processed in the O’Neill region,
which is fast becoming one of
the large bluegrass areas in the
nation.

SCOUT TRAINING
SAVES A LIFE
Ronald Boelter Taken to
Safety by Eddie and
George Tomlinson
A farm youth, Ronald Boelter,
visiting in O’Neill recently, was
rescued from the Elkhorn river
south of town by 2 Boy Scouts,
Eddie and George Tomlinson.
The 3 boys had gone into the
river near the bridge. Eddie and
George were playing tag, while
Ronald was paddling around
learning to swim. The Elkhorn
was high from recent rains and
! caught Ronald short when he
happened to step in over his
head. He managed to call for
help.
Eddie was on the south side
and George was hiding on the
north side of the river, when
Eddie heard Ronald’s call and
went to his rescue. Eddie grab- i
bed Ronald by the hair and call- !
ed George, while starting to
tow Ronald to shore.'
The current carried George
against Eddie, and Eddie lost
his hold on Ronald’s hair.
This let Ronald get his arms
and legs around Eddie.
Eddie was equal to this des
perate situation, however, as he
had recently passed his life sav
ing requirement toward becom
ing an Eagle Scout. George,
likewise, had recently passed
his life saving requirement.
Eddie immediately broke
loose from the arms and legs of
this drowning person. George
held Ronald’s head above water,
while Eddie got a secure grip
in Ronald’s hair. George got a
r* ■ . .
chin carry hold on Ronald be
side Eddie and the 3 went to
shore.
As Explorer Scouts, both Ed
die and George knew how to
apply artificial respiration and
soon Ronald was breathing nor
mally.
Ronald told his aunt, Mrs.
Boyd Boelter, who lives north
east of O’Neill, that he felt very
grateful to his 2 companions on
this occasion. Eddie said he was
glad he had passed Scout life
saving, as he was nervous for a
moment, but he kept thinking
of what he had learned, and he
knew he could meet the situa
tion. George said he wouldn’t
have known about a chin carry
hold if he hadn’t also taken the
Scout life saving course.
Ronald’s mother, Mrs. Homer
Boelter, lives on a farm near
Walnut. George and Eddie are
the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Dick
Tomlinson, of O’Neill.

RICHARDSON COUNTY BANK
G. S. Lyon, Cashier
Falls City, Nebraska
To Whom It May Concern:
July 8, 1950
Having served this city as Mayor from 1928 to 1948 it was
always my desire to have an efficient police force, one that
would enforce the ordinances of the city and the laws of the
State of Nebraska. “
In 1934 I appointed Mr. D. S. McCage, now of O’NeiiJ, I
Nebraska, as one of the enforcing officers, and soon found \
that I had made no mistake, he serving until 1941.
I found him to be a fearless, trustworthy officer, always
attentive to duty, and enforcing the laws without favor. His I
experience during that time would be of great value to him in l
discharging the duties as Sheriff of Holt County, and it is a |
real pleasure for me to recommend him to the voters for that
office. ,
Signed: G. S. Lyon, former Mayor

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Judd Ankorm, Chief
Falls City, Nebr
July 8, 1950
To Whom It May Concern:
D. S. McCage, now of O’Neill, Nebarska, was employed as
a police officer by the City of Falls City, Nebraska, from 1934
to 1941, inclusive. Officer McCage was a fearless, hard-work
ing, trustworthy officer, and performed his duty without
favor.
Mr. McCage’s experience as a police officer at Falls City
Nebraska, would be of value to him in discharging the duties
of Sheriff of Holt County, Nebraska, as he had experience in
working on many different types of cases and criminal in
vestigation while employed by the City of Falls City.
The undersigned are pleased to recommend D. S. McCage
to the voters of Holt County, Nebraska.
