Die Of Injuries Received at Hands
OF Bold Thieves
LOCAL AUTHORITIES NOTIFIED

Chief of Police George Lane was
notified yesterday by Sheriff Kelley
Of Crookston to be on the watch for
three men who brutally beat and rob-
bed George Norberg near that city
Thursday night. The names of the
thugs are given as Peter McGrain,
Charles Smith and Moxie Wollman.
A later wire reported the capture of
Wollman who said that his pals were
headed toward Bemidji A complete
description was given Of the men and
it is believed that they will be ar
rested some time today.
The manner in which the crime
was committed and the brutality Of
the thugs has aroused the ire of the
newspapers and police officers about
the north section of the state and
every effort is. being made to locate
the men. Very little money was
found on Norberg but the men strip
ped him Of his clothing and brutally
beat him. The injured man is now
lying in the Bethesda hospital in
Crookston and is not expected to live.
He was found Thursday evening by.
Peter Graner who assisted the in
jured man to a physicians c1llice,
where his wounds were dressed and
where he related the story.
When the place of the crime was
visited yesterday morning the ground
was covered with blood where the
fight had taken place, and short dis
lance away were found two pairs of
overalls which the thugs had discard
ed when they put on Norbergs new
clothes.
Norberg told the authorities at
Crookston yesterday that he had a
brother near Bemidji who was resid-
ing on a homestead. It is probable
that the latter will be notified of his
brothers condition.

GRAINFIELDCROWS
Thriving Western Kansas Town
Has Long History.
j. B. BeaI and George s. Dryer
Were Founders.

Grainfield, Feb. 19.-One of the
most attractive sites for a town in
northwest Kansas is the ground on
which Grainfield is situated. 1t is
level as a floor, high and dry. The
pioneer we'll on the town site is lis
feet deep, and was drilled in 1879 by
J. B. Beal and Geo. Dryer, who date
their residence here since the spring
of 1879, at which time the town was
l. Gated. The name was first suggested
by sister of S. J. Gilmore, who was
a United states land commissioners, at
the time.
The pioneers, J. B. Bea1. and Geo.
5. Dryer, are living here They have
made money. They built the Occl-
dental hotel in April, 1879. When they
operated it it was the most famous
hosteIry west of Salina. 1t was always
crowded with guests, and the visitors
came for miles to eat and sleep under
it's roof Every politician who has
made northwest Kansas in his rounds
has visited the hotel
In later years W. j. Heiney and Col.
S. S. Reynolds came. The former
named the place Tree town because
there were so many trees growing on
it. For many years Col. Reynolds was
the manager of the Chicago Lumber
company. And he, too, has met with
success.
Today Grainfield has a merchant
who won't patronize the town paper
own ads with a lead pencil, and posts
them around town. There is another
citizen of the town who owns about
$3.50 acres of land, most of it on the
Saline river, who can't see any good
in this section, and he don't whisper
in your ear, but speaks out plainly.
The prospects for wheat are good
at this time, and with moisture soon
Cove county Will be IN IL with an
abundant harvest.
Grainfield supports a nice little
newspaper. the Cap Sheaf, although
the publisher said he carried bills
around town aggregating about s125,
and succeeded in getting cash enough
to pay for a bundle or two of paper.
The state bank, lumber, hardware,
drugs and implement stores are al
WAYS doing something, and her two
elevators are shipping out carload
of grain now and them The town also
has three general stores as we'll as a
furniture house.

Republican Middle-Of-the-

Would Hold Big Convention
and Unite Party on HadIey.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-Active steps
looking to the holding of an extraordi-
nary session of the Republican national
convention this year are being taken
by middle-of-the-roa6 progresyives. The
preliminary moves will eliminate IN Il
early in March.
The proposal is to get such an ex-
preston of the Republican sentiment
of the country as will induce the ma
t1onal committee to call a national
convention to meet in Kansas CITY, ST.
Louis or Chicago some time this year
ana agree upon platform and elect
a new committee.
Inc first suggestion was made by
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, several
months ago, and shortly afterward
number of Republican governors met
here and discussed the situation Fol-
lowing this informal conference Cover
nor Herbert S. Hadley said efforts
would be made to draw up a new de-
claration of principles.
When it became known here yester-
day that another meeting on a larger
scale would be held in Washington
soon, Senator CumminS strongly approv-
ed the idea. Senator Poindexter said
the progressive senators would not go
into it. Senator Joe Bristow discour-
aged the idea of such a meeting and
said 1t was doomed in advance to de-

Students of politics are of the firm
belief that Herbert S. Hadley is the
strongest man in the field for the presi-

ticket in 1916 should there be an
amalgamation of the two factions in
the party.
Senator Joe Bristow has it in for

posed an amendment to the army APP

ASK FOR NEW RECEIVER.
Creditors Further Complicate Case
Already Hard to Handle.

lola, Kan, Feb. 19.-The affairs of
the lola Portland Cement company,
which is now in the hands of re-
ceiver, F. r. Bissell, were further COM
plicated when the Equitable Trust
company of New York, which owns
1000 shares of the preferred stock of
the lola Portland, filed an action in
the district court asking for the ap-
polntment of another receiver, VINO
shall represent interests other than
the Bank of Commerce of st. Louis,
Mo-, and that the S2,50O,0O0 paid out
as dividend on common stock IN
1907, be restored to the treasury of
the lola Portland. 1t is alleged that
the directors of the cement company
are men named by the Bank of Com
merce of St Louis, which bank holds
the stock, majority of the bonds and
the mortgage which it is sought. to
foreclose. 1t is further alleged that
the ST. Louis bank advanced between
81, 600, 900 and 100000 to the Texas
Cement company of Dallas, whose
stock it controlled, and then got the
lola Portland to indorSe and guarantee
the obligations of the Texas company,
issuing to the ST. Louis bank bonds for
the Texas company in the sum OF
81, 600, 600. 1t is further alleged that
for one joint stock company to guar
antee the debt of another similar COM
pany is against the laws of West Vir-
ginia, in which state the lola Portland
was incorporated, without the consent
of the stockholders, and that the ac
ton referred to was never submitted
to vote of the stockholders of the
lola Portland. 1t is asked that the
court annul the bonds and mortgages
of the lola Portland ana the notes it
gave to secure the debts of the Texas
Portland, and that said bonds be de-
livered to the court or to the lola
Portland. If this is not granted, it is
asked that the foreclosure suit be held
up until plaintiff can bring action
against the St Louis bank to seek
restoration of the $2,250.000 disbursed
as dividends on the common stock,
which action is claimed as illegal, and
that a receiver be named to take over
the property of the lola Portland and
hold it clear of control of the st. Louis
bank.
