When You and I Were Young —
Deaths, Hardship, Electric
Phenomena in Great B.izzard
60 Years Ago
January 19. 1888
Several person report a pe
culiar elect ical phenomena
during the recent blizzard. Rev.
D. C. Winship, on going into
the kitchen without a light,
noticed a peculiar sound, and
looking toward the stove from
which it seemed to emanate,
he discovered bright sparks
apparently of elect icity. An
examination revealed the fact
that the stovepipe had slightly
separated and the sparks were
passing from one part to the
other- It was found by plac
ing a finger in the space that
the current was unpleasantly
st.ong. On uniting the pipe
a distinct charge of electucity
was elicited by touching it
with the finger. Similar tests
revealed the fact that a heavy
current of electricity was pass
ing on the pipe of each of
three stoves.
Miss Nellis Brown, who
is teaching school west of
Inman, stayed in the school
house. keeping the children
with her the night of the
storm. A number of other
teachers throughout the co
unty did the same, the best
thing under the circumstan
ces that could have been
done.
Fourteen deaths are known
to have occurred in the coun
ty so far and there are pos
sibly one or two more, yet
we hope not. Including two
in other counties we report
16 deaths from freezing dur
ing the recent storm.
The tram that was block
aded at Emmet last Thu sday
morning arrived in O’Neill
Saturday morning. The pas
sengers were glad enough to
get away from their “prison”
and tell some great stoiies of
their expet ience. They were
obliged to cut and burn the
seats for fuel and they al
most vran out of grub.
At a. recent bank meeting
of the First National bank,
the following o'ficers were e
lected: W. G. Palmantcer,
president; M. Flannigan, vice
president; E. S. Kelly, cash
ier; Finley Lyon, assistant
cashier. ' These gentlemen and
the following additional per
sons constitute the board of
directors: Miss Mary Hecker,
Frank Van Liew, W. W. Stew
art and Robert Wormald- The
bank had a prosperous year
in 1887 and the year just open
ing promises to be equally so.
50 Years Ago
January 20. 1889
How time does fly! While
passing down the street the
other day we noticed a sign,
“Valentines.” and the sight
of it reminded us again that
time, urged on by the spur of
the moment o~ something pise,
is truly fleeting. It seems but
a few days since our Fourth
of July headache; then came
Thanksgiving indigestion; then
a financial st ingency at Christ
mas, followed by New Year’s
resolutions which are long sin
ce broken. It will soon be
Fourth of July and Thanks
giving and Christmas and New
Years again, and thus the
world wags away. Pope had
the situation sized up about
right when he said that man
had iust about suf icient time
on this earth to look about
him and to die.
Mar ied yesterday was Ste
phen Vauch and Miss Mollie
Nitz of Leigh. Mr. Vauch 13
from Emmet where he is en
gaged in farming and stock
raising. The couple will make
their home of the farm.
Tom Tierney made a trip
out to Joe McCaffrey’s ranch
during the storm Monday. It
happened in this way: Dom
inick McCaffrey was in the
city and in a crowd spoke of
it being a pretty tough ride
out. Andy Morgan, who lives
in the vicinity of the ranch,
spoke up and said it was a
pretty bad trip. Tom Tierney
remarked that the boys were
tenderfeet to be afraid of *
day like that. Morgan said,
“Huh, I’ll bet you five dollars
you don’t dare drive it.” Tier
ney produced his little old
well-stuffed wallet, put up the
money, hitched up his team
and started. He was to re
turn by 12 o’clock that night
and bring a note from McCaf
frey certifying that he had
been there. The distance to
the ranch is 20 miles, through
a sparsely settled country, but
Tom made the trip and had
time to spare.
25 Years Ago
January 17. 1823
At a recent meeting of the
school, board it was decided to
add a comme cial course to the
present course of study in the
public school. The course will
consist of bookkeeping, short
hand and typewriting. John
H. Po ter has been employed
to teach the subjects. It lias
be come almost a necessity to
teach good business methods
in town schools
Omaha Daily News: V. S.
Marshal Dennis Cronin is
back from an official trip lo
Washington after an inter
view with President Calvin
Coolidge. "The president is
greatly interested in agricul
tural conditions out here,"
Cronin said, "and he appear
ed well posted on the situa
tion. Coolidge asked many
questions and said he felt
that improvements in farm
ers' affairs would continue."
Stuart Advocate: Tuesday
morning a scene unparalleled
in the annals of Stuart was
viewed by many of our towns
men. A magnificent mini c
made plainly visible the Rocky
Mountains hund<eds of mile
away. They appeared so nai
ural that it seemed that one
had but to go to the west edg
of town to start climbing. Tin
was no cloud formation no
fake. It was a real mirage and
the actual image of tho tat 1>
Rockies appeared in the sky.
A train pulling into Newpoit
was plainly visible. On th
south Rurwell could be seen
in the sky.
Such mirages are v; ry ai :■
and accompany peculiar
mospheric conditions when the
light, tempe ature and humi ii
ty must l>e in a proper bal
ance.

Grand Duke’s Hunt
One of State’s Colorful
Sporting Events
Seventy-six years ago this I
January the new.-papers of
Nebraska wire filed with ac- j
counts of one of the most spec- I
tacular sporting exhibitions
ever produced in the history
of the state — the great bur- j
falo hunt of the Grand Duke
Alexis, son of Alexander II,
Czar of Russia.
The Grand Duke was in
America on a goodwill tour,
and someone decided that no
trip to America would be com
plete without looking at the
wild and woolly west. So Gen.
Philip Sheridan of Civil war
fame arranged to conduct the
Grand Duke on a buffalo
hunt in western Nebraska.
The arrival ol the royal
entourage in Omaha enroute
to the buffalo fields was the
signal for a hilarious celebra
tion in Nebraska's metropolis.
The Grand Duke was dined
and wined at the home of
Ex.-Gov. Alvin Saunders and
as soon as the dinner was
completed the public rushed
in to meet the Prince.
And a gaily assorted public
it was, too. Everything from
young men in full dr^ss. to n v
shaven and unwashed fron
tiersmen with their trouse s
stuffed in the tops of their
boots.
When the Prince’s train pul
led out of the station in Oma
ha shortly after 3 a.m. the
visiting dignitary was tendered
a last gesture of weste:n hos
pitality when someone in the
crowd called out, “goodbye
Alex.”
Finally the special train ar
rived at North Platte and the
party set out for its hunting
grounds on the Red Willow.
It took half-a dozen wagons
and ambulances, a score of
‘saddle horses and a company I
pf cavalry to get the group
to its hunting camp.
When they arrived they to- ■
und the famous Indian Chief
Spotted Tail and his braves
waiting for them. That night ,
the Indians put on a war dance
for the. Grand Duke which was
so realistic that it sent shivers
up the spines of the soldiers
watching the demonstration.
Too many of them had suffer
ed the consequences of the |
real thing.
The next morning, with
Buffalo Bill leading the way.
the Grand Duke went in
search of his buffalo. He
finally came upon an old
bull and, getting almost close
enough to touch him with
his gun, he fired. Needless
to say, he got his buffalo.
The next day he got another
— this at a hundred yards
with a heavy Navy revolver.
This ended the hunt and the
party < turned to the rail
road to ’ e carried back to
civilization.
Any who are interested in
reading further will find a
carefully detailed and highly
intcr* tiny account in “Pion
oes, Indians and Buffaloes”
by, Judge Bayard II. Paine,
of the Nebraska state supreme
court.
