Auto Accidents Show
Increase Last Week
During the week ending July 31,
there was an increase in accidents
of all kinds except accidents in in
dustry in Nebraska, according to
the reports received by the State
Department of Public Instruction
and the Nebraska Press association.
There were 114 motor vehicle
accidents which resulted in 124 in
juries, five disabilities and nine
deaths. This number of accidents
is nine more or approximately nine
per cent more than occurred the
preceding week.
One of the deaths was caused by
an automobile plunging over an
* embankment after a rear tire blew
out, five deaths were caused by col
lisions, two by automobiles strik
ing pedestrians, and one by a driv
er failing to see a sign which warn
ed him to make a detour. Two of
the disabilities were caused by
automobiles hitting pedestrians;
one of these cars was driven by a
( hit-and-run driver. The other dis
abilities were caused by a driver
losing control of his car, a car driv
ing into a ditch, and a man being
crushed by tjie wheels of a truck
as he stepped from it.
Twelve of the injuries resulted
from tire blowouts, twenty-one
drivers lost control of their cars,
one car was ditched by a passing
car, eleven carh hit obstructions,
and seven cars struck pedestrians.
Fifty-six injuries were caused by
collisions, one by a car striking a
parked car, and thirteen by mis
cellaneous accidents.
Four drivers involved in acci
dents were specifically reported as
intoxicated. One who seriously in
jured a pedestrian was arrested and
booked on charges of “reckless
driving and leaving the scene of
accident.” His bond was fixed at
$1,500. A second crashed into a
parked car. He is held on charges
of “drunken driving.” A third is
described as “going at seventy
miles an hour when he tried to
make a turn. The car turned end
over, alighting squarely on its top,
after hitting the outside of the
paving and careening into the
y ditch. It was very thoroughly and
" completely wrecked and how the
man escaped alive is a mystery.
Consequences were three broken
ribs; other conditions not deter
mined.” A fourth drunken driver
drove his car onto the sidewalk.
There wrere five hit-and-run driv
ers during the week. Two were
apprehended.
^ Other public accidents totaled
118 during the week. Sixty-nine
v/ere injured, four disabled and six
killed. Three of the deaths were
caused by drowning, one by a gun
being accidentally discharged, one
by a man being caught between two
street cars, and one by an airplane
crash. One of the disabilities was
caused by a gun being accidentally
discharged and the others by the
airplane crash, a grasshopper in
juring a lady’s eye, and a man fall
ing from a window. Five of the
injuries were from burns, twenty
seven from falls, thirteen from ac
cidents while engaged in games and
spdrts. Others were caused by
cuts and bruises. Two people were
bitten by dogs, one child ran a fish
hook into his finger, one man was
struck by lighting, and one was
injured when he rolled down some
steps while asleep on an embank
ment.
There were 115 accidents on the
farms in Nebraska in which seven
ty-four people were injured, three
probably disabled, and two were
killed. One of the deaths was
caused by being injured by a
boiler exploding and one by a run
away team. One of the disabilities
was caused by being injured by a
tractor and the other two by farm
ers being kicked by a horse and
by a colt. Three of the injuries
were caused by burns, thirteen by
falls, seventeen by machinery,
twenty-two by horses and cattle,
and nineteen others by being hit
by a hammer, the explosion of a
can of cream, a wheat beard strik
ing the eyeball, a man’s shoulder
being pierced by a pitchfork tine,
etc. There were many fires caused
by lightning, which resulted in loss
of property but no loss of life.
This week only twenty-three ac
cidents occurred in the industrial
field. Nineteen people were in
jured and one killed. The death
was caused by an employee of a
light plant coming in contact with
a 13,000 volt transmission line. The
injuries were caused by burns, falls,
machinery, two train accidents, an
electric fan falling and striking an
employee, cuts, etc.
Thirty-five accidents occurred in
homes; twenty-two people were in
jured. One man was killed by a
gasoline explosion. Eight people
were injured by fires and burns and
nipe by falls. One very small
child drank some gasoline, one
child was injured when the lightn
ing struck a pump handle, two
small children caught their hands
in washing machine wringers, and
one child stepped on a needle.

last week from D. J. Harrington,
now residing at Los Angeles, Cal.,
announcing the death of Edward
McBride at his home in Los Angeles
on July 28th at the age of 84 years,
of a heart attack.
