County Attorney Shields has liutltuted
criminal uctiun ngalnst ollkcro of tbe drain
Growers' Mutual Hall association. The de
fendants) against whom information was
tiled in police; court at 3 o'clock Thursday
nfUTiioon aro: C. M. Harris, president; ,
I' W. Miller, ex-president; ('. C. White,
treasurer, and F. II. llllllker, secretary.';
Th.flo were olIlceiH prior to tho appointment
o.' a receiver a few days ago.
Larceny and embezzlement nre tho specific
nl eg.it Ions preferred by the county attorney.
Ho ha for several weeks been working to
sreuru evidence upon which to baae crimi
nal i nmplalnts.
Them will probably be somo dlfllculty In
loiutliiK the defendants. Harris Is the only
n who has recently been In Omaha, and
it la said that he left the city several days '
ngo. An olfort was mude to servo papers
tiion him Wednesday In connection with the
application llled In district court for the JIo-
chaige of tho receiver, and It was stated at j
In boarding house that ho. was not In the ,
i ii v. It Is believed by the authorities that j
the entire official directory of the hall as
him latum Is in Minneotn, but at whut place
1j not known.
Miller has not been president of the ron
c.n for several months. He resigned and
was succoedod by HarrlH, who had prior to
Miller's resignation been vlco presldcut.
InveMtlf ittlon HculllM.
Tho Investigation by tho county attorney
began soon aftor a receiver waH appointed,
for i hero was then ample opportunity for
Investigation of tho books of tho company.
The Information Is drawn up at great length
find in addition to tho llrst, In which the
larceny and embezzlement of $l,00 Is
charged against Harris, llllllker and White,
tu'piiraic information is also tiled against tho
ollh-ert as Individuals and their alleged pec
ulations aro I luted In sums ranging all the
way from $700 to $2,500. The double charge
of larceny and embezzlement Is carried all
ilm ay through. Tho grand total of nil
the alleged pilfering aggregates somewher"
near 10.000, In which It Is alleged that all
wore about equally concerned.
The (train (Jrowcrs' Mutual Hall nssocl t
tlon has had h tempestuous existence from
the time of Its organization. It purported
to he a co-operative concern whereby crops
would bo Insured. Many of the most rcspon
Hible farmers la tho state became Interested.
Tho promoters of the scheme aro not
farmers, but they claimed to havo long
been Identified with the agricultural classes,
nml for a time they won tho cotilldence of
Nebraska soil tillers. Hut rucnors of u dis
couraging nature began to II oat about and
investigation convinced somo of tho stock
holders that something was wrong. Tho
promoters ci'.mo to Nebraska from Minne
sota, whero It Is said they operated the
batno scheme, but not so extensively as to
Ket Into tho criminal courts.
KITort In Iteoruiinl.e.
It is generally agreed that tho Insurance
plan la u good ono If properly condii"'. d,
and Minio of tho moro prominent farmers
who bate been Induced to Interest tbem
solvett have undertaken to lift the Institu
tion out of the hnnd.s of u receiver and
conduct It themselves. This, of collide,
means complete, reorganization. Tco appli
cation for tho discharge of the receiver has
Juh been filed and the courts havo not yet
passed upon It. The basis of the applica
tion Is tho allegation that tho appointment
of a receiver was Instigated by the nccuml
oCcora of tho concern and tn tho detriment
of tho Innocent member.
Tl-o Grain Crow em' Mutual Hall associa
tion was conducted in a most energetic mnn
Jier. no matter what clue may be said of It,
for Its business extended to every part of
tho ntnte. Thousands of dollars of pollclcH
were written and losNrn occurred from tlmo
to time, hut tho policy holders found It dlf
llcult to make collection. It Is alleged. Num
erous HUlts by lley holders nro now pend
ing in the district courts, tho Idea being to
force payment of louses. It Is raid that the
Investigation mndo thus far Indicates that
tho greater part of tho money taken was dis
bursed In salaries to the various ofllcers or
appropriated by them outright. At least
that Is tho lino along which tho prosecution
1MII make Its light.

