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.

De Luxe Train a Winner.
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.
Mr. Howard has informed him that
the wolf bounty law was repealed in
1909, and thereforj there is nothing
coming from the state.
John Joecheland N. S. Purbaugh, of
the Wallace vicinity were business
visitors to the county seat Wednesday.
W. E. Baker, who was called here
by the death of his brother J. E. Ba
ker, has returned to his home in Hol
brook, Neb.

Big Rush at
the Postottice
The Christmas rush at the postoffice
has been enormous but the local force
has handled it all in very good shape
and have been able to deliver the pack
nearly as fast as they arrive. 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. This will prove a great
will
be
con-
venience for train and engine crews, as
well as for round house employes, es
pecially as the restaurant will he open
both day and night. The fact that the
business i3 to bo conducted by Mr.
Hupfer is assurance that it will be first
class in every particular. It is hoped
to open the restaurant in n month or
so.
