DeYarman’s Livery Barns Gutted by Fire;
Aristocratic Portion of Town Threatened
50 YEARS AGO
July 27, 1899
Joe Sedaleck, living t w o
miles from Spencer, was acci
dently killed while going home
from O’Neill last Saturday
morning. When about 12 miles
from town, he fell from the
wagon, breaking his neck in
the fall, and it is supposed,
dying instantly. His body was
brought to the city Sunday and
kept in McCafferty's under
taking rooms until Tuesday
morning, when it was shipped
to Omaha for interment. De
ceased was about 60 years of
age.
Fanned by a heavy gail from
the South, fire played havoc
with O’Neill Tuesday and for
a time threatened the entire
city. At about 12:55 p. m. fire
broke out in the DeYarman
livery, one of the largest sta
bles in this section of the state
and in about 15 minutes the
massive structure, with all its
contents, consisting of 50 j^ead
of horses (some of them blood
ed stock), wagons, carriages
and harness, was in ruins. Mr
DeYarman’s loss is estimated
at *5.000, with no insurance.
Several farmers from the
surrounding country had
teams in the barn, and ow
ing to the furious gale it
was impossible to save them,
many people losing the only
team they possessed.
The loss to these transcient
customers is estimated at $1,
200. It was feared for a time
that this part of the city, the
most aristocratic portion,
would be doomed to destruc
tion, but after destroying five
barns, the flames were con
trolled. V
25 YEARS AGO
July 31. 1924
The daily papers of last
Thursday contained the an
nouncement that Montana Jack
Sullivan had been held up and
robbed by a couple of boys in
Council Bluffs, la., where Jack
had driven with friends. Ac
cording to the papers, Jack
was relieved of about $5,000
worth of diamonds and some
money. The other occupants
of the car were not molested.
J. H. Schultz has purchased
the William Fallon residence
property in the North end of
town and again will become
a resident of O’Neill. Mr. and
Mrs. Shultz will return to
O’Neill from Neligh, their pre
sent residence, week after next
and will take possession of
their new home September 1.
Mr. Schultz declares business
to be exceedingly dull at both
Neligh and Norfolk and is firm
in the belief that O’Neill is
one of the best towns m North
Nebraska.
Henry Grady will formally
assume the duties of postmas
ter of the O’Neill office Fri
day morning. Mr. Grady’s com
mission arrived last week, at
which time the date of t ri
day, August 1, was agreed up
on with the retiring postmas
ter M. H. McCarthy, as most
suitable for the transfer to a
void making out extra reports.
The adminislralien of the
O'Neill posloffice one. of the
most important outside of
the large cities of the state,
r the past eight years by
Mr. McCarthy has been ef
5i ient, courteous and ac
c modating to the public,
and a continuance of this
service under Mr. Grady is
assured by all who know
him.
Mr. Grady’s assumption of
-> office on Friday is an in
dication that the new post
mister does not hold with any
of the old superstitions as to
that day of the week and as
further proof of the same he
will inaugurate his term by
selling 13 two-cent stamps for
cent and a quarter on the
pening day and as long there
after as agreeable to the post
office department.
