IT WENT THROUGH.

The Macbeth democratic tick
ct was nominated at Mackay as
predicted. The ''slate" went
through by acclamation, all one
had to say that he was for Mac,
and he was nominated. but the
voters have the last say in the
matter at the ballot box on the
4th day of November, and they are
quite liable to say by their votes
that they want a party in power
next time who dare tax the rich
as we'll as the poor.
The ticket as nominated is COM
prised of six of the present Office
holders, with a few new candi-
dates put on the ticket just for
the looks of the thing. 1t is as
follows
Senator-R. Macbeth.
Representative. Fitzpatrick
Sheriff-Wm. Bowen.
Auditor-G. E. Keyes.
Assessor-Al. Criswell.
Treasurer-Alice Felkner.
School upt.-Martha keenan,.
Probate judge. G. Finnell.
Attorney-W. Adamson.
Coroner-A. Gailbraith.
Surveyor-R. Howell.
Commissioners-Chas. Graves,
F. Uehern, Geo. Dearden.
But as well planned as this
"slate" ticket was, there was
much dissatisfaction manifested
by the people, consequently a
mass meeting was called, which
was largely attended by the vot-
ers of Mackay and other pre-
cincts, and after due deliberation
it was decided to call primaries
on Oct. 9th, and hold conven-
ton at Challis on Oct. 9Th, to
nominate a full set of county Off
GERS. The new move is backed
by some of the best and most in
fluential men in the county. The
new ticket to be nominated will
be known as 1.-THE CITIZENS
TICKET" and is ticket which
will represent the laborers and
tax payers of Custer county-the
common people-not the agents
of corporations.
Since the new ticket has enter
ed the field it has put another
phase on the political situation
in Custer county. The Macbeth
ticket was at ease for it had a
lead pipe cinch on all the county
offices until this new party enter
ed the arena. Now things have
changed Fond hopes have
been blasted, and the old ship is
at sea and shipwrecked. Sure
things sometimes get away, for
nothing in this life is sure but
death and taxes-in Custer coun-
ty-taxes for the poor, while the
millionaire virtually escapes tax
alton. Verify, politics makes
Iqueer bed.fellows.

Desperate Ruse of Beers Fail.

In the northern section the Beers
made desperate effort to break
through. Collecting a number of cat
tie the Beers drove them down on
the British lines. Bending low in
their saddles the Beers rode among
the cattle, making it impossible to
distinguish them in the darkness.
The British pickets opened a terrible
fire and the Beers were everywhere
met with a relentless hail of bullets.
long line of flame ran up and down
the firing line, nearly 80 miles in
length, as the armored trains flashed
their search lights over miles of coun-
try. The reports of the quick firing
guns along the entrenehed line and
the booming of the field guns and
pom-poms sounded deep amid the
sharp cracking of the musketry.
while Hebron fort contributed TO
the universal din with the deep roar
Of its naval gun.
This lasted for 20 minutes, when
gradually the rattle died down until
only the crack of single shots was
heard Then all was again quiet.
The Beers attempt to break the
British circle had failed. A few of
them succeeded in crossing the line,
end among them was General De Wet

Gen. De Wet Among Those Who Got
Away-conflct Picturesque
and Exciting.

London, Feb. lathe detailed ac-
counts which have just reached here
of Lord kitchener's combined move
ment to drive out the Beers from the
enclosure of blockhouse lines show
that the conflict was very picturesque
and the most exciting incident of the
whole campaign. Although appar-
emily surrounded by an impenetrable
ring of fire and steel, the Beers
dauntless bravery and dashing
charges ultimately resulted in the
majority escaping from the meshes
of Kitchener's close drawn net
Line Over Fifty Miles In Length.
The British commanders scheme
consisted of continuous line over
80 miles in length. General Kiteh-
ener, who personally conducted thu
operations, was in close touch day
and night with every detail of the
movements. The Beers, though hard
pressed, shrank from attempting to
cross the railroad, which was pa
trolled throughout the night by ar
mored trains, equipped with powerful
search lights. The train lights were
supplemented by stationary search
lights. By the side of the railroad
were the dark forms Of men lying in
trenches or standing doing sentry
duty.
The battle at Hebron ragged from
8 O'Clock Friday night until 2 O'CLOCK
Saturday morning. Throughout the
five hours a fearful ring of fire from
rifles, cannon and pom-poms. swept
along the British lines, in holding
De Vets Beers, who made repeated
attempts to break out of the circle of
troops. From various positions, be-
hind rocks and dongas, the Beers
kept up a vigorous fusilade, hoping
to find weak spot in the line. Sim
ultaneously others charged, but again
and again were the Beers repulsed,
leaving the dead, wounded and pris-
oners in the hands of the British.
The Beers were split up into three
forces. On Thursday night 500 Beers,
headed by Van Golfers, rushed a force
of the imperial light horse, yelling
Storm, burghers. About 100 Beers
got through, but the remainder, en-
countering a tremendous fire, were
turned back
Friday nights conflict ebbed and
swelled over an area of 40 to SO miles,
in which the long-hunted, harassed
and desperate men endeavored to find
outlets.
