sults. For Instance fow pcoplo would
believe that thoro were 981 residences

tiiat all of them but 35 were provided

people, too would believe that but 33
out of 1G5 business men havo provided
a safo and convenient place for tho
doposit of mall, and thus affording
nmplo opportunity to mako com-'
plaints for tho loss of a letter or other
mail.
Tho City Carrlors estimate that tho
houses supplied are about 70 per cent
of tho total homes in tho city, so
that with that amount added wo would
havo about 14Q0 homos. With 5 occu
pants to each homo wo would number
7,000 people.
Number of business houses served
by carrier 1G5.
Number of business houses supplied
with mall receptacles 24.

plied with mail receptacles 132.

plied 20 per cent.

where they convoyed McAtee and In-
man to the penitentiary. Tho Lincoln
county contingent nt tho penitentiary
is now larger than over before, in fact
It Is said that Lincoln county stands
next to Douglas In the" number sent up.
This is not becauso so many of our
pcoplo commit crimes, but rather non
residents come hero, do some unlaw
ful act and through tho efficiency of
our peaco officers they aro not allowed
to get away. The sheriff saw Roy
Roberts and says ho is looking thin,
evidence that his incarceration is be
ginning to toll on him.
