Wilcox brO- Many Will Join the Wolf Hunt The committee on arrangements in charge of the wolfhuntrthat is to -be held December 29, has received word from several of the towns 'over the county that they will send good repre sentations. N. S. Purbaugh of Wallace -was in the city Wednesday and stated that he would join in the chase with twenty-five dogs. He will advance with the south line. Word has hcen received from Max well that a number of men from there will help bring up the east line, and word coming in from other places prom ises a good representation. When it was announced that guns would be left out, except in a few cases where the lino captains appoint, a num ber of the men in the county were dis satisfied with the arrangement, and an nounced that they would join, but they were soon made to see the advisability of this arrangement. Everyone is urged to be out to the hunt, as the committee has planned a grand good time and wish a good many to join in it. There will be ample pro vision for bringing tho people back to town, as autos and wagons have been secured for that purpose. A free lunch will be served immediately after the roundup.

Trains No. 1 and 5, over the Union Pncific, on which an oxtra fare of ten dollars between Chicago and San Fran cisco is charged, is proving a winner. When tho tr?.ih was first put on by the Northwestern and the U. P., tho num ber of passengers was small, but the train is growing in popularity, so "much so in fact that it has been necessary to add two sleepers to the equipment. Ditto for Postmaster. Ira Ditto, the village blacksmith at Brady, spent the early part of the week in town securing endorsements from local democrats for the position of postmaster at Brady to succeed E. H Springer. It is said that Ditto's candi dacy was sprung without consulting Col. Beatty, and that Col. Bill is some what ruffled, in as much as Ditto is not the man the Colonel would choose as postmaster. It is probable that a stiff fight will result. Wants Pay for Scalps. The Lincoln correspondent of the Bee says: Many letters are pouring in on State Auditor Howard asking him to look wolf bounty claims, the latest being from C. E. Peterson, 3420 Leavenworth street, Omaha who claims ho killed a number of wolvosjin Lincoln county in 1010 and 1911, and filed his claims at North Platte, and wants to know wnero he can get the state bounty.

They have bten delivering from forty to sixty sacks of parcels post per day and did muchmore than that Wednesday and Thursday. An extra auto, besides the two that were put Jon tho first of week, was put on Thursday and the Christmas deliveries were mqdo up to 10:30 in the morning. Ralph Graham was the extra man for the one day. Tho handling of tho packages was greatly facilitated by the temporary parcels post cases that were erected for the Christmas rush. These caes are six feet long and six feet high with a depth of two feet. Each of the two cases is divided into twclvo apartments and in this manner the parcels were as sorted as they came in and thus put in shape for immediate delivery. Stjme of the parcels that were shipped in wore perishable and were put in "cold storage" to await delivery. Several dressed fowls were sent in. So far there have been no complaints of breakage or rough usage from the local office, either from packagos shipped out or received. Healey Returns Thanks. Six weeks ago some reprobate walked up on Tom Healey's front porch and rode off a wheel. Tom invoked the aid of Chief Frazier, and for a month the two kept avigilant watch on every wheel that looked like Tom's. They had about abandoned hope of recover ing tho wheel, when lo, and behold, when Tom returned from down town a few evenings ago he found the wheel on the porch. Whether the fellow was stricken with a guilty conscience or whether he was through using the wheel, is notknown, but Tom desires Tho Tribuno to extend his thanks for its return. Restaurant at Round House. C. C. Hupfer has leased ground near tho round house, a building 21x11 bo erected, and a, restaurant will opened.