Mr. McBride was a resident of
this city for many years and for
years was an employee of the late
O. O. Snyder in the lumber yard.
He left here about twenty years
ago moving to California where he
had made his home since.
Mr. Harrington says that he and
family are getting along nicely and
that he has been for years an em
ployee of the Western Department
stores. He desired to be remem
bered to all his old O’Neill friends.

CONGRESS

Norris Makes Recovery
Dr. Calver, the House physician,
informs members that he has word
from Wisconsin regarding the phy
sical condition of Senator George
Norris of Nebraska. The House
doctor is quoted as saying that
Norris has recovered his usual
health and is up and around and
enjoying working in his garden
outdoors at his Wisconsin home.
Per Capita Debt Is $436
The taxpayer’s debt is close to
the forty billion dollar mark. Re
ducing it to the debt of each person
of our country, it will amount today
close to $436 per person. Eight
years ago that debt was around
$277 per capita. This debt question
is what is worrying a lot of the
financial experts here. That is one
reason for the President’s orders to
cut ten per cent of the federal ex
pense, an order against which all of
Washington seems to be protesting
today.
Praise For Ex-Governor Weaver
The House today passed a Pan
ama canal bill which has to do with
the rates and tonnage of ships go
ing thru the canal. This new rate
bill is the result of an investigation
in the canal zone by an American
commission of which former Gov
ernor Weaver of Nebraska was a
member. Mr. Weaver collaborated
in a very exhaustive report on the
canal problem. During the debate
on this bill, the former Nebraska
governor came in for many com
plimentary remarks for his untiring
efforts on behalf of inland water
ways, a problem on which he has
become an expert.
Restore Ray For Jurors
Jurors who serve on federal court
juries will get $4.00 a day instead
of $3.00 a day if the Senate passes
the bill which the House passed
Thursday. The House feels that
$4.00 a day for jurors on federal
juries is reasonable. The price was
cut to $3.00 per day in the economy
act and the new bill merely returns
to the old $4.00 per day rate.
Washington Unemployment
The unemployment problem in
Washington is serious. A law stu
dent was picked up in front of the
White House yesterday in an un
conscious condition. Physicians
said he was starving. In the hos
pital this law student who came
from a western state said he had
been trying to get work and had
spent his last cent for food during
the week. Notwithstanding the fact
that a hundred thousand or more
people have fine jobs here, there are
hundreds who daily call at the local
charity offices for food and lodging.
To Be Less “Wrestling” In Dancing
For the last two weks the danc-'
ing masters of this country have
been holding their annual conven
tion here. Thousands of these danc
ing teachers—most of them women
—have been holding meetings and j
putting out a lot of publicity about
how good it is for the human being l
to dance. These teachers of dancing
tell the public that the new fangled
dances are all right in a way but
their leaders say that the old time
waltz and old-time two-step are
coming back and that less wrestling
will be seen in the better dancing
places in the not too far future.

CATTLE LOSSES BY
ANTHRAX IN THIS
COUNTY ARE FEW
Committeemen Appointed For The
Northern Half of County For
Disposing of Losses.
Reports of anthrax outbreaks in
Holt county have been greatly ex
aggerated and have caused many
farmers and ranchers much un
necessary uneasiness. While it is
true that some cattle have died in
the north central part of the coun
ty only a few authentic cases are
on record. All cases that have been
definitely diagnosed as anthrax
have had their premises quarantin
ed so that no stock may be moved.
The county has not been quaran
tined as a whole and it probably
will not be unless the outbreak
becomes more severe. If the county
should be quarantined it would
mean that stock could be moved
anywhere within the quarantined
area but could not be taken out.
A large part of Holt county is still
clean and the area having the most
cattle is as yet uneffected. If the
county were to be quarantined this
section would not have near the
protection they now have.
It is urgently requested that
stock dying from anything which
might be anthrax be immediately
burned. The county is assisting
the state in patroling bridges and
have a special deputy sheriff to
supervise the burning of carcasses
in the effected area. A federal
veterinarian is now located in
O’Neill to check cases which may
be anthrax. It is felt everything
is being done than can be, and that
the next few days will determine
the extent of the outbreak.
Anthrax committeemen for the
northern half of Holt county have
been appointed to report all live
stock losses so that the carcasses
may be disposed of to the satisfac
tion of the sanitation authorities.
These committeeman have been ap
pointed to serve without pay and
they are only to assist in trying to
keep the outbreak from spreading.
