The following from the Trego County
Reporter proves that the fame of ou1
efficient city officials has reached dis
5ant counties: Whenever the officials
Of Ellis county get the information
which will convict a bootlegger, he is
taken up and gets his term in Jail OF
puts up a cash bond and sometimes
jumps it. In this county it seems that
whenever the officials get the evidence
the victim is clipped" off in some way
and hides out so the warrant cannot be
served"
