Some days ago Messrs. Hall and Clover made a survey of the country east of Lazette and between Grouse and Cana. They found that the two valleys could be joined by a road bed with but little labor. Instead of running over, a railroad could easily run through the Flint Hills. Nature thus seems to have made provision for our commercial needs.

On Saturday, the 15th inst., in a shady grove in the Grouse Creek valley, about four miles above Lazette, the Armstrong Union Sunday School with other neighboring schools had a grand time. Interspersing all these exercises we had fine music, Miss Rosa Herr at the organ and a selection of the best musical talent of the country. Mr. Hall, marshal of the day, acquitted himself nobly. Messrs. Peebler and Smith, superintendents, gave all a fine reception.

[CREAMERY.]

Winfield Courier, August 10, 1882.

The stockholders met Tuesday evening, adopted articles of incorporation, and elected seven directors for the first year as follows: J. C. McMullen, M. L. Read, J. E. Platter, M. W. Babb, J. L. Horning, J. P. Baden, G. L. Holt. The Board of Directors are appointed a committee to act with Messrs. Holt and Hall in the selection of a site. Frank Barclay, A. H. Doane, and J. L. Horning were appointed a committee to superintend the erection of the creamery and accept or reject it when completed.

Winfield Courier, October 5, 1882.

The town of Winfield is not an accident, but the legitimate result of successful grain and stock growing, and is rapidly becoming a center for manufacturing interests that will add much to its astonishing prosperity. The latest movement in this direction are the establishment of one of a chain of costly creameries, and the erection of a factory for the manufacture of glucose on a very extensive scale. Messrs. Holt & Hall, of Osceola, Iowa, who are largely interested in creameries in that state, have contracted for the erection of an extended system of creameries in Kansas—one each at Winfield, Wellington, Howard, and Newton—a majority of the capital for each one being furnished by citizens of the locality in interest. It is believed that the creamery at Winfield will have a capacity to require the cream from the milk of 3,000 cows, and to make 2,000 pounds of butter daily. This butter is to be delivered at the principal markets of the country in refrigerator cars in a condition to meet the requirements of the most fastidious, provided always they have the “mineral” to pay fastidious prices therefor.

G. L. Holt and (?) Hall, of Osceola, Iowa...

Winfield Courier, Thursday, December 24, 1885.

In November 1883, Holt & Hall, the Iowa firm who built the Winfield Creamery, commenced a suit in the United States Circuit Court, of Kansas, against the Winfield Bank of this place, to recover the amount of $1,000 and interest thereon from the Bank, being its subscription to the stock of the Creamery. This subscription was made by J. C. McMullen, as president of the Bank. The Creamery scheme was worked up by one M. W. Babb, as agent of Holt & Hall. About the time the Creamery Company was formed, J. C. McMullen having lost faith in the project, and foreseeing it would prove a loss to the Bank, gave notice to Babb that the Bank would not stand by its subscription, and informed all the stockholders of this decision, so that they could determine whether they would go on or not with their own subscriptions. To this suit against the Bank, the defense were interposed that by the terms of the contract over the subscriptions, the Creamery Company only was legally liable to Holt & Hall for the balance due upon the price of the Creamery buildings and not the individual subscriptions; and 2nd, that the Bank had no power in law to make a subscription to the stock of a Creamery or any other manufacturing business. Soon after the answer was filed, the plaintiff, fearing probably that the suit against the Bank might not win, brought a second suit against J. C. McMullen, basing their right of recovery on the ground that if his subscription did not bind the Bank, it would bind him personally; and to this suit the defendant interposed merely a denial of any liability to the plaintiffs. Both suits have just been tried together at Topeka, and decided in favor of the defendants. The court held that both these actions must fail. The first action must fail from the want of power in the defendant Bank, to make the subscription alleged in plaintiffs’ petition and because of no privity of contract between the parties; and the second action upon the grounds laid down in Abeles vs. Cochran, 22 Kans., and the cases therein cited, as well as upon many authorities in the U. S. Supreme Court reports and the reports of other states, that where the contract is made in the name of the principal, and without any personal covenant on the part of the agent, and without any wrong on his part, either in act, statement, or omission, the latter is not responsible, even though the former be not bound. In the case and at the trial, the plaintiffs represented by Messrs. Rossington, Smith & Dallas, a leading firm of Topeka, and the defendants by J. F. McMullen, of this city, assisted by J. J. Buck, Esq., of Emporia. This office printed Mr. McMullen’s brief in these cases, which was very length and elaborate, and in which all the questions of law bearing upon the cases, were cited and commented upon. The court decided the cases upon the two principal points relied upon in this brief, which we have given briefly above. The plaintiffs are adjudged to pay the costs in both cases, which are quite large. This settles the cases finally for there is no appeal.

WINFIELD, KANSAS, January 23, 1883. HON. W. P. HACKNEY, State Senator, Topeka, Kansas. Inasmuch as the Prohibition Amendment, as enforced, has always resulted in injury to the material development of our town—it having signally failed to accomplish the object sought, the suppression of the sale and use of intoxicating drinks—we would respectfully urge upon you the necessity of so providing for the enforcement of the law that its application shall be uniform throughout the State. If this is impossible, don’t sacrifice our town on the altar of inordinate devotion to an impracticable principle.

