DISMISSED THE CASE
Young Men Appear Be-
fore u. S. Commissioner.
POST OFFICE ROBBERY
At Kingman Revived Charged
With Being Accessories,

Yesterday morning l. A. Burns and
Allen Niekells Of Kingman, were taken
before United States Commissioner
shearman in the federal building to an
swer to the charge of being accessories
IN the crime Of robbing the postofice at
Kingman on November q. last year.
The men were arrested some time ago
and yesterday their preliminary hearing
took place. On the night Of November
25, Chas, Foults was shot and almost in
stantly killed by City Marshal J. S.
Wrenchey while in the postodice Of King
man in the act of robbing it. The young
man was a respected citizen Of Kingman
and was not suspected Of being a criminal
Of any such character.
The young man died without telling any
story and without discriminating anyone
j else in the crime. Postofice Inspector
Hossford worked on the case and the
two young men were arrested.
Deputy United States Attorney Bone
came here from Topeka to prosecute the
case. After hearing the statements re-
garding the crime, the hearing was sus-
pended and the case dismissed. The
young men were given their liberty.
The occurrence at the time caused
much excitement in Kingman. The bring
ing OF the two young men to this city
caused the excitement TO be revived and
the case of young Foults was again gone
over.
The dismissing Of the case against the
two young men lets the matter drop and
there is now no clue to the postoflce az
fair beyond that Of Foults, who was
killed in the attempt to get away.

its roots, lighted it up. This was q pic
ture, these things all combined that it
VIII take time to efface from the mind.
With the wind. that stirred now and
then from the north, bringing its cold
with #, came the sound Of the big whistle
at Dolds. They had planned to give the
century welcome. They did it and the
big whistle sent out tts hoarse sound for
many minutes. 1t is an accustomed
sound to the people Of Wichita, but at
midnight as the century was going and
another coming IN, It was a sound that
appealed to the mind and caused it to
realize the Importance of the occasion.
Mingled with 1t were the other whistles
over the city. Church bells were rung,
and each church bell with its sweet
tone. sent in its welcome to the greatest
century, even in its infancy that the
world has ever seen.
To George Bergman the beauty and
success Of the century in
Wichita is due This man and his friends
have toiled early and late for the sue
cess OF the project. Mr. Bergman took
charge of the affair He was away from
his business a portion Of the time to
make the necessary arrangements, but
despite that fact he did the work and for
that reason the event OF last night at
the midnight hour was successful. with
George Bergman stood number Of
loyal men. They worked under his direc-
ton. They were just as anxious as he
to make a splendid success Of the well
coming project, and last night they
watched the beginning IN one century
and the close OF their project in another
century. The citizens Of this city admire
the energy Of these men and are glad
to have contributed and taken part in a
movement as successful as this one.
At 1915 much Of the demonstration was
over There were numbers Of people !
st.Ii on the streets. Many were IN
masks and marched along blowing horns /
and using other matchmaking devices to /
show that they were doing all in their
power to welcome the century.
The street cars waited down at the cor
ner Of Main and Douglas for the people 1
who were out At q little after p they
started with many passengers on their 1
trips. TIE people appreciated the action !
Of the street car company. It gave them |
an opportunity Of seeing the demonstra- |
ton down town. or otherwise spending /
the time socially. The motormen were /
tired, of course. but they viii be given an /
extra hour this morning to rest. This /
means that the cars VIII start on their (
usual trips one hour later than the usual /
time.
BY I O'Clock the streets were deserted /
and the new century had appeared. and /
today people wiz plan and anticipate The
things which bring either JOY or happi-
lass In their lives

Influences Operate in Conflict n Part of

l OI | tho ime. 1 New York, Jan. 22.-The influences in 1 the stock market to-day operated in conflict a part of the time and never in clearly defined concert. There was a palpable effort to open prices high. In fact brokers in a number of stocks ad- mitted the reckon of the orders to make familiar device of traders, who have gone long of stocks during rise on one day to get the greatest possible benefit from the demand, attracted by the rise, in selling out The quick relapse after the opening in prices of the stocks which were most palpably manipulated yesterday disclosed the operations of this class. St. Paul and Northern Pa- clfic were conspicuously affected in this way, the former opening up 1 3-4 and the latter rising almost as much and then running off again to near last nights level The same stocks came into prominence again late in the day, after the news had been received of Queen Victoria's death. This event had been so definitely foreseen that there was little reason to expect that It's ac- tual announcement would cause any marked depression in the market. But apparently there was a speculative ele- ment who feared the possibility of sell ing induced by the queens death. Af- ter that event was reported there was , iY, ha ,oti ixrift Of he a,lya as though awaiting its effect on prices. The market came practically to 8 standstill with the cessation of the op- erations by room traders. That element was thus encouraged to bid up prices again and they lifted St. Paul 1-2 over last night, Northern Pacific 2 7-S and the grangers, Pacifics, trunk lines and more prominent stocks generally from to points. The same traders were active in Sugar, finally making the ex- treme advance Is. On the other hand, the sensational movement in Missouri Pacific was brought to a sud- den stop after a 3 point jump at the opening, and the Wabash stocks also fell back. The extreme decline in Mis- souri Pacific was z 1-2 and it closed at a Ilet JOSS or 5 l-Z. InlS acton or the stock naturally caused some doubt to be thrown on the rumors of a coming consolidation of the Southwestern rail- road systems The other members of the Southwestern group were, however well sustained and the absorption of Wabash debenture B bonds continued on an enormous scale and at a price level above that of yesterday Mis- souri Pacific was in urgent demand in the loan crowd and commanded as high as 1-2 per cent. premium for use by the shorts.
