When You and I Were Young —
O'Neill Capitalists Are Interested with

Mr. Fritz Frank, of Indepen
dence. Ia., has purchased tw<
claims northeast of O'NeiLl
— owned by Michael Staffor<
and Miss Maggie Meagher. Mr
Frank returned to Independence
Sunday morning after his lam
ily. He will soon return anc
settle permanently. He is i
hard working, honest granger
and The Frontier welcomes
him to our county.
The Atkinson Graphic strikes
right and left in its attempt to
rid the place of a disreputable
saloon dive and its keeper. From
all reports on the subject we
are inclined to believe that the
Graphic should be strongly
supported by the people theie
and aided in its laudable en
terprises. We are inclined to
believe that Atkinson will go
prohibition strong this Spring
and we shall be glad to see it
go We should also be glad to
see O’Neill follow in her foot
steps and do likewise.
March has behaved herself
very nicely so far and we
trust she will continue her
good behavior until the end
of the month, but we haven't
any doubt that she will go
out like a roaring lion, as
she usually does.
There is an artesian well on
the farm of Gene Hubbard
near Chambers, that is only 49
feet deep and flows out over
the top of the pipe which i

about two feet above he sur
! face of the ground. If this is
any criterion, we should judge
, that it would take a small a
mount of boring to reach wat
[ er in this town, although, of
course, it would be necessary
to go to a sufiicient depth to
get a flow that would be strong
enough to throw water any
great distance or with much
force.

The clouds which so many
have seeen hovering over the;
big ditch project are breaking
away and the sun will soon be !
shining. A Frontier reporter
yesterday called upon Mr. Mc
Hugh’s secretary of the com
pany, and inquired for the lat
est. That gentleman said that
the company had been disap
pointed in its contemplated
! meeting of New York and Chi
cago parties in Chicago, on ac
count of one of the Chicago
gentleman being absent from
the city, but that arrangements
had almost been completed
whereby Donald W. Campbell,
the noted civil engineer of
Denver, Colo., would take
charge of the survey and that
he was confident work would
be commenced on the west end
not later than May 1.
A not unexpected move in
the Scott murder trial was
made Tuesday. Attorney
General Churchhill arrived
in the city during the after
noon. and court being in ses
sion. filed the following mo
tion.
In district court of Holt
county, Neb., The State of
Nebraska. Now comes the
State of Nebraska and moves
the dismissal of the above
cause for the reason that upon
investigation of the whole
question of facts and the law
a conviction cannot be had in
Holt county. A. S. Churchill,
Attorney General. The attor
neys for the prosecution and
defense came to an under
standing last night and an
agreement was reached where
by the prisoners were turned
over to the Boyd county sher
iff, who started for Butte with
them this morning. The agree
ment was that they would be
released on $5,000 bail.
We are reliably informed
that a big alfalfa farm will be
opened out under the Elkhorn
ditch this Summer. Let the 1
good work go on.

not warmed up very much as
yet the indications are that be
fore the election is over it will
be warm enough to suit all
parties interested. The candid
ates for mayor are Ed F. Gal
lagher and David Stannard,
and we have heard it said that
George Washington Triggs is
a third candidate and has pas
sed around a petition, but as
the document has not come to
our notice we cannot assert to
the correctness of the report.
James F. Gallagher, now city
clerk, is a candidate tor re
election and is opposed by
Sam Bernard. For Treasureer,
the present incumbent, B. Mc
Greevey, is a candidate, D. A.
Doyle being his opponent. So
far but one carrlidate for pol
ice judge is in the field. Police
Judge Davidson is up for re
election. In the First ward, O.
O. Snyder will probably have
the field to himself for the
councilman race, he being the
only candidate out, and seems
to be acceptable to all. The
second ward is in the same
happy condition. Frank Comp
bell being the solitary candid
ate, and will probably be giv
en a certificate of election
without opposittion. But in the
Third ward—the bloody Third
it is different. A. B. Newell,
and F. C. Gatz are rivals for
the honor of representing that
ward on the council and the
fight promises to be a warm
one.
Several O’Neill capitalists
have become interested with
Landlord Evans and are fig
uring on erecting a three-story
hotel on the corner, opposite
the First National bank. The
building will be 80x70 and will
cost about $25,000. Prospect for
a first-class hotel were never
brighter than at present and
if the business men will put
their shoulder to the wheel
and push togeather O’Neill will
have a hotel that will be a
credit to the town by August 1.

John Fallon and family, liv
ing a few miles North of
town, were victims of a ser
ious loss Tuesday when their
house and all household be
longings were consumed by
fire, the inmates of the house
barely escaping with their li
ves. Mr. Fallon and wife were
sleeping downstairs in a room
adjoining the kitchen. About
one o’clock in the morning Mr.
Fallon aroused from his sleep
to find their bedroom filled
with a sufficating smoke and
at once realized the house was
on fire.
The fire had gotten under
such headway that it was
impossible to save anything
and all the frightened sleep- (
ers could do was to get out
in their night clothes.
In bare feet in the snow and
cold and clad only in their
sleeping garments they a 11
fought desperately t o save
something from the ruins, but
the flames had got too much
headway and the unfortunate
people could not save even
enough clothing t o protect
them from the cold winter
night. Mr. and Mrs. Fallon had
a comfortable home well fur
nished but no insurance and
the loss to them is heavy. The
fire is supposed to have orig
inated from a box of ashes
that stood in a shed adjoining
the kitchen.
The South Fork telepone
line is connected with the An
telope line and we will now be
able to talk with Inman and
Chambers with the North An
telope county phone. This is
the right move and will be of
great advantage to the whole
community.
The fat cattle market is 10
to 15 cents higher than on the
7th inst. The receipts are on
ly moderate and prices are
keeping just about steady so
far this week with active trad
ing. Light stockers are 25 to
50 cents lower than two weeks
ago. Prospects still look steady
too strong for killers.

Cattle Fed Prairie
Hay Need Protein
Cattle that have been weak
ened by the subzero tempera
tures and insufficient feed,
need supplementary feed to
assure ability to produce good
calves this Spring, according
to W. W. Derrick, extension
animal husbandryman from
the University of Nebraska,
who visited this area during
the blizzard. He advises giv
ing the cattle free access to a
mixture of two-thirds bone
meal and one-third salt.
This, he says, will supply
calcium and phosphorous and
assures the ability of cows and
heifers to reproduce and give
vigor to the calf.
He points out that it is
important to give a supply
of protein and says that alf
alfa hay will give sufficient
protein but the cattle fed
prairie hay should have one
pound high protein concen
trate daily.
i
Sows that are to farrow this
Spring should be receiving
considerable protein in their
ration. A good source is tank
age, Derrick continued. M!any
times small pigs die as a re
sult of the lack of certain ele
ments contained in the soil.
This may be helped by plac- 'f
ing a supply of soil taken from
i a clean field and placed in
each pen where the little pigs
may have free access to it. One
of the main elements' found in
soil is iron.
Mr. and Mrs. Art Dexter,
Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Green, Mr!
