STOCKS AND
WHEAT MARKETS
OPERATED ALIKE

NEW YORK, May 20.-The recent
inertia of the stock market gave way
today to n sharp downward movement,

was clear evidence also that the hands
which were operating with renewed
vigor in stocks were carrying on par;ri-
lei operations in the wheat market.
This is a very usual coupling of specu-

arguments for selling of securities, es-

Granger railways were in fact quite
conspicuous in the selling of today ana
IL was common belief that some spe-
cial selling orders in the stock mar
ket came from houses with important
grain market connections. Selling from
these sources were not confined to the
grangers and that group of stocks had
some factors to contend with in conse-
ouence with the bad crop reports
!
The speculation for the decline re-
ceived a considerable impetus from the
news of government activity at Wash
ington. The special weakness of the
Hill stocks was traceable to the re-
port from Washington that the inquiry
into the common relations of these
companies to the Burlington railroad
was to he aggressively extended. TIE

about the lowest of the day and repre-
sented some severe declines in the

NO INQUEST TO BE HELD
OVER THIS DEAD BODY

Deputy Sheriffs Will Moorman and
Ed Gilbert had wild-goose chase for
ten miles yesterday afternoon in
search of a supposed dead man, whose
body was thought to be mouldering in
the bottom on an abandoned well or
shaft between Ely and Whitehorse.
Stanley Reed, who passed the open
ing of the shaft early yesterday morn
ing, noticed an unusual odor, and sup
posing that there was a dead man in
the bottom of the hole so notified the
sheriffs office.
Norman and Gilbert secured a con-
veyance and a fast team, and with
Reed as a guide. started for the shaft.
Arriving there, the men uncoiled a
long rope which they had taken with
them for that purpose, and after test
ing the hole for foul gases with lighted
candles drew lots to determine which
of the officers should descend to the
bottom.
The lot fell to Moorman, who pluck
lily fastened the rope about his body
and was lowered to the depths of the
shaft.
There he made a horrible discovery.
His candle had been extinguished in his
descent, and the foul odor in the shaft
was almost unbearable.' MOorman
quickly relighted his candle and made
a hurried examination of the bottom
and had no difficulty in discovering the
corpse.
1t was half buried in the rock and
earth which had caved from the sides
of the shaft. One limb protruded and
part of the head was visible.
Moorman tugged twice at the rope
and the men at the top heaved away in
response to the signal. There Moor
man made known his gruesome find
1t was the corpse of a dog which had
fallen through the opening at the sur
face There Will be no coroner's in
nueat

: referee AT THE
TONOPAH FIGHT.

TONOPAH, New. May 20.-By select
ing George Siler of Chicago for refe-
rec in the coming finish fight between
Marvin Hart and Mike Schrcck. the
only hitch was overcome today. This
fight is slated at Tonopah on the after
noon of Decoration day and will out
draw any fistic encoutner ever seen in
this town.
The club promoters, Johnson and
Brown for a long while held out fer
otto Floto, the Denver scribe This
on account of the general satisfaction
rendered by Floto as referee of the
recent Schreck- Willie fight.
But no one seriously objected to ST.
Ter, and using Johnson and Browns
own words, they hated to throw down
a good man and one who has proved
absolute reliability.
Now nothing remains to make the
coming venture n big success The
fight will sure be pleasing to the eye
of the fight enthusiast. as both men
are known to be willing mixers, hard
hitters and gluttons for punishment.
