Beginning on this page and
continuing on two pages following -
ing on this edition of the Rnpun-
UCAN will be found list of unpaid -
paid taxes on Custer county real
estate for the year 1906. Unless
the same arc paid within the next
four weeks the owners of said
realty \vili \ have to pay still more
than the amount published. It's
better to pay.
It is not clever , manly nor
patr otic for the big school boys
to unduly tease and tantalize one
smaller than themselves. Such
tactics are being pursued in
Broken Bow and a number of our
I
people have witnessed more or I
less of these attacks and are
ibecoming highly incensed. It
is real cowardly on the part of
these big fnllt'ws and if they
don't desist they will be made to
suffer as much , if n't more , than
their victims.
J. .s. Kenoyer and family , who
left here four years ago last
spring and settled on a ranch
northeast of Deadwood , South
Dakota , sold the ranch and stock
and returned to Broken Bow last

regardless of the rough and hilly
land where he was located , settlers -
tlers are coming in so rapidl ) '
and filing on land that ranching
will soon be a thing of the past
tbere , being now practically un-
profitable. They are pretty well
satisfied to return back to Custer
county's fertile fields.
Hev. H. S. Ifrench , who has
been the local pastor of the M.
g church at Anselmo and sup.
plving the pulpits at Gates , New
H lena anll Htburn the past
year , has been returned to the
. charge. We've heard of some
people who earn their sllary ; and
I some who don't , but if this
dominie don't get "a run for his
I money" then we'd like to meet a
gentleman from the "Show Me"
state. The fellows in Rev.
French's charge ought to "chip
in" liberally. He earns every
cent of his salary-and then
some.
