Died.

At his home, three miles east OF this
city, on Thursday morning. October 7th,
1897, Of heart disease, Robert II. Rich
ardson, aged SO years, Z months and 10
days.
Robert ii. Richardson was born in
Sackvlle, Now Brunswick, on the 2lst
day of February, 1889. At an early
stage of his manhood he contracted
desire to become sailor, and number
Of years of his life were spent at sea.
On the 18th day of March, 1864, in the
town Of RameltoD, in the County Of
Donegal, Ireland, he married Miss Anna
Buchanan, returning soon after to Sack
Vile, where he established home,
remaining there until April 28th, 1883,
when be removed with his family to his
late residence near this city. In the
September following his arrival here,
his beloved wife was called to answer
the summons Of the grim messenger,
bringing upon him measure OF sorrow
which words are inadequate to express.
Later on, September Goth, 1890, bis
eldest son, Joseph, young man of rare
promise, and respected by all Of his
acquaintances, was called to join the
silent majority, in the eternal realms OF
the great beyond. Six years later, on
the 9th day Of February, 1896, his
youngest daughter, Mary, while visiting
with her sister in Lumberton. Missis-
sippi, was stricken with disease with
fatal result, which further intensified
the deep griefwhich he had been called
upon TO sustain.
Ofthe deceased it may be truly said,
that he was strictly honorable in his
business relations with his fellow man,
generous to a fault, affable and kind
and thrt he shared to marked degree
the personal esteem of his acquaint-
ances. Four brothers, two sisters, five
sons and three daughters survive him.
Three sons, Robert, Weldon and Carey,
and one daughter, Maggie, reside in
this place, one daughter, Mrs. T. j.
Webster, is residing at Lumberton, Mis-,
sissippi, one daughter, Mrs. james
/ Walsh, is q resident Of Johannesburg
South Africa, and two sons, Frederick
and Edward, are located at Havre, Mon
tana, with whom a large circle offriends
unite In profound sympathy in their
deep bereavement.
The funeral of the deceased, held al
the Congregational church in this city
on Sunday. the 10th inst, conducted by
Rev. Walter Radford, was largely at
tended. All of the surviving family o
the deceased were present except tive

The Time Extended.

At their last regular meeting. the
board Of county commissioners passed a
resolution, extending the time for the
abatement OF the penalty and interes,
on delinquent taxes from October lst TO
December lst.
Their action in this matter, in the
interest Of the farmers, who were un-
able to realize upon their products
within the time allowed by former
resolution passed by the board, will be
generally commended, and will doubt
less be attended with beneficial results
to the county, as has been the result Of
the former resolution referred to, which
expired by Limitation on Oct. lst, dur
ing the pendency of which, larger
amount of delinquent taxes have been
paid than ever before in the same
period of time in the county's history.
The large amount Of money paid over
to the county during the past few weeks
by delinquent taxpay ers is as gratifying
as it is surprising, as it was not believed
that there was so large an amount of
ready cash in the county available for
this purpose. 1t is gratifying to know
that, for considerable period, the tax
payers of our county were in position to
cancel their tax obligations to the ex-
tent of $500 to $4,000 per day. 1t must
os that prosperity is downing in Custer
county as we'll as in other parts of Uncle
Sans broad domain.
