Sheriff Salisbury picked up another Mexican bootlegger Saturday night in the person of Jose Padllla and con fiscated a trunk belonging to Pndilla that contained thirty-six pint bottlos or booze. This bootlegger was arrest ed as ho stopped off train No. 4 and he had boet tipped off by Trainmaster Sholvor, on the train enroute home from Cheyenne, who wired abend to Sheriff Salisbury. The Mexican wns searched at the depot for the trunk check but it could not be found, with out wUich the sheriff had no evidence that tho trunk had been shipped by Medella. The Mexican, however, was taken to Jail for a further search, and this resulted in finding the trunk check sowed tfn the Inside lining of the raincoat which Padllla wore.

Sfi 5fi Hi Mfi LR Hi i$rn:i wah wohk dkivk ' i !OKS OVKIt T11K TOP. With twenty outsldo school districts yet to report and with only partial re turn from tho Third and Fourth wards of North Platte, tho total sub scriptions to thoUrnitod War Work nt noon yesterday totaled $2S,4GS.I0, or less than $1,500 under tho augment ed quota for tho county. If tho twenty districts yet to report only nvoniKo $100 each, tho total will exceed tho $30,000 apportioned to Lincoln county, nnd this will be fur ther increasod by the full returns from North Platte. In addition it is probnblo that tho Victory Hoys and Girls will have from $300 to $500. As hns beotyhe case in every drive North Platte has gone smilingly over tho top, the total subscriptions within the city exceeding $12,000, about $3,000 of this enmo from U. P. employees. In view of tho fnct that flu condi tions prohibiting meetings In pnrts of the county, that thoro woro no spoakers or brass bands employed ns in previous drives, in fnct no special offort made to arouso enthusiasm, tho result of tho campaign is extremely satisfactory to Chairman Welngnnd and his committee. While we say" no effort wns mado to nrouso enthuslnsin wo do not mean to infer that Chair man Welngnnd nnd his committees were not busy; far from it. They started in ton days ahead of tho cam paign and organized every .school dis trict In the county over 130 of thorn by appointing a chnlrunn of a solicit ing commilteo with vhom they kept in touph almost dally for over two woeks. They sent a circular lotter to cvory head of a family In tho county, and they wrote hundreds of personal letters to men scattered all over the county. , It was not a brass band campaign it was more a "still hunt", and It won out handsomely.
