Saw Ghosts and Shot Himself.

Wolbach, Neb., Jan. 19.-Joseph
Ray, bachelor living eight miles
southwest of Wolbach, shot himself
to death while out hunting. For some
time the neighbors had noticed that
Ray acted strangely. He had a habit
of going to their houses at night and
asking them if they believed in ghosts.
He said the ghosts were around his
house.
Ray, against the wishes of his
friends, went hunting and his dead
body was found the next day. More
than 800 in checks and cash was in
his pockets. He has a sister living
in Ohio, but there are no other known
relatives, The body was taken to st.
Paul and given into the care of the
coroner.

ELECTION CONTEST IN OMAHA.
Controversy Over Office of Clerk of
District Court.

Omaha, Jan. 19.-The election con-
test for the Office of clerk of the dis
trict court by W. w. Bingham against
Frank A. Broadwell, was commenced
before Judge Vinsonhaler yesterday.
The ballot boxes from nine pre-
cincts in South Omaha were identified
by the judges In the First precinct
of the First ward, James Grace, judge
of election, testified that when the bal
lots were counted there were found to
be three more ballots cast than ap-
peared on the poll book. In order to
make the number of ballots conform
to the record, three ballots were drawn
out of the box. They were not count
ed on either side and no one knows
for which candidate they were
marked.
The ballot boxes were opened this
afternoon and the counting COM
menced. The case will probably occu-
py the greater portion of the week.

FIRST ATHLETIC CLUB EVENT
Armory Hall by the Athletic Club
Thursday Night.

The new Norfolk Athletic club has
planned for series of contests to be
given in Armory hall next Thursday
evening to further the clubs interests.
Two of the fastest wrestlers in the
city will compete on the mat. Ernest
Manske is one and the other will not
be known until the night of the con-
test as he refuses to permit the publi-
cation of his name in connection, how
ever he is said to be a swift one.
AL Miller and Rudolph Merring will
also meet on the mat. These contests
will be catch-as-catch-can, best two
out of three falls and it is anticipated
that they alone will be well worth the
price of admission. Two siX-round
glove contests will complete the pro-
gram for the evening. Mike Bartle-
man will have a go at Fred Spaulding
and Tommy Sullivan will give Al
Madsen some scientific touches. The
contest is scheduled to start at $3.50
and there will undoubtedly be large
and enthusiastic attendance.

LOST WIFE AND PARLOR ORGAN
Fremont Man Comes Home to Find
His Home Deserted and no Trace
of Her.

Fremont, Neb., Jan. 18.-W. l..
Shocknesse, 131 West South street,
is minus wife and a parlor organ.
He does not know where his spouse Is,
but thinks she has eloped with another
man, and circumstances in the case
confirm his suspicion. The organ is
at the second hand store of S. Kavich
on Main street. Mr. Shocknesse has
turned 1t over to the proprietor of the
store to square a sale of household
furniture which his wife made to Ka-
vich without his knowledge before she
left home and on which the dealer ad-
vanced the woman $34
Mrs. Shocknesse has not been at
home since 10 o'clock last Thursday
night. At that time she packed up
her clothing and personal effects and
betook herself to parts unknown. Her
little stepdaughter, six years old, was
left alone at the house all night. The
little girl was in bed upstairs when
Mrs. Shocknesse left. The child thinks
someone came after her stepmother
and accompanied her from the house,
but is not sure. Before leaving, Mrs.
Shocknesse said to the girl: I'm 60
ing away. When you get up in the
morning, brush your hair and go over
to Swanson's for breakfast. Stay there
till your father comes home"

In the earlier days the trader, who
was later replaced by the merchant,
exchanged necessities, such as gro
ceries, clothes, guns, ammunition, etc,
for furs. This was before the settlers
had commenced to raise grains more
than enough for their own consump-
ton, and the only things he had to
exchange for his necessities, In those
days, were the furs from the animals
he killed, and with which the country
abounded. AS the country grew older
and more thickly settled, the fur bear
ing animals became scarce and the
settlers turned their attention to ag-
riculture. The fur trader disappeared,
and In his place the country merchant,
who had only small stock of the
principal necessities, and a few lux
uries, to exchange for cash, grains or
other produce.
This was all very well for the coun-
try merchant during the summer
months, when the rivers and lakes
were open and he could get his grain
and produce down the river to market,
but when the winter set in and the
rivers and lakes were frozen, he could
get no more of his grain or other pro-
duce to market until after the ice had
disappeared from the rivers and lakes
the next spring.
"These circumstances brought about
the first necessity of selling grain for
future delivery
"The country merchant, knowing
that he could not get any more of his
grain down the river to market until
the following spring, sold the dealer
farther down the river so many bush
els of grain, to be delivered after the
opening of navigation the following
spring. This was the first future on
wheat, and as the time for delivery
was in May, 1t was therefore May
wheat.
This system of selling grain for
future delivery has been extended
since the advent of the railroads, to
nearly every month of the year, The
practice of selling grain for future de-
livery has reached such a scale that
1t has become commercial necessity.
At the present time our Touring mills
and grain dealers could not exist and
conduct their business proftably were
| 1t not for the fact that they can now
buy and sell grains for future deliv.

LATER DETAILS OF THE TRAGEDY
Ramus Is Alleged to Have lnterfered
in a Fight and to Have Rustled
Cattle.

Springview, Neb,, Jan. 19.-Spec-
ial to The News: The tragic kill
ing of the quarter-breed Indian Jim
Ramus on the Rosebud reservation
north of here by Dan Roby Sunday
morning, was the result of a row over
the rustling of cattle, and 1t is thought
that Roby's plea will be self defense
His case will be matter for the ad-
judication of the federal court, and
Roby, who is at present in the charge
of the sheriff of this county, will prob
ably be turned over to the United
States marshal as soon as he arrives.
When Roby came on the scene he
found Ramus pounding Charles Wake
field, to whom Ramus was indebted to
for some money. Roby at once inter
fered and Ramus turned on him,
swearing that he would kill him.
Roby shot twice in the air in an effort
to frighten the threatening quarter
blood Ramus continued to advance
on him, however, and the third time
Roby shot, he shot to kill and the
death of his assailant was almost in
stantaneous.
Roby left the body of the dead man
in charge of Walter Kenaston and
came to Springview where he told
what he had done and placed himself
in the hands of the officers.
Roby also states that Ramus was
attempting to make off with some of
his cattle, which he gives as another
cause for the shooting. Roby will be
held by the sheriff, pending the ar
rival of the United States marshal.
