injured. She was on an excursion
train running from WILDER, Neb., to
Omaha While she attempted to pass

BIG SLUMP IN CORN PRICES
July Option in Corn Drops Ten and a
Half Cents in the First Hours
Trading Yesterday.
Believed the Gates Corner Has Been
Permanently Smashed by Amount
Of Corn Stuff.
Present Price is Twenty-Five Cents
Below the Highest Price that
was Reached. ~

Chicago, July 16.-Corn fell with a
thud at the opening Of trade. Fair
weather., lower cables and immense
receipts broke the market jaggedly,
and, incidentally, it is thought. broke
John W. Gates corner in July options
All interest was centered in the corn
pit, where July was cutting queer ca
pers. The opening was weak, to 2
cents down from the previous days
close. There seemed to be no support
within miles Of the pit and, left to it.
self, the market plunged headlong un-
der the hammering of the elated bears.
In the first hour Of business 101s cents
was knocked off the price of July,
GsA cents being the price, or loss of
2O7A cents since the fancy price of 80
cents that this option brought during
the recent rainy weather. There was
no controlling the break during the
early hour. Fluctuations were mostly
1 cent apart. September was in
measure weak also, opening unchanged
at 81 to 60%, and selling off to 6OA.
Receipts were very large, S27 cars, 29S
of contract grade. Private elevators
marketed 116 cars and $4,000 bushels,
making total of Ala cars and $4,000
bushels for the day. This, with that
of $4,000 bushels Monday and pros
poets of half million bushels day
for some time yet and delivery closing
day two weeks off stampeded the
crowd. All hands argued that no cor
ner could Withstand such abundant Of
ferings.
Hope the Corner Is Smashed.
While the bear interests in the corn
pit expressed hopes that the turmoil
in corn presaged an end of the July
corner brokers affiliated with the bull
that the congested option was not be.
ing supported by the Gates-New York
clique was that prices were too fancy
in consideration of the quantity of
stuff being rushed to market. Prac-
tically the only buyers in the market
have been the bull clique. It has been
somewhat difficult for this party to un-
load all the cash corn which it has
been forced to take in order to support
the corner. With half a million BUSH
els coming in daily they say the mar
ket must take care of itself. Pursuing
this course they allowed July to make
a further dip to 81 cents before noon.
This was break of 19 cents under the
previous days high price. Conserva-
tive spectators said that the trade
was really as much in the dark over
the real position of corn as at any
time during the congestion.
Neglected by the bulls and with cash
corn slumping badly July corn contin.
ued to break all session. Shortly be.
fore noon 65A cents as low price was
reached.

Auburn, Wash, July 16.-Tracy, the
escaped convict, has repeated his old
tricks and doubled on his tracks. He
was seen on a road near the Muckle-
shoot reservation by an Indian boy.
He was also seen by Henry O'Neill, a
rancher, at the same time. While
Tracy was stealing by old roads and
trails back from Enumenclaw the
bloodhound brigade was on a stampede
to Palmer Junction. The outlaw had
an open field before him. The few
guards who were left in the vicinity
of Auburn could not cover all the in
tricate approaches from Enumenclaw.
If Tracy's strength had lasted he could
practically have walked towards Seat
tie without opposition. The territory
which he covered was phenomenal
and when he reached the ridge of
Muckleshoot he was undoubtedly too
fatigued to continue further. Other
wise nothing lay in his way.

The body Of David Merrill, who es-

about the duel in the forest. The re-
mains were in somewhat advanced
stage of decomposition but were still
recognizable. s ;@'
The last time that Merrill was seen
in company with Tracy was on June

capped their pursuers. Later Tracy told
that he had killed his comrade unfair
