as Creamery Trust, After
Only Competitor
HANFoRD COMPANY MAY SELL
Big Sioux City Produce Company
Wanted by Concern Which Controls
Large Part of the Dairy Output in
the West-other News of the
State.
Special to Times Republican.

ESOeclQI TO neS-ReDODl1C2N,
Sioux City, June 16-The Hanford
Produce company, a 100000 corpora
ton, and largest creamery company in
Iowa, may become IL part of the Beat
rice Creamery company, a S3000,000
corporation, commonly known thru
out the west, because of its size, as
the creamery trust"
Every effort has been made by the
Beatrice Creamery company to secure
control of the big creamery company
in Sioux City, but according to Presi-
dent A. S. Hanford the control of the
concern Is still in the hands Of Sioux
City people, but later may be abso-
lutely controlled by the Beatrice
Creamery company The latter has
eighteen great plants in the west and
southwest, practically controlling
dayiry products in the west.
For u considerable period the Han
ford Produce company and the Beat
rice Creamery company have had joint
interests, even to the extent of buying
together and using the same trade
mark on certain brands of butter and
other products.
Recently George E. Haskell, presl-
dent of the Beatrice Creamery COM
pany, increased his personal holdings
in the Hanford Produce company to
100000, which is two-fifths of the en-
tire capital of the corporation.
BY many this is considered suffici-
emit evidence that the big 100000
corporation controls the Sioux City
plant, though Mr.. Hanford, president
of the Sioux City company, contends
that 100000 of common stock and the
100000 of preferred stock. held by
the Farmers Loan and Trust company
is sufficient to keep the creamery
trust from gaining absolute control
of his company.
George E. Haskell, president Of the
Beatrice Creamery Company, is the
vice president of the Hapford Produce
Company, and the Beatrice Creamery
Company also has two representatives
on the board Of directors Of the Sioux
City company.

Monday night as the 1O:45 Rock Is
land passenger was coming down the
Tschirgi hill just west of town they
ran into drove Of horses that had es-
capped from NJ. Pattee's pasture thru an
open gate. There were ten head in all
and out of this number three were
killed outright and fourth one had
one of it's legs so badly broken it had to
be shot. Some of the horses killed
were badly mangled, and one had it's
head entirely cut off. The one with it's
head cut off was dragged under the COW
catcher for quite a distance before the
train was stopped, and in order to get
1t out of the way they had to back up
and pull it off the track. The train
then started to come into town and
just before reaching the bridge the en-
gineer discovered that two more of the
horses had become so frightened that
they had attempted to cross the bridge
ahead Of the train, and in doing SO had
poked their legs thru between the ties
and were unable to move one way or
the other. The train was again stop
ped and the crew and passengers, with
the aid of straps from a harness, which
young man on the train happened to
have, succeeded in dragging the
animals from the bridge.
