ber OF the men began to josh Keith

himself to be thrown by a little man
like DR. Egge, and bystander states
that Kethman was considerably work

the idea prevails that Kethman brood

ported that there had been more or
less trouble between the two men over

DR.. Thrond s. Egge had been a res
ident OF Moorhead upward OF fifteen
years, most industrious in his pro-
fession and highly esteemed among all
classes. He was 80 years OF age and
is survived by a wife and two small
sons. tine youngest about years OF
age. He was very active in the fra
ternities OF the A. o. u. w. and the
Modern Woodmen Of America.
The Bereaved Wife.
Mrs. Egge was prostrated last night
when the news of the dreadful death
of her husband had been broken to
her, but this morning che was re-
ported to be much more composed and
was resting as easy as could be ex-
pected She is left with two sons, one
about IL years OF age and the other
about years. They have been bereft
OF the kindest and most considerate
of fathers and they have the sincerest
OF sympathy of their many friends
and neighbors, and kind ones are
contributing all the comfort and as
sistance possible.
Mrs. Egge, as well as Miss Wright,
saw a man who is believed to have
been Kethman, prowling about her

Egges and Wrights not living very
far apart. When q street car came

say something more definite about

stock Market.

New York, Sept THE serious
condition Of Mr.. Hartman caused o
drastic break in his stocks and sym
pathetic declines in the general mar
ket. While the liquidation was not
very heavy, there was no special ef-
fort to check the decline on the part
OF the bull forces. With the with
drawal Of active support and no par
ticular incentive to be guided by the
seadping operations predominated
most OF the session. The failure of the
market to show better rallying pow
er after such quick decline had a
tendency to increase short selling
among room traders. The immediate
course of prices depend largely on the
