RURAL CREDITS ASSETS SOLD
Stockholders in Loan Association
Probably Lose All

Emporia, March 21.-Approxi'
mately 100000 worth of assets Of
the Kansas Rural Credits association
were sold yesterday by R. NJ. Hamer
the receiver, who is winding up the
company's affairs, to the Central
Trust company of Topeka.
The assets sold yesterday consist
entirely of farm mortgages, due
thirty-five years from date, 1t was
asserted today on good authority
that most of the mortgages were
made during 1916.
The mortgages sold yesterday are
said to have been pledged as securi-
ty for loans by the Kansas Rural
Credits association, and that the
company's equity in the mortgages
amounts to $4,000 This amount,
it is asserted, will be more than
enough to cover the company's obli-
cations, but the stockholders will
receive little on their investment.
The number of stockholders is
Variously estimated at 1900 to L.
900. Many of the stockholders had
small amounts, $25, $50 and SIS
invested. The list of stockholders
submitted to r. NJ. Hamer, the re-
ceiyer, covers twenty typewriter
pages.
A considerable amount of stock
in this concern was sold in, Dickin-
son county.

DIDN'T ACCEPT PROPOSITION
Oil Company Feels That Local Peo-
pIe Should BE Given Chance

No acceptance of the proposition
to begin drilling for oil north OF
town. made by C. f. Menzie, of the
Carlton company, was given at
meeting of the directors Of the
Dickinson County Oil and Gas com
pany held last night.
Members of the company said inns
morning that they hoped to begin
work soon but they believe they
can get better proposition little
later. The present proposition of the
Carlton men would make the sale
of stock less important to the sue
cess of the company and the diree-
tors feel that they should give local
PEOPLE more time to become inter
ested.