We desire to express through the COURIER our sincere gratitude and appreciation of the kindly reception of the delegates attending the National Suffrage Association, held in Washington last week, by President Arthur and others. We regret our inability as a Society to send a delegate to the Convention, and as yet we have no state organization, which leaves Kansas on this occasion, a little behind the times.

Mr. Thomas Hall and family, of East Bolton, started for Stockton, California, a few days ago. Mr. Hall is in his seventy-first year, but has the vim to think that he can take up government land yet, and fix himself and family a home. Mr. Hall moved to Iowa from Ohio in 1851, when Des Moines was but a small village. He had the misfortune of losing what property he had accumulated and came to Kansas one year ago, having heard of the Oklahoma land, but became discouraged and pulled out for California.

                                                   Prairie Fire Near Beaumont.

During the high wind on Friday, a fire broke out near Beaumont and swept to the south and east with terrible swiftness and irresistible force. Roads and hedges, usually an effective barrier against prairie fires, proved of no avail in this case. Haystacks were licked up at one mouthful and fences were quickly demolished. Many farmers had their fences all swept away. A man named Hall, living near Box City, had his hay, corn, barn, horses, and everything except his house swept away. In fighting the fire he was severely burned. His eyes were so badly burned that the recovery of his sight is doubtful. Other farmers whose places had just been seeded and little firebreaks plowed in consequence, also lost heavily. In some places where the grass was heavy, the flames rolled to a height of twenty feet. This same section recently had a round of the hog cholera and the farmers of northeastern Cowley will suffer greatly this winter in consequence. Winfield Telegram.

G. W. Hall. [Later referred to as “W. E. Hall.”]..

Winfield Courier, Thursday, December 31, 1885.

Another illicit whiskey vendor has come to grief—G. W. Hall, who kept kegs of “rot gut” in his room in the Lindell Hotel bath house, and peddled it in bottles at a dollar a pint. Constables Siverd and McFadden got on to his racket and soon had some of his forty-rod encased for evidence. Friday he was pulled and tried before Judge Snow. The evidence was of the kind that knocks a violator down at first sight. He got $200 fine and ninety days in jail. He hasn’t the wherewith to pay the $200, but is simply able to lay out the bastille sentence, which will be an effective pill. He came here a few weeks ago from Licking, Ohio, and has been receiving letters under another name than Hall, supposedly from his wife.

On Saturday Sheriff McIntire, with his deputy, Tom Herrod, aided by City Marshal Gray, raided a number of joints in this city, and captured several prisoners. The parties taken in were Frank Blubaugh, J. W. Hall, W. D. Johnson, and Ed Leonard, alias W. B. Bartholomew. Blubaugh was admitted to bail, the others were carried to Winfield and committed to jail, to await trial, which is set for today. Frank Miller and Van Skoid, owners of the billiard hall, in the Sherburne building, escaped arrest and have left the country. The charge against the accused is selling intoxicating liquors in violation of law, and the County Attorney is said to have proof to convict. There are seven counts against Johnson and four against Leonard.

Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, September 4, 1886. From Thursday’s Daily.

J. W. Hall, one of the A. C. Booze dispensers, was given $200 and 90 days at the McIntire House by Judge Buckman yesterday, besides being placed under $300 bond to respect the law during the next year. Hall was not so lucky as some of his fellow jointers.

The season of the festive picnic is at hand. It was inaugurated this morning in the District Clerk’s office, under the shade of the branching moustaches of Ed. Pate, Mr. Hall, Ed. G.

It was a crazy patchwork concern, several parties furnishing the ingredients—regulation lemonade and the finest hickory-nut cake that ever came under the palates of relentless epicures. Those partaking of this lunch, besides the illustrious names above given were Mrs. Hastings and Misses Maggie Herpich and Hattie Stolp, the culinary connoisseurs of the occasion, Leota Gary, and Laura Huey—all of the courthouse fraternity.

C. P. Hall and W. F. Wyman, of Boston, plan to open bank...

Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, January 22, 1887. From Wednesday’s Daily.

C. P. Hall and W. F. Wyman, of Boston, were in the city yesterday. They were looking up a location, and decided that Arkansas City was the best town in the state. They were won by the business appearance of our streets, and some time in the spring will open a bank in our city. Messrs. Hall and Wyman represent a large amount of capital, and will be valuable additions to our city. They stopped in Winfield Monday night. From the breakfast hour until train time, 10:30 a.m., Mr. Hall informs us that the people seen on the streets there would not equal a baker’s dozen. This killed their idea of stopping at Winfield. Then, too, the real estate agent talked against Arkansas City so much that they became disgusted and came down here. The REPUBLICAN welcomes all such men as Messrs. Hall and Wyman.

Fred Hall...

Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, February 12, 1887. From Friday’s Daily.

Mable Noe and Anna Van Hook were arrested over at Geuda yesterday by the city marshal. They were wanted here for a “big time” they had night before last in rooms in the Ex-Occidental hotel building. Mable and Anna and a youth by the name of Fred Hall went on a drunken spree and during the debauch the first named fought with another prostitute by the name of Jennie Miller. The gang thought they would play it sharp on Marshal Gray and the following morning skipped for Geuda. But they were headed off by the telephone. Marshal Gray ordered their arrest and they had scarcely touched the town until they were taken in. Before Judge Bryant the gay Mable was fined $10 and costs; Anna $5 and costs. Fred Hall had his trial this morning and was fined $5 and costs. Marshal Gray ordered Noe to leave the city on the first train or he would put her in jail.
