Minneapolis-A sprinkling of bull items
appeared In the news and the wheat mar
ket, turning responsive, was hrm and
fraction higher at the opening. Decem-
Der opened at IT'S @71Ac and May was
78kc to start. but it was impossible to
hold the gain, and December was back to
and heavy over the Northwest and more
rain was predicted for Saturday night,
which made the feeling here very firm.
But the outside markets would not follow
any uptuTn. and ST. Louis, the leader in
recent strength was off at the start and
very uncertain. The foreign markets were
again Indifferent, but the statistical esti-
mates favored strength. The weather
map shows general rains through the
Northwest. very heavy at some points in
the Dakotas and Minnesota. 1t Is colder
in the extreme north. with SHOWS through
the northern part Of Manitoba. There are
showers and high temperatures through
Nebraska. Iowa and parts of Kansas.
The map shows too much moisture for
wheat movement Conditions continue
very favorable for finishing late corn.
Weakness in corn made it hard to hold
wheat.
Near the close of the session liquidation
began and with outside markets weak and
declining prices here gave way also. De-
cember sold off to 761sc and closed at
76H @76Ac- May closed easy at 77Ac.

Corn Is Likewise Loser.
Extremely favorable weather through
out the corn belt. together with the
weakness in wheat, was responsible for
lower prices in corn. Commission houses

most of the buying. The volume of

The weakness in wheat and corn was
the principal factor in bringing out free
selling of oats by discouraged longs and
prices slumped accordingly. The bearish
sentiment was stimulated by the fine
weather. which is said to be resulting in
freer offerings from the country. 1Ile

have succeeded in getting half the capac-
ity going by the end of this week. Mill
ers have held prices very steady in the
face of influence for change either way.
and to this time are quoting practically
the same figures, although the market
was reported somewhat firmer Saturday.

great many people in Custer County, that a
part of the collections mentioned above was
collected by distress, and the expense of sherff's
fees and mileage connected Herewith is as much
an item of expense as is the treasurer's and his
clerks salaries.
We will next examine this item of expense.
The sheriff received $771 90 in fees for warrants
on which he made collections. This was paid
by the parties from whom the collections were
made. On warrants which no collections
were made, he received from the county as fees
the sum of 81, 40350. AS mileage on the dis
tress warrants on which collections were made,
he received $1,274.35 On warrants on which
no collections were made, he received from the
county the sum of So, 33455. Nor are these all
the items of expense. The county attorney was
helping to collect tax and kept clerk at a sal
airy of $40 per month, who was paid for his SER
vices out of the General fund of the county

The following we take from
the Portland, Oregon, Evening
Telegram of September 10:
Ashland, Or, Sept. 19.-A
decided sensation was caused in
this city yesterday by the news
of the arrest of Geo. w. Trefren,
for years prominently engaged
here in the law, real estate and
insurance business, on the charge
of uttering forged instrument
by placing the same on record.
The information filed against
Mr.. Trefren was at the instance
of District Attorney Reames, and
charges him with the crime of
uttering, by having placed on
the county records, a spurious re-
lease of mortgage on property
on Mechanic street, in this city.
"The property in question was
formerly owned by Mr.. Trefren,
who, to secure a loan of 5000
from h. *. Sutton, gave the
latter mortgage upon it.
Afterwards Trefren sold the pro-
perty to Mr.. Dyar, and later
Sutton transferred his mortgage
to the late Mrs. ]. Houck, who
did not record the assignment at
the time. In settling up the
Houck estate the executors dis
covered a satisfaction of the
Sutton mortgage on file and dat
ed back to July, 1901. This led
to the investigation by the Dis
trict Attorney.
"Mr. Treiren, accompanied by
his attorney, Hon. E. ID. Briggs,
appeared in the Circuit Court at
Jacksonville this morning to
plead, and asked for a continu-
ance until the next term of court.
1.-The accused attorney denies
all knowledge of the alleged
spurious instrument"
