Judge Reese , Alpha Morgan , Judge Armour and Postmaster jewett left for Omaha last night to give testimony in a case in which a piece of land in the sand hills is a bone of cuntention. 'rhey expect to get through today - day and reach home tomorrow. The citizen who has not . visited - ed the various parts of town during the pa t month has no idea of the many buildings that 1 have been erected , the improvements - ments that have been made to residence property and the large number of cement walks that have been laid this year. Over $5000 was realized at the sale of property for delinquent taxes by the county treasurer last Mondajt. Every piece WdS sold and the bnyers regretted there were no more lands or lots upon which the taxes had not been paid. 'I'his goes to show that inueftors consider land in Custer a pretty guod proposition. County Clerk ! \lair : says that half the majority would have answered the same purpo e , but that th splendid indorsement by the voters is fully appreciated and that he ; vill endeavor during his next term of service to per- I form the duties of the office just as faithfully-and more so if he can see any way to do so-as he has during the dast four years. Paul Humphrey , son of Judge and Mrs , A. R. Humphrey , who was in the Forest service and located at Big Horn , Wyuming , I reached home last Sunday and will remain during the coming weekt.

Shares in th God ) Medal mines are now sel1 L- ing at 25 cents with indication of an advance during the nex : thirty days. g The ladies of the Baphs church served dinner and. suppe I- in the Temple theatre on electlo t : day and were quite liberally pa1 , d ornized because it is well know r by our citizens that whcn tb t Baptist ladies serve meals there la always something good to eat i Id sight and plenty of it with a s invitation from the waitresses t e- have some more. Everybody w , Ie well satisfied with the servi ( 1S and the ladies are pleased wit Ig the financial result of their U1 dert'iking : that they desire tl d REPUBLICAN to publicly exter ill their thanks to the citizens f4 patronage. . - : . . , l _ Crrbc clectiol1 rthlrtlS will be canvased tomorrow and will be published next wc k. l d. , Powell , clay opertltor at the depot , after n vacation of six I week , reported for duty last. . 11'riday.

' The 13-year old son of Doss Neth , residing' 5 miles southwest of the city suffered the loss of oue of his eyes yesterday after- noon. The boys were shooting at one another with bows and arrows when an arrow struck him in the eye and totally destroying - stroying the sight. ' Some fellows who evidently have but little gray matter in their dome of thought , have advanced - vanced the thcory that President Hoosevelt is to blame for the present financial situation. It is now up to the same fcllows to argue that the presidcnt is to blamc for the sbort CIop : of cggs and the high price of 'em. Last ThuTsday nig'ht was Hal- lo'ween but 111 Broken Bow it was not observcd in a boisterous - ous or unlawful manner which certainly reflects credit upon our young people. How much better it is to be able to report it in this manner than by stating that outbUIldings - bUIldings were turned ov r , property - erty destroyed or that the anatomy - my of some young man whi1e cutting up unlawful capers-was filled with bird shot. A. J. Robertson , of th.e U. S. Land office force , who h s assisted - ed many a settler to gct his bearings - ings properly and locate rightly , is now the rccipient of congratulations - lations it every shape , manner and style , coming by mail -telegraph - express - and by freight - charges pre p a i d- and all because h.e became the proud papa of a young Teddy Roosevelt-a future president , as a matter of fact-last Friday morning. Here's to the papa and here's to the boy , as we un. cover our bald spot and wisb them health , prosperity and joy. Horse Stolen-Thief Captyred. 'l'his afternoon people residing a few miles southeast of the city were approached by a stranger who had a horse he offered tJ sell. The horse was none other than. "Fashion , " Harry Ash's race horse , and soon Mr. Asb was getting telephoue message from all along the line betweel1 here and , Berwyn. Deputy Sherifl Thompson and Mr. Ash started on the trail and apprehended th { fellow , who gave his name a ! li'rank Masterson , of Butte , just this side of Berwyn. He had sold the horse for $15 , getting $ : cash , the balance to be paid it December. The $5 wa returne < to the purchaser and the horsl and fellow brought to town. ' I is such a clear case of hess swip I ing that it's sure the "pen' " fo him. Improving tbe Gas Plant. ' The foundation for a new build ing is being laid just east of thl , city hall for the gas plant whicl is to be greatly improved , althe for the past year the lights fur nished have been very satisfac tory. The subscribers for light have steadily increased until th plant is becoming remunerative which It was not until recentlJ and the company now feel tha they are warranted in making i up-to-date and first-class in ever respect , and with more new sui scnbers will furnish continuot1 service so that the gas mar 1 : used for cooking as well as 11gh. . and at the price the cOlapan offer it will be a great savin a over coal. There is but little differem between the price for gas ligh. and kerosene and the satisfa , tion of the gas more than offse that feature we are able to s from actual experience. President Rublee , of the cOtJ r pany informs us that the follm lUg are among the new take and we venture they will not r tnrn to the kerosene system : long as they can secure gas the low rate at which it is no furnished : H.
