Rope in Courtroom
Proved Not a Noose
50 Years Ago
Mr. Reka, our enterprising ci
gar manufacturer, is the first
O'Neill man to venture an auto
mobile. He has one ordered and is
looking for it any day. He ex
pects to get the best of the ex
pensive hay market by driving a
horseless carriage. . . Fire de
s*royed the house on T. A. Pick
ering’s farm 2 miles south of Em
met. The fire left the Pickerings
destitute of a home and destroy
ed all their clothing, bedding and
household goods. The loss is be
tween $600 and $700. . . Visitors to
the county courtroom yesterday
afternoon looked awry at a coil
of heavy rope lying on the floor
and wondered who had been
hung. It was only the mute testi
mony in a case of the state a
gainst Edward Tierney, who was
arrested at the instance of Mark
Murphy and it was charged that
he had stolen the rope which lay
at the feet of the judge. The de
fendant proved to the court that
he had bought the rope at Mc
Cafferty’s and was discharged. . .
“I want all who owe me to call
and settle up now. If I go out
with the bills some get offended
for asking for my money in pub
lic, so don't wait for that; call
now and settle up.—Con Keyes.’
25 Years Ago
The first real heavy rain that
has fallen here for several years
came last Sunday evening. It rain
ed 2'k inches in an hour. . . .
Fred McNally says that it pays
to advertise. He inserted a small
ad in The Frontier last week for
a pocketbook that his nephew
had lost and in a few minutes
after The Frontier was placed in
the postoffice the purse was re
turned. . . Frank Lancaster is ar
ranging to dispose of his interests
here by the first of the year with
the view of taking over a large
dairy 3 miles from Denver, Colo.
. . , Hollywood bathing beauty
show girls presented a perform
ance to a crowded tent. The show,
was very tame. The girls showed
their lack of training upon the
stage and their inability to sing
and dance did not add much to
the attractiveness of the enter
tainment. A couple of the girls
were fairly good looking, dhe
fellow who was furnishing the
tent and was pulling the show
with trucks returned to Omaha
-- "5
and the show scattered to the 4
winds. Rumors had it that part of
the management disappeared
with the money sack. . . Mayor
C. E. Stout was elected president
of the Northeast Golf association
at its annual meeting in Norfolk.
. . .The contractors who will
gravel the 8 miles of road east of
O’Neill are on the job and are
getting ready to begin work right
away.
