The first half Of the game was played
within the two 30-yard lines with the
exception of one run which scored
Libby their first touchdown.
The second half was played in Bon

ing a purely defensive game. In this
period the team went wild; the line
knocked them down and dragged them
out to make way for the backfield who
carried the ball over for four touch

COUNTY TAXES NOW DUE SAYS
COUNTY TREASURER BESSEY

The Taxpayers of Lincoln County
have until November 30, 1885, in which
to pay their first installnent of 1895
taxes. After that date, if the taxes are
not paid, 2 per cent penalty will be
added, and interest will accrue at the
rate of per cent per annum, or two
thirds of | per cent month until
paid.
County Treasurer Vernon Bessey
reports the following facts:
Thus far in October, the treasurer
office has. collected S2,l3186 in de-
linquent taxes covering all years de-
linquency. Since the first of January,
1885, $14,250.46 has been collected. In
October s3,7O495 has been collected on
1885 real estate-first representatives.,
and 81, 1887 on 1885 personal property
taxes
The principal reason the taxpayers
are paying their delinquent taxes now
is to take advantage of the special law
enacted at the last session of the legis-
lature, providing for the payment of
delinquent taxes, where there has
been tax sale executed, with a re-
mission of penalty and interest charges
if paid on or before December /, 1885.
This is special privilege to the tax
payers at this time.
