DOLD WILL HAVE
LARGE ICE PLANT
Another 100000 for Build
ing and Machinery
CONTRACTS BEING LET
For One of Best Ice Plants in
World.

The Dold packing house in this city will
be enlarged. Another 100000 will be in
vested in a new building and machinery.
The Dold company have had the matter
under consideration for some time and
have finally concluded to enlarge their
Wichita plant by the erection of another
brick building and the purchase Of one
OF the best ice machines in the world.
Dolds capacity for killing hogs and cat
tie is all that can be desired. They have
the best and largest coolers in the west
and with additional ice machinery the
capacity OF the plant will be greatly en-
larged. The capacity of a packing house
is measured by the number of hogs and
cattle it can cool and take care Of and
no. by the number it can Kill.
Dold has been long enough In wichita
to find out all the advantages and diSad-
vantages of its location for packing
center and he has confidence in the fu-
ture. He thinks one of the best packing
houses in the west is demanded here.
The trade was closed and the contract
ready to be signed last night with the
Nilter Manufacturing company of Mil
waukee for & 350-tcn refrigerating ma
chine Some idea of its size will be in
ferred when it is stated that the ma
chine weighs 329 900 pounds. 1t is the du-
pick compressors, driven by cross COM
pound condensing Corliss engine with
ammonia compressors of the same capac-
ity, with two 4UJ horse power water tube
upright boilers.
The brick and stone building for the
new machinery will be located south of
the main building and east of the pres
ent ice plant. The ice plant now in use
will be kept for emergencies in case of an
accident to the machinery in the larger
plant. Speaking of the machinery last
night, George w. Mattison, agent for the
Vilter Manufacturing company. said:
I'VE have sold Dold one of the largest
and best refrigerating machines in the
world. We have placed three such ma
chimes in breweries and cold storage
plants in Pittsburg, Pa. Such large ma
chimes are only made TO order. This ma
chine which Dold has ordered will save
him IS day in fuel over any other
machine in the west Of the same capac-
fty. The machine will be 60 feet long and
20 feet wide, and when you remember
that it has a capacity of $50 tons of ice
per, day you can form some idea of its
effect when turned into Dolds big cool
ers. Dold already has great packing
plant. and it viii be still greater. He has
estimated that the improvements which
he has now undertaken will cost $4,000 to
100000. but in my opinion he will spend
$125,000 by the time ii is finished
Fred bold said yesterday that they had
had already spent a good deal of money
In buildings and machinery. but his COM
pany had found out that they could not
turn out products enough to supply the
demand for them. so they had made up
their minds to keep on building. He said
they were getting ready to do a big bust
ness.

MAY Be WITNESS
FRANK BAIRD MAY TESTIFY
AGAINST RICHARDS IN
TRIAL.
States Attorneys Claim Man Serving
Sentence for Completely in Hamilton
Robbery Will Tell of Deed.-To be
Heard in lndianola.

1t Is claimed by the states attorneys
that Frank Baird, who is serving an eigh-
teen years term in the penitentiary for
robbery of the Sullivan family at Hamil-
ton last winter, has turned states evidence
and will testify next Monday that w. A.
Richards, eS-deputy United States marshal
was implicated with him in the holdup,
which is said to have been the boldest
ever known in the state. 1t is claimed
that evidence will be introduced to show
that Richards was at the Baird home in
Creston the night before the robbery; they
have even gone so far as to Intimate that
they have a telegram in the officials hand
writing. directed to Baird, which will play
prominent part In the trial to be held
before Judge Gamble at Indianola.
The defendant is aware Of the proposed
line of attack, and is prepared with a
strong defense. 1t is understood Mrs. Sui
Ivan will testify that she recognized Rich
ards, who had been stopping with the
family, as one of the masked men who en-
tered their home and held burning lamp
at her bare feet till she told where the
81 900 they had received during the day
for sale of land was hidden In the house.
Baird, who was shot and crippled by Mr..
Sullivan as he was retreating, will testify,
1t is claimed, that Richards was in the
DEAL bnt that he was party outside of
the house. After the capture of Baird,
Richards appeared on the scene and took
him into custody. The uefense will claim
that the testimony of Baird is given to
revenge himself on the official 1t will
maintain that the testimony of both Baird
and Mrs. Sullivan cannot be accepted, as
one places him out of the house and the
other within. Two clues, they aver, can
not be established.
1t is admitted that the worst thing
against Richards is his disappearance for a
time after he was accused. But his yolun-
tary return and his conduct since that
time will be argued as sufficient to coun-
terbalance 1t.
A number of witnesses from Des Moines
will be In attendance to testify us to Rich.

that should the jury convict there will be
