BRENT MUST STAND
TRIAL FOR SHOOTING
Woman Who Was Nearly Killed by
Her Husband Refuses to Rec
ognIze Him in Court
Room

Sanford Brent, who shot his wife on
the night of September 10, was held
to answer to the superior court on $4,000
bail in Justice Chambers court yester-
day. Mrs. Brent was present during.
the arraignment of her husband, but
did not once glance at the prisoner.
She was very weak and had to be sup
ported by friends.
The facts of the testimony given are
to the effect that the Brents conducted
small restaurant at 812 East Fifth
street and that on the night of Sep
tember 10 Brent came home intoxi-
Gated. 1t is alleged that, following a
quarrel with his wife, he followed her
into the yard, where he shot her in
the stomach. He was arrested by Pa
trolman Humphrey.

CHICAGO GRAIN

O CHICAGO. Nov. 1O.-The market held
very well in face Of rather general liquida-
tion aside from the interest which has sup
ported the market so persistently of late,
until the publication of the government
report which, bringing about a de-
cided drop in prices, had a senti-
mental influence wheat. Continental
markets were strong. but Liverpool re-
sponded feebly to our advance of Saturday.
Argentine news was encouraging as far
as crop prospects are concerned. The
Michigan crop report, showing 12 points
decline compared with a year ago is
bullish and it that we may conf
IDENTIFY expect the same result to show in
the Indiana. Illinois and Kentucky reports
when they are available
The early strength In corn give way to
extreme weakness Immediately upon the
publication of the government report, which
was a very bearsh document, indicating a
total crop of 2,642.OOO.o00 bushels which
quality is excellent. About the only bullish
part Of the document was the amount in
farmers hands-71, 700. 900, which is about
so, ,OOO,0 less than like period a year
ago II is natural to expect an increas-
ing movement from now
oats were strong and paid little atten-
tion TO weakness in corn. Barley prices
again advanced and scarcity of specula-
tive offerings in the pit with the bullish
undercurrent of sentiment, makes 1t easy
to maintain values.
