Kidnap suspects still loose
United Press International
STERLING — Investigators looking for three suspects who abducted a highway patrolman urged residents yesterday to check on relatives and friends who may be in the path of the fugitives.
"We would like to urge people to check on relatives or friends who might be tied up somewhere or even dead," said Capt. Melvin Wedermeyer of the Kansas Highway Patrol.
Wedermeyer said authorities suspected that the fugitives, two men and a woman, stole another car in the Sterling area after abandoning a car they had stolen
on Saturday from a farm house near Wilson in central Kansas. That vehicle was found by a farmer Sunday hidden under bales of hay and plastic near an abandoned farm house.
However, he said authorities had not received any reports of stolen vehicles in the area.
Meanwhile, agents with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation continued searching for clues in a motor home that the suspects were in when Sgt. Dan Gifford, an 11-year veteran with the patrol, stopped them Saturday on Interstate 70 east of Russell to tell them that items on top of the vehicle were coming loose.
The suspects, described as young, neat and well dressed, forced Gifford at gunpoint into the motor home. After driving various county roads, they came to the farmhouse of Ira and Amanda Mog near Wilson, where they left Gifford, the Mogs and their son, Robert, bound but uninjured.
The suspects took a car owned by the Moggs and tried to hide the motor home, which had been stolen from Salt Lake City on Aug. 21, in a shed at the farm.
Authorities set up roadblocks and used dogs and planes in a vain attempt to hunt down the fugitives Saturday.
TOPEKA — More than 1,200 Kansas bacteria culture growers — with claims totaling more than $2.3 million — have filed for a piece of the bond established under court order by Culture Farms Inc. of Lawrence, and Activator Supply Co. of Pahrump, Nev.

Firms want piece of Culture's pie
That could leave Shawnee County District Judge James Buchele with a Solomon-like decision because the fund only holds $45,000.
"We have 1,000 claims on the computer, a total of 1,200 in the office and people are still walking in the door and driving in," "Topeka accountant Daxpson said shortly"
before 5 p.m. yesterday.
That was the deadline for Kansas culture growers to make claims on the fund established to protect growers' interests from an alleged pyramid scheme by Culture Farms, Activator Supply and related companies. Only Kansas growers are eligible for this particular fund, although it is believed the firms did business in up to 30 states.
Paxson has the job of weeding out ineligible claims.
"The last total of claims I had was $2.3 million," Paxson said. "That was the total file, entered and
totaled as of 4:45 p.m. today, and we're still, of course, entering them."
Once the list is narrowed to verified claims, it will be up to Buchele to decide how to divide up the pie, if claims still total more than the fund.
Culture Farms and Activator Supply, in effect, were shut down in Kansas by Buchele, who supported a finding by Kansas Securities Commissioner John Wurth that the firms were selling unregistered securities and operating a "Ponzi" scheme, a type of pyramid sales ploy in which money of new investors is used to pay off earlier investors.
