Pay Kidnapers
$50,000 for the
Life of Husband
Mrs. Earl Yocnm of Galva, Illinois.
Yields to Demand to Save Hus
band From Death
Galva. 111., Oct. 28. Pleading with
authorities not to interfere and thus
endanger the life of her husband,
lira. Earl Yocum Tuesday sent $50,
000 ransom for the release of her
millionaire banker-husband who was
kidnaped from his home Saturday
night.
"What is $50,000 compared
to my husband's life?'' Mrs.
Yocum said as she implored
Ht-nry county authorities and
investigators for the Illinois
Bankers association to halt
their search for the kidnaping
gang, generally believed to be
from Chicago.
"Yocurn is worth more than
12.000,000 and he will not miss
the $50,000," said a friend of
the family. Yocum has vast
land holdings in Iowa. Illinois
and Indiana.
Making all the arrangements her
self. Mrs. Yocum indicated negotia
tions with her husband's abductors
were virtually completed.
Two communications written in
Yocum's handwriting have been re
ceived by his wife. Although she re
fused to give out their contents even
to authorities it was understood they
bore directions as to bow the casn
ransom was to be paid to the kid
napers. A rush trip to Chicago made by
A. E. Anderson, cashier of the Yocum
State bank, headed by the misr.ing
man. was interpreted as a move to
obtain the necessary $50,000 in cash.
Anderson was in Cliicago for only
two hours. Returning here he went
directly to the Yocum hnme.
Officers of the Illinois Bankers as
sociation declared they would act to
bring about the gang's capture as
soon as the banker is released.
The same gang, authorities be
lieve, is responsible for the kidnap
ing of Jimmy Sheridan, Des Moines
cigar store owner, at Galesburg. 111.,
and two Peoria gamblers. Bee

To the Voters
of Casr County,
Neoraslta
Eaving received the nomination as County Commissioner in the
Second Cor.-T-issioner District, for which I respectfully thank you
for the confidence placed in me and I premise if elected to serve
you to the best of my ability and agTee to give to each locality their
jnst share cf the money expended. I will not rob any precinct for
the benefit of another.
I wish to call ycur attention to the fact that over five hundred
bridges ard mary, many culverts have been built since I have been
on the board. And the County builds no wooden bridges any more
all steel or concrete except floors.
The Ccunty now has mere than seventy miles of county grav
eled reads built and provided for and several miles more under
construction cn the fifty-fifty basis. The County pays one-half and
the precinct or community pays one-half of the cost. Every town
and village in the ccunty can get cut on a graveled road now, ex
cept two, and they will be provided for soon. The State also has
70 miles of graveled i"cads in the county and about twelve miles
of paving, makir.g ever 150 miles of surfaced roads in our county
at this lime. Theie arc nine county patrols in the county at pres
ent. This has been made posrible by the aid of the precincts or
donations to meet the county's one-half and by the gasoline tax
and precinct read funds, without raising the county levy a single
penny. Our county funds are in a healthy condition. And we are
trying tc practice this kind cf economy all along the line. Invar
iably we ask fcr and demand $100.00 worth of service for each
$100.00 of tax money spent.
The County is building a steel bridge for about the price it
v.as costing to erect a wocden bridge when I went on the board.
I give the major part cf the credit fcr this achievement to Fred
Gcrder. but it tock on the part cf all the county board m?ribers
some back-bene to back it up and put it across. And that cne
thing Las stopped the largest leak in the funds of Cass county.
Under the system now in force, if a man plays on the job. he
plays on his own time.
I am still in favor cf 1hree main roads east and west across
Cass county the 0 street road, the Murray-Murdock road and the
Plattsmouth-Lcuisville-Greenwood road Then cut the county five
times north and south Union tc Plattsmouth; Nehawka to Cedar
Creek. Weeping Water to Louisville: frcm 0 street to Elmwood,
Murdock and north, and 0 street tc- Alvo and on north to connect
with the paved D. L. D. Then get roads from farm to market
acrcss precincts ir between as fast as possible to build and pay for
same without any bond issue.
With abcut eleven hundred miles cf road in the County, they
have practically all be;n biaded. I believe in pay-as-you-go" system
and no bond issue to build reads. I believe in Churches. Schools
and an Educational County Fair.
I promise you a business-like administration and the best ser
vice in me. Also to give you an economical administration as far
as my ability gees with fairness to all parts of the county.
If this kind of service suits you. your support is solicited. I
have attended every beard meeting held since I was elected as
your servant on the county board.
I will keep the county out of debt, if yen elect me as your
county servant! Will you give me your support? I can not see
all of your personally, so take this means of giving you my message.
Very respectfully yours
