State’s Attorney Hoyne de- clared he had damaging evidence against the “higher-ups,” and many sensational arrests are expected. Chief Healy was arraigned on a charge of conspiracy and corruption. State’s Attorney -Hoyne requested ten da continuance, which was granted, over the protest of Chief Healy’s attorneys. Later the bond was reduced to 25,000. It is conceded by both Democratic members of Congress and high ad- ministration officials that the admin- istration’s revenue measures have failed, and the nation may yet see the Democratic party resort to the old- fashioned Republican protective tariff in order to save the treasury from complete bankruptcy.

Pestinient Facts About the'Casper Daily Tribune’s Circulation By CAPT. ROBERT A. BARTLETT | ——— ss ——F The city circulation of The Casper Daily Tribune has had such an astounding and gratifying growth since it was put on a paid basis, on November, 13, that the publisher of The Tribune has had to wire repeatedly for increased shipments of news print paper from its paper houses, Yesterday The Tribune printed, by actual count, 545 copies of The Daily Tribune, a statement which may be verified by our foreman, pressman and editor, as well as the carriers. Following is a tabulated statement representing the exact con- sumption of Monday’s issue: CARRIERS Harry Moll, business section -_ ~~. .-- aD Bde oa William Hagens, South Center, Wolcott and Durbin_-_- 55 Ed.

Wea ++ ene Lp cee ane 545 There are something more than a thousand homes in Casper at the present time, so the above figures show that The Tribune goes into every other home now; when we reach the 750 mark, it means our daily will go into three-fourths of the homes each evening. The number following the names of the carriers and the city mail list represents the bona fide, paid subscribers of The Daily Tribune, and the attention of advertisers is particularly invited. An average of from 10 to 12 new subscribers are being added to the list daily, and by March 1 The Tribune has not the slightest hesitancy in believing that it will have a bona fide subscription list of 750, all within the city of' Casper. Our circulation books and records are open to all advertisers, who are invited to come in and see exactly what they are getting for their money. The Tribune believes that no paper should faisify its circulation statements, and believes that advertisers are entitled to know just how many copies of the paper are circu- lated, and where they are circulated. The advertiser will note that practically the entire circulation of The Tribune is in Casper, and the paper goes directly into the homes, which makes it all the more valuable as an advertising medium. - a | VILLAISTAS SHOOT UP FROM GARFIELD HOME| TRAIN; SEVERAL KILLED By the United Press | By the United Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 9—j} EL PASO, Texas, Jan. 9.—A band James R.
