Full Circulation Now Out
The Tribune bad an unusual and un
common experience this week in being
called upon to cut nud trim 85000000
worth of national bank currency for the
new Citizens National Bank of our city
The 50000 worth of bonds purchased
by the Citizens National came into their
possession at the very unusually low
premium of 900 for the entire purch
ase
The bonds have been promptly and
entirely merged into currency circula
tion by the bank with its usual liberal
policy of not doing things by halves
The Citizens National Bank of Mc
Cook is the latest of the state banks to
nationalize but she comes under the
wire like a thorough bred full fledged
and full of speed and endurance

Held to Next Term of District Court
Minnie Brown aud Grace LeRoy two
keepers of houses of ill repute in this
city had a preliminary hearing Tues
day afternoon before County Judge
Moore charged with keeping and sell
ing intoxicating liquors unlawfully
Sufficient evidence was presented to
warrant the judge to hold the women to
appear before the next term of district
court placing the bond of each at 1
000 which were both provided and the
women released In one resort twelve
pints of beer were seized and in the
other over sixty quarts of beer The
judge ruled that the beer in the poss
ession of the sheriff be destroyed but
the defendants filed exceptions to this
order hence the liquors will not be
disposed of until after the district court
passes upon the cases Being the se
cond offense the defendants will likely
obtain a severer sentence in case of con
viction
The evidence in the cases was secured
through detectives from the Nebraska
Detective Association of Lincoln work
ing under the authority of the Anti
Saloon and Civic Purity League of this
city