I'oriiu-rlr of Oniiiliii.
Chlof of Police Donahue received a letter
yesterday from tho city marshal of Greeley,
Colo., reporting tho liudlug of a dead man
In n freight car at thnt place a few days
ngo. It Is believed that tho man formerly
lived In Omaha. Tho chief will tel on foot
an Investigation nnd endeavor to establish
his Identity. Hero is tho letter:
"OHEELEY, Colo., Feb. 15. Chief of Po
lice, Omahn Dear Sir: On Februury 8 wo
found a man dead In a freight car, nnd ns
near ns wo can find out tho man had been
In tho car somo ten or fourteen dayu. On
his person were found some letters, giv
ing tho namo of James llanlyn, Sioux Falls,
S. I). He nlso had cards of tho Oxford
hotel, Omaha, and on these cards In several
places appear the names of J. D. Nold,
IJenlrlco Ilartlett and Chnrlcts Tracy, nil In
different handwriting. It looks as If tho
man had been writing tho names In con
templation of forgttry. I tnko It-that tho
above named partleM nro Omaha business
men.
"Tho dead man's clothes were nil new;
his overcoat was folded up and placed
under his head. Ho was found In tho Ice
box of a refrigerator car (no Ice), I have
had "photogrnpho taken of him, which will
bo ready In n. few days, and will send you
ono If you wish. Tho description is ns fol
lows: "Ago ubotit 33; height, six feet; weight,
165 pounds; dark complexion, black hair,
large, black moustache, black suit of clothes,
black melton overcoat, made by United
Garment Workers of America, No. -4,904,542,
union made.
"Should you know anything nhout this
man let mo know. Itespectfttlly,
"D. F. CAMP, City Marshal."
It Is believed tho body Is that of a man
known In Omahn as "Jack Evans." A man
giving this namo arrived in tho city about
tho middle of January nnd registered nt
tho .Metropolitan hotel. Ho said he was n
hotel clerk, and had contracted to go to
Colorado to work for the Markel hotel sys
tem. He answers the description received
from Greeley.
About two weeks ago ho left Omaha for
tho west, leaving his valise at the hotel.
Two days later tho Metropolitan clerk re
ceived n letter from him, written nt Lara
mie, Wyo., giving Instructions as to tho
disposition of tho valise, nnd this, co fai
ns known, was tho last heard of hlra alive.

O. Morltz Zepp of Westminster, Mary

Cough Remedy In my family for the past
thrco years, nnd with marked success es
pecially with croup, It giving relief In from
ten to fifteen minutes. I believe It to be the
bct cough medlclno on tho market." After
thrco years' trial Mr. Zcpp Is well qualified
to speak on the morlls of this remedy. It in
perfectly rcllablo and always gives quick
relief.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15. Surrogato Fitz
gerald today handed down a decision denying
tho application or Henry U. Anderson for a
court order declaring tho trust fund of
$5,000,000 created by tho will of tho Into
William H. Vanderbilt' exempt from In
horltanco tax. Tho surrogato directs that
tbe tax bo assessed against the fund.
Under tho will of William II. Vanderbilt
a trust fund of $5,000,000 was created for
the benefit of his grandchildren, tho chil
dren of his son, Cornelius 'Vanderbilt
Cornelius Vundorbllt held tho fund In trust
wljh discretionary power to distribute It
nmong his children. Tho counsel for (in
Vnndorbllt heirs contended that tho grand
children of William H. Vanderbilt hnd a
vested right In tho fund from the moment
that William H. Vanderbllt's will -vas pro
bated. As tho will of William H. Vander
bilt was admitted to probato before tho In
heritance tnx law went Into force. It was
contended that the fund was not subject to
tax.
Tho surrogate's decision In effect holds
that the children took tltlo In tho fund
only after its distribution under tho will
nt Cornelius Vanderbilt, und that thcreforo
It Is subject under tho Inheritance tax.
