CUSTER COUNTY ASKS RELIEF
Some Scheme Must Be Devised for Col
lection Of Taxes.
PRESENT SYSTEM ENTIRELY INADEQUATE
Delinquent Real Estate Taxes Can
only lie Collected After the
Lands Have Bccn APP
praised and sold.

Senator +. NJ. Currie of Broken Bow is in
the city. Mr.. Currie comes from the home of
Judge Holcomb and Congressman KEN, and
was the only republican elected from the
district
Speaking of the coming session Of the
legislature, the senator said that the west
ern part of the state would have some
important matters to bring before the law
makers, the most urgent of which is an
amendment TO the revenue law. "Custer
county" said the senator has enough
money to her credit in the form of de-
linqucnt taxes to pay its running expenses
for three years and we will ask the legis-
lature to devise n plan by which We can
secure the greater part of these funds.
Under the existing conditions practically
all real estate taxes have to be collected
by sales the same as in the foreclosure
of mortgage The property has to be
appraised and must bring two-thirds Of
the appraised valuation. In the case Of
many western counties the county has
to be the purchaser in order to secure its
lien, and to do this must, in many in
stances, pay to the holder of the title in
the land several hundred dollars. II much
property is sold to the counties under this
system they would find their funds ex-
hdustcd.
ut has been suggested that the legis
laturc provide that, IN the case of sale OF
property for taxes, the valuation be dis
pensed with and let the land bring what
1t will at forced sale Whether this pro-
vision would be constitutional or not l do
not know but some scheme must be de.
vised for the collection of taxes.
Another thing that we will push will
be Van Boskirk's brand law. II is in
tended to restrict the operation of cattle
thieves and provides that where butchers
kill beef in places not provided with an
inspector they are to keep a list of the
brands of such cattle. which shall be open
to public inspection, and that where farm
ers or others kill cattle occasionally and
sell on the market they shall display the
brand Of such cattle at the time of sale.
These are the two most important subjects
in which our part of the state is interested
but there may be other things brought up
between now and the meeting Of the legis-
laturc."

for the defendant corporation say the pro-
ceeding Is a friendly one looking to an

land in question than that which the ap-
pralsers are awarding.

found you guilty of manslaughter," he said
land that means where a man dies as the
result OF a blow given without intent to

serious warning TO all young men, as well
as old never TO drink. ] have no sympathy
for you cause Of the brutality you di played
that night, but / thinE that a short

easily. and let 1t be lesson TO you not TO

CONDUCTOR SEVERELY HURT
Edward Locke Mny Lose His Life as
the Result of an
Accident.

Edward Locke, one of the Oldest and most
popular passenger conductors running into
Omaha, was severely injured yesterday
morning and as the result of the accident
had his left leg amputated at the knee
Mr.. Locke was In charge of the Missouri
Pacific passenger train which left Omaha
Sunday night enroute for Kansas City.
At Union, where the train arrives at IL :O5
midnight, considerable switching is neces-
sary owing to the cutting out of the Lin
coin coach. Ordinarily the conductor has
little TO do with the switching, but yester-
day morning Mr.. Locke relieved his brake
man Of some OF his duties and in doing so
suffered the accident that proved so dis
astrous
The tracks were slippery with snow and
while attempting to board the train when
IL was moving Mr. Locke missed his foot
ing and fell on the rails. The train passed
over his body and so mangled the lower ex-
tremities of his left leg that II had to
be amputated. His right leg was also badly
crushed and portion of the foot had to
be amputated. The train was held at Union
until the surgeons work was completed
and then MIR. Locke was taken to his home
in Kansas City. Telegraphic reports re-
ceived from Kansas City are to the effect
that Mr.. Locke might be unable to recover
from the severe shock, as his condition now
Is somewhat critical

At no time in the history of disease has
there been such an alarming increase in the
number OF cases OF any particular malady
as in that OF kidney and bladder troubles
now preying upon the people of this coun-
try.
Today we see a relative, n friend or an
acquaintance apparently well and in few
days we may be grieved to learn CT their
serious illness or sudden death, caused by
that fatal type of kidney trouble-Bright s
disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes advanced
into acute stages before the afflicted is
aware of its presence; that is why we read
OF so many sudden deaths OF prominent
business and professional men, physicians
and others. They have neglected to stop
the leak In time.
While scientists are puzzling their brains
to find out the cause each individual can,
by a little precaution, avoid the chances Of
contracting dreaded and dangerous kidney
trouble or eradicate 1t completely from
their system IL already afflicted. Many
precious lives might have been and many
more can yet be saved by paying attention
to the kidneys.
