(Continued from page 1)
He moved bis wife and family
to Holt county in 1900, settling
10 miles southeast of Chambers.
“I bought the" land kinda
cheap from the man who home
steaded it," he explained, "and

'“One Son, Anson Fauquier, died
in July. 1949.
Several generations of folxs
in the Chambers community
looked upon a unique friend
ship between Mr. Fauquier and
the late John Line-hart who
died several years ago. Neigh
bors, they lacked a week of be

celebrated their birthdays to
About twice a wee}c they vis
ited each other and frequently
walked the other home. They
talked crops and weather, ev
erything and nothing,

golden wedding anniversary in

later. Since then lie has made
his home With'his children. >

quarter buzzer sounded, O’Neill
had jumped to a 16-10 lead.
Stevens and Sholes showed the
way for the initial period scor
ing assault for the Inman club.
Paring the Eagle’s first quarter
'attack was Don Godel and Ted
Lindberg,
However, the hot pace was
abandoned during the second
stanza as both quintets settled
to a "convenient” attack. Coach
Darel Bright’s kids bucketed 7
markers and the O’Neill lads
j rimmed 10. The count as the
teams went to the locker rooms
for the intermission rest period
stood at: O’Neill 26, Inman 17.
Third and fourth period scor
ing saw the visiting "5” out
score the cold Eagles by 6
points. Hartigan the Inman slot
man was able to work around
and finally began hitting-. He
racked up 7 of the 9 third peri
od points.

tardy Inman ralljr to hold on
for the win. Inman poured
through 13 points in thq last
quarter, while the Eagles hit
for 10.

of the game via the foul route
late in the game, he bagged
high scoring laurels with 13
points. Hartigan of Inman, hit
for a 12-point total.