Cooperation of everyone in the
county in reporting losses to these
men will be greatly appreciated.
The committeemen are:
Antelope: C. M. Stevens and
Frank Carsten, Page.

Former Resident Is
Here From South
O. E. Ott, for many years a resid- j
ent of this county, but who now is
a resident of Tennessee, arrived in
the city last Thursday evening for
several weeks visit with his son,
L. A. Ott, northeast of O’Neill,
and with other relatives and old
friends here. Mr. Ott was one of [
the early residents of the county,
living northeast of this city. In
1915 he left the county and moved
to Tennessee and farmed for sev
eral years in Dixou county, where
he still owns a farm.
Mrs. Ott died four years ago and
since that time 0. E. has put in his
time with fris children in different
parts of the country. He informed
us that he. was astonished at the
improved appearance of this city
and could hardly believe that he
was in O’Neill when they drove in
here last Thursday eevning, as the
paving of the streets and the new
buildings erected since he left here
twenty-two years ago have made a
great change in the appearance of
the town.
General Decline In Prices
Of Livestock Shown On
Tuesdays Atkinson Sale
Atkinson, Aug. 10. — Anxiety
over the corn crop outcome and
sharply lower prices elsewhere
around the circuit enforced a break
in the cattle market of 25 to 50
cents a hundred.
With supplies fairly liberal, the
cattle market was rather spotted
at Tuesday’s auction. About 1000
cattle were sold, with only the very
best feeding steers escaping a
price decline of 25 to 50 cents, and
in some instances even more.
Eastern Nebraska and Iowa
feeders who attended the sale ex
pressed concern about the present
dry weather having an adverse
effect on the corn crop and con
sequently were reluctant to bid up
as freely as recently. Last weeks
break at River markets was also
a depressing factor.
Representative sales:
Heavy feeding steers 8.80 to 10.80
Best two year old
steers at 8.00 to 9.00
Fair to good 2-year-old
steers at 6.50 to 7.50
Choice yearling steers 7.00 to 8.00
Fair to good yearling
steers at 6.00 to 7.00
Good fleshy heifers 6.00 to 7.50
Fair to )|ood heifers 5.50 to 6.00
Best fat cows 6.00 to 7.25
Good butcher cows 5.00 to 5.50
Canners and cutters .‘1.25 to 4.50
Bulls all weight 5.00 to 6.00
As for some time recently the
hog run was very light with about
200 head being offered. All weights
were in good demand at fully steady
prices. Top at 12.40 to 12.60; sows
at 10.50 to 11.50; feeder pigs all
weights at 12.00 to 14.00 a hundred.
Next auction Tuesday, August
17, at 1 p. m.

Who or What
Boosted Prices?
The state levy for the year has
been set at 2.64 mills, an increase
of .88 of a mill over that of a year
ago. Like the federal government
state taxes are going up, while the
income of the farmers of the state
has been stationary, in fact prac
tically no income at all in this sec
tion of the state during the past
three years. But, they tell us that
farm prices have increased until
they are up to the 1928 level, as
the prices of farm products, includ
ing cattle and hogs have increased
with rapidity during the past few
months. What good is the increase
when the farmers have none to sell ?
According to the report of the
various county assessors of the
state Nebraska has otdy about one
fourth of the hogs we had in 1928,
or a little over 7,000,000 as against
over 29,000,000 in 1928. No matter
what the price if the farmers have
no hogs how can they benefit by
the high prices. We know many
farmers in this county who were
real hog raisers in the olden days
and never had less than 76 to 160
head of hogs. Now they have none.
Three straight crop failures forced
them to dispose of their hogs, as
they were unable to buy feed for
them. Henry Wallace’s shortage
program and the drouth eliminat
ing the corn crop in this county the
past three years and over prac
tically the entire state last year,
brought the hog market up, be
cause the hogs are not in the
country, although occasionally you
will find a new dealer who is hold
ing a job or expecting to get one,
claims the administration is re
sponsible for the increased prices
for farm products.
Beef prices are also very high
but unless the dreaded scourage
of cattlemen, anthrax, is controlled,
it too will help the mounting price
of beef. Let us hope that the
scourage is stamped out without
serous damage to the many herds
of cattle in this county.
