URGING HIS CLAIM
Mr.. Sargent Goes After the
Davidson Investment Go.
HAS RECEIVER APPOINTED
And viii Try to Compel
Stockholders to Pay in Full.

Thornton ". Sargent fled a petition in
the district court yesterday asking for
the appointment of a receiver for the de-
funct Davidson Investment company, and
the court at once appointed H. w. Stewart
as receiver for the company.
When Mr.. Stewart went to the Office of
Coler L. Sim, accompanied by the sheriff,
to take possession of the goods, records
and chattels Of the company Mr.. Sim is
said to have endeavored to lock the door
of his Office against them, but Mr. Stew
art was little too quick for him, and
burst the door open. There is said to
have been a little excitement over the
transfer Possession, but Mr.. Stewart
succeeded in getting the stuff and now
has it in his office.
Mr.. Sim said that the reason he re-
sisted was that he had been appointed by
the federal court, and he didn't want to be
in contempt by surrendering the books
Mr.. Sargent makes some sensational al
legations in his petition, one of which is
TO the effect that the books, records, cor
respondence and property of the defunct
company was in the possession of Coler
l.. Sim, who is using it for his own bene-
fit. and excludes the creditors from an
inspection of the records, stock book, etc,
or Of any use thereof. Within the last
sixty days, the petitioner says, Coler L.
Sim has caused, or permitted, the stock
Of books, minute books on which the rec
ord of the meetings of the stockholders
were kept, correspondence, etc, to be car
ried off and concealed, and unless pre-
vented by an order from the court the said
COler L. Sim would either cause, or per
NIT. to be carried off, all the records, cor
respondence, books, etc, belonging to the
company, and which the creditors have
a right to examine.
Mr.. Sargent, the plaintiff, states that he
is unable to make service Of summons on
the defendant in the state of Kansas:
that the Davidson Investment company
has never been legally dissolved, but all
the officers thereof have departed from
the state of Kansas. and that there are
not now any officers or agents in the
state. The petitioner further alleges that
these officers departed from the state in
order to avoid service OF summons upon
them.
Dudley A. Dorr, as trustee under the
will of the estate of George W. Codnroe,
deceased, got a judgment against the
Davidson Investment company in 1894
Execution was issued to the sheriff on
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1899-05-14

this Judgment, and on August q, 1894, the
execution was returned to the district
court not satisfied. as no goods and chat
tells could be found. In March, 1895. Mr.
Dorr assigned, and transferred this judg-
ment against the company to Mr.. Sargent,
the plaintiff. When the company quit
business in 1898, the plaintiff states, the
Indebtedness of the company was over
$500, CO., consisting of judgments, deben-
ture bonds guaranteed mortgages, prom
issory notes, etc. The nominal capital
stock of the company was $1,000 900, divtd-
ed into 10000 shares of 500 each; 3401
shares of which were issued to stockhold-
ers. The plaintiff believes this stock was
not paid in full. and he will endeavor.
through the receiver, to collect the unpaid
subscriptions on stocks. if any, together
with the additional liabilities of each and
every shareholder of the company.

Danger of Insurance Companies Refusing
to Write Policies in Belt.

to Write Policies in Belt.
Great Falls, March 2.-The question
of fire protection is likely to become a
serious matter for Belt. Those who
have insurance on their property are
naturally more or less Indifferent on
the subject and leave it to be worried
out by those who carry no insurance,
and perhaps cannot obtain any. Ac-
cording to report, however, it is pro-
bable that the insurance companies
may withdraw entirely from Belt and
should they take that action the town
would indeed be in a bad way, The
companies have from the start been
rather shy of the town. The long frame
ranges closely built up without any re-
gard for fire contingencies, with faulty
chimneys and flues, and more or less
invitations to conf1agration, have not
been very inviting to underwriters, par
ticularly when the fiat has not even
the semblance of fire protection and
hardly water supply. With the in
creasing prosperity of the camp it is
likely that some steps will be taken to
insure some form of protection from
flames. and the old agitation for incor-
poration may even be resumed.

A SPECIAL ELECTION.
People of Belt to Decide Whether schools
Shall Continue.

Great Falls, March 2.-On Saturday
the people of Belt will have an oppor-
tunity of expressing their desires as to
whether the schools shall close now or
be continued until the end of the school
year. There was a large deficit in the
school funds this year in the Belt dis
trict as there was in many another
school district in the county, and I'M
less the special levy is voted on Satur-
day the schools will have to close as the
district has already exhausted its gen
eral fund. The special levy on which
the people are asked to vote is six mills
or on an average an assessment OF
about 50 per head for the taxpayers OF
the community.

COUNTY coNvICTs ESCAPE.
A Trusty and Sick Man Take French
Leave of the Work House.

There were two escapes from the
work house Tuesday. About 2 o'clock
two white men took French leave and
have not been heard from since.
One of them was a man named Burton,
who forged check on the late DR..
Smedes. The other was a man named
Holderfield from this city.
Burton is an opium eater and man
of weak constitution. He had been
sick "a long time and was lying up in
quarters. He was guarded by an old man.
Holderiield was a trusty They went
away during the absence of the guard,
who had gone a short distance from
them. 1t is believed that Burton per-
suaded Holderfield to go with him, as
Holderfield has had many better oppor-
tunities to escape, but never took adj
vantage of them.
The escape of the men was discovered
about a quarter of an hour after they
left and an attempt was made to track
them, but they had gone into large
woods nearby and there they left no
trail.
Superintendent Allen sent to the peni-
Tertiary for bloodhounds, but there were
none here and so the chase was aban-
doned And this reminds me to say
that it would not be bad idea for the
county to keep three or four blood
hounds for this purpose. They are UNI
doubtedly useful in catching convicts
Immediately after they have escaped,
and they keep more from escaping
than they catch. Many counties with
much smaller chain gangs than Wake
have bloodhounds, and find them cheaper
than paying rewards for escaped con-
victs.
