THOWIKG OUST AT MOSES.
So the Frontier tries to evade
the issue by telling us that we
have been "throwing dust at the
old man. " No we have not been
throwing dust at Moses , of un
certain and unknown age , who
when he prepared his biographical
sketch for the Congressional Re
cord , informed the public that he
"was over forty-nine. " In what
we said two weeks ago there was
naught said in malice. We told
the truth , the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. The Fron
tier editor knows that 'everything
we said about the 'old man' was
true and many more things could
be truthfully said about his politi
cal and private career.
"There is nothing in Kinkaid's
official career that calls for de
fense , " shrieks Kinkaid's puppet
behind the post-office. In a way
that is true , he has no official rec
ord to defend. He has never done
anything except draw his salary.
He has been as lifeless as an oyster
and as boneless as a banana.
The Frontier says we are trying
to evade the issues. Far from it :
We are willing to meet you on the
county issues. If you do not think
so just read this paper until the
campaign closes. In the mean
time we intend to pay our respects
to Moses and his henchman. Do
not think for a moment that you
can evade this issue. You are
talking about Kinkaid's official
record , pray tell the public what
his record is.
You speak of tax shirkers ; just
call Moses aside and tell him that
there is $ i25.00 unpaid taxes on his
block of land inFahy's Park addition -
# * -
tion ; that the taxes have not been
paid since 1892. Tell the 'old man'
that it is about time for him to
contribute his share to the support
of the government. If he does
not want to build a house in the
town , he ought at least pay taxes
on his vacant block.
He ought to apply some of the
$53,000.00 salary he has diawn to
help the people of this community
carry the burdens of the govern
ment. Get the beam out of your
eye long enough to see that Moses
is one of the heaviest tax shirkers
of the county.
Speaking of the bank wreckers ,
Moses was the confidential friend
and advisor of Patrick Hagerty ,
the erst-while president of the McKinley -
Kinley club. Mr. Kinkaid did his
ii : banking business in that bank. If
Mr. Hagerty had a confidentia
friend in the town it was Moses ,
The night before Patrick Hagert.y
left O'Neill he took time to credil
on thel ooks of theElkhorn Yalle.'V
bank the rent on Kinkaid's office
up to January 1907 ; in that way
he reduced the amountof Kinkaid's
deposit ; this was done by Hagerty
so that his friend Moses would not
be as heavy a looser as the other
depositors.
Yes Moses knows something
about rotten banks. He was an
officer and stock holder in the
tStuart State bank , which failed in
1895. It was a larger failure than
the Elkhorn Valley bank ; it finally
paid the depositors about 20 cents
on the dollar. The people of
Stuart and vicinity lost thousands
of dollars in this failure. A short
time before the failure Moses
transferred all the stock he had in
this bank to the cashier of the bank ,
George H. Bowring. This was a
trick and was done by Moses with
knowledge that the bank was then
insolvent. In addition to this it is
said that Moses turned over to the
bank over § 5000.00 worth of bad
notes and took out of the bank that
much cash. Moses was an officer
and stockholder in the Stuart State
bank at the time it was insolvent.
We challenge a successful denial
of this statement. In this rotten
bank deal Moses , as usual , was
slick and diplomatic ; he transferred
his stock a short time before the
failure ; he doing this for the pur
pose of avoiding responsibility.
In this way the odium of the fail
ure fell on others.
The fact still remains that he
was an officer and stockholder in
the bank when it was insolvent ;
that as such officer and stockholder
he allowed the bank to become in
solvent and by his conduct he con
tributed and assisted in making the
bank insolvent. In discussing the
bank wreckers of this county ai d
those who have aided and abetted
them , the history is not complete
without discussing the record of
Moses , the spineless congressman
from the sixth district.
Speaking of the dispoiling of
poor people and contempt of the
laws of the land. Moses has a rec
ord along this line. We invite the
editor of the Frontier to read the
case of Hiatt vs. Kinkaid in the
supreme court reports of the state
of Nebraska , Volume 28 , page 721.
That case will give you an insight
into the character of Moses in deal
ing with his neighbors. In that
case the facts in brief are , that
Moses and Hiatt were in partner
ship in 1883 and 1884 in the cattle
business. Hiatt took some cattle
to Chicago , sold them and took
drafts payable to the order of Hiatt
and Kinkaid amounting to § 3627.-
19. .He came to O'Neill with the
drafts on his person. Some dis
pute arose between Hiatt and
Kinkaid regarding a settlement.
