CRADLES OMAHA RECORD
Attachments Got Out on His Property
in That City.

Omaha, Feb. 3.-Both Francis Cradle
and W. K. Kurtz are we'll known in
Omaha. although neither of them have re-
sided here for some years. Kurtz came
to Omaha as a private secretary of W.
II. Craig in 1887 and later became resident
agent for Dundee Place, which was laid
out by the Craigs. Kurtz IS said to be
nephew of Bishop Hurst of the Methodist
church. and intimately connected with
Bishop John P. Newman. Both Kurtz and
Cradle were especially prominent in the
reception and entertainment of the dele
gates TO the Methodist general conference
held in this city in 1892. Immediately after
the conference the first of the three ex-
cursions to the Edgemont and Black Hills
property was taken out under their di-
rection, and as a result of their opera
tions large number of the men foremost
in the Methodist church were induced TO
become investors in Dundee Place lots
and Edgemont stock.
Mr.. CRADLES Black Hills excursions are
familiar to the people Of Omaha, this city
being one Of the stopping points on every
itinerary. Cradles church and railroad
connections enabled him to travel in the
most approved fashion. It was always by
special train that his parties were taken
across the country. and always included
someone of special prominence. They al
ways lunched at the Omaha club. where
Cradle always seemed 70 have free entire.
and after the luncheon laudatory speeches
were in order by the visitors.
One OF the last expeditions under Gra-
ble's patronage that attracted special
note occurred only last spring, when Colo
mel Fred Grant and his son were sent 10
Edgemont and the Black Hills for the
purpose of looking over the property with
a view to investment. Whether Colonel
Grant was among the holders OF the stock
of the mining companies is not known
here.
Mr.. CRADLES Omaha Office was in the
Omaha National Bank building and his
residence was on Half Howard.
Suits were started this morning and at
tachrnents issued against the property Of
Francis c. Grabie. The house and stable.
with their furnishings and equipment. are
listed at $4,000. Marcus l. Parrotte OF

with banks in various parts Of the coun-
try TO trace the course of certified checks
given by Cashier Quinlan TO Messrs. Sill
yer and Cradle, and TO ascertain whether
financial institutions elsewhere had ad-
vanced money on drafts such as were ac-
cepted as security at the Chemical Ma
tional The directors OF the bank were
in session all day today, discussing means
of recovering as much as may be possi-
BILE OF the money loaned by Mr.. Quinlan
President Williams of the Chemical
National bank, when shown the dispatch
from st. Louis containing ar interview
with Cradle, in which The latter said that
Mr.. Williams had been stocBholder in
one Of his companies for several years,
said:
at is wrong for this man TO try 20 mix
me up In his schemes. It is true that /
have been connected with one OF is com
panies. but it was a trifiiug matter. not
more than two or three thousand dollars"
He also admitted the truth of a state
ment that on Thursday last the Chemical
National bank had accepted a demand
note OF 1901, so from Cradle. agreeing at
the same time not tod press Cradle for
the money.
William Fl. Kurtz, who is said to have
been associated with Cradle in many OF
his deals, said today:
Mr. CRADLES dealings with the Chem
zeal National bank have extended over
considerable period AS 1 understand
from him. he was well known TO all the
banks officials. To my knowledge he
owend the bank s170 600 at one time and
Hquidated the debt until only $4,000 was
left Thus he has gone on contracting
obligations and discharging them. At
the beginning OF last week the total
amount Of Cradles Indebtedness TO the
bank was 1901 500"
Judge F. NJ. Hamer Of Kearney. Neb..
who is said to be Mr.. Cradles counsel.
said tat Cradle began Is business life as
a bank clerk in Kearney and then bra nched
out as a money lender and real estate
dealer in Lincoln, where he prospered-
Judge Hamer said that Cradle had never
failed IN any Of his enterprises. He said
that If Cradle had not been pressed be
could have easily paid OF his present in
debtedness 10 the Chemical National bank.
CRADLES western companies. Judge Hamer
said. were all in a prosperous condition
Judge Hamer said he supposed Cradles
property. II realized on. would bring

Judge Hamer was shown dispatch
from Omaha, stating that. among others,
he was suing the property Of Cradle for

One Of the directors OF the company
made the following statement. which was
approved by President Pattlson:
MIR. Cradle" he said acted only as

September he has had no connection with
il whatever. Shortly before that the

then all % the stock has been purchased.
and the company can in no way be In

He came to this city highly endorsed
and strongly recommended by bankers.

No one invested in his schemes bllndy.
All OF the investors who became interest

there is no reason for a change % mind.
He did not exaggerate the advantages.
and We are therefore surprised over the
stories which have been Tubushd copcsrn-
ing him. Before the Edgemont and Union
Hiu Smelling company was organized. We
had experts visit the locality and they re-
ported in its favor.
1T is the general opinion here thar Nr.
CRADLES troubles have been caused by the
fact that he has oyer-eStended his capital
IN the many enterprises In which he was
interested. Last October our efice was
moved from New York 70 this city. We
are now building smeiters. and as soon

IRRIGATION.
The amendment to the agricultural bill
offered by Mr.. Warren providing for q
division of irrigation and reclamation OF
arid lands, for the investigation Of the
methods of constructing irrigation canals
and of storing and distributing water in
the reclamation of arid lands, the whole
to cost 81, 800. was discussed briefly by its
author, and by Mr.. Stuart of Nevada. II
was maintained that the adoption of this
amendment would be Of enormous value
to the western country.
Mr.. Bate of Tennessee was Of the opin-
ion that the present proposition was sim
ply the first step in a mammoth scheme
to reclaim the arid lands OF the country,
It was beautiful idea, he said but the
finances of the country were not at pres
ent in such condition to enter upon the
proposed scheme. In addition, he main
tanned the proposition was wrong because
it looked to the performance Of work by
the federal government that ought TO be
done by state or individual enterprise.
Mr.. Gear of Iowa called attention to the
fact that 50 per cent of the arid land was
government land.
Mr.. Bate contended. however that the
time was not opportune to enter upon
the scheme proposed.
Mr.. Carter of Montana took issue with
some of the statements of the senator
from Tennessee (Bate.) He pointed out
that there was not plot of $50 acres OF
government land in the western country
upon which settlement had not been made
except arid lands. He depicted. the re-
suits of irrigation in various parts of the
world and maintained that the govern
ment must either cede to the states the
arid lands or take up some proper and
adequate plan for the irrigation of these
lands He maintained that II was the
business of the government to care for
the interests of the people TO the extent
at least which he outlined.
Mr. Cullom proposed as a substitute for
Mr. Warren's amendment the following
For the purpose of collecting from ag-
ricultural colleges, agricultural expert
ment stations and other sources, includ-
ing practical agents and engineers, prac-
tical information and data on the subject
of irrigation and publishing the same in
bulletin FORM 800 Co.,"
The amendment was adopted, and the
bill. carrying s., 527,2O2, was passed.
The senate then, at SIS p. m, went in
to executive session.
At 5:2S p. m, the senate adjourned.
