The charco acalnst tho Ford automobile Is "that It illegally and feloniously trans-! ported Intoxicating liquor." ftathor a' peculiar caso at first sight, but not so when tho facts aro known. This Is tho car formorly operated by Ralph Starkoy whon ho was engaged In a rather notorious conveyance of liquor from Choyenno to North Platto and other Nebraska towns. But Ralph and . tho car camo to grlot at Brady on the' first day of July when Ralph finding that he was about to bo cornered, de sorted tho car, took to tho brush that lined tho river and made his escape In the dawn of tho early morning. Tho car was confiscated by Sheriff Sails bury and has since been in his pos session. In tho meantime a resident of Sutherland, who claims to hold a mortgage on tho car has made at tempts to securo Its release from tho sheriff but without success. Tho caso will como up In court and the Sutherland man will have to show cause why tho car should not be con fiscated by tho stato and under the law bo sold, by reason of having been used as an unlawful conveyance, and tho money accruing from the sale bo turned into tho strong box of tho county.
