BERT WHITE ROBBED
Man Showed a Gun in His
Face
NEAR THE COURT HOUSE
About $50 Was Taken From
Him.

Bert White was held up about $50
O'Clock last night by two men opposite
the court house, and was robbed Of $50
all the money he had with him at the
time. The men did their work quickly
and acted as though they were expert
enced in the business. They made White
stand still while they made their escape
Mr.. White hunted up Officer Simpson and
the affair was reported to the police
headquarters. Detectives were put on
the case and are hunting the men.
The men stepped out from beside one
OF the small buildings opposite the court
house while Mr.. White was passing. One
grabbed him by the arms and the other
showed d large revolver in his face. The
man who was holding Mr.. White then
went through his pockets Systematically
and got all the money he had The
whole thing took but minute and the
men quickly disappeared.
It was quite dark and Mr.. White was
unable to get a good look at the men and
as q result was unable TO give an accur-
ate description of the men who held
him up.
This is the first hold-up which has oc-
Cured in this city in several months.
There has been but little crookedness
going on owing to the policy Of the police
department in running all suspicious
characters out Of the city. Several
months ago there were several small
holdups, but since then none have oc-
CURED. The police are hopeful Of cap
turing the men, although they have but
little to work upon.
Mr.. White lives in Missouri and Is here
visiting friends. He has been staying on
the West Side. He IS a cousin Of c. V.
Ferguson, the well known attorney. lie
is a young man Of about %.

Cards were received yesterday an
nouncing the marriage Of A L. Frederick
ofthis city to Mrs. Mildred A. Coffin Of
Carthage, No, on December q. They
viii probably reside at Carthage.

esteemed young lady Of Carthage, and
the friends of Mr.. Frederick wish him
all the happiness possible. He is well
known in this city. being a travelling man
for the Dold Packing company. He is in
charge of southeastern Kansas and
southwestern Missouri, with headquarters
at Carthage
A good story is told on him at the Dold
plant. A little over a week ago Chief
Clerk Harrison received a letter from
Frederick telling him that It was abso-
lutely essential that he be off during the
holidays. Mr.. Harrison thought the re-
quest urgent and granted it. Yesterday
he received the card announcing Freder-
ick's wedding.

DOLD PACKING PLANT
In Wichita Will be Increased
Materially
IF CONDITIONS FAVOR
Jacob DOId Talks of the Local
Situation.
CONDITIONS FAVOR

Jacob Dold, the big packer Of Buffalo
y Y, is in the city visiting his SON
Mr.. Fred DoId, manager Of the Wichita
house Mr.. Dold IS on trip looking over
the general western interests Of the Dcld
Packing company. He IS a close observer
Of the big business enterprises Of the
world and keen in seeing the direct sig
nifcance Of every move in the packing
industry Asked as to what he thought
Of the future of the packing business in
Wichita. Mr.. Dold said:
ct depends largely on freight rates
and the price Of coal The rates now are
such that the pressure IS on the Wichita
business. Other packing concerns can
buy against the market here with profit.
I notice that hogs are selling on the mar
ket here at Kansas City prices a great
deal Of the time, and very close 10 the
Kansas City market most Of the time.
Sow if rates are constructed to favor a
double haul there can hardly be a de-
served profit on packing here and ship
ping out the manufactured product. We
are doing quite a large business here,
but the profit IS very small. It's too
close figuring under present conditions
10 build up a business here that would
compare with that Of packing centers.
Fuel IS too high. That's an item Of con-
siderable expense in our business"
Il was suggested that Wichita's pro-
posed new railroad to South McAlester.
where connection IS TO be made with the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas, would
cheaper fuel and possibly be Of very ma
teriaI benefit in shaping rates to Wich-
itas advantage.
Mr.. Dold added that cheap fuel would
be an important matter to the city.
Mr.. Dold. are you considering the
matter Of extendisg the Wichita plant?'
Y have not decided on any changes"
II Wichita business men can succeed
In securing cheaper fuel and get some
concessions in rates as is planned now,
would you increase the plant here?"
We push our business where it pays.
II we could make good money on a
larger plant, We should not hesitate to
Increase our capacity. Wen keep pace
with the opportunity"
MI bold said that the packing business
everywhere now IS close figuring, closer
than in most lines OF business. and closer
In its own lines than ever. He couldn't
see that the war in South Africa would
stimulate the packing business very
much, though he said that of course the
demand is slightly increased. He SAYS
that the Kansas City house that was de-
stroyed BY fire some time ago would soon
be in operation again.
There Is some consolation for those who
have looked for an expansion Of the Dold
house here in Mr.. DOld's remarks on the
matter. though he admitted nothing Of
the sort.
Wichita people have come 70 look with
pride on the big DoId institution here
and the fame Of their Wichita product
has come back from nearly every state
IN the Union south and west, and Wich-
tia people too confidently expect the time
when the world famous legend IF It's
Dolds, its the best" Will mean every
where that it IS made in Wichita. AS
often at least as in other big packing
towns.
