Cut of His Jib
Landed Montana
Youth in Jail
A curse cn n'l ta;!'rs- cn-l v t'if
vaps lm (!o-;trn men's rlotl.irir! At
least thi .- i;- tlie opin.on of Carey
Kitcliie, n'n"tren- ear-ill Mnnt:ma
youth who is now l.-ifiuu Vliinjr in the
county jail, serving the first week of a
Hvty-'day jail ;rntrnce hamlol him hy
fount v .IikIo Tn.-h n the rlwrjrp of
having intoxicating liUor in his os
.cssion. It was the cut of his jili that ruined
Kitchie.
The Montana hul was rliscoveied in
the Harvey cafe .shortly in't"r 1 a. m.
fin Twln'y last, !y OlTicer SLilwcll.
He was Kcateil at tlie counter, await
ing the arrival of an order of h.nii
und when the cop cami in. The
Montanan win sprawled over the
counter, hi:- head nn his hands. Un
fortunately lie wore' a coat that was
split up the hack. Noho.ly known .juM
vhv they t-fdit coats in this outland;sl
fashion. It does the wearer no rood,
j nd in this cae it cost him sixty days
in jail. 1'or his coat tails, v.bin spread
disclosed a pint flask of what looked to
Officer St i I well like hoo7.e. A closer
exnrr.ination established the fact.
Kitrhie was t.-'ken to the city jail.
When searched at tho police station,
another pocu'iar thine wavdiscovered.
In another pocket of his apparel was
found a funnel. The presence of thi
was never satisfactorily explained. It
may he that it was u.-ed to pour new
whisky into old 1hUIcs, or it may have
linen used for purposes of painless
administration.
The Montana lad pulled an alibi, of
course, but he didn't pet away with it.
According to his story, he had found
the ho'.tle, with the funnel perched on
top of it, lying hesil" the sidewalk ex
actly two blocks east of King's Corner.
He persisted in maintaining the truth
of this yarn, and rather vexd the cops,
who said that they had been walking
the streets for months and had never
yet seen a bottle of hooch unattended.
Uitchic was taken to the county jail
Wednesday morning, and early Thurs
day morning was given a hearing he
fore Judge Tash. He entered a plea
of guilty, and put up a pathetic stall
about how no one would believe the
absolute truth concerning the way he
rame into possession of the booze.
County Attorney Ilayse had him
charged with two counts, one illegal
possession and the other the transport
ing of contraband wet goods, but
Judge Tash figured that he could hand
out n sufficiently h"avy penalty on the
first count. He thereupon gave the
Montana boy thirty days on the charge
of having the stuff in his possession,
end a second thirty days for lying
about the way he came into possession
of it.
Sheriff M'ller has a hunch that
young Ritchie knows considerable
about the wet goods traffic in Alli
ance, and once or twice the youth, who
fully understands how many hours
there are in sixty days, has shown
signs of kicking in with some valuable
information. So far, however, he has
nobly upheld his honor and protected
the source of supply. Whether, as time
noes on. be will weaken remains to be
seen. This is poor weather to stay in

Alliance Keo Men
Attend Auto Show
at Omaha Auditorium
Calvin I. Walker and Hill Floyd,
both of the A. H. Jones company of
this city, attended the automobile
show which recently closed at Oma
ha. They returned to Alliance the
first of the week, reporting a large
attendance from over the state and
the usual amount' of interest in the
new model.
According to Mr. Walker, the 1021
cars show no radxal repartures, either
;n design or material, fiom the pres
ent models. The manufacturers seem
to have their machines pretty weii
standardized, and save for minor im
provements, there is but little indica
tion that the new mJdels are any dif
ferent from the old.
There was but little of the flashy
stuff apparent, most of the manufac
turers sticking to standard colors, as
well as designs. A yenr or so ago, it
was common to see a perfect riot of
colors, but this year's show sees few
cars which are not of the standard
blue, green, red, brown or bjack.
There were no brilliant purples in evi
dence. The automobile industry has experi
enced something of a shakeup during
the past year or so, and Mr. Walker
declares that the show proved the old
adage about the survival of the fit
test. There were a number of vacant
stalls at the auditorium, several man
ufacturers being conspicuous by their
absence.

Index-Appeal.
G. L. Shumway will carry to the '
state supreme court h's action agaimt
S. K. Warrick for $100,000 damages;
for alleged libel, says the Scottsblulf
News.
After Judge Westover Monday had
sustained the defendant's demurrer
and dismissed the action, the plaintiff
prepared for an appeal.
"The Shumway-Warrick case is not
ended, but the question of law will be
argued in the supreme court. This
court formerly held that libellous mat
ter was not priviliged. Judge West
over now overturns the former opinion
of Judge Hobart. The court says that
no matter how vicious or malicious the
statement may be. when filed with the
banking board, the libeller becomes im
mune from prosecution and liability,
said Mr. Shumway Tuesday morning.

ONE MINUTE STORE TALK
"You folks are certainly to be congratulat
ed upon your courage and optimism in pre
paring such a very large showing of spring
clothes. Time was when the conduct of a
clothing store did not take so much thinking
ahead. It must be a revelation to every man
who comes here and who stops to think of the
far-reaching service you strive to offer and
succeed in so admirably," commented a cus
tomer.
