AMICABLE ADJUSTMENT REACHED Agreement Between the Allen Rlflei Armory Company and Company F Nebraska National Guards Over the Armory Building , Madison , Nob. , Juno 10. Special t ( The Nown : At the luminous mootltu of Company F , First regiment of No broHku National Oimrd , Ivan McKii ) WIIH uuuntmouHly elected llrst lleiiten ant In pltioo of Lieutenant 13d Esh wluwo commlHHlon has lately expired Lieut. McKny Is it son of Lntidlon McKay of the Madison IIOIIKO. Fran ! Dempster and Freil Frnzor were elected od HorgoantH and I'M , Spnitt and Juki Cleveland corporals. The status of the army property which has boon under cousldoratloi some time , was also adjusted. The armory was built In the early ' 90s ant1 most of the labor In Its erection wa > performed by members of the com puny , assisted by contributions fron cltlzetiH. Doth those who worked am ; those who contributed , did BO will : the understanding that the building should be forever a homo for compnn > F and should be used for that purpose only. The total of the contributions however , was not nufllclont to covei cost of material and the purchase price of the lots. The late .lames Stuart permitted the nrmoiy to be erected on his ground , promising tr donate It later , but gave no deed , HC that after his denth the title remained In the Stuart estate and had to bo pur chased. Notes for the cost of the inn1 torlal had tilso boon given , secured b > the property. So It was that when company F war reorganized some time after Its re turn from the Philippines a relatively large Indebtedness hung over ( bo nr mory. The notes and Interest beliiH then overdue , the creditors were clam- orlng for their money. Hut there was no money , as the company had been mustered out of I bo national guard into the volunteers and so construe' lively had not existed as a mllltlacom- pany during the years 1898 and 1899 , and of course received no rent money from the state for that time. To men tion that they brought no company fund homo with them from the ser vice is entirely needless. So among the first problems that confronted them was to provide a way to secure the creditors and avoid litigation. As the best way out of the dlfllculty anil as believed at the time , to keep the property from being foreclosed upon , a number of ex-members of the company organized a quasi private concern under the title of the Allen Rifles Armory company , procured a milt claim deed to the property from the trustees and assumed the nldeht- Dilnoss. Articles of incorporation were drawn up and filed and shares issued , and from then on company F paid this said Allen Rides Armory com pany $100 u year rent , which the lat ter concern applied in whole or part In paying oft the Indebtedness. This satisfied the creditors biit was not averly satisfactory to company F , but 3ii the contrary was a continual source 3f friction , for on examining the ar ticles of Incorporation of the Alien [ lilies Armory company it was found : o contain a proviso that members > vore prohibited from selling their shares to non-members but were per- nltted to sell them to each other. This carried to its logical conclusion iieans that one man in the Allen Rifles Vrmory company might buy up all he stock , become owner In fee sim ile and the original purpose of those vho labored and contributed to erect ho armory would be defeated. Furthermore company F not only jaid to this same armory company ! 100 per annum rent and made large Internal improvements on the building Init when the armory rent allowed by the state was raised from $100 to $250 per year , the Armory company Insist ed that company F turn over to them ihis entire sum for the annual rent. By way of explanation It were well iere to mention that several years af- ler the reorganization of company F , some of its officers as well as some privates were also members of the Allen Rifles Armory company , and as no man can serve two masters or two nterests , the result was Inaction and matters remained in status quo. Of ate , however , these have one by one Iropped out , the matter was discussed , a conference held between Capt. Fraz- er of company F and the officers of : ho Armory company , at which a treaty was made. According to this the Allen Rlflea Armory company agrees to pay Its own members out of Its treasury all they Individually paid In as far as it goes. Company F agrees to pay the deficiency and In addition assumes the ndebtedness still against the proper- y , which In all amounts to about flOO. It is further agreed between hem that the property bo deeded In trust to the city of Madison , com pany F to have Its use and control , paying rent to nobody. They will now be in shape to apply the rent money received from the state to the Improvement of the ar mory and make n thing of beauty instead - stead of the eye-sore which It has been externally for nearly a decade , which , with due regard for all concerned , Is not only as It should be but as It should have boon long since.

FOUND BY SEARCHING PARTY J. M. White , Seventy Years of Age , Wandered Away From Sick Bed of His Wife Fire Bell Notified Nellgh People Creek Was Dragged. Nellgh , Neb. , Juno 18. Special to The News : J. M. White , who has been a resident of Antelope county forever over twonty-Hlx years , wandered away from the homo of IIH ! HOII , A. W. White , who HVOH nine miles southwest of Nellgh , on Antelope creek , between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock Saturday morning and WIIH not found until yes terday morning about 11 o'clock by Mayor J. C. .leuklns and H. I ) , llaiisor of this city. Mr. White IH In his seventieth year ami bun been the constant attendant of his sick wife , who has been con- lined to her bed for a long time , and her deatli ban boon expected any day. The old people are making their homo with the BOII , and Kiuco the Illness ot the wife it appears that no ono but the husband could give the proper care and attention that she wished. It is believed that this constant care and worry has preyed on the old gentle man's mind that nt tlmcH he becomes demented. Ho told II. H. Hatisor Thursday that "they are going to kill mo. " And Friday ho had the Idea that his sona were going to kill him. On Saturday morning ho was seen walking west of the house In the pas ture the last seen of him until found. Ills son and family thinking ho could not bo far began a search around the farm , but not being able to locate him informed the neighbors and the search wan continued until nearly midnight Saturday even dragging several deep holes with a hay rake on the creek near by. Sheriff Miller was notified by this time to secure the Lincoln blood hounds , but this was thought to bo'of no avail , as the ground had been tracked by scores of people where Mr. White had been last seen. Sunday morning at 7 o'clock the tolling of the fire bell brought Noligh people out of their morning slumbers , and a search ing party of twenty-live or more men and boys headed by Mayor Jenkins left for the farm of A. W. White. The search was continued In all directions , some being five and six miles north and northwest. At nearly 11 o'clock Messrs. Jenkins and Hauser drove ono and one-fourth miles east of the A. M. White farm to the old homestead of J. M. White , and there the old gentle man was found lying alongside the grove. He apparently was uncon cerned as to his surroundings , and the first words uttered by him when brought to the buggy wore. "Is my wife dead yet ? " In the house Mr. White had a box whore ho kept quite a Hum of money , and before his departure took between $40 and $50 with him. This , however , was found on him when ho returned. There was rejoicing in the White home upon the return of father and grand father , as v/as also among the many who composed the searching party.
