MURDER OF LILLE
Wife Believed to Have Done IT in

She Had Lost Heavily in Bucket

More Money.

A.. b. i
David City, Neb.; Dec. 26.-,H the
theory of the detectives who arrested
Mrs. Harvey Lille for the death Of her
husband is right, she is guilty of gdia-
bolically planned crime. For six weeks
the officers have been looking for the man
who killed Lille. His wife added $500
to the 81 500 regard offered by the county
for his apprehension.
K About 5 o'clock one morning, early in
November, Mrs Lille ran down stairs
from the bedroom, declaring burglar had
shot her husband. Her daughters went
for help, and she was alone some time.
Investigation disclosed the fact that Mrs.
Lille slept on the side Of the bed next
to the, window and that he was shot from
her side of the bed. the powder burn
ing the skin. Another bullet was fired out
of the window, scorching the lace cur
TAIN 1t struck a building across the
street, showing it was fired almost at a
level. Mrs. Lille says she rolled off the
bed when the burglar fired at her. 70
1t is found that Mrs. Lille lost $500 in
bucket shop speculation. and that this
followed losses amounting to $1,000. Her
husband had life insurance amounting TO
$1,000. 3d.. IN,
She says the burglar took $500 the night
of the crime. The detectives found the
weapon used had been procured from a
relative of Mrs. Lille and her arrest fol-
lowed. The only motive that can be as
signed for the crime is that Mrs. Lille
wanted the life insurance to retrieve her
losses in bucket shop dealings. zS

TOO MANY THERMOMETERS

however and it was half past 10 O'Clock
before the work Of equalization Of the
city assessment was begun. Personal
property was first taken UP and consid-
cred by the boa.d
The total assessment of city prop
erty will be somewhat less than Last
year. The assessment is made at about
the same rate, but there is valuation
of S113.763 of real property that has
to be withdrawn from the tax roll for
the reason that the title to this amount
of property now vests in the county
for delinquent taxes and the law re-
quires it to be taken from the tax rolls.
This makes the principal and about
the only difference between the assess
ment of this and last year.
The total value of personal property
this year, as returned by the assessors,
is about $4,000 more than the return
for last year. The total personal as
sessment this year is $2S3,79 There
are 265 head of cattle returned in the
city and All head of horses. Ninety
pianos are returned at a value of
$6,540. Other property returned is
as follows, enumerating some of the
items: Il organs at total value of
1858; household furniture to the total
of So. $50; gold and silver plate worth
S904; diamonds, watches and jewelry
to the value of $2.14S: steamboats,, at

value of $SO.59O; shares of bank stock,
$775.2244; elevators. $3.50: money other

= Of real property returned, there is a
total of S777,955; of this, $514,S10 is
for lots and S263.145 for structures on
lots. There is some change in the
valuation of lots over last year.

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, June 1S.-Cables were
up this morning, which with the up
turn in the July corn anticipated, gave
wheat a firm opening. At 751ae for
the. July, however, offerings became
excessive shortly after the opening, re-
sulting in nearly half cent setback.
The shortage in receipts Yesterday
were accounted for today, being 262
against $50 last year. The furry in
the July corn has to some extent re-
tarded speculation but we now look
for the market to run in more nat
ural course. The weather promises
to be brighter and most shorts. have
pretty well covered in the corn. We
look for some lower range of values.
Corn was much desired this morning
Notwithstanding the fact that cables
were unchanged Receipts were not
disappo ointing, but the squeeze has
been SO thoroughly advertised that a
second bulge in a couple OF days was
too much for less aggressive bears
After covering range OF IA cent, sell.
ing up to So the market started down
and proved that sales on these bulgesl
'cansbe made about as profitable as ptlr-
chases on dips. 1t may take a couple
OF days for corn to confine itself to less
than a cent range. These prices
should materially increase receipts. Il
II Oats are insuficiently interesting to
warrant special mention. They look
safe to scalp on either side where a
decidedly sharp fluctuation transpires.
Provisions were considerably neg
lected. The fact is. perhaps, due to.
the extreme interest in the, corn pit
On first signs Of strength would take
on few as believe they are due for a
much higher level.

bought everything in sight and bid ex-
citedly for more in order to stop their
losses. Prices fluctuated widely and
wildly. The manipulated option
opened rather steady at 64% to 647s,
but at once began making jumps Of
one point or more, recedlng as much
and then advancing still further.
Shortly after the first hour of trad e
July sold at 655s cents. From this
price it declined to 651s, only to be
pushed up again in short time to
67M. y. u.
Shorts continued to cover in July
corn feverishly up to the close of trade.
Gossip on the floor had it that the ele-
vators were against the bull manipu-
lators and that they were rushing in
contract stuff This was given as a
reason why the bull crowd let the price
jump up SO high this early in the
month. It is thought that the culmina-
tion of the corner is to be brought
about within the week. July kept on
the upward jump and closed strong,
3h cents higher than the previous
days close, and at an advance Of Az
cents since Monday morning. The
closing price was the highest of the
day-671S cents.

the murder Of Fritz Phillip ait Bowdon
two, OBrien and Davis, have been
bound over to await the action Of the
district court. O'Brien waived exam
ination and Davis had a hearing be-
fore Justice Hunt at Fessenden. The
other three men, who were implicated
in the murder, had a hearing, but as
evidence against them was very slight
and wholly circumstantial, they were
bound over as witnesses, and, in de-
fault of bail, are in the custody of the
sheriff at Fessenden.
