McCarthy Dies Following An Auto Crash At The Corner Of Fifth And Douglas Sts. Timothy D. McCarty died at his home southwest of this city last Sun day afternoon, as the result of an automobile accident in this city last Sunday morning, at the age of 77 years and three months. Last Sunday morning, about 9:30 there was a collision on the corner of Douglas and Fifth streets between a car driven by Dennis McCarthy and that driven by a man named Green, a member of an orchestra that was com ing to this city to play for a dance at Danceland that evening. McCarthy was turning across the street from the south side, angling northeast to pull into Mellor’s filling station to get some gas. The other car was com ing into town from the east. They came together just at the east edge of Fifth street the car coming from the east side swiping the McCarthy car and turning it half way around in the street. The front end of the McCarthy car, the fenders, were crushed and the glass in the front window on that side of the car broken, and one of the other windows was cracked. Mr. McCarthy was sitting in the front seat on the side of the car that was hit and in the rear seat his daughter, Mrs. Daucey and little daughter were sitting. Mr. McCarthy was cut on the top of the head, ap parently from the broken window glass. After the collision he was taken to the office of Dr. Finley and the gash in his head sewed up and it was not thought that he was seriously injured, as he appeared all right and the cut was not very deep. The Mc Carthy family were taken home by Ralph Mellor, their car being put out of commission by the collision. When they reached home Mr. McCarthy got out of the car and walked into the house saying that he was feeling fine. A little later he went to bed to rest and slept for a couple of hours, then woke up and recognized Father Leahy who had called at the house and in a short time passed peacefully away. It is thought the shock of the collision was more injurious to him than the cut he sustained. A coroners jury, consisting of H. E. Coyne, M. J. Golden, A. D. Palmer, T. A. Quilty, G. W. Mellor and S J Weekes were empaneled by Coroner Cronin. After they had examined about a dozen witnesses they returned a verdict that Timothy McCai thy came to his death as the result of an automobile accident, which was un avoidable, superinduced by old age, high blood pressure and heart trouble. They held that there was no liability on the part of either driver, as the accident was unavoidable. Timothy D. McCarthy was born in County Cork, Ireland, in May 1857. When a young man he came to the United Sstates and located in northern Michigan, where many people from his home county in Ireland had lo cated. He remained there until the spring of 1883 when he, accompanied by his brother, the late Daniel Mc Carthy, came to this county and lo cated on Dry Creek southwest of this city. He remained on his homestead for a little over a year and then went to Butte, Mont., where he worked for a few years and in June, 1887, he was united in marriage to Miss Catherine Sullivan and they came to this county and took up their residence on the homestead that he had taken a few years before and where he resided continuously up to the time of his death. Mr. McCarthy leaves his wife and six children, five daughters and one son to mourn the death of a kind and affectionate husband and father. The children are: Dennis A. and Margaret, at home; Sister Mary Helen Anaconda, Mont., Mrs. Mary Doucey, of Highmore, S. D.; Mother M. Macu lata, of Buffalo, N. Y.; Sister M. Pat rica, Havre, Mont., all of whom were present at the funeral except Mother M. Maculnta and Sister M. Patrica. Mr. McCarthy was one of the pion eers of Holt county, having resided here, with the exception of a couple of years, for over a half century. During his life here he had been ex tensively engaged in the cattle busi ness, of which he had made a signal success, and the original homestead of 1MR3 has grown into a good r.izetf and well equipped ranch. He was a splendid citizen, well known and ad mir'-d by n laige circle t»f filelids slid aequaintenances. His entire life was devoted to the rare of his loyer) one* and attention to his business. He had an enviable reputation among the business men of this county, for to all of them Tim McCarthy’s word was as good as his bond and his sudden passing will be sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaint ances. The funeral was held Tuesday morn ing from the Catholic church, Rev. B. J. Leahy officiating and the funeral was very large attesting the high es teem in which the deceased was held in this community, interment in Cal vary cemetery. GOVERNMENT WILL BUY 210 CATTLE IN O’NEILL ON FRIDAY .Men Are Asked To Remain At The Yards Until Deal Is Complete, And All Papers Signed. Cattle will again be purchased for the government in O’Neill on Friday, August 17, when 210 are to be de livered at the Northwestern yards. A much larger quota for Holt county has been applied for next week. Farm ers or ranchers having cattle to sell to the government should get them listed with their respective precinct commiteemen as soon as possible. Only those having cattle in distress should be listed. The owner will then be notified when and where he is to de liver the cattle and the number given him which must not be exceeded. Upon arrival at the yards each man should stay with his cattle until they are appraised by the veterinary. Im mediately after the cattle are sold the owner should go to the office to sign his contract and should not leave until all papers are signed.. To do so only holds up all contracts and makes him an extra trip to town. Prof. H. J. Gramlich has been unable so far to get Nebraska’s quo^a increased so until he does our individual quotas will be small. Miss Marion Golden Becomes The Bride Of John W.

