held Saturdny evening only twenty-two

of North Platte have nearly $500,000
invested in the association, yet they do

directors and officers would feel better
if the stockholders turned out in full
numbers at this annual meeting.

A la Wallingford."
Goyer and Christiansen, late of the
Ritner house, seem to hnve been good
seconds to J. Rufus Wallingford nnd
Blackic Daw in their business trans
actions in North Platte. Depositing a
few hundred dollars in a local bank
when they first arrived, which amount
they boosted to $2,000 in their talk to
local business men, they succeeded in
establishing a credit which enabled
them to purchase about $2,000 worth
furnishings. In some instances they
made small payments to their cred
itors, but all the time "salted" part of
the receipts of the business, and for
the last thirty days of their 'business
career they seem to have "salted"
every dollar that came into their pos
sesion. Some of those more intimately
acquainted with the men and the busi
ness are of the opinion that the two
men carried mvay with them not less
than a thousand dollars each.
