Of the total filed 345 constituted civil actions, many ot | which will never come to trial, as against 176 for the preceding year, One hundred and twenty-five crim- inal cases were filed as compared with only 49 for the year 1917, In this record is found one important re n for the division of the Sixth Judicial district. Receipts of the office, according to figures obtained from Clerk War- ren Bai aggregated $3,027.20 year, December fees and fines being fixed by estimate. Dur. ing the year preceding $1,615.2 found its way into the county cof- fers from the same source. March was the banner month of the year in which fees and fines collected dur- ing the 30-day period amounted to $1,116. No great variation occurs in the number of citizenship declarations for the past two years. During 1917 declarations filed totaled 67, and this record was increased to 73 in 1918 Twenty-three petitions for naturali- zation were filed this year as against seven in 1917. Thirteen were is- sued final certificates of naturaliza- tion this year and nine were issued the preceding year, Indications point to a substantial increase in citizen- ship declarations and the activities ‘of the naturdlization court during the coming year, due to the Americanza- tion program undertaken by the state and federal authorities in con- junction with the schools.

DURING THE PAST YEAR Hotel Number of Criminals of High and Low Degree but Av- erage is Low Starting the year 1918 with 22 boarders who had transgressed the laws of the state and with a total of 17 on hand at the present time, the records of the sheriff's of show that some 291 criminals criminal suspects of high and degree spent more or less time be- hind the bars of the county jail during the past year. Arrests reach- a high tide during the month of when 34 found lodging in Hotel d'’Natrona and again in August and October an average was struck of Offsetting this activity s the record for the month of No- mber, when cooler weather evi- dently a pall over illegal oper- ations only four were commit- ted to the inside to look out, No statistics are available with- out comparison with the court rec- ords as to how many were brot to justice and how many were dismis- sed for lack of convicting evidence and other reasons. A considerable number of so-called slackers are in- cluded but investigation of these cases led to nothing other than cre- ating a fear of the law in the eyes of those who might have experienced a desire to follow in their footsteps. Bad check operations and petty lar- ceny contributed a large number to the list and of the former only few convictions were secured due to the fact that local business interests have adered to a lenient policy where restitution of cash illegally obtained was forthcoming. or low ad FORTUNE TO SMILE ON CASPER ANOTHER YEAR SAYS REALTY DEALER “Cas best , in my opinion, will be the in the United States during D'Natrona Host to Large \the coming year,” is the way See Ben, gthe hustling realty man, views the ‘situation on the eve of the New Year. "“T believe the City of Casper will ex- ercise a greater growth the coming year than during the past; there will be greater development, more sub- stantial improvements, more stability to business, and we will see an influx of better material to make better citi- zens than We have ever had,” is the encouraging outlook voiced by See Ben. During the past year the See Ben Realty Co., notwithstanding that its volume of business has always been of the substantial kind, increased more than 25 per cent over former years. Collections have been excep- tionally good and there is mere of a tendancy on the part of the clientele of the firm to pay cash or pay in ad- i vance. See Ben has mapped out many new improvements and laid plans to han-| dle at least five times the business he has handled in former years, and particularly the insurance line will be pushed with more vigor than before.

Particularly appropriate to those especially who have made the sacrifices and endured the suffering—who have taken every means to help in the attainment of the triumph of those principles. Every means, great or small—whether it involved the sever- ance of endearing ties and the offering of life and fortune, or whether it meant duty well done, whatever that duty. 164 SOUTH CENTER WT TOOL MGS, DT.