Harrington was run over last Wednesday morning by a car driven by James Seybold. The front wheel of the cur passed over the boy’s head, leaving the imprint of the tire on the side of his face, and the rear wheel passed over his abdomen. (After a medical examination Doctors said the child was not very badly l injured. Mr. Harrington said that no blame is attached to Mr, Seybold for the accident, and he was not at fault in the matter. It was a mir artdous eseape and the wonder is how a ear wheel could pass over a little 1 tot like* that without crknia injury, TRENCH SILO IS AN EXCELLENT METHOD OF PROVIDING FEED Both Damaged And Mature Corn Can Be Used Successfully As Silage, Refuting Other Claims. Ernest Faucher, Lancaster county farmer, didn’t wait for his neighbor* to experiment with immature corn this year for ensilage purposes. Rather he went right uhead and cut his drouth damaged corn and put it into a trench silo. Now after being there for three weeks, it looks excellent and shows no signs whatsoever of spoilage. Holt county farmers can follow Faucher’s example of putting dam aged corn into the silo for fall and winter livestock feed. Stories going around that the corn will turn to “mush” and the like are strongly re futed by Faucher who is one of the most prominent livestock ensilage feeders in Nebraska. He has used both damaged and mature com for silage. While some of his neighbors were dubious about getting the corn, Fauch er went ahead and cut his. He put it into a 600-ton trench silo which has been constructed for several years. He mixed a little straw with it, think ing it would help the quality of the silage. “There is no need for anyone to be scared of this stuff,” Faucher says, “it can and will keep. One should pack it well and he will have no trouble in feeding it. Certainly if I can get more com, I am going to fill the remainder of that big silo.” The Lancaster county farmer is sold on trench silos and believes they are even better for putting up the im mature corn than are uprights. He has two of the latter type on his farm. Bulletins on construction of trench silos are available at the County Agent’s office. Peggy McLeod Married Thursday At Omaha Omaha Bee: Miss Peggy McLeod, daughter of Mrs. Mary McLeod, will become the bride of Mark Fangman, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

CROP OUTLOOK FOR AUGUST 1 POOREST IN STATE’S HISTORY Most Crops Near A Complete Failure, And Those Which Are Not, Will Run About 25 I’er Cent. The unprecedented, drouth and crop failures have brought about the poor est August 1 crop outlook in the history of the state, says the state and federal division of agricultural statistics. Corn production is estim ated at 61,318,000 bushels as com pared to 179,613,000 bushels a month ago and deterioration has continued since August 1. Winter wheat, altho short, was not injured as badly as the oats, barley and hay crops. Most pastures are extremely poor or of no value. The forecast for corn is 51,318,000 bushels as compared with 234,689,000 bushels last year and the 6-year av erage of 230,002,000 bushels. Nearly all of the corn in the state is extreme ly poor or a complete failure. With the exception of a few scattered local ities only the northeastern and ex treme southwestern part of the state have a chance at a partial crop. A v$,st amount of the acreage has no value as forage. Much of the corn which had made sufficient growth and development is now being cut for fodder. Oats are nearly a complete failure. The average yield is estimated at only 6 bushels and the production at 8,682, 000 bushels as compared to 23,373,000 in 1933 and 74,190,000 in 1932. This crop is the poorest on record. The estimated yield of spring wheat is 4 bushels per acre and. the produc tion 1,076,000 bushels as compared with 3,312,000 in 1933. The acreage, altho smaller than that in 1933, is larger than normal. Barley with a yield of 6 bushels per acre will produce only 2,400,000 bushels as compared with 8,390,000 bushels in 1933 and 18,360,000 in 1932. The average estimated yield of po tatoes is 40 bushels per acre which is only slightly more than half of the yield estimated a month ago. The production is forecast at 6,760,000 bushels as compared, with 8,626,000 bushels in 1933. Greatly reduced pro duction is forecast even tho the acre age was considerably increased this year. The early commercial potatoes in the Kearney district are good. The farm crop is generally a failure. A considerable proportion of the pota toes in the late commercial area of western Nebraska are still capable of producing a partial crop if rain is received in the near future. Charles Beckman, of Platte, S. D„ was an O’Neill visitor last Friday on his way home from a visit with rel atives at Ewing. Thirty-five years ago Mr. Beckman taught school north west of this city and was quite well acquainted here. He has been a resid ent of South Dakota for a number of years. The next state convention of the j American Legion will he held at Grand Island, commencing Monday, August 127. The members of the Grand Is lam! post are making arrangements for splendid entertainment for the legion boys during their stay in that city. Red Bird plays Kwing next Sunday in a regular game of the Holt county league and that evening Red Bird goes to Bartlett where they will play the Martlet team under floodlight^ that night. This promises to he quit* a game and many from this rity ar* planning on going down to witness it. Judge J. A. Donohoe laid aside jud ieial cares last Tuesday and came iif here to spend a w eek or so visit ins relativrs and old lime If lends, RECORD VOTE IS POLLED AT PRIMARY WITH DEMOCRATS CASTING GREATER NUMBER Simmons And Griswold Win Out On The Republican Side, And Burke Defeats Bryan Over Two To One. “BOB” MARSH GETS RY. COMMISSION NOMINATION The 1934 primary election has gonec into the history of the state and it brought out the largest primary vote ever cast in Nebraska and by far the largest ever cast in this county. The democrats cast the heaviest vote in the primary history of this county, 3,091 voters voting the democratic ballot for United States Senator. On the republican side 2,004 voters cast their ballot for United State Senator. The vote cast for the non-political candidates was by fur the largest every cast in this county. A great deal of this interest was created by the large number of candidates for county superintendent. In this con test, Mrs. Parker was high on the ticket with a total of 1,085. In second place was Clarence J. McClure, of Stuart, with 98(5 votes, and he will be her opponent at the general election. AH of the candidates made splendid races and none of them need feel ashamed of the vote they received. In the county the unexpected hap pened and Charles VV. Bryan went down to defeat in this county for the first time since he has been running for office, and in the state at large he was simply slaughtered by the av alanche of democrat ballots, Burke leading him in the state about two and one-ty»lf to one. In the county the closest race was that between Ira Moss and Leo. T. Adams for the republican nomination for clerk of the district court. With the mail vote to count, Moss is lead ing Adams by one vote. There are about 30 republican mail votes to count. There were no close races on the balance of the republican ticket. In the contest for sheriff the nomin ation was won by H. D. Grady, leading Axel Borg by 275. This was Mr. Borg’s fist entrance into the political game and he made a splendid race. J. J. Krska, of Atkinson, won the republican nomination for county treasurer defeating A. D. Palmer by 148 votes. On the democratic ticket one of the surprises was the defeat of that old time campaigner, T. J. Coyne, by a new man in the political field, John Harrington. Harrington carried off the nomination with a majority of 290. John P. Sullivan, one of the pioneer farmers and stockmen of this county, won the democratic nomination for county assessor from a field of five candidates. He won the nomination with a majority of 267 over Ben J. McDonald, of Paddock township, his nearest competitor. In the contest for supervisor in the several districts there was more inter est shown than in that of the contests for any other office. In the first dis trict J. C. Stein won the republican nomination with a majority of 19 votes over Fred Beckwith, of Emmet. He will be opposed in the general election by Troshynski who won the democratic nomination over A1 Moler with a majority of 21 votes. In the Third district Chauncey Port er won the republican nomination with a majority over Hurley Jones of 243. John Sullivan won the democratic nomination with a majority of 222 over Joe McNichols, his nearest op ponent. In the Fifth district Rodell Hoot went down to defeat at the hands of Kzra Cook. Cook won the nomination with a majority of 238 over S. J. Starr, his nearest opponent. He will be oposed in the general election by Smith, of Inman, who won the nom ination with a majority of three votes over Seymour Harkins, of Bliss. In the Seventh district Matousek won the republican nomination with u majority of 88 votes over J. V. John son. His opponent will be Ulrich, of i Atkinson, who won the democratic nomination with a majority of 11 votes over lly Nightengale, who was , second in the field of eiuht candidates.
