Unpaid Check For Salary For His

Last Services Mysteriously
Recovered.
BISMARCK, N. D., Sept. 23.-The
tragic death of Gen. Custer and his
gallant men at the hands of the
Sioux Indians in the massacre OF
the Little Big Horn was recalled
here this week. by the forwarding
to Mrs. Custer of check for $500
drawn to the order Of Gen. Geo. A.
Custer in 1876. The check is dated
June % and signed by b. l.. Smith,
at that time assistant paymaster
OF the army. 1t was on June %,
1876, that the massacre took place,
The check is still unpaid, and soiled
and tattered though it be, consti.
tutes a valid claim against the
government for the amount repre-
scented upon its face which was no
doubt intended as part payment OF
Gen. Clusters salary as an officer OF
the United States army. Where
the check has been all these years
no one knows, least Of all Michael
Francis, who found it in the street
here last February and who has re-
tained it until now. When Fran
els picked 1t up, the bit Of paper
was almost as legible as when 1t
was drawn, but three heavy creases
In it showed that it had been car
ried in pocket book until it had
been worn through. No endorse
ment appears on the back Of the
check and the face shows the mark
of no cancellation, demonstrating
that the check was never presented
for payment. Had it reached those
in charge of the soldiers effects, 1t
would have been sent back at once
in order that one payable to his
widow could have been sent in it's
place. The chances are that it was
mislaid last February and swept
into the street, where it was found
by Mr.. Francis.

QUITE A TANGLE
Among the Republicans Down in the
Eighth Ward.
The Councilmen Evenly Divided
Over the Question Of Who Shall
Represent the Ward on the New
Gas Board-Talk of a Primary
Election to Settle 1.-THE Super
entendency Of the Works.

At the Republican caucus last Janu-
ary the Republicans of the Eighth
ward were promised one member OF thu
Gas Board and the privilege OF recon-
mending a clerk under the Board. As
a result Of this promise the Republican
Councilmen OF the Eighth ward have
already commenced to figure on the
desired trustee.
Messrs. DR.. Stathers, Fred Williams
and Christian Kalbitzer are pushing
Godfrey Schul to the front for the place,
while Thomas Davidson, David Hahne
and Conrad Utermohlen favor Dr.. H.
T. Ford. Several meetings were held,
but to no avail, as a deadlock seems TO
prevail and neither side would give
way 10 the other AT third meeting
last week the friends OF DR.. Ford Of
cred a compromise, rendering the sec
retaryship of the Gas Board to Godfrey
SchuI. To this the friends Of Mr..
Schul would not listen, as they propose
to push their man to the front and
win.
Since the last meeting several of the
Ford advocates have suggested a pri-
mary election to be held in the Eighth
ward by the Republicans to select the
man who is to represent the Eighth
ward on the Board. The expense which
would be caused by such a primary is
to be betrayed by both contesting fac
tons.
Mr.. Frank Thompson, Of the Third
ward. is said to be formidable candi-
date for the SUPPLEMENTARY, and is
said to be slated as a sure winner. Mr..
