able that tho Jury cases would not be
concluded .boforo Christmas,
Tho first case to como boforo the
Jury was that of Charley Tumor, col
ored, charged with tho lllogal salo of
liquor. Carl Shlck testified that
Turner sold him a pint of whisky, Tho
defense did not dony that Tumor hnd
given Shlck tho whisky but Insisted
that It was In return for Shlck hav
ing pulled Turner's car out of a hole.
The Jury found him guJlty as charged.
Tho Judge lias not yet pronounced

Tho most Important caso is tho re
trial of Roy Roberts, charged with the
murder of Vornon Connet. In tho
first trial Roberts was found guilty
and tho death sentence pronounced. An
appeal to tho supremo court was taken
on error and a ire-trial ordered. It Is
probable that his caso will bo the last
to bo tried, and may not como up until
after tho Christmas adjournment.

To Prospective Building & Loan Borrowers;
Non-resident Building & Loan Companies ' arc adver
tising the fact that they havo reduced the monthly payments
of horrowers to SI. 10 per month on each $100.00 horrowed,
making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build
'ing & Lodn Association of North Platte. They fail to state
that of the $1.10 paid to the non-resident company, there is
only thirty-five-ccnts credited as a principal payment, the
halance seventy-five cents heing taken for interest. Of the
$1.10 monthly payment to this association on each $100.00
borrowed sixty cents is for interest and fifty cents is credited
as a principal payment. ,
This difference in the amount credited the borrower
will result in the borrower in the non-resident company be
ing compelled to pay not less than $25.00 more on each
$100.00 borrowed in order to discharge the debt than they
would if they were doing the business with this Association.
