MAN WITH TWENTY YEARS EX
PERIENCE SELECTS NORFOLK.
' ' WILL BE ESTABLISHED RIGHT
't' There is Every Prospect That the
Long Felt Want Will be Soon Filled
Railroads Encourage Such an En
terprise Location is Superior.
Norfolk may very soon have a full
fledged wholesale grocery house.
A business man "who lias been in
the city for two or three days past
looking over Norfolk and surrouni
ing territory , has decided , if condl
tions which control such an estab
lishment can be arranged , to start a
wholesale grocery house here very
shortly.
The promoter of this enterprise lias
had twenty years experience in the
grocery business. He is well ac
quainted with this territory. He at
one time made his home in Norfolk
Backed by a score of years of suc
cessful work In this line of commerce
and associated with similarly expe
't'I rienced and successful men in the
same business , Norfolk has every as
surance that if this wholesale house
does start , it will be started right.
"I am in love with Norfolk's loca
tion , " said this gentleman to The
News today. "It strikes me tha
there is not a more happily situated
city , geographically speaking , within
the limits of this commonwealth. It
Is bound to make a distributing point
There is no getting around it With
all of this new northwest opened up
with new towns building out on tha' '
reservation every day I see tha
hundreds of wagon loads of lumber
are being rushed to the place every
day and with railroads giving five
separate outlets from Norfolk , I fal
to see where the Irony of fate or the
fatality of chance , linked together
I can possibly prevent the growth o :
a wholesale point here.
"Of course there are a few condl
tions which can make or break the
V enterprise. But with a western cetin
f - try to build up , it would seem thatal
interests would tend toward the mak
ing end of that deal rather than the
breaking. "
Union Pacific Encourages.
The Union Pacific railroad encou
rages the establishment of a whole
sale grocery house In Norfolk. In i
folder published by that company fo
May , 1904 , the business opportunities
in every town on its system are not
® L ed. The business opportunities not
ed by the Union Pacific for Norfolk
are "wholesale grocery house , oat
meal mill , brewery , live stock con
cern. "
Northwestern Encourages.
Northwestern railroad officials have
expressed encouragement for such an
enterprise. "I fall to see , " said General
oral Superintendent C. C. Hughes tc
The News recently , "why Norfolk
should not be a distributing point fo
the new northwest. "

WAGON LOADS OF LUMBER FAST
GOING TO NEW TOWNS.
CLAIMS UP TO 500 ARE GOOD

ert Utter , No. 106 , Filed on Rich
Quarter Five Had Dropped Out
Robert Utter returned to Norfolk
'rom Honesteel today. He drew claim
o. 100 and filed on a quarter section
of land a fourth mile from Gregory.
R. McFarland , city clerk of Nor

same place. The farm Is south of
regory.
The string of wagons to the new
towns , containing lumber , Is some
thing marvelous , says Mr. Utter.
All day and all night the wagon
oads are to be met on the roads. It
makes no difference what time of
night It happens to be , the new busi
ness man will get his lumber out.
The lumber yards in Bonesteel are
doing land office business.
Mr. Utter considers claims np to
oOO worth taking. He thinks quite a
proportion will drop out by that time.
His number -was 103 in the drawing ,
but live persons ahead of him had
dropped out , making his filing num
ber 101.
The land in Gregory township he
says is a rich. , black loam , with clay
subsoil. He is delighted. The gov

Gamblers and grafters are plying
their profession in the new towns
which are growing wonderfully fast
"Every other man you meet on the
street , " * > ays Mr. Utter , "says : 'I
wouldn't have one of there claims.
13ut the next day that man is still on
dock. He is trying to get the luckj

