THE TOWN MEETING.
Nominations Made for Town and School
Oficials-Eo Contest in Sight.

e" "omlnations Made Tor Town and School
oficlals-Eo Contest in Sight.
Not more than fifty of ths citizens Of
Custer attended the town meeting held
in the court house last Saturday even
ing. The majority of the voters re-
mained at home, trusting, no doubt,
that the few sufficiently interested to
attend would make wise selections
lie meeting was devoid Of exciting
contests, and judging from the number
of names proposed for each office. and
the promptness with which each in
turn decliped the honor, there had
been little ffany slate making going on.
Their fitness for the various Offices sug-
1-sted the names Of the different candi-
odes. and the most popular ones were
ciosen, provided they didn't positively
s1ssf@sS-ta ailn-- .hair names 10 be used
ID. w. McFadden, chairman Of the
present board of trustees, called the
meeting to order at $50 o'clock p. m.,
and read the call made by the town
clerk. Upon motion McFadden was
made chairman and NJ. A. Willis secre-
tary. The business of making nomina-
tions was then tackled, and it proved
rather tedious undertaking, as it was
not concluded until nearly midnight.
However, good feeling prevailed, and
that is probably one reason why the
meeting dragged as it did. The only
rivalry apparent was IN the effort to see
who should be so unfortunate as to be
nominated, rather than visa versa. The
ticket, town and school, is as follows:
TOWN OFFICIALS.
Members board Of trustees:
First Ward-I. NJ. Donaldson.
Second Ward A. II. Smith
Third Ward-D. F. Shope.
Fourth Ward-Dr Oliver Fisher.
Fifth Ward-D. Carrigan.
Treasurer-Edward Rogers.
Clerk +. Smith.
Justice Of the Peace. NJ. Lewis.
Marshal and Assessor-G. w. Gaylord
Constable-J. ;. PeltZ.
SCHOOL OFFICIALS.
Members Of Board of Education:
First Ward-G. w. Kimble.
Second Ward-Chas Porath.
Third Ward-G. w Reed.
Fourth Ward-Wm. 5. Wood.
Fifth Ward-W. w. Olds.
School Treasurer F A. Towner.
During the past week the ticket has
been pretty thoroughly discussed and it
seems to give general satisfaction. We
have learned of no movement to make
any other nominations, and it would be
difficult to see any good reason why
they should be made. The gentlemen
xeected are reputable citizens, have
every reason TO be interested in the
aelfaIe Of the town and its institutions
80 certainly are capable OF performing
the duties that will devolve upon them.
TSO or three OF the nominees have
talked some of taking their names from
the ticket, but We understand that they
have been persuaded not to do so. The
positions are thank less ones at best.
with no pay, considerable labor and an
abundance of criticism, but every citi-
zen must take his share of it some time
or other.

son determined that one battalion of the
mounted regiment, under Lieut.-COl. James
Johnson, should charge on the British regulars.
The other under the immediate command Of
Col. L. NJ. Johnson, was left to confront the
Indians; the rest of the army was drawn up in
support.
The men had moved forward but a short
distance when the enemy fired. This was the
signal for our cavalry to charge, and the whole
! body dashed through the enemy with irressti-
BILE force. Instantly forming in rear of the
British, and not far from the banks Of the
Thames River. they poured in destructive
fire. and were about to make q second charge,
when the British officers, finding 1t impossible
from the nature of the ground and the panic
which prevailed to form their broken ranks,
Immediately surrendered.
On the left the battle was begun by Tecum-
sch. The CALLING FIRE of the Indians did not
check the advance of the Americans, but the
charge was unsuccessful, from the miry char
aeter of the soil and the number and closeness
of the thickets which covered it, Seeing this,
Col. Johnson gave the command for his men to
dismount, and leading them up second time
succeeded, after a desperate struggle, in break
ing through the line of Indians and gaining
their rear.
Notwithstanding this, and that the Colonel
now directed his men to fight them in their
own way, the Indians were unwilling to yield
the day, and quickly collecting their principal
strength, attempted to penetrate the line OF
infantry which was in support. At first they
made an impression on it, but they were soon
repulsed by the aid of regiment of Kentucky
volunteers, led on by Gov. Isaac Shelby.
The combat now ragged with increasing fury.
the Indians to the number of 1000 seeming
determined to maintain their ground to the
last The terrible voice of Tecumseh could be
distinctly heard encouraging his warriors. and
although beset on every side except that of the
morass, they fought with more determined
courage than they had ever before exhibited.
An incident however now occurred which
eventually decided the contest. The gallant
Col. Johnson went toward the place where the
Indians, closing in around their undaunted
chief seemed determined to die by his side,

he rode rendering him a conspicuous object,
