ROY SATTLEY
Furniture and Undertaking
months previous to spend the winter,
and the following tribute to his mem
ory will bo easily recognized ns com
ing from the pen of Attorney Jas. S.
Gilliam:
"Mr. Auld was born May 10, 1815,
in the state of Ohio. His boyhood
was spent at Knoxvillc, Iowa, where
his body will be taken for burial.
"He came to Guide Hock in 1885,
where he organized the Hank of Guide
j Hock. In 181)2 he organized the State
I Hank of this city. In 18!)9 ho became
j the owner of one of the leading bunks
in Lincoln, and in 11)12 he became the
owner of the Corn Exchange Hank of
Omaha.
"His connection with a bank was an
assurance of stability and a guarantee
of success. He was a friend of all
his customers and those who follow
ed his advice always found it leading
to prosperity.
"In those dark clays of Hod Cloud's
history, when all the banks had failed,
i when the credit of the merchants was
worthies", and all the financial enter
prises of the city were crumbling,
Mr. Auld restoted the financial stand
ing of the community, and put the
credit of the city upon a sccmo fool
ing. "Mr. Auld was one of the few
wealthy men in the slate, who recog
nized the duty urd privilege of using
their wealth in public benefactions to
the communities where they reside.
Guide Uock and Hod Cloud will always
remember him1 with gratitude for the
beautiful library buildings donated by
him. Lincoln has gratefully inscribed
his name on its moi.1 extensive park.
"There will be hundreds of child
ren and youth who will look with sad
dened eye on the crepe hanging from
the door of the public library in this
city. They had not known the donor.
Hut they had learned to tpcak his
name w Ith grateful respect and thoy
will cherish his memory with inci eas
ing niU'clion, as their minds are en
riched with the means afforded by his
geneiosity.
"Not-with-slanding his absence
lrom this city, caused by his conduct
of banks at Lincoln and Omaha, he al
ways legauled Hed Cloud as his home,
and the people of this city w ill always
recall with affectionate pride their
most prosperous, most generous and
mo.st public spirited citizen."
Appalling, Fatal Accident
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Swartz were
called to Inavale the first of the week
by a pcculiaily pathetic accident
which cost the life of the hitter's
brother, a lad of about 17 years.
Heauford Pierce, the youngest son
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pierce, who
formerly resided on the Frisbie'placo
known as the Amboy mill farm, in
company with a companion, Jim
Hcilman, a lad several years his sen
ior, endeavored to ride belated No. 1G
out of Kiverton on lust Friday night,
the boys, so it is presumed, intend
ing to ride the train to within a short
distance of the Pierco home. At
about 11 o'clock that night the Heil
man boy, in an unconscious condi
tion, dragged himself to a nearby
farm house, where on being taken in,
it was ascertained he was seriously,
but not fatally, injured. On the
restoration of partial consciousness
he began asking for his companion,
with the result that a search was at
once instigated, which ended by the
finding of the lifeless body of the
Pierce boy in a snow bank near the
track, a little ways out of Kiverton.
The unfortunate lad's limbs had both
been broken, as well as one arm and
his head badly crushed.
The Heilman boy, at this writing,
has not sufficiently recovered as to
stato just how the accident occurred
or us to what part of-the train tney
were riding.
when the former's sister, Miss Hello
Hamilton, wns united in marriage to
Howard .Sisco, Hew John I). Hammcl
officiating. The bride is the attrac
tive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Hamilton of Guide Kock, and not only
enjoys a wide circle of friends in her
home town, but in our city as well.
Tho groom is a prospeious young
farmer of Pawnee county and while
a stranger in this community, yet his
choice of a life-lime companion is
sufficient recommendation. The
happy couple left this morning for the
eastern pait of the stato to visit his
parents. .
Farmers Telephone Hearing
Commissioner Vil
with his stenogra
State Hallway
son, in company
pher, Miss Taylor, arrived on the
scene jestorday for the purpose of
holding the long anticipated, and
many times postponed hearing, rela
tive to the raise in rates sought by
the Farmers' Independent Telephone
Company of this city. The hearing,
itself, affords but little for publica
tion and the outcome of the same will
remain a matter of conjecture, for
some time, if the Commission tiavels
tho same round-about course in ar
living at a verdict, as that taken,
prior ty Ju holding of tho hearing.
The time yesterday was entirely con
sumed by the gathering of data, rela
tio to the cost of this, that and tho
other, and the proceedings, so we are
informed, would have been entirely
devoid of cither comedy or drama,
were it not for the pic-ence and test
imonials of Secretary 0. C. Tool, of
the Independent Company, Local
Manager Geo. Warren, of tho Lincoln
T. k. T. Company and Attorney Ber
nard MoNcny, who represented the
minority stockholders of the Inde
pendi nt Company.
