HIRAM C00L. WAS ARRESTED,
Charged With Bastardy-Preliminary
Hearing February 5th,

Hiram Cool of Merna, son of
James Cool, was arrested auc
brought to this city last Friday
by sheriff Kennedy, on the charge
of bastardy. The charge was
filed by Miss Fanny Gibbs of An
selmo, who has been living with
her Uncle George Shankland,
about Is miles west of this city.
In the County Court, Saturday
afternoon, Cool plead not guilty
and the preliminary hearing was
set for Feb. 5th. II seems that
Cool and some other boys in the
neighborhood had knowledge Of
the possible filing of such a
charge last summer and they all
left. Cool returned after time,
thinking that the matter had
blown over and then {, a5irg
again that he might get into
trouble, left for Kearncy, an un-
successful effort was made by the
officers to catch him in the vicin-
ity OF Kearney, Cool again return
ed about two weeks ago to his
fathers place north OF the West
Table. Sheriff Kennedy was in
formed of his return with the
above result.

SARGENT BRIDGE COMPLETED.
The Bridge Committee Inspected cOmplet.
ed Structure | ast Week And are
Well Pleased

Supervisors Cushman and Lee
OF the Fridge Committee of the
County Board went over to Sar-
gent last week to inspect the Sar-
gent Steel bridge after its com
pletlon by the Standard Bridge
Company. The Supervisors seem
very well pleased with the bridge
and they state that is was nearly
as il could possibly be to the
specification in the bids.
The bridge is built across the
Loup river one mile south Of Sar-
gent and is 242 feet long This
is the first steel bridge ever built
in the county. The state engi.
neer estimated that the bridge
would cost something like $40, 600
The original cost Of The strnc-
ture was to have been about
IS, 500. A change in The length
ofsthe steel tubes was made by
the Bridge Committee after the
contract was awarded. The
quick sand formation in the river
bed made it seem advisable 70
sink the tubes ten feet deeper
and this made an additional cost
of about 81, 500, making the total
cost of the bridge about $1,000.
The wood bridge which was in
before was very expensive one
to keep in repair owing to It's
great length and the heavy trav.
el across it. The steel bridge is
more costly for the time being
than a new one would have been
but the members of the County
Board believe that in the end it
will prove more economical than
a new wood bridge would have
been because il cannot be taken
out by a food or an ice gorge and
it will last :nuch longer. This
may work new era in Custer
County's bridge building and re-
suit in nothing but steel bridges
being put in, since the members
Of the Board feel so we'll satisfied
with this one.

THEY ARE GOOD MATERIAL,
The AuSley Argosy Says That Ford And
Porter Would just Suit The
Ansley People,

Under the head of "Pickiug
Good Material" the Arsley Ar
COSY has the following to say
about two AusleY men who may
be candidates, for Republican
nominations next August.
According to statements APP
peariug in the county seat papers
the political bee is beginning to
buzz as if about to venture out.
Among the mention of possible
candidates we are able TO recog-
nize the names of two Of Ansley's
prominent citizens, n. Dwight
Ford being mentioned as a possi-
bic aspirant for the office of Couu-
ty Judge aud George Porter as a
candidate for the Office of Regis
ter of Deeds, in which Office he
is now ably filling the position of
deputy.
When shown the mention of
candidates for the Office Of County
Judge, N. Dwight Ford said that
he was in the hands OF his friends
and would abide by the wishes of
his party.
Should the present cucumber
ent of the Office of County Judge
conclude that he has served the
people OF Custer county as long
as lie desires to in that position !
we know of no one who is better
qualified TO ably fill the Office of |
County Judge than our townsman,
n. Dwight Ford, and should he |
decide to enter the race he may |
feel assured of Our support.
The mention Of George Porter
as a possible candidate for the
Office Of Register of Deeds is re-
ceived with approval and should |
he decide to make the race for
the Office the Argosy will stand
ever ready TO help him on to vic
tory as we know that he is quail
fied to fill the Office in an upright
and honorable manner and with
due credit to Custer county as well
as himself.

