influential citizens of Custer

restore his health, but without
avail. At the present time he is
. being kept alive by opiates, but
for his rugged constitution he
would have succumbed some time

he rallies at times. He takes M

lis a constant sufferer. All friend:

, room. When the final messag,
comes the county will suffer the
loss of a good man.
