Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-10-16

There can be no mistake made
this year in voting for the repub-
lican state nominees. They are
men capable and in every way
worthy of the high position for
which they have been selected.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-10-16

The fusionists, who realize that
it will be impossible to elect their
entire ticket this fall, we are
credibly informed have adopted
new tactics by which they hope
to elect part of their ticket. That
is to put forth special effort for
Thompson on the state ticket tor
governor and in every county, one
or two, as the conditions may
warrant will be singled out and
special effort will be made to elect
them at the sacrifice of all others.
In this county the candidate on
the Legislative ticket to be special
favored is ], ]. Tooley. AS the
party has but one candidate OH
their ticket, that for county at
torney he is to have the solid vote.
But with those two exceptions
the others are to be traded when
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-10-16

We are reliably informed by
one who has been over most of
the state in the past sixty days
that nearly every saloon in the
state is supporting w. II. Thomp-
son for governor and that his
picture can be found in every one
OF them. That means that
MIR. Thompson has made that
class concession that they could
not get of the republican candi-
date, Mickey. 1t will be interest
ing to, know how many OF the
temperance pops will cast their
vote in support of the saloon deal.

The Passing Of the
News Agent.

An order has recently been is
sued from the headquarters of the
Northern Pacific railroad to the
effect that hereafter the train boy
or news agent" will not be al
lowed on any of the trains Of that
system. Train brakemen will be
required to furnish newspapersfor
passengers when required.
This adds another nail in the
coffin of the news agent, who is
doomed sooner or later to become
a thing of the past. Some years
ago when the Burlington road in
troduced the buffet library car on
it's nesthe news agent was retired,
and slowly, year by year, other
roads have followed in it's wake
and dismissed the service, especi-
ally on their limited trains. Now
that one of the leading transcon-
tinental roads has issued the above
order the other roads will soon
follow suit.
The largest and best conducted
news service is that furnished by
the Geo, Allison company Of
Milwaukee. which controls the
agents on nearly all of the rail
roads Of the northwest through
their branch offices at the various
terminal and division points.
The life Of a news agent while
seemingly easy is nevertheless
tiresome, as it is a continual hus-
tie from morning to night, and
the best part of the night also, on
some of the runs. Those who
take this means of earning money
are mostly young men and boys
all the way from Is to 25 years Of
age, altho few make it their life
work and have been on the road
for many years. A great many
boys in the cities attending high
schools enter the service for runs
on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays
and during the long summer vaca-
ton, thereby earning money
enough to enter college or the uni
versity. Wherever you meet him
the @newsey" is jolly sort of
fellow They make a good deal OF
money and spend some. They are
always polite and never fail to do
a favor for a passenger if you ask
them in the right manner. Still
they are a terror to the unsuspect-
ing farmer taking his first trip on

Not a Good Indian Yet

Considerable has been said and
written of the fortitude with which
an Indian will endure pain, and
the rapidity of their recovery from
wounds. The truth that such
traits exist in at least one Indian
was demonstrated to my satisfac-
ton some years ago. The incident
occurred IN a new, overgrown,
overboomed town in one of our
western states. The writer was
employed in a drug store there at
the time, learning the trade of
bottle washing. The place had
commenced to adopt ways of civ
ilization; consequently the town
wasaroused one Tuesday afternoon,
when the people heard a fusilade
of pistol shots. j appears that an
Indian from the Wenatchee coun-
try, dubbed Yakima Charley" had
battered cayuse for quantity of
fire water, and after embibing
freely endeavored to emulate the
traditional prowess of his noble
forefathers by riding up and down
the main street with a revolver in
each hand, recklessly shooting
right and left.
It was evident that he would do
serious damage if not checked, so
at the last extremity the town
marshal drew his gun and sent
four shots after the red man. The
last shot hit the cayuse that was
ridden by the Indian. Itstumbled.
and the rider was unseated and
thrown violently to the ground.
Upon examining the PROSTATE
brave it was found that each of the
first three shots had found it's.
mark; two bullets had entered his
side and shoulder and the third
passed through the fleshy part of
his arm. In addition to this, there
was an ugly cash in his head,
which had struck the edge of the
sidewalk when he was thrown from
his cayuse.
He was carried into the drug
store and laid on a leather sofa
back of the prescription case. The
doctor, after an examination, pro-
nounced the wounds serious, and
gave as his opinion that there
would soon be another good In
gun" Several stitches were taken
and all the wounds bandaged. and
during all this the stolid face of
the Indian gave no sign Of pain,
nor did he become unconscious.
The doctor did not think the
patient could be removed with
safety to the railroad hospital, SO
it was decided to allow him to re-
main in the drug store. the marshal

no place on earth is the English

their way. but they count and

of Irish independence. The Irish
