BERGSTROM STARS
FOR O’NEILL HIGH
AT LINCOLN MEET
O’Neill Track Team Will Close A
Very Successful Season At
Wayne Next Saturday.
Leonard Bergstrom, hurdler and
star of the O’Neill track team won
first place in the 120 yard high
hurdles in Class B at the state
high school track and field meet at
Lincoln last Saturday. His time
was the best for the meet, bettering
the Class A time, and winning at
36.3 seconds. He was also third in
the 200 yard low hurdles.
The 1937 track squad of O’Neill
high school will drop the curtain on
their current season Saturday, May
22, at the Wayne invitation meet.
Led by Leonard Bergstrom and
Jack Vincent t'r.e 1937 squad has
added more laurels to the list than
ar.y group of their predecessors.
They started the current season
with a 62 to 60 victory in a dual
meet with Rock county high school
at Bassett on April 8. Next they
took third place among the large
number of schools competing at the
Norfolk invitation meet, finishing
behind Norfolk and York.
They won the Ericson invitation
k meet team and relay crowns, in
which twenty-six of central Ne
braska’s finest teams were partic
ipating. May 1 they annexed the
annual Holt county t *ack and field
crown with a total of 71 points, the
highest ever chalked up l y a team
in winning this meet.
The O’Neill squad also won the
Niobrara Valley conference meet
‘ on May 10 with 71 and nine-tenths
points, a new record for points in
the conference meet.
On May 15 at Lincoln, paced by
the states finest hurdlers Leonard
Bergstrom tied for sixth place in
Class B of the Nebraska champion
ships, in which fifty-six B schools
were participating. Robert Gunn,
junior half-miler turned in a 2:08
half mile to win fourth in his heat.
Jack Vincent qualified for the state
high jump finals and the relay team
composed of Leonard Bergstrom,
Jack Vincent, Clarence Benda and
Allen Spindler took second in their
heat of the 880 relay.
Leonard Bergstrom was the star
of the O’Neill team, never having
been beaten during the 1937 seas
on and winning the state gold
medal for the outstanding perform
ance in high school hurdles in the
A, B, C and D groups. He was
closely followed by Jack Vincent,
probably the most versatile athlete
ever to don the blue uniform for
| O’Neill high.
Altho the squad loses five of its
star performers this year by grad
uation, it is expected that such men
as punn, Hunt, Allendorfer, Jeffrey,
Ha’nley, Clift, L. Lorenz, M. Lor
enz, Marrow and others will be
able to keep up the track tradition
jn another year. Captain Spindler,
{ Bergstrom, Vincent, L. Spindler
and Benda graduate this spring.

Barn and Granery On
John Sullivan Place
Are Destroyed by Fire
Last Friday afternofo fire de
stroyed the barn and some other
out-buildings on the farm of Sup
ervisor John Sullivan south of this
city. Some rye that was stored in
the granery was also burned as
well as a corn sheller and some
other farm machinery.
His little granddaughter, Patrica
Sullivan, 4, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Dan Sullivan, was playing
with matches in the barn and ac
cidently set the place afire. She
was rescued from the barn by her
uncle, John Sullivan, Jr., after she
had suffered a few burns on the
body. The O’Neill fire department
responded to the alarm but arrived

worth of insurance on the barn, the
granery and the farm machinery
not being insured.

tee »nd he has secured Craig Cissel

Jury Finds O'Connell
Guilty of Perjury
The jury in the case of the
State of Nebraska vs. Cornelius
O’Connell, who was on trial in the
district court the forepart of the
week, returned a verdict Wednes-|
day afternoon, about two hours
after the case had been submitted,
finding the defendant guilty of the j
offense as charged. The defend-1
ant has three days in which to file
a motion for a new trial and if that
is denied he can appeal to the su
preme court.
Mr. O’Connell was charged with
perjury in the testimony given in
the district court last March when
his son was on trial for participat
ing in the theft of some liquor from
an Atkinson liquor store. At the
conclusion of that case Judge Dick
son, from the bench, directed the
county attorney to bring action
against Mr. O’Connell for perjury
and he was arrested a few days
later, arraigned in the county court,
waived preliminary hearing and
was bound over to the district
court.
