lor. Tho boots delivered during tho
month of November will be paid for

SALISBURY 0KAS ANOTHER
BOOTLEGGER SATURDAY NIGHT.
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. This
method of obscuring tho check shows
how crafty are these ollve-huod In
dividuals. This waB Padllla'a second offense
and when arraigned before Judge
. Woodhurst yesterday forenoon, he was
' sentenced to ninety days In Jail, in
his first offense ho was fined $100.
' but olected to lay out the fine In Jail .
He had been out of Jail but a week
when tho Mexican beet tenders raised
a purse and sent him to Cheyenne to
buy the booze.

' 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. Tho Tribune
congratulates Chairman Welngnnd,
his numerous committeemen, and tho
people of tho county upon the
splendid results of tho United War
Work Campaign,
Sniiuii Girls AVI11 Given '
