"Tho Stato of Nebraska vs. Ono Ford
Autoniobllo" Is tho title of a caso
which will como up for hearing In tho
county court In a day or two. 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. " ,
Just at present It looks as though
the Sutherland man will hold the sack.
