By a Staff Writer
There lives alone in a wheel
chair in a West O’Neill home one
of O’Neill’s two surviving Span
ish American war veterans.
C. L. Harding, better-known as
“Chaney Tuesday quietly cele
brated ms.81st birthday anniver
sax y There was no fuss. A few
neighbors dropped in, including
Mrs. James Donlin, who lives
nearby and daily stops in to be
a bit of assistance.
Mr. Harding was born in Wood
bury county, Iowa, January 26,
1873, before the towns of Moville
and Kinglsey even existed. He
came with his parents, the late
James E. and Mary Harding, to
Holt county in the spring of
1880.
“Father took a homestead in
the Saratoga community, about
22 miles north of O’Neill. Mother
cried when father picked the
place. She didn't like it. He had
ideas about irrigation and raising
wonderful crops. Things didn’t
turn out too well. There were
some very dry years and the
place was mostly sand,” Mr.
Harding recalls.
Charley was about 16 when
the famous blizzard of January
12, 1888. hit — and the storm
“about broke" the family.
[ “We lost 365 head of sheep ana
49 cattle and didn’t have enough
money to get out of the country.
We had to stick. In the spring,
while dad was in town one day,
our house burned down. My
mother fainted and one of my
sisters drug mother out of the
burning house. That fixed us.
“I went back to Iowa for a few
months and my father left the
nomestead and tree claim to
move into O’NeilL He began car
rying mail from O’Neill to Pad
dock—a roundtrip of 39 miles.
“We were paid $350 per year
to haul the mail and a fellow by
the name of Rich bedded us down
and fed our team at Paddock for
50 cents per night,” Mr. Harding
rccoiicctw.
Young Charley went West for
a tim£, returned to O’Neill and
joined up with the army to help
put down the Spaniards in the
Spanish-American war.
“I was with the Third Nebras
ka infantry regiment. It was a
good outfit — the fellows were
rugged and tough. We were in
Cuba seven or eight months. I
spent some time in a garrison
located about 17 miles from Ha
vanna.”
Henry Grady is the only
other Spanish-American war
veteran now residing at O'Neill,
and Mr. Grady is spending the
winter in Oregon.
Without benefit of apprentice
ship or training, Mr. Harding ac
cumulated a set of paint brushes
and ladders and established him
self in the paint contracting bus
iness. He worked at his trade in
O’Neill and at Spokane, Wash.,
for a total of 40 years. During
many of those years he resided
here with his mother at 305 W.
Fremont, where he continues to
live. His father died here while
Mr. Harding was living at Spo
kane.
For a time Mr. Harding was
deputy Holt county sherifx, serv
ing under the late Sheriff Char
les Hall. Mr. Harding was active
in militia work and with the
John Gokie, siellar St. Joe guard, receives the Holt county
prep basketball tourney trophy from D. E. Nelson of O'Neill,
tournament director. The Atkinson parochial team defeated Stu
art. O'Neill high and Page in that order to become 1954 Holt cage
| champions.—The Frontier Photo.

nomeguards while units existed
here. He has been a member of
the Odd Fellows lodge for many
years.
His wife, the former Anna San
ford Davis, died in 1946. Mr.
Harding has one brother, B. A.
/“Bert”), living in Los Angelas,
Calif.; a stepdaughter, Elsie Uhl.
and a niece, Mrs. Alice Bridges.
Mrs. Donlin is a “shirt-tailJ
relative, Mr. Harding explains,
and Miss Zittella Kestenhoitz,
who calls frequently and takes
special interest in “Uncle Char
ley,” is a “sort of a relative in a
roundabout way.”
Mr. Harding suffers from a cir
culatory ailment in the leg and
has spent considerable time in
the Veterans hospital.

Officers of the Kauzor Co.,
Inc., independent Chicago, 111.,
meat packing firm, Saturday vot
ed to locate a branch plant at O'
Neill in an expansion program
which is getting underway.
Exact site of the new plant to
be constructed here has not yet
been determined.
A fortnight ago, G. A. Kauzor
and one of his partners visited
O’Neill and toured a half-dozen
possible plant locations.'
They told members of the
Chamber of Commerce new in
dustries committee, headed by
James W. Rooney, they were “fa
vorably impressed with O’Neill.”
Word of the decision to lo
cate at O'Neill was forwarded
to the committee by William J.
Froelish, Chicago attorney who
maintains his home here. Mr.
Froelich had held several con
ferences with Mr. KauzoT dur
ing the negotiations.
“Barring a hitch in working
out details, involving acquiring
of real estate and lease - rental
agreements with an investment
house, we expect the plans 10
move right ahead,” Mr. Rooney
said.
The company will start O’Neill
operations on a small scale but
will plan their installation here
to make it easy to expand. Ini
iailly around 300 head of cattle
will be slaughtered per week.
Later, if economic conditions
permit, they may handle as
many as 1,&00 to .1,500 head per
week. About 12 to 15 men will be
employed at the beginning.
The Kauzor firm plans to
slaughter only beef at the outset.
No estimates have been given
on the approximate cost of the
piant, yards and equipment.
City Engineer James Thorbum
of Norfolk was busy this week
surveying several possible sites.
Sewage, water supply and track
age are factors wmch will help
determine the plant location.
Kauzor’s architects and engineers
will take over after surveyed
plats have been submitted to the
j Chicago firm.>_.^ ......
Coffee Price Okay—
While If Lasts—
The Council Oak store adver
tisement on page 3 of this issue
quotes Chase & Sanborn drip or
regular grind coffee at 89-cents
per pound; instant coffee, 87
cents for a four-ounce jar. Darrel
Slaymaker, store manager, early
Wednesday received a telegram
declaring an expected shipment
of this coffee would not be re
ceived this week.
Unfortunately, the page on
which the Council Oak appears
had already been printed when
the notification was received and
it was impossible to remove cof
fee from the ad.
Says Mr. Slaymaker: “We have
on hand a limited supply of this
coffee and it will be sold, while
the supply lasts, at the 89- and
87-cent figures, as advertised.’’

Parley Set
for Board,
Road Group
10-Day Stay Granted;
Closed Session Set
for Friday, Feb. 5
A 10-day stay in the manda
mus action brought against the
Holt county board of supervisors
went on file Tuesday.
The Holt County Rural Road
improvement association, headed
by Frank J. Brady of Atkinson,
a fortnight ago filed an action
in Holt county district court re
quiring the county board to show
cause why the supervisor dis
tricts should not be redistricted
The plaintiffs demanded an an
swer by February 1.
The new answer date is Feb
ruary 10. However, a closed door
conference has been scheduled
for Friday, February 5, to be
held at the courthouse. Officials
of the road group and their at
torney, Elven Butterfield of Ne
ligh, and the supervisors with
their attorney, William W. Grif
fin, will wrestle with the prob
lem.
The mandamus action is bas
ed on an ancient Nebraska law
which provides for redistrict -
ing of the counties following
each federal census. The re
vamped districts, the law says,
are to be determined by vote*
cast in the last preceding gen
eral election.
The law was born during thi
era of settlement of the state and
was designed to balance repre
sentation on the county board
according to population changes
However, during .the 193Q’s and.
early ’40’s population in the °
county decreased.
Based on latest vote figures.
O’Neill and Grattan township to
gether can boast almost two su- ,
pervisors, while the northern
townships in the county all put
together could account for little
more than one supervisor.
How the problem will be re
solved at the closed session is
now a matter of popular specu- #
lation.
