RILEY LAMBERT
WINS ANNUAL
GOLF CONTEST
[Wins From Hugh O’Donnell in
Finals of Championship Flight.
The Fifteenth Annual Invitation
Golf Tournament of the O’Neill
Country Club came to a successful
conclusion, Tuesday evening, and a
new champion of the local club was
crowmed. Riley Lambert, of Fair
fax, S. D., a young lad still in his
teens met the best and emerged vic
tor, winning from Hugh O’Donnell,
of Omaha, after a hard contest.
Ninety-seven golfers registered
for the tournament this year and
in this field Stanley Soukup, young
O’Neill boy, emerged as the medal
ist, carding a 71 or one above par,
for the eighteen holes, which is
good shooting on any man’s golf
course. It looked as if Stanley was
to be quite a contender but he was
put out of the running by Earl
Harp of Long Pine, Monday after
noon, after he had eliminated
George Lightner, one of the sharp
shooters in this section of the state,
Monday morning.
It was a very successful tourna
ment, while not as largely attended
as some former tournaments held,
every one had a good time and
thoroughly enjoyed themselves and
Were loud in their praise of O’Neill
hospitality.

VMB
CONGRESS—AS SEEN
BY A NEBRASKAN
By Karl Stefan
The war-like conditions in Europe |
and in the far-east are discussed
with much interest here. The gen
eral concensus of opinion among
house members who are willing to
talk about it openly, is that the
majority of the house members are
for a strong defense, but that there
is no likelihood of any war so far
as Uncle Sam is concerned. These
members who talk about this sub
ject say that “if” there is any war,
there will no longer be any “pro
fits” in war for anybody, and that
this Congress would vote against
any wrar except one to protect the
United States from an attack.
Any future war—if this Congress
has anything to do with it— would
result in the conscription of all the
wealth first, and manhood last
That seems to be what most of the
members say about it when they
talk about war. Most of those who
voted against big expenditures for
the army and navy during peace
time say they w'ill be the first to
vote for the most adequate defense
bill offered.
Thousands of telegrams and let
ters have come into Washington
from nearly every state, many from
Nebraska, asking and demanding
that PWA be given some of the
WPA relief money. An attempt in
the house to earmark some of the
billion and a half relief money for
PWA failed because of a parlia
mentary ruling against the amend
ment.
The president may do something
about it, but present indications are
that the entire amount will go to
WPA with instructions to use some
of it for resettlement administra
tion and also for PWA.
Farm conditions around Nash
ville and throughout Tennessee are
not so good. While the corn is
about a foot high, it had to be re
placed in many places. The farm
ers are complaining about dry
weather. They haven’t had rain for
many days.
Throughout Ohio the crops are in
excellent condition, although corn
is barely coming out of the ground.
The clover crop will be enormous,
but the wheat crop will be short,
due to a freeze.
A bill was passed by the commit
tee which will send to Puerto Rico,
four members from the senate and
four from the house, and some
other officials from Puerto Rico and
at Washington to investigate the
economic conditions in Puerto Rico
where considerable trouble has been
brewing. Demands for statehood
and demands for independence have
been made with the result that an
investigation is to be made.
Recently an American was assas
sinated in one of the principal cities
of the island.. The commissioner
from Puerto Rico, Santiago Igle
sias, is in favor of the state hood.
He says Puerto Rico could never
survive as an independent nation.
Bills by the score are being
pushed through the house because
of the close approach of adjourn
ment. Among the several confer
ence reports passed on today was
the one on construction of public
works on rivers and harbors and.
flood control, which carried many,
many items, and which called for
an agreed authorization of $300,
572,300.
Those voting against the bill did
so on the grounds that it was a bill
with considerable “pork” in it.
A desperate effort is being made
to discharge the rules committee
and get the anti-lynching bill up
for a vote before this session of
congress ends. This anti-lynching
bill, of which there are thirty or
more, is up against the same thing
the Frazier-Lemke bill was up
against. The proponents of the bill
have placed a petition on the clerk’s
desk and members are asked to
sign it. If 218 signatures are re
ceived in the next few days, the bill
will come before the house for a
vote. 192 signatures have been;
placed on the petition within the
last two days; requiring (5 more
signatures to get the bill away from
the powerful committee. The south
ern bloc is fighting this anti-lynch
ing legislation.

