STRYKER AND NELSON HELD
Unable to Satisfy Court in Alfalfa
Mill Deal.
York. Neb., Oct. 1. In tho ca,d of
tho state of Nebraska against George
Stryker, formorly of York, now a resi
dent of North Platte, an alfalfa mill
promoter, and Samuol C. Nelson, for
merly of Grand Island, a resident of
Kansas City, engaged in tho promo
tion and building of alfalfa mills,
charged by the York Alfalfa Meal and
Milling company with embezzlement
of several thousand dollars, was tried
before tho county court. Eight months
ago George Stryker came to York,
calling on old acquaintances, and rep
resenting to them that ho had the
backing or n strong financial institu
tion then with headquarters at Oma
ha, and later at Kansas City, who
were financing and building alfalfa
mills at different points in Kansas
and Nebraska. York was one of the
good points for nn alfalfa mill, and It
was not much trouble to interest farm
ers and business men, who subscribed
for stock, paying cash, which they
claim has disappeared and nothing to
show for it. The evidence given In
the trial was that something like $7,
000 worth of stock of tho York Alfalfa
Meal and Milling company was dis
posed of, and that at the present time
there Is about $700 In tho treasury
and no alfalfa mill at York.