The principal evidence presented
by the defense in the case this week
was given by Mr. O’Connell and his
two children, a son and daughter,
and was substantially the same as
that given by Mr. O’Connell and his
children in the trial of the son last
March. They alleged that the son
was at home the morning of No
vember 24, 1936, and therefore
could not have been where the
state witnesses testified he was, at
Page and later at Norfolk. The
state had witnesses who testified
that they had seen George O’Con
nell at Page and at Norfolk on the
morning of Nov. 24, 1936, and later
on the same day at the latter place.
The case occupied the attention
of the court for the greatest part
of three days, starting Monday
morning with the empaneling of a
jury and the case being submitted
to the jury a little after 2 o’clock
Wednesday. This was the only
case to be tried to a jury at the
present time.
The County Attorney conducted
the prosecution while Judge J. J.
Harrington represented the defense.
Today We Start the
Fifty-eighth Year
Today The Frontier publishes
the first edition of its fifty-eighth
year. It is one of the oldest news
papers in the state and has served
this community since a short time
after it founding, having been es
tablished by the late W. 1). Mat
thews. He had come here from
Wisconsin, and a bit discouraged
at the sight of the town, was
about ready to return to the Badger
state when he heard that Tom
Smith, publisher of the Holt County
Record had offered to bet a sub
stantial sum that the Wisconsin
tenderfoot would not dare start a
paper here. This aroused “Doc”
Matthews’ ire and in July, 1880,
The Frontier was launched, soon
taking the lead in the Holt county
field, which it has held to this day.
There are a good many of the
descendants of the original sub
scribers on our list, both in this
county and elsewhere thruout the
world. There still remain a few
who have been on our subscription
list for half a century.
Friends and neighbors gathered
at the home of Mrs. S. Zakezewski
Sunday, May 16, to help here cele
brate her birthday. Those present
were: Mr. and Mrs. William H.
Podany and daughter, Mary Lou;
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Dietsch; Mr. and
Mrs. Delbert Carl; Mrs. Lee Berg
lund; Mrs. Kate Mudloff; Miss
Emma Berglund; Miss Suzanna
Mudloff, Bud Laman, Harvey Krug
mann, Harold Berglund, Gene and
Tony Mudloff and Kenneth Berg
lund. The entire evening was spent
by playing cards. A midnight lunch
was served consisting of ice cream
and cake. The crowd left about
1 o’clock having had a fine time and
wishing Mrs. Zakrzewski many
more happy birthdays.
Dr. and Mrs. F. J. Kubitschek
left last Sunday for Omaha where
the Doctor will attend the annual
meeting of the Nebraska Dental
association, being held in that city
the first four days of this week.
While the Doctor is attending the
convention Mrs. Kubitschek will
put in her time visiting relatives
and friends.
FIRE WEDNESDAY EVENING
NEARLY DESTROYS LOCAL
ARMOUR CREAMERY PLANT
I^eft Wing of Building Gutted and Large Quantity of
Eggs Lost In Fire That Did An Estimated
Damage of Nearly $75,000.00.
Fire, which started in the boiler
room, gutted the $100,000 plant of
the Armour Creameries in this city
Wednesday afternoon and night,
entailing a loss that is estimated
at from $50,000 to $75,000. Insur
ance on the company’s properties
is looked after by the Chicago office
but Mr. Myhre, the local manager,
^aid he believed that the loss was
fully covered by insurance.
About 6:45 last evening the fire
whistle sumoned the firemen to the
call of duty and when it was learn
ed that the fire was in the Armour
plant hundreds of the citizens of
the city rushed to the scene of the
fire. The fire started in the boiler
room, on the north side of the
building, about thirty feet from the
northwest corner of the building
and it burned fiercely for several
hours, not being completely con
quered by the fire department until
after midnight last night.
Employees of the firm are at a
loss to account for the cause of the
fire. A couple of men were work
ing in a room adjacent to the boiler
room, until 5:40 last evening, when
they completed their days work.
When they reached the main floor
one of them said he smelled smoke
and went to investigate. He dis
covered a fire in the engine room
and while he went and gpabbgd the
fire extinguishers that wjpre in the
plant the other rushed for the tele
phone to summon the fire depart
ment, who promptly responded to
the call.
When the department . reached
the scene smoke was pouring from
the building. The department was
not hampered by the lack of water
and thousands of gallons were
poured on the fire. In the west
side of the building there were
thousands of egg cases and egg
case ingredients and they contin
ued to smolder for hours, until
shortly after midnight when the
department finally conquered the
stubborn blaze. It was one of the
toughest fires to fight ever seen in
the city. Three of the members of
the department remained on duty
at the plant all night, keeping a
watchful eye on the charred
embers.
