Tax Levy Election in Custer. BROKEN BOW, Neb., Feb, 13.—(Special.) —The question’ of voting a G-mill levy In Custer county for the purpose of bullding' & new court house to take the placa of that burned some time ago is now upper- most In the minds of the people. The elec- tion Is calleq for March 1, and it is thought among the pedple here that the levy will carry. While most countles find it neces- sary to vote bonds for court house pur- poses, the excellent financlal condition in Custer county makes it possible to en- tively wips out the debt with a 5-mill levy in one year, Some opposition has deyel- oped In certaln parts of the county, where the aivision sentiment is the strong principally at, Callowdy, Ansley and gent, which towns have always been pros- pective county seats under proposed division lines. A report has been gircu- lated that the 5-mill levy was to be made on the actual value Instead of the assessed value of the coumty and that Instead of ralsing $25,000 for this court house, which would be the amount raised on the as- sessed valuation, that the levy on the actual’ value would raise five times that amount. Ex-Supreme Judge Silas A. Hol- comb has come out 1n_the local papers wih @ signed statement that there is no law whereby the levy could be made on the actual valuation and that such pro- ceedingy would be absplutely impogsible. This letter has had great effect in stralght- enfng this feature of the election in the minds of the general public here, ¥ James Woods Refused Divorce.

Casey Moran, however, I8 perhaps best known Taroughout the world because of the most sublime fake which he worked off while doing newspaper work. In Alaska news is far from plentiful and there are periods when a man has plenty of time to dream. During one of these bromidean perfods Casey decided to dis- cover Noah's ark. He obtained a Bible and a table of weights and measures, found out from the former the size of Mr. Noah's original boat In cubits and with the ald of the latter turned cubits into feet and then he wrote his story. It was a graphlc account of the story of the remnants of Noah’s menagerie, Which was llhm t6 have been found by the ways_in pairs. The story was sent.. to a Soattle paper orlginally and was there copfed into practically every newspaper in the United States and was - subse- quently translated into about every known language, and now Casey Moéran is In Washington. If he remains here long it is a safe prediction that some of the yarns sent out from Alaska to the na- tional capital will be startlers. He fg already telling some stories of his expe- riences in the far north and here is one of them: “Up In Dawson in the old days” sald Mr. Moran with every appearance of quoting the truth, “there wasa Canadian justice named Constantine. He was the most wonderful law officer that ever graced a bench. But, holy smoke, how he could sWear.. This Judge Constantine | had an ugly habit of fining people promiscuously, so to speak. I hgppened to be In his court one day wheh Pote Mulcahy was on trial for an assault upon Belle Mead. After lfstening to the evi- dence Judge Constantine fined Pete $25 and costs. The cost was $6. Pate pulled out a $50 bill. The judge looked into his desk and could not find any change. He thereupon increased the fine to $50 without costs and kept the entire bill. Then he turned to Belle, whése face was somewhat distigured, and sald to her: “You have just come in here with all that blood on your face to create sympathy in this court. I fine you $10 and warn | you to keep out of Pete's place and then you won't get into no row.’ This seemed {to be so ridiculous I smiled, and there- upon the judge turned to me, called me up to,the desk and fined me §10 for con- tempt of court.” Limberger Cheese by Mail, One of the loudest protestors agalnst the ' present rate of postage on newspapers ana | magazines is a member of congress Who owns a cheese factory.
