When You and I Were Young —
Counterfeit Coins May Have
Been Made by Local Talent
GO YEARS AGO
March 1. 1888
Last Friday while Joe Mil
ler and Will Crotter were
working in the old Wilcox
lumber yard they found about
a dozen counterfeit 10-cent
pieces. They were of the
years 1886 and 1887. pretty
well executed, but readily de
tected if one took a second
look at them. One of them
was quite imperfect and had
a piece of metal clinging to
it where it ran into the molds.
It had been thought for some
time that counterfeit money
was being made here and this
find rather confirms the ru
mor. Some time ago Dr. Mor
ris found a number of quar
ters at the rear of his barn.
A. H. Corbett has purchased
McCoy’s photograph gallery
and will continue the business
at the old stand. He will re
move his dental office to the
parlor of the same building
and run the two in connec
tion. The doctor’s well-known
promptness and methodical
way of doing business w;ill in
sure the public satisfaction in
all respects.
It is desired that the bus
iness men and citizens of
O'Neill, who are interested
in her future prosperity and
advancement, meet at the
law office of M. F. Harring
ton Friday evening for the
purpose of organizing a
board of trade or association
of some kind, whose object
shall be the furtherance of
the general interest of the
town.
Atkinson Graphic: Messrs.
Butterfield and Hornbeck, who
are boring for coal on the lat
ter's place about 23 miles
north of here, were in town
yesterday endeavoring to work
up an interest in their enter
prise among our business men.
They have alrealy reached a
depth of about 200 . feet, and
have the very best indications
of coal.

From present indications it

soon come to their senses and
realize that when they attack
Uncle Sam they will not have

unarmed soldiers to contend
with but men who could give
them 8 points in a 10-point
game and then beat them out.
They won’t want to fight.
Charles O’Neill died at the
home of his brother, Hugh, at
Chelsea, this county, last Mon
day, after an illness of seven
years. Mr. O’Neill was one of
the earliest residents of this

years ago he had a law office
in a little building that stood
on the present site of the old
postoffice building, where he
remained until 1882.