The fire burned thru the ceiling
of the basement and wrecked most
of the main floor in the west sec
tion of the building. By opening
all windows a good southeast wind
helped to keep the fire from work
ing to the southeast. About an
hour and a half after the fire start
ed it had caught in the elevator
shaft and in another half hour
had burned thru to the roof.
Fire from the first floor moved
up along the north and west walls
to the ceiling but only broke thru
the roof on the west side in the
center of the building. By nine
o’clock the fire was under con
trol and had ceased to spread.
With aid of trucks, and men who
pitched in and helped, all crate
material, office supplies and fixtures
and other supplies were removed
from the east wing of the building
which housed the offices. The safe
was the only piece remaining in
the building. Crate material, chick
ens and supplies were loaded onto
boxcars at the Burlington depot.
There were 10,000 pounds of
cheese and 14,000 pounds of dressed,
chickens and turkeys in the coolers.
They have not been inspected as yet
but from outside appearances it is
believed they suffered no damage.
Manager Myhre is of the opinion
that at least all of the northwest
corner of the north side of the
building will have to be rebuilt.
The first ffoor burned away on the
north side and crates and other
machinery dropped into the base
ment. There were 800 cases of
eggs in the basement that were
destroyed, some chickens as well as
a lot of machinery. Workmen are
busy this morning clearing away
the debris and until a complete
inventory is made it will be impos
sible to estimate the financial loss
caused by the fire but it is estim
ated that it will run between $50,
000 and $75,000.
Officials of the company from the
east are expected to arrive in the
city some time today to inspect the
ruins. Manager Myhre says they
have been enjoying a very nice
business and he is of the opinion
that the plant will be at once re
built, but nothing definitely will be
known until after the arrival and
inspection of the officials.
Citizens of this city, county, as
well as several surrounding coun
ties, are hopeful that the plant will
be rebuilt, as it was about the most
properous business in the city and
furnished the farmers and poultry
raisers of this section of the north
west a good reliable market for
their products.
The main building of the plant,
which was damaged by fire, was.
81x120 feet, a story and a half
high with a full basement. The
building was erected in 1926 at a
cost of about $100,000, and has.
been in successful operation here
since that time. During the busy
season, the months of October, No
vember and December, they employ
about 70 in the plant and their pay
roll runs around $1,200 a week.
Their payroll the year around will
average about 45 persons, 35 being
on the payroll at the time of the
fire.
The office part of the building;
the wooden building just east and
joining the main plant, was not
damaged by fire, although all office
records were removed from tht*
building to the hatchery building
about 100 feet north of the main
building. The basement of this
part of the plant was also filled
with supplies and they were un
damaged.
_
Preparing Used Car Lot
The Miller Bros. Chevrolet com
pany have rented the back end of
the lots on which the K. C. hall
building stands and have erected
thereon a used car sale yard. They
have fenced the space, 45x60 feet
with an eight foot fence on the
east and north sides of the lot;
starting north from the building on
the west they will have a wire net
ting, eight feet high, on both sides
of the entrance gates, with a four
foot advertising panel along the
top. The yard will be supplied with
flood lights and will add much to
the attractiveness of Third street.
Brother George is gaining quite
a reputation as a descriptive writer,
especially when dealing with ep
idemics. While the language used
in his article last week, in describ
ing an epidemic, was rather un
couth and jarring, there was no
question in the mind of the reader,
at the conclusion of the article,
that the expurgation of the pa
tients interior did not bring relief.
Driving Over Fire Hose
May Cause Arrest
During the fire Wednesday night,
hundreds of residents drove in
cars down to see the blaze. A great
many of these drivers paid no at
tention to the hose lines and re
peatedly drove over them. There
is a severe penalty for this offense
and the city officials desire to warn
residents and others that hereafter
people caught driving over hose,
lines at a fire will be arrested and
prosecuted. A man living in the
south part of the county was ar
rested for doing this Wednesday
night, but as he said that he was
ignorant of the fact that he was
not supposed to do it, he was re
leased. Be careful in the future.
Mr. and Mrs. William Barnard
of Casper, Wyo., arrived in the city
last Saturday on their way home
from a business trip to Detroit,
Mich., and visited here over night
at the home of Mr Rarnard’s sister,
Mrs. C. E. Yantzi. They left for
their Wyoming home Sunday.
