“Account is given in a news story

chickens. Mrs. Kozisek was alone in

O'NEILL BUSINESS MEN
VISIT GOVERNOR BRYAN
A delegation of O’Neill and Cham-;
bers business men a n d friends of j
Highway No. 13, drove to Lincoln
and Wednesday appeared before Gov-1
ernor Charles Bryan in his offices in
the new capitol building, with the re- \
quest that the fourteen miles of gap
in Highway No. 13 in the northern
part of Wheeler county be graded
and surfaced and to include the un
surfaced part of the road in the
southern part of Holt county.
The Governor was very courteous
to the delegation and gave them
much consideration but at the same
time explained to them the enormous
amount of road building that is ask
ed for all over the state and how ut
terly impossible it is to satisfy every
one who asks for highways. He ex
plained that the state department of
Public Works, which is now under
the direct supervision of the Gover
nor, expects to build every foot of
road possible this year, thus giving
employment to many men who need
the w'ork; their plan is to scatter the
work proportionately throughout the
state according to population and the
necessity of the road asked for. The
Governor pointed out to the delega
tion how he had saved up to thirty
percent on the lettings that have been
made since he became Governor and
how the present road building pro
gram is going to save the state con
siderable money; the money saved is
going to be spent in building more
road than was originully planned by
the state engineers in their estimates
for the year’s work.
Alter going over tne details or tne:
road program already let by the De
partment of Public Works in this
county, and which are now being ad
vertised in The Frontier, for No. 54
which runs south from Atkinson
through Burwell, the delegation ex
pressed its appreciation for the con
tracts granted.
Governor Bryan did not insure the
delegation that the contract asked for
would be let this year, but assured
the gentlemen present that the prop-!
osition would receive consideration.
The whole matter seems to hinge [
upon the matter of finances; if the |
money will hold out or if Governor j
Bryan is successful in getting the
work done as cheaply as he antici
pates Holt county will, no doubt, get
the road to Bartlett finished this year,
otherwise it will perhaps lay over for
the next year’s budget.
Those who made the trip to Lincoln
were: Attorney J. J. Harrington;
Chairman of the County Board; John
Sullivan; President of the O’Neill |
Commercial Club, Dr. W. F. Finley;1
R. R. Morrison; M. H. McCarthy; J.
B. Mellor; Roy Griffin; J. F. O’Don
nell; Homer Mullen; R. L. Arbuth-!
not; C. P. Hancock; P. J. McManus;
W. C. Templeton, all of O’Neill, and
Ezra Cook, Roy Lienhart and J. W.
Walter, all of Chambers.

(Atkinson Graphic)
Arlo Dean, the 6-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Art Burge, of Emmet,
gave the neighbors in his vicinity
quite a fright Monday morning. The
boy started for school about 8 o’clock
Monday morning before his brothers
and sisters. When the other children
arrived at the school they found no
brother. Mr. and Mrs. Burge were
summoned and they called neighbors
for help. The small boy had lost his

There will be no club luncheon next

(Atkinson Graphic)
Robbery of the Wm. Hewitt bulk
gasoline and oil tank station was
frustrated early last Friday morning
by Nightwatchman Geo. E. Spence,
who surprised two men who had
broken into the building. Also sur
prised was officer Spence when one
of the men poked a gun in his face
and kept him covered while the pair
made their escape in a Ford car, the
number plates of which were cover
ed with cardboard.
The nightwatch saw the car drive
up to the station, which is located at
the extreme west end of the railroad
yard, at about 5:30 a. m. He suppos
ed that it was one of the Hewitts,
but decided to make sure and walked
up to the place.
Inside were two men with a flash
light. Spence knew that Mr. Hewitt
usually used a flashlight when work
ing in the building after dark, so he
called to the men to find out who
they were. They rushed out and went
to their car and the nightwatch,
sensing something wrong, went after,
them, but when he got close to the!
car, was halted by a gun which was
poked in his face by one of the men.
The other pulled his cap down overt
his face, started the car and they
sped away.
Officer Spence says that he would
have no difficulty in identifying the
gun wielder, because he flashed his
light in the man’s face and got a
good look at him. Sheriff Duffy was
notified and although officers suspect
w’ho the men were, there have been!
no arrests made.
The following is taken from the
March Gth issue of the Atkinson
Graphic which just came to our desk.
After reading the article we find that
O’Neill parties seem to be the fel
lows they are looking for:

Howard Ruby went to O’Neill, Wed
