskan, ner ved for two years as assistant Unit ed States district attorney in Omaha under J. C. Kinsler. He left in 192!) to become an assistant to the attor _m_HB WILLIAM J. FROELICH ney general and is the youngest mem ber of the attorney general’s staff. The Chicago campaign which Froe lich is directing is described by At torney Mitchel as “a concerted drive against crime in Chicago.” All government resources will be placed at Froelich’s disposal, it is stated. Prohobition agents, secret service, internel revenue agents, the intelligence unit, immigration offi cers, the department of justice, bur eau of investigation, postal inspect ions, the narcotic bureau and the cus toms inspectors will all be massed in the government’s army. Federal officers in Chicago refused to comment on Froelich’s appoint ment. “If words could drive the offi cial and criminal gangsters out of Chicago they would have been gone long ago,” said District Attorney Johnson. - Froelich himself refused to com ment. “Assistant Attorney General Froe lich is here to make action take the place of verbal fighting that has been so common,” says the press dispatch from Chicago. Other agencies will co-operate with Froelich in the “war of extermina tion.” Among them will be Pat Roche and his investigators of the state’s attorney’s office, and the “se cret six,” civilian organization form ed to combat official corruption. Important results have already been achieved, it is pointed out, al though the campaign is barely under way. Ralph Capone, brother of Sear face Al,” is under sentence of three years in federal prison after convic tion on charges of conspiring to vio-; late the income tax laws. Jake Gu-1 zik, general manager of Al Capone’s j gambling organization, was convicted t this week on a similar charge and is awaiting sentence. Frank Nitti, treasurer of the Capone organization is awaiting trial on similar charges, j Federal officials have indicated that Scarface Al himself may be the next arrested. The income tax laws will be the chief weapon of the federal officers, Although the gang leaders speak openly of their liquor business, it has been difficult to get convictions and long prison sentences on liquor char- j ges. The federal officers, it is said, believe that they can break the gang by sending the leaders to prison on tax charges and that, once the lead ers are disposed of, the liquor busi ness can be attacked with greater success. Proelich’s rise in the government! service has been rapid. He was grad uated from the law school of George town University, Washington, I). C., in the class of 1926, and shortly afterward passed the Nebraska bar examination. On July 13 of that year he was appointed an assistant to District Attorney Kinsler here. His work in the Omaha office at tracted the attention of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, then assistant attorneygeneral here in charge of li quor prosecutions, and in April, 1929, he was appointed assistant to th,e at torney general. Since that time he has been assigned to liquor law pro secutions in various parts of the country. He came to Omaha last spring to assist the local office in handling a part of the docket. Froelich was born in Stromsburg, Neb., but when he was 10 months, old his family moved to a farm near O’Neill. At the age of ten, when his father died. Froelich went to work in O’Neill to help support the family. —Buy it in O’Neill— ;: a Bargains In New and Used Pianos 1 1 used Hamilton Piano as good as new. $150 1 Rush & Gerts Piano, $150 1 New Hamilton Piano, Walnut case. $75 1 Halet & Davis Piano, $290 TERMS CAN BE ARRANGED. B Bowen’s Variety Store THE O’NEILL LIONS CLUB ENTERTAIN FOOTBALL BOYS The O’Neill Lions Club had as their guests at their regular noonday lun cheon last Tuesday the members of the High School football team. The boys have not registered very many wins this season owing to the fact that they are young and inexperienc ed; many of the boys are small in stature; Coach CarroR has worked hard with the squad this year and they are in a position to go out next I season and make a creditable show i ing. The boys have established a rep ; utation throughout this section of I the state as having played clean j football and have been commended by many of the towns for the man ! ner in which they have conducted themselves both on the field and on j the streets. Secretary of the Lions, L. E. Down ey, in a few well chosen words, ex tended a welcome to the boys and ex pressed the sentiment of the entire membership of the club when he said that the Club was 100% behind the squad and their coach in their en deavor to promote clean athletics. Thomas Abdouch, captain of the team, very ably responded, expressing the appreciation of the team for the interest taken in them by the Lions. Mayor C. E. Stout was present and also made a short talk to the team. Each Lion as well as each member of the squad made a few re-1 marks relative to the team. The lun cheon was one of the best that the ; club has enjoyed and no doubt was 1 conducive to a closer friendship be tween the boys and the business men present.
