not put up his or her screens is an
accessory before the fact: They
carry disease germs upon their
bodies, also on their feet; they are
scavengers and spread filth and

being in the room where a consump-

100000, it is said. His total
profits may be a great deal more.
Behind these cold figures of the
ticker is the dramatic story of how
men matched their wits in bril-
liant trade battle.
On one side was Patten and his
banker friends; on the other ]. Og-
den Armour and the stock yards
provision spectators.
This is how the corner was male
as cleaned from the scraps of in
formation held by various brokers':
Early last spring Patten agents
Scurried over the country, visiting
corn belt farmers and elevator men.
They got general information on
what the crop would be and to each
big farmer or elevator man they
offered options on the entire crop,
often mefore it was planted.
Then, quietly, Systematically 9TH
err agents on the exchange floor
bought corn contracts for delivery
on May 81. Armour agents are said
to have stepped right into the trap.
They went short" AMI contracted
to deliver millions of bushels OF
corn by May 81, when they did not
possess it and could not tell where
they were going to get it,
Then the pinch came. The shorts
frantically tried to get corn at any
price; for Patten, contrary to the
usual practice on the board, de-
manded actual delivery
But the visible supply" corn in
the elevators, the granaries and in
transit, was held under Patten OPP
tions.
Brokers who contracted months
ago to deliver corn in May to Pat
ten for about so cents, discovered
that they must buy it of him at
his own price or be ruined.
In one hand Patten held the sell
ing end of the market, in the other
the buying, and the shorts squel-
ing AMI kicking in between were
squeezed of their fortunes.
The farmer makes very little out
of the corner. His contract was
made months ago when corn was
cheap. But the consumer pays for
the options, the months of storage,
the cost of manipulation and what
ever else Patten may ask until
June /.
The corn that Patten controls and
which has fixed the prices the pub
lie must pay is only a small part OF
the total product of the country. All
of 1t could probably be stored In 20
elevators.
But 1t is the visible supply" II
represents all the corn not used on
the farm or in the immediate neigh
borhood. 1t even fixes the price OF
that because ii is the only corn that
can be shifted and reshipped about
the country to meet the consumers
demand.

EST BEING BUT II YEARS
OLD,

GREAT FALSS, Mont, June l.
Albert Hatch, age Is; William RAN
dali, age II; Harry Rheams, age
Is; George Creswell, age 16.
These are the bandits who held
up G. N. train a mile and half
from Great Falls Saturday night
and made the conductor pass
through the cars, collecting $3.50
for them from the passengers.
One OF them shot William Demp-
sey through the leg as he tried to
escape from the train. Hatch, the
youngest of the bunch, who planned
the robbery and put it through, is
supposed to have done the shoot
ing.
Ali four boys are in Jail here, and
all except Hatch have confessed
and told the story of the holdup.
Hatch was working as a bellboy in
hotel here, having previously
worked on the railroad. He talked
up the robbery with Creswell, but
the latter did not show up on the
night it was planned and the other
three proceeded by throwing a
switch at the stockyards and side
tracking the train.
Rheams and Randall got cold and
nervous while waiting for the train,
but Hatch kept them in the notion.
He opened fire on the locomotive
when it ran onto the siding and
Rheham fired rifle he had. Hatch
boarded the coach, leaving Randall

at the door and Rheams outside on
guard. He covered Conductor Jack
Hayes and made him go ahead col
lecting cash after telling everybody
to put their hands up and assur-
ing the women that they would not
be molested.
Getting what cash they could, the
boy bandits then came back to
town. Hatch wanted to cross the
river and finish up the night by
robbing the Helena train, and
