CRADLES GREAT SCHEMES.
Continued from First Page.

CRADLES Indebtedness to the bank was
$201 SOC. 1t seems that Mr. Quinlan
had not reported the latest transac-
tions to President Williams and the
directors at last Thursdays meeting.
The directors made no complaint on
this head, knowing Mr.. Cradle, but
sent message inviting him to wait
upon them. Mr.. Cradle called there
and the result of the conference was
that Mr.. Cradle gave the directors a
demand note for s2O1,5O0 The dircc-
tors then agreed not to press him, but
to afford him a margin of time in
which to pay the note
Judge f. Manner, of Kearney, Neb.,
who is said to be Mr.. CRADLES counsel,
said that Cradle began his business
life as bank clerk in Kearney and
then branched 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 he
could have easily paid off his present
Indebtedness to the Chemical National
Bank. CRADLES western companies,
Judge Hamer said, were all in a plEA
porous condition.
Judge Hamer said he supposed Ora
ble's property, if realized on, would
bring $1,000,O00 over and above Mr..
CRADLES total Indebtedness.
Omaha, Neb., February 3.-Both
Francis Cradle and W. K Kurtz are
we'll known in Omaha. Kurtz is a
nephew of Bishop Hurst, of the Meth
odist church, and intimately connected
with Bishop John P. Newman. Both
kurtz and Cradle were especially
prominent at the Methodist conference
in 1892. Immediately after the con-
ference the three excursions to Edge
mont and Black Hills property were
taken out under theiS direction. and as
a result of their operations a large
number of men foremost in the Meth
odist church were induced to become
investors in Dundee Place lots and
Edgemont stock.
Mr.. CRADLES Black Hills excursions
are familiar in Omaha. CRADLES
church and railroad connections en-
abled him to travel in the most ap-
proved fashion. 1t was always by
special train that his parties were
taken.
One of the last excursions was last
spring, when Col. Fred. Grant was
sent to Edgemont and the Black Hills
to look over the property with a view
to investment.
Attachments were issued to-day
against the property of Cradle. Ire
house and stable, with their furnish
ings and equipments, are listed at
100000. Marcus ]. Parrottee, of Oma-
ha, CRADLES resident agent, sues for
$6,500; Francis G. Hamer, of Kear-
ney, an attorney, sues for $4,700; and
George H. Scripps sues for $4,000 on
a note. The mail brought deeds from
New York transferring some of Gra-
ble's local property to ]. H. c. Walker,
of Scott City, Kansas.

Washington, February "a brief
cablegram from Ambassador White, at
Berlin, last evening conveyed the only
official information of the decree of
the exclusion of American fruit from
Prussia. This cablegram was so
meagre that request has been sent
to Mr.. White for further details.
Some shipments of American apples
from California are affected with San
Jose scale, but just how German APP
pies are endangered is not made
plain.
The facts established by the adj
vices were that the decree uses the
word American" which would seem
to include Canadian fruit, and that
the decree includes all dried fruits OF
America.
State Department officials objection
to the course pursued is three fold.
First. it is entirely without precedent
and discourteous towards the Ameri-
can ambassador to put the decree into
effect without warning to him. Sec
ond, by making the decree immediate
and stopping all fruit in transit, ship

makes no provision for the admission
