Several sheet iron barrels ,
nicely painted and placed in the

J. C. Barton , who has a claim
twelve. miles west of Anselmo ,
is 111 the citv and informed tbo
H. PUnI.ICANthat - prairie cbicket
hunters are already abroad in the
land in goodly numbers and that
those who are law-abiding-
wait for tbe open season will find
poor picking in that part of
Custer county. He saw a party
of five , not.residentsof the county ,
out hunting and from the number
of sbots fired they must have
kiJ1ed fifty chickens. in as many
minutes.
A. J. VanAntwerp , secretary
of tbe fair association after
"surveying" the \1ituation says
that indications now point to the
most successful fair in September
ever beld b.y the association.
Interest in it ectllS to be gr.owing
day by day , as he IS receiving
hundr d , of inquiries and applica.
tions for premium lists and entry
blanks. 1i'rom the number of
letters received from Custcr
county farmers be deducts the
opinion tbat there will be an unusually -
usually large di : play of stock
and farm products , and an atten.
dance far in cxcess of any previous -
vious year , provided the weather
is not inclement.
Underta r Cole had quite a
thrilling exp rience getting over
to the North side at about 2
o'clock Monday morning after
the storm. Water , between 2
and 3 feet deep , was running
over the sidewalk near the depot
and rubber boots were too short
at tbe upper end to prevent
gdting wet , so he cmploy d a
liveryman and team and made
the trip. The water was so deep
the horses had to swim and both
be and the li\Teryman stood on
the seat , expecting every moment
to be tipped over in a terriblv
swift current. He says if 11c
wasn't bald beaded be would
have lost his hat for he could feel
what little fuz there is on his
head sticking straight up.
Last week a pocketbook found
item was pnblisbed in tbe Ru-
PUBLICAN and tbere were three
calls by persons who had lost
purses within two weeks and
none of them had advertised their
loss , although one purse contained -
tained over $20.00. Some people
don't seem to understand that
it is not the duty of a finder , but
the loser , to ad vertise , if the
purse does not contain the owner'
name-as every pu.rse should.
The finder of any article of value
usually watches the local papers
for such items and , if they arc. ;
honest , restores the article to its
owner. The question of what is
a suitable reward has often beet ]
discussed , as there is no law ,
i further than an unwritten one in
England which has become thl : :
one in vogue in this country ,
. which is ten per cent of the valul : :
I of the article found-the losel
always alvertising the loss.