School Notes
We are about to organize a
study center. In order that we
may make a success of it we will
need a great deal of support.
There are no doubt, many who
would be glad to enroll in summer
study.
Two plans are offered, first, a
plan for teachers who are unem
ployed. These folks may enroll
at a rate of 75c per college hour
of credit. This course will only
apply to those who are unemployed.
The second plan is the $.‘1.00 per
hour plan. Teachers who are not
attending summer school could and
will profit by enrolling in this
course. A meeting will be held on
Tuesday, July 7, at 10 a. m., at
the court house.
Credits earned will be accepted
on certificate renewals, and it will
be possible to earn a whole or part
of the credits necessary for re
newing certificates. Those inter
ested should notify the office at
once to the effect that they are
planning upon taking up the work.
In doing this we will know how
many to expect at our meeting.
Clarence J. McClurg,
County Superintendent.
Two Surprises
There were two real surprises in
the recent tournament. One was
the early elimination of George
Lightner, of St. Edward, a former f
winner of the local title, and of
Harry Houston of Plainview, who
holds the title of three or four
clubs in this section of the state,'
two of which he won during the
last month.

in the Holiness Gospel Mission at
Niobrara, Nebr., Sunday afternoon,
June 21, when Arleen Page, 18,

Department of Commerce, census
bureau, on January 1, 1935, Nebras
ka had a farm population of 580,
694, or a decrease of 5,007 from the
farm census of April 1, 1930. An
other bulletin from the same source
gives the census on chickens, eggs,
and. turkeys in the state, for the
year 1934. According to this re
port Nebraska chickens produced
68,422,935 dozens of eggs in the
year 1934, and that during the same
year there were 24,744,895 chickens
raised in the state. Of this num
ber Holt county hens laid 892,430
dozens of eggs and they raised
389,539 chickens.
In this report Holt‘county leads
the state on the number of turkeys
on hand, over tl.ree months old, on
Januaty 1, 1935, the lumber being
6,143. The county occupying sec
ond position is another north Ne

MAN KILLTD AT
STUART BY BLOW
ON THE HEAD
Roy Hopper Dies About Ten Min
utes After He Was Hit on the
Side of the Head by Floyd
Denton, of Arapahoe.
Roy Hopper, present time part
time Deputy Sheriff of Stanton
county, Nebraska, and refriger
ation man for the Koeningstein
Tire and Battery Co., of Norfolk,
died about 8:30 Wednesday even
ing at the rear of the Eaton beer
tavern in Stuart about ten minutes
after he had been struck on the
left side of the face, just below the
eye, by Floyd Denton, of Arapa
hoe, Nebraska. The two men had
been drinking beer in the tavern
operated by Carroll Eaton at
Stuart, Nebraska, and were stand
ing at the bar when suddenly Den
ton struck Hopper with his fist
knocking him to the floor. Hop
per never regained consciousness,
dying in about ten minutes after
he had been moved to the rear of
the tavern for air.
An autopsy ordered by County
Attorney Julius D. Cronin and per
formed by Drs. Wilson and Gorrell
of Stuart and McKee of Atkinson
disclosed that death resulted from
a blood clot at the base of the brain,
probably caused by a severe blow.
An information was filed in Dis
trict court here Thursday after
noon against Denton charging
manslaughter. He was arraigned
and plead guilty late Thursday af
ternoon after the Court had ap
pointed Ralph J. Chittick, an attor
ney of Stuart, to represent bim.
Before sentence he told the Court
that he was 49 years old and was
born on a farm near Arapahoe,
Nebraska. He said he served in a
company of engineers during the
world war in which he lost his left
eye; he said he had been gassed
three times and shot with a ma
chine gun through the chest. He
readily admitted his guilt saying
he had no thought or intention of
killing or even seriously injuring
Hopper and expressed a desire to
atone for the wrong done as best
he could, saying he would serve
whatever time the court felt he was
entitled to under the circumstances
without complaint. He was sen
tteced to the penitentiary for not
less than two and not more than
three years.
From such information as we
were able to gather it appears that
the men had been drinking during
the afternoon and evening at the
tavern and elsewhere. Denton be
came intoxicated, and as a result of
a real or fancied wrong or slight
struck Hopper. Denton says that
he recalls some argument earlier
in the evening but has no rememb
rance of what occured or was said
preceding the blow. Others in the
tavern at the time heard no argu
ment and thought the two men
were visiting pleasantly.
Mothers’ Vacation Camp
It’s soon going to be vacation
time for scores of women from this
section of the state who soon will
go to Chadron, Nebr., on June 25 to
28, for their annual Mothers’ Vaca
tion camp. The first announce
ments concerning the camp have
been made.
For four days the women will
forget completely about their
household tasks. In camp they will
have no beds to make, house to
clean or children to look after. A
balanced program of recreation,
fun, inspiration and rest has been
planned. Special recreational per
iods during the day are planned
along with some handicraft work.
Each year the attendance at
these camps has increased and it
is expected that some Holt county
farm women will attend this year.
Those interested should contact
Agricultural Agent, F. M. Reece, as
soon as possible.
