Archeological Work Is
Being Done In Holt
County This Summer
With summer field work already
in full swing in the western part
of the state, the University of Ne
braska, thru Dr. E. H. Bell, as
sistant professor of anthropology,
will be excavating three important
archeological sites in the north
eastern part of the state within the
next few days. In fact, two of the
archeology parties have already
begun excavations, and the third
will start the first of next week.
This year Dr. Bell will have
crews working in the vicinities of
Ponca, O’Neill and Stanton, in di
rect charge of Steve Wimberly,
Lincoln; Perry Newell, Lincoln, and
Henry Angelino of New York City,
respectively. While the field work
is going on, the archeology labora
tories at the university will be in
full operation under the supervis
ion of Eleanor Cook, a Nebraska
graduate who has been taking ad
vanced work at the University of
Chicago the past year.
Dr. Bell will make Lincoln his
headquarters, but will be in con
stant touch with all three groups
in the field. The three student
lieutenants will send in written re
ports each day of their material, a
complete description of the location
and other information necessary to
guide the laboratory workers in
their task of classifying and rec
ording the artifacts which will be
shipped in each week.
“We are able this year to take
advantage of our advanced stu
dents and to give them the oppor
tunity of directing field parties,”
Dr. Bell stated. “It is the first
time that our archeological forces
have been fully manned. This sum
mer we will attempt to excavate
not only the larger features, but
also study the associated material
to be found in adjoining ground.
At Ponca the university forces
are working about one mile north
of the village, beginning at the top
of the bluffs and working down
ward. Actual excavating at this
location began Wednesday. New
ell’s group will be stationed about
18 miles north of O’Neill and will
be uncovering the material lying
between two small creeks. This
group started work Friday. Work
on the third site, located about
a mile east of Stanton, will begin
the first of next week.
In addition to the WPA contin
gent, three other students will be
in the field acquiring experience—
Joseph Walla, Linwood, stationed
with the Ponca force; Stanley Bar
tos, Wilber, at O’Neill, and Henry
Praus of New York university at
Stanton.—Nebraska State Journal.
Mr. and Mrs. Del Childs of Oak
dale, and Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Preece

SOUTHWEST BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
Mrs. Paul Adams and Miss Max
ine McAllister of Phoenix, Ariz.,
have been visiting their sister, Mrs.
Alfred James.
When the army of unemployed
come out arrayed in the Hon. Harry
Hopkins’ ten million dollar con
signment of new suits, that group
will have no use for second-hand
clothing, thank you. The rest of
us will have to hang onto the old
overalls while there is room for
another patch.
Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Janies came
out from Atkinson Wednesday of
last week, Mrs. James remaining
for a week at the ranch. Jess likes
to get back among the ranch folks
but had to go back the same day
this time. He missed a busy time
at the ranch Saturday when round
up and branding was in full swing.
Senator Frank Brady is develop
ing just about the swankiest home
in Atkinson. It is strictly modern
istic in outward alinement of the
stucco or concrete walls, present
ing a picture not only of archi
tectual charm but one of solid
security. The grounds are in har
mony with the building and the
senator was spreading grass seed
as I passed in view of the place
recently.
Two juveniles of the neighbor
hood got into difficulty last week.
Little Sammy Young swallowed
three pennies, from which no seri
ous results developed. Larry Ken
nedy, 4, sustained deep cuts on his
nose and upper lip by a fall and
striking a gas pipe which stuck
about a foot out of the ground
where it had been placed for a stay
to a barn door. He was taken to
Atkinson and Dr. McKee found it
necessary to take several stitches
in the little fellow’s nose. Larry
is coming along all right now.
Tom Baker, accompanied by the
writer, went to Emmet Friday for
the returns of financial nature on
his season’s stripping of blue grass
seed which had been bought by a
seed concern with drying yard and
weighing headquarters at Emmet.
The strippers came into this neigh
borhood too late to get the full
harvest as much of the seed had
fallen. At the Emmet drying yard
large quantities of seed lay piled in
long rows and was being sacked
for shipment. The stripping equip
ment was being taken to Minnesota
to gather the harvest there.
