FIGURES BY COUNTIES

Lincoln, Feb. l7.-(Special.) y
There are about four times as many
automobiles in Nebraska in 1916 then
there was in 1918, according to list
prepared by Secretary Of State Pool.
The number in 1918 was 25,6l7; in
1914, 40,929; in 1915, 59,l40, and in
1916, it was l00,s34. The increase
this year will be considerably over
the mark
The list as prepared by counties is
Interesting in that it shows the de-
velopment in each county of the au-
tomobile industry. There appears to
be lack of increase in Mcpherson
county up to last year, but that is
explained by the fact that Arthur and
Mcpherson counties were under the
name OF the latter in 1918 The newer
counties appear to have increased
much more than the older counties,
for instance, Kimball county jumped
from eleven automobiles in 1918 to
ia in 1916, while Lancaster increased
only from 1871 in 1918 to 6,007 in
1916. Douglas county increased from
1,Sl5 in 1918 to 8,5ol. The list does
not include motorcycle numbers, and

Grand Island. Neb., Feb. H.-(Spe-

young Mexican, whose home was in
Central City, was found dead at an
early hour this morning near the

the heart, about the head and cut on
the left shoulder. 1t was clear, too,
that he had been dragged for some

This trail led to the finding of his
hat near some cars west of the spot

where there were some signs of a
scuffle. The officers have so far as
announced no definite clue, but are
making thorough investigation.