Kinkaid swore out a warrant
against this man charging him with

having stolen these drafts anc
charging him with having stoler
property in his possession. Tool
an officer and forcibly strippec
Hiatt and forcibly took the drafts
away from him. Hiatt suec
Kinkaid for damages for malicious
prosecution. The case was triec
and finally reached the supreme
court. The supreme court held
that Hiatt should receive damages.
Judge Maxwell wrote the opinion.
We quote the following :
"There is no testimony in the rec
ord tending to show that the drafts
in question had been stolen , or that
the defendent ( Kinkaid ) had an >
reason to so believe. So far as the
record before us shows , the charge
was a rash assert on under oath , and
there wasino attempt to sustain it by
proof of the specific act charged.
The testimony shows that the
search warrant and writ of replevin
were both in the sheriff's hands at
the same time ; that the plaintiff ,
( Hiatti was taken to the office of the
justice , and he then demanded to be
( permitted to see an attorney , which
i was refused ; that there the
presence of the justice , the sheriff ,
j and the defendent , ( Kinkaid , ) he was
. partially stripped , and the draft for
! $750 and about $40 00 in money on his
'
person ; that he thereupon was taken
to a bedroom and stripped nearly
naked , and the drafts to Hiatt and
dependent , ( Kinkaid , ) found in the
lining of his overalls.
No one can read the testimony in
this case without being convinced
that the ciiminal prosecution was
instituted for the sole purpose of
getting possession of the drafts in
question. The whole course of pro
cedure , both before and after the
arrest , shows this to be the case. The
drafts , when found on the person of
the plaintiff , ( Hiatt ) , herein , were
levied upon under a writ of replevin
in an action instituted by defendant ,
( Kinkaid ) . Having thus obtained pos
session of the drafts the criminal
charge was permitted to lapse It is
true the defendant ( Kinkaid ) pleads as
an excuse for so doinu that he was
called away on professional duty , and
therefore could not be present to
prosecute , but it is evident that the
real reason was a want of proof to es
tablish the charge The charge of
felony against any person is of a very
grave character , and should not be
made unless there is a probable cause
for making the samo. The charge
may cast a cloud upon the good name
and reputation of a person
that long years of t-xemplary con
duct will not wholly efface To justify
the charge , therefore , there must be
a probaole cause. "
The above is what Judge Max
well thought aboutthe "old man. "
The above is not newspaper com
ment ; it h the deliberate opinion
of one of the greatest supreme
judges of this state. When it
comes to lawlessness Moses is
right "in it. " We re'peat again
that he has no respect and no con
sideration for any person but him
self.
Suppose every man in O'Neill
would act as Kinkaid has acted
since he came to this community.
What progress would the com
munity have made ? He has never
done anything for the county ex
cept ta appoint two or three bail
iffs at each term of the district
court when he was district judge
and four or five postmasters since
he became congressman. It is
strange that he has not imported
the postmasters from West Vir
ginia. No doubt he will do that
if re-elected. Little wonder that
the Frontier has no defense to
make for Moses ; he has done noth
ing which you can defend. He is
a political cypher ; he has no record
except to draw his salary.
For twenty-four years he has
been a barnacle clinging to the
body politic like a blood-sucker ;
he has been fed , clothed and hous
ed at public expense. His politi
cal record is such that even the
postmaster he is feeding can say
nothing in his defense. There is
a man in O'Neill , now a pauper ,
supported by Grattan township ,
that has rendered greater service
to the town , township , county and
state than Moses. Will the Fron
tier tell us how long the "old man"
intends to force himself onto the
public ? Does he want the public
to support him as long as he lives ?

Last Friday the weather became
cool and misty with occasional
showers , finally turning into a
steady rain which lasted all night ,
and Saturday was a bad chilly
misty day turning to sleet in the
evening. Sunday was a raw , chilly
day and we thought the storm was
broken as it began to clear up.
The weather continued threatening
and Monday morning snow began
falling which by night was several
inches deep and we again thought
our storm had spent its force.
Tuesday morning the snow was
still falling and the wind began
blowing and continued throughout
the clay and far into the night. It
was not cold and the wind did not
blow hard. About 17 inches of
snow fell and drifted a little in
places but mostly stayed where it
fell. Wednesday and Thursday the