As a class the clergy is a sane
and conservative group. On rare
occasion one of them gets into
print by a publicity gesture. Since
an Omaha bishop of a great church
contacted a little unfavorable no
tice a year ago, an unknown gentle
man of the cloth back in conserva
tive New England drew the public
attention by passing up his Sunday
service hour to go fishing. Now
from the mining and cow camps of
Montana comes word of a pastor
transferring his preaching service
to Wednesday night so his congre
gation can have Sunday to go fish
ing. The great Pastor—Priest,
Prophet, King and Master of men
—called the apostles from their
fish nets to become fishers of men.
“And they forsook all and followed
Him.”
Among the treasures of no value
yet of infinite worth which the
ceaseless roll of time leaves as an
heritage to succeeding generations
1 have a stained and blackened
badge of the Grand Army of the
Republic, molded from the metal of
a captured Confederate cannon.
So, as the son of a veteran, I can
only feel as the few feeble sur
vivors of General Mead’s command
feel over the spectacle of Union
and Confederate soldiers—as such
—uniting in the common mission of
the observance of the 75th anniver
sary of Gettysburg. As citizens
of one country these old veterans
may well clasp hands anywhere,
but to meet again as soldiers of op
posing armies on the battle-scarred
slopes of Gettysburg, made sacred
by the shed blood of 60,000 of their
comrades, that is something else
again. On these hallowed hills the
doom of secession was sounded.
General Lee undertook to lay waste
the north with the army of Vir
ginia and failed at the start. Thfe
Confederacy was now on the de
fensive. Sons and daughters of
northern soldiers entertain no
sympathy with movements to per
petuate the memory of the men and
the elements which the blue-clad
cohorts of Grant, Slj'-nnan, Hooker,
Thomas and Sheridan finally
brought to bay.
In the face of forecasts of the
experts to the contrary, the Teu
tonic super-man went down to
speedy defeat at the hands of a
Cushite in the person of an Ameri
can negro. Whatever interest in
fistic exhibitions the future might
have had in store for me it was
wholly taken out by an experience
of early youth. Stepping back a
year or so previous to that experi
ence will be necessary to get the
background. At the old Tribune
office in O’Neill an evening back
in the 80’s Gus McDonough, Gus
Hanlon and two or three others
induced Frank Mann and I to “put
on the gloves.” 1 had never seen
a set of boxing gloves and probably
Frank hadn’t either. The gloves
were laced onto our youthful hands
and we faced each other like a pair
of young game cocks. We were
told to “shake hands” and then
hop to it. The handshake was
! complied with and Frank started
action by driving a blow in my di
rection but missed. By accident or
otherwise I caught him full in the
face with all I had in my right arm.
Frank reeled and saw stars. Off
came the gloves. But from that
moment I think there was inspired
in him a determination to “get me.”
Fast kid friends, riding horse races
and pals all the while, Frank was
biding his time. An then one
evening at the Checker livery barn,
Ed Thompson, promoter and ref
eree, we faced each other for the
second time with the gloves. I
saw at once that Frank had blood
in his eye. There was no mistak
ing that look—“Now, here is where
I get even." And he did.
The university of hard knocks
looms on the horizon again. Some
millions fresh from the private and
public seats of learning face a
blank wall. Scholastic attainments
when John Bland ran the O’Neill
school and Charles Manville super
vised the schools of the county
would be sniffed at today, but at
that time no kid out of school had
to hunt a job. He could go to
work any time he got enough of
it sitting at a desk in school. It
took me one winter to arrive at
that point and Prof. Bland had a
job for me on an addition he was
building to his house, just north
and across the street east from
William Froelich’s recently de
veloped residence property. Alex

DISCOVER VACCINE
TO PREVENT ANIMAL
SLEEPING SICKNESS
U. S. Bureau Of Animal Industry
Finds Method Of Controlling
Horse Disease
The U. S. Buerau of Animal In
dustry has released information
that the heavy loss from encepha
lomyelitis or sleeping sickness, an
infectous disease of horses and
mules, may be reduced by a two
dose vaccine given at least 30 days
before the disease generally ap
pears in July and reaching its peak
in August.
The vaccine, developed by the
U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry,
should be given by a veterinarian,
and is the only known way of con
trolling the disease.
