NO SOLUTION YET
 IN CHICAGO CASE
Police Still Questioning Franks
 Boys Teachers

Chicago May 26.--The states at
 torney, his assistants and the police
 worked all night on clues as to the
 possible kidnapper and murderer of
 If year old Robert Franks. son of
 Jacob Franks, retired millionaire and
 pawnbroker and manufacturer. but early today appeared no nearer so-
 lution of the mystery than when the lads nude body was found last Thurs day.
 The body of the lad was laid. to rest yesterday afternoon. attended by classmates at the private school he was leaving when last seen alive last Wednesday.
 Early today three men riding in an automobile answering the description of a machine said to have loitered near the private school attended by young Franks several days before he disappeared, were seized al Summit. Ill.,, about twenty miles from here apd brought to Chicago for questioning.
 There was some effort to connect the disappearance of Gertrude Parker, IT, with the kidnapping of young Franks. The girl has been missing since Wednesday when she left an academy near the school attended by by the murdered lad, Her usual course homeward would have taken her past the corner at which the boy last was seen.
 Miss Parker's relatives fear that she might have been a witness of the Franks kidnapping and therefore taken along by the kidnappers. For that reason efforts to find the kidnap- pers were increased.

"Well," Daddy continued, "a horse

The horse was used to automobiles

suddenly a trolley car came around
the corner making "A great deal of noise.

of the shops in the neighborhood.
LAS the horse started to run away
the dog, with a bound, jumped upon

jumped back Of the seat so he could
pull still harder and he able TO hold

And the dog brought the horse TO a

some people saw it and wrote to'the

dog hero who had thought so quickly
of the right thing TO do at the right

To Start Suit. Against Rail-
road for So, 100 for Cattle
Killed by Train.
PART OF PRIZE HERD
Sixteen Cattle>Killed on Octo-
Der 13, 1928, Were Part of
County Prize Herd.

Efforts to compromise with the Of
ficials of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroad over the loss of 10
head Of prize cattle owned by Kenosha
County, have proved unavailing as far
as the county is concerned. District
Attorney Morris Barnett has just re-
ceived the reply of the railroad COM
pany TO the overtures\ made by he
county some time ago in an effort to
come to some amieable settlement.
The sixteen cattle were part of Ke-
nosha County's prize herd of fifty
six head The accident in which they
were killed occurred near Ranney,
Wisconsin, last October. The st. Paul
train, according to the railroad Office
ials, was one of the heaviest passenger
trains run on the road = the "Olym"
pian", through train from Seattle,
Washington; composed of twelve heavy
sleeping cars, and running at the time
of the accident at the rate of fifty
to sixty miles an hour.
The speeding train crashed head-on
into the herd about a thousand feet be-
yond curve, which according to the
District Attorney, necessitated the
Stacking up of the train. The Kenosha
official also found that there were no
distractions at the time which would
hinder the engineer in charge from
plainly seeing the number of cattle
on the tracks for distance of nearly
a mile ahead. With due diligence"
Mr. Barnett declared, eve feel that the
accident could have been avoided"
Considerable correspondence and
conferences have gone on between the
principals involved in the case, but
with the latest reply from George F.
Baker, general adjuster for the rail-
road, it was seen that the company
would contest the case and refuse
compromise.
The answer to the complaint made
bv Baker declares that it was mani
testify impossible for the engineer to
stop his train within the distance OF
one thousand feet after the cattle
came into his line of vision, and that
"the engineer, with thirtyfive years
Of experience behind him, fully real
lied the danger which would be in
Cured, not only to himself but to the
numerous passengers on his train, by
striking such serious obstacle as this
large bunch Of cattle, and he without
question did everything in his power
to avoid the collision"
"The county will Immediately COM
mencs suit against the railroad" said
Attorney Barnett his morning, "and
we wili-clain damages for the full
amount Of the value of the lost cattle.
L.
sum at $21e0."
The case when it comes up for hear
ing will be tried in Kenosha, accord
ing to Mr.. Barnett. Service will be
secured on the company's agent at
Truesdell and thus jurisdiction will re-
main in Kenosha county.
