lie Steel preferred. Losses of from
two to four points were registered.
One unimportant Failure.
Laidlaw & Carrie, members of the
consolidated stock exchange, announc-
ed their suspension today. The failure
is not important enough to have an
effect on the stock exchange.
Confidence Again Returns.
With the announcement that all the
sheets had passed the stock exchange
clearing house, buying became definite
ly predominant over selling and the
market rose with animation, only the
stocks that had been notably weak
failing to recover fully. On the rally
the demand diminished to small pro-
portions and the whole list yielded
again easily.
Short Lived Decline.
Selling was resumed on large
scale. About dozen of the leading
stocks yielded to a lower level. The
decline was short-lived, as heavy buy
ing orders appeared all through the list
and the earlier losses were pretty eff
fectually wiped out.
Closes Active and Strona,
The stock market closed active and
strong, generally at about the top
prices for today.

TING TO DEATH PEDDLER
WHO ASSAULTED GIRL.

Council Bluffs, Aug. 6.-Side Elike,
the Assyrian peddler, who is alleged
to have made a criminal assault on the
person of the 9-year-old daughter of
Henry Bruggeman a German farmer,
near Nicola last Friday. was arrested
four miles north of Little Sioux by
City Marshal Corbett of Nicola, who had
been on the trail of the fellow ever
since the knowledge of the assault
gained currency las Monday morning.
Violence Threatened.
The fellow was lodged in the Little
Sioux jail and later was taken to Ne
ola for preliminary hearing before
Justice Riley Clark. Excitement ran
SO high when it was learned that the
fellow charged with the crime was in
town and SO many were the threats Of
violence that the preliminary hearing
was set for Friday morning and the
prisoner was hurried out Of town and
returned to the county Jail in this city
for safe keeping.
Begged, But Had Money.
Side Elike is the typical Assyrian
peddler, dirty and ragged. He has been
going through the country peddling
and generally begging his way, show
Ing as evidence OF his extreme power
ty his ragged clothes
When searched by Marshal Corbettl
he was found to have certificates Of
deposit on Omaha and Kansas City
banks for S1,940 and $797 in cash.
May Lynch Him.
The citizens of Nicola and surround
ing country are mostly Germans. They
have taken great interest in this
case, as the child assaulted is Ger
man. The opinion is freely expressed
that when the prisoner goes to Nicola
for his preliminary Friday he will have
to be heavily guarded or he may new
er be given trial by a regularly or
ganized court. He has been fully iden-
titled.
