Evidence Is Found
Of Attempt to Burn
Farmers S Wheat Crop

Kearney, Neb,, Aug. 2O.-(Spe-
cial. )-Unmistakable evidence of the
working of an incendiary, whose
purpose was to burn the wheat crop
on the w. H. Grassmeyer farm, near
Riverdale, and destroy the threshing
outfit working there, was discovered
by Sheriff Funk. Boxes of matches
were hidden in the bundles of grain
which were to be threshed and
matches were widely scattered over
various parts of the field. Pieces of
steel, old bars, etc, were also hidden
in the grain bundles, evidently with
the deliberate intention of crippling
the threshing machinery.
A fire broke out on the Grass
meyer place Saturday afternoon.
Sunday another fire was discovered
and the sheriff was called to investi-
gate.
Every bundle passing through the
machine is now opened and thor
oughly examined. The sheriff feels
assured that it is not plot of I. w.
w. staged against farmers in gen
eral, but that the destruction was
planned by some personal enemy of
Mr.. Grassmeyer. w. H. Grass
meyer was the Rivetdale farmer who
gave the principal evidence which
resulted in the interning of the Ger
man pastor, Kraudelis.

Publication of story that Mr..
Carnegie had given away all of his
estate with the exception of about
$50,000,00O brought the statement
that the estate was much larger.

approximately 4,500 words. drawn by
Mr.. Carnegie himself. and which was
generally believed to be his last will
had been superseded by briefer
document of 1000 words drawn by
Elihu Root.
The decision of Mr. Carnegie to
revoke the original will, which be-
queathed a large part of his estate
to his daughter, Margaret, was said
to have resulted from her marriage
to Ensign Roswell Miller, several
months ago. Mr. Carnegie settled a

time of her wedding.
