Bank at the time of the bank's
failure and your . settlcmcnt o ( its
alTairsi that. he borrowed the
monc ) ' from state funds deposited
by former State Treasurer -
ley ; that the state deposit Bart-I
$ ( JOOO which the state lost be-
causc Norris Brown did not pay I
his notcs , one amounting to $35
and the other to $255. Will you
please give me the facts in regard -
gard to this matter ?
Yery respectfully ,
W. H. Hosn ,
Chairman Republican
State Central Com.
To this Mr. Payne replied :
Nebraska City , Nebraslm.
October li , 1906.
Mr. W. . Hose , Chairman He-
publican State Central Com.
DnAR SIR : Among the assets
of the Kearney National Buk , .
placed in my hands as rece1ver ,
were notes amounting to about
$300 , signcd by Norris Brown.
Thcse notes had no connection
whatever with the deposit of
$6,000 by ex-State Treasurer
Bartley. As I rccollect the facts
they are about as follows : Norris -
ris Brown owed the bank as above
stated. He claimed thc bank
owed him au account for attorneys -
neys fecs , and wished to offset
his indebtedness to the bank by
the bank's indebtcdness to him.
Equitably , it looked to me as
though such a compromise would
be just. These notes , with other
assets of the bank , were duly
advertised for sale in the Kearney -
ney Hub , and sold with other
assets of the bank -March ,
1898. I do not recollect who
bought the notes or the a'mount
paid for them. A common-sense
interpretation of the transaction
would b that Brown received
from the Kcarney National Bank
for services , as claimed bv him ,
an amount equal to the (1ilIcrence
between the face value 'of his
notes and the amount paid for
the notes at public auction.
Yours very truly ,
ROBERT PAYNIt.
1.'hat Norris Brown did not owe
the Kearney National Banl < nor
the state of Nebraska , any sum
whatever , at the time the affairs
-of. Ute . . .bank wete settled , was
shown in a recently' ' published
intcrview with N. P. McDonald ,
present county attorney of Bnf-
'falo county" who was familiar
with the facts. The truth was
also published by Robert Pai'nc ,
receiver , in an interview glvelf
to thc Nebraska City Daily 'rri-
bune , October 6 , 1900.
Without making inquiry of
Mr. Payne to asccrtain the facts' ,
and disregarding the truth which
had been published , T. S. Allen ,
chairman of the democratic state
central committec , has been diligently -
gently publishing and circulat-
throughout the state annony-
mous handbills containing th1s
false report. I appeal to every
fair minded man , regardless of
party affiliations , o resent the
disreputablc methods employed
by the democraltc state central
committee in their efforts to defeat - .
feat Norris Brown and prevent
regulation of freight rates by
the election of a democratic
legislature. 'V. B. ROSE ,

The succcss of this institution I

has been in existcnce less than

I Whcn . President Cornett
broached. the subject to our citizens -
I zens last summer he found n re- .
sponsivc chord and encouraging
words spurred him on in the
work of organi7. ng and establishing -
ing a 'College that would r dound
in every way to the best interests
of both city aud county.
' 1'he eshiblishing of an educational -
tional iustitution is much like
I the cstablishing of a newspaper
'inasmuch ' as man ) ' arc 111clined
to wait amI see how it starts out
and what amount of patronage
will he bcstowed , a one of the
great traits of humanity is that
none like to engage in any enter-
prisc . or found supporting one
that may prove a failure ,
The school opened September
10th last with an attendance of
a few o\'er twcnty pupils. And
thcn President Cornett said : "It
is well ; we will havc a collcge-
a go ) ( l school-ollt that will
grow , prospcr and be perpetuated
always , " and w1th rc-doubled
energy he set to work , and now ,
with an enrollment of forty-t wo I
he h s assurancc of as many
more during the winter term ,
which establlshcs the fact that
Custer College IS an assured success -
cess and that its attQndance will
increase , year b.v year , as news
of the good work here accom-
plishcd is spread abroad.
