CARTER FACTORY COMPLETED
Automobile Shop at Hyattsville to
Be Put in Operation.
Company Proposes TO Enlarge the
Plant by Immediate Erection
of Two Buildings.

The Carter Motor Car Corporations fac
tory AT Hyattsville. Nd, will soon be en-
gagged in the construction of the 1909
model cars. This factory. embracing u 600
square feet Of floor space. is constructed
Of brick. steel and concrete. The ma
chinery is Of the latest type, including
lathes. drilling machines. &c. The motive
power is furnished by gasoline engines.
and the electricity is obtained by means
OF a generator for running electric drills
and lighting Of the factory.
Basing its estimate upon the present de-
mand for automobiles. the Carter COM
pany Is Of the opinion that this factory
will be rushed TO supply the demand for
cars in this city and the immediate vi
cinity. Accordingly, foundations have
been laid for two additional factory build
ings, which will give the plant total
floor space Of 1000 square feet. This in
crease. the company states will enable
II to supply the demand for cars IN the
East and South for the time being.
Recently published descriptions and in
dorsements Of the Carter twin-engine car
have brought many requests for agencies.

The Kaw Valley potato crop is one Of
the chief sources Of revenue to the farm

Nothing uncertain about the work
of Doan's Kidney Pills in Leon. There

testimony of citizens. Such evidence
should convince the most skeptical
sufferer. Read the following statement:
Mrs. Mary Kinds, living in the south
east part of Leon, Ia, says: "Since
first recommended Doan's Kidney Pills
through the Leon papers some five
years ago, have continued to advise
my friends and acquaintance to use
them, and know Of several cases in
which they have brought prompt relief
and lasting cures. My previous testimon-
ial was based on personal experience.

way Doan's Kidney Pills were brought
to my notice and l procured a box at

BIG WoODMAN CLAIM FILED.
$35O.0OO Claim Against Croker
Estate. Woodmdn Bond Made
public For First Time.

Head banker G. A. McNider, of Mason
City, of the Modern WoodmaD, through
Cliggitt, kule, Keller & Smith, of that
city, as his attorneys, filed this week a
claim of $350,000 against the F. R.
Crocker estate, Guilford Crocker, adj
ministrator, on the ground of the alleg-
ed deposit that the Woodman head bank
er had in the defunct First National
Bank of this city. The claim notice
states that the head banker designates
the repositories where the Woodman
funds are kept, and that he designated
the First National Bank of Charlton as
one of the repositories. of the Woodmen.
He deposited 100000 in the bank here
as follows:
On August 1, 1905, 100000.
On September 6, 1906, $4,000.
On February 1, 1907, $4,000.
On March 26, 1907, $4,000.
On September 81 1906, $4,000 was
transferred to the National Bank of
Mason City, leaving S350,000 in the
bank here. The interest was kept paid
on this to the first of October, 1907,
when the bank failed.
| Head Banker McNider attaches to his
claim copy of the famous Woodman
bond, which is acknowledged here to be
a forgery, and which is the security he
had against the loss Of the money in the
bank. 1t is for 100000, and is signed
by the following persons, as the Herald
published some months ago:
F. R. Croker, A. L. Mallory, j. M.
Thayer, G. J. Stewart, E. S. Baker, g.
W. Larimer, Jno. V. Bennett, L. Rex
Bennett, George Bennett, ]. S. Miller.
This bond was sent by MIR. Croker on
July %, 1905, and it is now practically
proved that every name on it except his
own was forged by him. Mr.. McNider
j! accepted the bond, and the board of
Woodmen directors accepted it, and
each has one of the original copies. All
Of the men signing it have declared that
they never signed such bond, but some
of them signed smaller one, and
were afterward released from it and
their names erased by Croker in their
presence. This smaller bond with the
names erased was left by MIR. Croker,
together with other proof that the
100000 bond was forged, and is now in
. possession of one of the men named on
. the bond.
Head Banker McNider asks the Crock
of S350,0O0, and he also asks the Bank
receiver to do the same thing. OF
! course he will get very little from the
Croker estate, as there is very little
to be distributed, and there are nearly
S1,250,000 of claims against the estate
including the 100000 claim filed a
couple of weeks ago by Receiver Jami-
son, for the money taken by Mr.. Crock
er for his speculations.
1t is our belief that the Woodman
bond is no good, and that the claim
against the Bank should be thrown out
1t was matter between MIR. McNidei
and Mr.. Croker, and if any one is te
lose the money, it should be MIR. Nc.