HEAVY BLOW BROKE A BIG , BAND
RING ON THE HAND.
DETAILS BROUGHT TO LIGHT
An Eye Witness to the Affair , a Man
Who Was With the Assailant ,
Gives to The News the First Def
inite Information of the Assault
Mr. Cagle Is a little better today.
Ollle Caglo , the young man from
Mcrco who was wounded on the
streets of Norfolk during the last
light of the tourney , was struck upon
he top of the head by the bare list
) f a member of the York running
earn. The blow was so heavy that a
hick , band ring which was woin on
mo linger , was broken to pieces when
he nhHalhuit struck Carlo's head.
I'he reason for striking the young
iinn was that the York runner mis-
ook Casio for a Stanton runner and
wan trying to get vengeance.
That Is thc > story of the assaulting
if the wounded man , as told to a rep
resentative of The News at Madison
ast night , the wltncsa refusing to
allow his namu to bo used ,
The description of the assailant
was also Riven. Ho was a modoiate-
y tall man , smooth shaven , with
closely squinted eyes and a bull-dog
ounteuancc.
The eye witness who gave the story
is It occurred to the newspaper man ,
says that the York team was "after"
Stanton men and that there was con
siderable bitter fooling. This eye
witness was himself with the York
team that night They had been
ilrlnking somewhat and when Caglo
came along Norfolk avenue to the
bank corner ho was "spotted" by the
crowd as one of the men whom York
wanted to "get. "
The man who struck Cngle was af
terward at the dance in Murquardt
hall.
hall.This
This Is the first definite Information
regarding the trouble , which has
been brought to light.
Miss Jessie Drobert of this city was
the only Norfolk person In the party ,
or who saw the trouble. She , together
gother with the party of five friends ,
was walking down Norfolk avenue
shortly after midnight , en route from
a ihinclng party in Marquardt hall tea
a restaurant for supper , junt before
Cagle and the other Pierce young pee
pie were to hthrt homo.
They were all well known young
people. They liad l > ccn in the crowd
for a little uliile ou the street and
when it grow lorigh , they had gone
to the dance in the Marquardt hnll.
Here , together with a large number
of Norfolk young foil ; , they wore en
joying a pleasant and quiet evening.
A number of lutllaus had attempt-
eil lo get into the dancing loom and
hud been excluded. Consequently
they wore angry at all of those per
sons who had anything to do with
the dance. At the cntnrnce of the
building one of them struck at John
Dlngman and was tossed.
Assailant Approaches.
"When Mr. Cagle and the other five
persons walked down Norfolk av
enue , quietly , shortly after midnight ,
the street was comparatively desert
ed. When they reached the Citizens
National bank building , just at the
entrance to the upstairs , the half doz
en , walking abreast along the side
walk , were suddenly halted by
stranger who arose from the dark
doorway and stepped immediately
and rudely in front of one of the
young ladles in the party. And
there he stood.
With becoming gallantry , -Mr. Cagle
spoke up.
"Please let the lady pass , " he said
At that the stranger's fist shot an
grlly out toward the young man from
Pierce.
The blow was warded off by a
friend of C gle.
The Crowd Scatters.
The crowd scattered , anxious of
course to get away from the scene
of the trouble. They all expected to
see the men come to blows. The nexi
instant Cagle lay sensejess along the
sidewalk. A companion of the first
assailant , It Is thought approached
Cagle from the rear when he saw
trouble coming , and slugged the
young Pierce farmer on the top of
the head. It Is thought that he used
either brass knuckles , a loaded cane
or some very heavy club.
The wound upon the top of Cagle's
head Is considered too high to have
been caused from a fall to the side
walk , although the walk at this place
Is cement
As quick as it happened the crowd
of unknown ruffians disappeared
down the street. There was no po
llceman In sight Friends of Cagle ,
not realizing that he had been partlc
ularly hurt In falling , attempted to
lift him to his feet. Then It was
found that his body was already cold
his eyes closed. Ho was dazed
stunned and unconscious from the
blow that had striick him.
Water failed to revive him. Ho
was carried Into Leonard's drug store
and even then the wound was noi
known to be so severe.
Chief of Police Kane , who had been
a few blocks down the street , ar
rived but the crowd knew nothing of
the man who had struck Caglo. They
could offer no description. The offl
cer says he asked a hundred people
on the street who had done the atrlk
Ing , but got no Information.
Cacle was later removed to the
rooming house at the corner of Fifth
street and Park avenue and Burgeons
culled , For thirty-nix hours ho lay
hero , aliHohitoly uncoiiBcloiiR. When
to did revive , he Buffered ludencrlli-
able niony. ; The pain was frightful.
) no don > of morphine after another
served to quiet the nerves of the
vounded man , hut even at that ho
could bo hoard to moan for some din-
unco from the house.
Meanwhile the ansallant , If ho WIIH
is Chief Kane thinks , it member of
ho York running team , had left the
city.
city.Mr.
Mr. Cagle , when he came to bin
Benson , regretted the accident more
or the looks of the thing than ruiy
hlng else. Ho was afraid that peo-
ile would think he had been roucli ,
ilmHolf , In getting thus hurt. HlH
otupanloiiH , however , tentlfy that he
VIIH qulotly walking along and more-
y defending a young woman.
One theory Is that these sluggers
ulstook Caglo for someone whom
hey had spotted to Injure. The YoiU
crowd had several grievances and It
s not at all Impossible- that they
bought Cagle was one of the victims
or whom they wore looking.
A Fine Young Fellow.
Ollle Cagle , a line young fellow , has
iftcn been In Norfolk. Ho Is about
wonty-tlvo years of ano , clean ,
irlght and strong. A nephew of Or.
Mden of Pierce , ho has managed the
loctor's farm near that placo. Hols
sturdy and muscular and stands high
11 the respect of the community from
which ho comes
Because ho Is a young man of
worth and character , the feeling of
loop rgret Is all the stronger In re
gard to his serious condition.
PIERCE PEOPLE REGRET.
They all Know Ollie Cagle and Uni
versally Sympathize.
F. H. Mansko has returned from a
luslnoss trip to Pierce. Ho says that
Pierce people universally regret the
sad accident which befell Olllo Cagle
on the streets hero during the last
night of the firemen's tournament
They all know the young man and he
Is very highly esteemed everywhere.
"Pierce people feel badly about the
accident , " said Mr. Manako. "They
think that the crowds could have
been prevented from getting so rough
If Ihe proper care had boon taken In
NOT folk. They all know that Olllo
Cnglo Is as line a boy as you could
find In a year's journey , that ho never
dilnks or anyililng of that sort , nntl
that ho never would seek any kind l
trouble. "
The reason for thinking that the
man who struck Caglo Is a memboi
of the York runnliiK team , Is bemuse
