MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trading Not Large and Prices Un.

The trade in futures was not yerv large
nor very exciting. There was little in the
news of character to create uneasiness on
elther side and the tendency was naturally
to hold the market at about an unchanged
position from the close Tuesday
1t seems pretty hard for the two sides of
the cash wheat market to come to an un-
derstanding Prices as a result were some
what irregular and trading was of a small
volume. The elevator people were asking
119c premium for the cash wheat while the
mlllers were only willing to pay the regular
premium of a cent. Occasionally each side
would make small concession which would
bring them close enough to allow trans
action, but, on the whole, business was not
altogether satisfactory to either side.

To Secure the Punishment of Bank
SwindIer EIwood.
G. S. Elwood, the now notorious bank
crook, who has been swindling Kansas,
Colorado and Oklahoma banks on bogus
drafts. has again escaped.
Elwood was under arrest in Oklahoma.
but Governor Rentfrow at first refused
to allow him to be brought back to Kan
sas on a requisition from Governor Nor
rill, fearing he said that he would not be
properly punished.
A few days ago Mr.. M. B. Tomblin of
GoodIand, one of Elwood's victims, went
to oklahoma armed with letter from
Governor Morrill, assuring Governor
Rentfrow that Eiwood would be prosecu-
ted to the fullest extent of the law if
brought back here.
Governor Rentfrow then honored the
requisition, and Mr Tomblin and an Of
ticer went to the district where Elwood
was supposed to be confined in jail.
They learned however that the sheriff
had on the order of the district judge
allowed the prisoner to be taken out of
Jail in charge of a deputy to whom he
had offered 800 if he could be taken up
to his home in Grant county to transact
some business.
Whom he was once out of Jail and
learned that the requisition had been
honored, he escaped from the deputy on
a fast horse which it is said he had, in
waiting over two weeks.
Mr.. Tomblin came back to Kansas
much disappointed, but has called
meeting of the bankers who have been
virtimized by Elwood. These bankers
will hold a meeting at the Throop in To-
peka Wednesday of this week to make
arrangements TO capture Elwood once
more, and punish him to the extent of the
law.
Mr.. Tomblin says he finds bankers in
almost every town he visits, who have
been victimized by Elwood.
Royse, Elwood's partner, was on Satur-
day sentenced to three years in the peni-
tertiary at Enid.