MORE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
A Number of Men Talked of as Possible

The Democratic political bees
have been doing a little more buz.
zing in the last week and several
new men have been suggested as
possible timber for Office chairs
IN the court house. Geo. Flem-
ing, farmer who lives near Ber-
wyn, is being talked OF as a pos
sible Democratic candidate for
county clerk, against Geo. Head

the sixth district; some Of the
Democrats hope 10 be able to in.
duce Clarence Meckcy Of Ansley,
to become a candidate for county
treasurer, Joe Wilson Of Ansley,
is known to have aspirations to
become county sheriff, and he
may enter the race 70, the nomi-
nation next August. john Ha.
ney of Merna, is mentioned as
possible candidate Tor register Of
deeds or for the treasurership, in
case that Mackey refused to be a

RANSOM OPPOSED BY TAYLOR.
Wants to Canvass Vote On Amendments
So That New Governor Can Ap.
poia' Supreme Judges But
Sheldon's May Stand,

Lincoln Neb. Jan 13--(SpEc1Ar,
coRREsPoNDENcR) The first day,
tuesday, of the 31st session of
the Nebraska legislature was
confined largely to carrying out
the Democratic caucus program of
organization by electing the eau.
Gus nominees in both senate and
house and arranging the prelim-
tnares for the jointed session on
the following pay for the canvass
OF the vote cast in November for
state officers. Secretary of State
Junkin opened proceedings in the
house, at high noon, the house
completed its permanent organ-
ization and adjourned to Wednes-
day. Lieutenant Governor
Hopewell performed the same
duty in the senate, which also
completed its organization and
adjourned TO the same date.
When the joint session of Sen.
ate and house met in the Hall of
the House on Wednesday it was
soon apparent that in addition to
canvassing the vote for state
oiticers that ii was the intention
OF an apparent goodly majority of
OF the Democrats under the lead
ership Of Senator Ransom to de.
inand and carry out, if possible, a =
recadvass of the votes cost on the
constitutional amendments this
being the opening wedge to the
ousting from the supreme court of
the four new judges appointed
by Governor Sheldon. and the
substitution of new appointments
at the hands of incoming Cover
nor Shellenberger.
Ahls issue Ransom pushed to
the front as soon as the Joint ses-
sion was under way. but ran foul

Gratis were not with him in this
project, particularly some of the
house members-Taylor of Gus

uously and declaring that the
vote had been legally aud proper
ly canvassed by the state canvass
ing board and that. the Joint
session was without authority of
law to undertake the canvass
OF the amendment vote. Ransom
is brilliant lawyer and a hard
fighter but in this issue the
Custer county farmer had much
the best of the contest and r;ddled
the pretentions of Ransom both
as to law and the alleged facts.
Senator King of Osceola led
the Republican opposition and
showed that Ransom's pretention
that he was following Republican
precedent because the last session
canvassed the railway COM

not so canvassed aud the appar-

al error of the clerk who com.
Piled the printed record. after
an hours debate the issue was
not solved but transferred 10 the
future by a motion of Senator
Oils to make January 12 the day

joint session. THIS was effected
by nearly strickly partisan
Democratic vote. On Thursday

county schools, instead of
the total amount being used by
the county, as a great many peo.
pie assume. 1t will be noticed
that the school tax of S40,000.00
is over twice the amount Of the
county tax; This shows that the
cost of maintaining the County
Government is a great deal less
than the cost of N maintaining the
Township Governments, less than
one half the cost Of maintaining
the schools. The average man
then pays S2,25 towards the main.
tenauce of the schools and $l75
towards the township fund, for
every dollar that he pays to main
tain the County Government.
AS far as the local taxes are
concerned then, the county tax is
comparatively small; the average
man pays very little attention to
the levy and expenditures of
money in his local township,
though he does great deal of
kicking about the tax that he
pays. The figures are a positive
proof that instead of holding the
county responsible for the amount
of taxes collected, the voter

year the real estate valuation in
this county and over the state
was greatly increased and though
the levies we're lowered, there is
still an impression that the taxes
are higher than they have been

to know why this is the case and

inclined to assume that any in
