DivisiOnistS Meet
and Plan to Divide Up
Custer County Again
Cut Her Square is Slogan in Re-
newed Fight to Get Relief
Demanded.

GRAND ISLAND. Neb. Dec. 17.--(Spe-
cial. Gut her square was the shibbo-
leth decided upon Tor the next division
fight by about fifty unrelent.ng Custer
county divisionists who met In this city to
agree upon the main outlines OF the next
fight
Judge J. r. Rhoades Of Ansley acted as
chairman Of the meeting with T. r. Roush.
editor Of the Galloway queen. as secre-
tary. J. w. Lundy Of Sargent was chosen
president OF the permanent organization
THE Custer County Division association
George Ranger treasurer, and Mr.. Roush
secretary.
According to the division to be proposed
for the next election. the southwestern
corner OF the present Custer viii be called
Custer, the northwest, Othello the north
east Corn. and the southeast Rose
county. A committee, consisting OF r. c.
Brega, ]. T. Bridges and A. H. Shepard
submitted a lengthy declaration Of princi-
Piles and division. It sets forth that the
wisdom and experience Of ages has demon
strated that the ideal county should not
be larger than twenty-four miles; that ex-
ceptions to this rule should be made only
where there are sparse settlement and i'm
poverished land; that some Custer county
citizens are now compelled to travel from
100 to $50 miles TO reach the county seat
that delay in division means only increased
expense; that Broken Bow not satisfied
with entailing an expense Of SIS 900 on the
county's taxpayers, was again demanding
a special election to make levy for a new
court house; that a large balance In the
hands Of county officers belonging to road
districts townships and school districts
is not always used to the greatest ad-
vantage of taxpayers, but il made a means
OF defeating county division; that litigants
cannot, without division, attend court with
out great expense thus measurably denying
the right Of trial; that, as a result of such
denial, more serious crimes are committed
individuals taking the law into their own
hands, as witness the cases OF State
against Haddix, in which murder was com
mitted; State against Dennis. State against
Carlin and others: that this taxation with
out representation, be condemned: that
the Broken Bow banks carrying county de-
posts have in the last ten years not COM
piled with the law on daily balances and
interest as have the banks in other Custer
county cities, but effected settlement by
compromise; that all county officers should
be thoroughly investigated by an expert
accountant and that another vigorous and
energetic county division campaign should
be waged at this time, never relenting
until the question is settled for all time to
come by proper division Of the county,"

FIRE INSURANCE. WAR AT YORK
Eastern Companies Cut Rates Thirty
to Seventy Per Cent.


to Seventy Per Cent.
YORK. Neb Dec. 17.-(special)- Com
mencing five years ago, fire insurance
agents representing eastern fire insurance
companies commenced to cut insurance
rates on all kinds Of fire Insurance. risks
For tho last three years rates made by
well-known eastern insurance companies
have reduced Insurance rates in York 80
to 70 per cent less than the same COM
psnies are writing the same class OF risks
in other towns and cities in Nebraska
The same companies have agencies in
every city and town in Nebraska, and a
comparison OF rates charged shows that
from Is to rs per cent more is charged
than in York. For a term Of years busl-
ness buildings are written as low as 80
cents to $40 per 800 insured. Stocks Of
merchandise are written for one year as
low rs 80 cents per each 800 insured and
combined insurance on dwelling houses for
a term Of five years is written as low as
90 to 70 cents for each 500 insured. The
same rate applies to insurance on house
hold goods.
In speaking with a local agent, he
claimed that his companies raised a howl
because they were not getting business
ana Wueu Ane speCidl agent Nlhut u WISH
here he called on business men and found
insurance was written at lower rates than
in nearly any other city in Nebraska and
then called on the agent, saying: I'VE
want business in York. We don't want
you to cut rates, but ask you to meet any
rate made" This is not only true in one
agency, but same instructions have been
received by nearly every insurance agent
in York. York property owners are not
complaining, because a number know that
the rates here made by the same com
psnies having agencies in other cities and
towns are much less, and all that is neces-
sary for a property owner to get less
rate than his neighbor is 10 invite compe-
tltion and he will get the lowest rate. The
rates are so low in York that Nebraska
insurance companies have been nearly
driven from York.
