NO ONE SEEMS ANXIOUS FOR CAPTURE State Treasurer Gllbertson Would Like to Get His Bank Back, but Creditors’ Seem Likely to Be Pald in Chief of Police Albro received word late Friday night from the authorities of Weep- ing Water, NeW, that if W. H. Crenshaw, the former Council Bluffs grocer and Na- poleon of finance who secured a bank on nothing except nerve, wids wanted they could lay their hands on him at any mo- ment. They were particularly anxious to learn if there was any reward offered for is the home of Cren- shaw’s mother and sister, and it is sup- posed here that there is where he is. There is no reward offered here for his arrest, neither is he wanted here on any criminal charge, His oreditors have brought bank- ruptcy proceedings against him and his stock of groceries is mow In their charge. If Crenshaw's mother and sister will re- lease, as it is expeoted they will, their claim against the stook, the creditors will realize every cent of their claims and there will probably be $2,000 left over. State Treasurer Gilbertson and C. J. ‘Thompson, who let Crenshaw assume con- trol of the bank at Crystal Lake, Ia., with- out his paying anything for it, are the p sons who might be desirous of securing his arrest, and they were notified yesterday that the authorities of Weeping Water had him located. The Omaha NatidBal bank, which cashed a $5,000 certificate of deposit on the Crystal Lake bank for Crenshaw, was also notified. Gilbertson and Thomp- son have assured Judge McPherson that they will protect the holders of the certifi- cates of deposit which Crenshaw obtained if the bank is turned back to them. The hearing on the petition of intervention filed by Gliberteon and Thompson in the Cren- shaw bankruptcy proceedings is set for hearing on the first day of the term of fed- eral court. N. Y.

It was also reported yesterday that Col- onel C. G. Saunders, local attorney for the the | Great Western, had been instructed not to make any further opposition to the provis- fons in the vacation ordinance requiring the rallroad to maintain electric arc lights at the Tenth avenue and Woodbury avenue crossings, but to try to secure by all means to eliminate from the measure the provis- fons regarding the storage tracks.

DES MOINES, March 8.—(Special.)—The contest In Polk county for control of the congressional delegation yesterday was so close that despite the fact that Congres man Hull has a clear majority of the dele- gations from the precincts, the Prouty peo- ple threaten to make a contest in the county convention and to carry it to the congressional convention, with a view of causing a division in the party. Ia a num- ber of the precincts, particularly in Des Molnes, the vote was very close and one or the other of the candidates secured the delegation by a mere handful of votes It is admitted that desperate means were resorted to by both sides for control of the precincts. There is no doubt that a great many democrats were voted in many of the precincts. But in view of the fact that Hull's friends controlled the county,com- mittee and named the judges of election, fixed the time of closing the polls and pre- scribed the rules, judge Prouty claims there was fraud in a few of the precincts sufficlent to make the change in the re- sult as shown on the face of the returns, Thd Hull people have no fear of the threatened bolt in the convention and say that it will be impossible now for Prouty to get the other counties of the district outside of Polk county. They belleve Hull will be nominated by acclamation. The total vote at the republican primary was nearly 13,000, and the latest returns show that Hull had 6,845 and Prouty 6,925, but of the delegates Hull has 133 to 108 for Prouty. day received the following telégram: WASHINGTON, D.