Soil Conservation
On August 3, measuring the con
serving acres for payment on the
1937 gralnts was started. The
county was first divided into nina
teen districts, and a farm reporter
appointed from each district, with
one captain to keep the work uni
form. The captains duty is to
contact each man twice a week,
take up work sheets and return
any that have errors and also check
some fields after each man.
It is hoped to have the Work
finished this month. Then, before
Oct 1, there will be another check
up by the local committeemen for
final compliance and it is hoped to
have checks by Christmas.
Youth Hurt In Runaway
Marvin, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs.
George Van Every, received num
erous scratches and bruises Wed
nesday while raking hay on the
John Miller farm 6 miles west Qf
O’Neill. A team of mules which
he was working ran away and he
was thrown into a barbed wire
fence. He suffered no fractures
but was badly cut and bruised.
Mr. and Mrs. John Frenking and
children came up from Omaha last
Friday for a visit with relatives
and friends here. Mr. Frenking
returned to Omaha Sunday after-1
noon, while Mrs. Frenking and!
children remained here for a weeks
visit.
Ernest Nelson and wife, the
former Helen Reardon, left Mon
: day for their home at Omaha after
' a week here visiting at the home
of Mrs. Nelson’s parents, and with
friends.
Anton Toy left last Sunday morn
ing for St. Louis, Mo., to purchase
his fall and winter stock of mer
chandise. He is expected to return
home the end of the week.
DEATH TAKES ONE
OF THE COUNTY’S
EARLY PIONEERS
Funeral Services For Mrs. Bridget
Gallagher Will Be Held Here
Saturday Morning
Mrs. Bridget Gallagher died at
her home in the northeastern part
of the city Wednesday evening
about 7 o’clock, after an illness of
several years, at the advanced age
of 86 years, 6 months and 18 days.
Funeral services will be held from
the Catholic church in this city
next Saturday morning at 9 o’clock
and burial in Calvary cemetery.
Despite her advanced years Mrs.
Gallagher enjoyed good health and
was very active until November,
1933, when she fell and fractured
her hip, and since that time she
had been bedfast.
Bridget Erwin was born on Au
gust 11, 1851, at Pittston, Pa.,
where she grew to womanhood. On
January 17, 1868, she was united in
marriage to Michael Gallagher the
ceremony being performed at
Scranton, P. Ten years later, in
August, 1878, they came to this
county and this has been her home
ever since, fifty-nine years.
Mr. and Mrs. uauagner uvea just
east of this city for a few years
after their arrival in the county
and then moved south of the Elk
horn, later disposing of their place
there and purchasing the farm just
southeast of this city, just north of
the Elkhorn, where the family re
sided for many years until 1902
when they moved to this city, which
had since been her home.
Mrs. Gallagher was the mother
of nine children, six sons and three
daughters, one daughter and three
sons survive to mourn the passing
of a kind and affectionate mother.
There are also left 17 grandchild
ren and four great grandchildren.
Her children are: Mrs. Baker,
Cheyenne, Wyo.; Dr. J. C. Gallag
her, Rossford, Ohio; Dr. J. F. Gal
lagher, St. Louis, Mo.; Dr. E. E.
Gallagher, LaCrosse, Wis., all of
whom will be present at the funer
al services.
Mrs. Gallagher was one of the
real pioneers of the county. When
she came here with her husband
and little family in August, 1878,
houses were few and far between
and O’Neill—O’Neill City in those
days—boasted of two buildings.
She went thru all the hardships and
privations of the early days and
lived to see the little town, which
they had selected for their home,
grow into one of the hustling and
outstanding little cities of north
eastern Nebraska.
When the family lived on their
place down the river the Gfdlagher
home' was the mecca of all the
young folks in the early nirfeties,
as they were always assured of a
hearty welcome from Mrs. Gal
lagher and her genial husband, who
died in 1916, as well as the other
members of her family. She pos
sessed a charming manner and al
ways made her guests feel that
they were honoring her and her
family by visiting them, and always
told visitors on their departure that
they must call again soon. She
loved her family and her friends
and her passing will be regretted
by all of the old timers of the
county who had the honor of her
acquaintance.
The Weather
The weather the past week has
been hot and sultry during the day
but cools off considerably during
the night. No moisture during the
week but a little fell in the south
eastern part of the state Tuesday
evening. It is cloudy and cool this
morning and looks as if we might
get some rain, but it is not pre
dicted by the weather bureau. Holt
county needs another good rain to
put the corn crop in good condition.
