FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
A rew ard of $50 will be paid by
the Leader Publishing Co. to any
person or persons who will submit
evidence, which will bring about
th e arrest and conviction of any
violator of the local option law in
the city of Cottage Grove, either
by conducting a blind pig, boot­
legging or by violating the local
option law in any other way.
