NEW York;. Aub.. 1.-THE stock
market today had a more distinct re-
action than has occurred for many
days. The selling which carried
prices downward was as concentrated
as much of the buying which has pre-
coded 1t and which caused the supposi-
ton of the largely professional char
aecter OF the recent market. Sales
OF q single stock by one house OF as
much as 25,O0O shares were reported.
{ Selling of this kind looked as though
the heavy operators recently leaders
of the advance were the ones that
were taking their profits. Notwith-
standing the sentimental influence OF
this seeming fact the absorptive pow
ers of the market were good and the
downward movement gave every lndf
cation of being in good control. Buy
ing and bidding up Of separate STOCKS
was employed to sustain the list ana
to act as a drag on the decline.

ly Baffled.

1t now looks as II the murder case
| is to settle down to one of those un.
solved mysteries. Every effort has
been made by the police and the sher-
III to locate the bodies and If they
are hidden, they can not be found.
Just what the next step to be taken
by the police will be. is not known.
Although the officers are positive
that series Of murders has been com
mitted, there are others who feel
that the disappearing men have enter.
ed into conspiracy to suddenly leave
in order to throw suspicion Of murder
toward Bavori. Bsvori says the two
brothers were Black Hand men, and
it is doubtful if anything is too BLACK
or dastardly for the Black Hand to
do.
On the other hand it is thought by
some that the Black Hand is re-
sponsible for the disappearance of the
missing quartette and that IL Bayori
really killed the woman and three
men that he had assistance in the dis
position Of the bodies. On the other
hand. would Joseph Minichiello leave
his wife and family never to return
and not leave parting word.
The case is a very unusual one
to say the least and it is doubtful
IL anything just like this has ever
before occurred in the state and
probably in the West. It Is quite
often al easy matter to capture a
murderer after the body or bodies Of
the dead are found, and buried, but
here are four persons whose where
abouts are unknown. II they were
alive they have heard Of the publish
ed accounts Of their supposed deaths
and would undoubtedly write to their
relatives to inform them of their
present quarters. No such lett r.
have been received. II they are
dead and the bodies are hidden. the
question is. "where are they?"
The officers have developed a mum
Der Of clues and have run them to
earth. Hundreds of men and boys
have Joined in the search and the
country has been covered In the search

Bavori shack. They found nothing

HAILED OUT SOME FARMERS
District Southwest of Town Was Bad
ly Hailed Out in Some
Parts Friday Evening.

The rain that fell in this vicinity
Friday night was accompanied by a
very severe hailstorm about six miles
southwest of the city. An immense
amount of damage was done accord
ing to the reports that were brought
in Wheat and oats and other grow
ing crops were driven into the ground
by hail stones that were reported to
be as large as walnuts. Corn that
stood about a foot high is said to
have been cut to pieces and driven
into the ground. In some instances
only a portion of the crop is ruined,
and judging by the reports it took a
strip of country about three miles
wide. Among the losers were Dan
Wilson,, a man by the name of Holmes
and j. v. White. There are per-
haps a dozen altogether who were in
the hail belt.
Taking the hailstorm and the great
amount of water that is standing
all owe the farming country the sit
uation from a crop point of view is
not of the very best. However, If the
rains stops for a week or ten days
the situation will improve very much.
Many farmers report that on their
rlowland two-thirds Of it is under wa
ter. Others state that land which is
reasonably high and has never been
covered with water before is under
water at the present time. Out on
the seed farm of the Dakota I'm
proved Seed Co., just west of the city
there are places on it where the wa
ter stands five feet deep.