Although giving the vaccine is a
job for the veterinarian, there are
several things that the farmer can
do. The disease is caused by a fil
trable virus, which may be trans
mitted by mosquitoes, flies and
other blood sucking insects. Where
the disease exists, or existed the
year before, it is advisable to stable
work animals when not working
them, and in every way protect
them against insects. How the
disease is carried from year to
year has not been definitely an
swered, although it is assumed that
certain horses and mules harbor
the virus in their bodies and be
come carriers.
Horses and mules that begin to
show symptoms of the disease
should be isolated from healthy
animals and protected from biting
insects that might transfer the
disease to healthy animals.
Sleeping sickness may be easily
confused with other diseases and
other nervous ailments bring about
similar symptoms. For this rea
son farmers should call a veterin
arian at the first indication of
sickness.
Cronin Persuaded To
File For Attorney Office
By Interested Citizens
Julius D. Cronin, veteran county
attorney who some months ago in
dicated his intention to retire from
the office to continue in private
practice, has submited to the de
mands and pressure of influential
citizens in all parts of the county,
and announced last Monday that
he would file for reelection to that
office.
His filing comes at the urgent
request of prominent Holt county
citizens in all walks of life—farm
ers, business men, professional
men, ranchers, republicans, demo
crats and just plain citizens who
are interested in good government
and level-headed administration of
one of the county’s most import
ant offices.
Never, since Mr. Cronin finished
his first term as county attorney
have the taxpayers of Holt county
had to pay out any money for
extra legal services. He has ably
taken care of all the county’s legal
needs without any outside help
and today is considered one of the
i best county attorneys in the state
! of Nebraska.
Those, who prevailed upon Mr.
Cronin to file for reelection, have
in mind the dire need of the county
for experienced legal services in
these times of rapid change, and
increasing activities in govern
ment. The services of a capable
attorney are needed by the county
board of supervisors, and other
j county officers, now more than ever
l before.—Atkinson Graphic.
County Sued For Bills
Nineteen state printing firms,
laboratories and sales companies
have filed suit in the district court
against the county of Holt to col
lect the sum of $13,673.28 alleged
to be due them for supplies fur
nished to the county prior to Jan.
1, 1938. They ask for judgment
of the above amount and costs of
suit.
Educational Notes
By Elja McCullough
The next Teachers’ examinations
will be given in O’Neill on Satur
day, July 9. There will not be
another Teachers’ examination un
til November 19.
Free high school tuition certifi
cates will be mailed to students
who have filed applications, about
the first of August. This will be
after the levy is made for that
purpose by the County Board in
July.
Wc are pleased at the good re
sponse from directors with their
annual reports. One hundred and
seventy-five reports were on file at
the required time, making only
about twenty late annual reports.
This is an unusually fine record and
although there are a few balances
that need to be corrected, Holt
county may be one of the early
counties in the state to file its
report with the state department.
Thanks again for cooperation.
County’s Small Grain
Crop Is Assured By
Rains Of Past Week
Copious rains visited Holt county
during the past week and farmers
and business men are naturally
elated, as they are now certain of a
Jhiall grain crop. Last Friday
night we had a light shower that

city, but was much heavier in the
northeastern part of the county,
measuring as much as two inches
(in the Dorsey section, according to
Supervisor Carson.
Last Tuesday morning about 3
a. m. it started raining here and
continued until about 7:45. The
precipitation when measured by
Assistant Weather Observer Elmer
Bowen showed 1.91 inches. About
9 o’clock it began raining ugnin
and continued until a little after
11 o’clock, and this rainfall meas
ured .69 of an inch, making the
total rainfall for the day 2.60
inches.
The rainfall in this city was
heavier than in the western part
of the county, but they had good
rains there, and they extended to
the extreme northern part of the
county as well as to the southern
line. Rainfall over the county
measured from an inch to 2 inches
and was a boon to pastures as well
as small grain and corn.

Commission Dismisses
Case Against Merriman
L. M. Merriman of the Merri
Beverage company, was before the
liquor commission last Wednesday,
having been cited to appear and
show cause why his wholesale beer
distributors license should not be
cancelled.
The case came on for hearing
Wednesday and after a hearing
the case was dismissed by the li
quor commission. The company
was charged with selling beer to a
person without a license. The com
mission found that the beer, while
delivered by the wholesaler to a
man without a license, was turned
over to the person for whom the
man worked, and that this person
did have a license.
