The professional traders dealings.
which make up the market, are OF
kind which are CLOSED up from one
dav to another and often on the same
day, a profit Of small fraction De-
ing sufficient to Induce realization.
An immediate factor In causing the
dull tendency was the approaching
double holiday. Dull as was the mar

take on new holdings. The few points
OF special strength in today's market
had little to explain them. The rise
in the Colorado Railroad group was
in spite of repor.s Of unprecedented
snow blOckades in that region.
A rise in the London price OF cop

encouragement, to hopes OF his good

Hardin looked az the features Of his
wife a moment and wept. Recovering his
self-contrOl. he stopped and picked up
from the floor a fve-chamber 32-caliber
revolver. Three bullets had been fred
from the weapon Harbin recognized It
as the one his eldest son. Wilmer had
loaned Kramer months ago. when
Kramer visited the Harbin home as a
friend.
Wilmer had made number OF attempts
TO regain possession Of his pistol. but
Kramer put him OF on various excuses
For this reason, II IS thought. the dead
man had foreseen the reconciliation be-
tween HarbIn and his wife, or decided 10
keep the revolver IN the event he had
trouble with the wrOnged husband
News OF the tragedy spread rapidlv- in
the southeast, where Kramer and Hardin
were well known Kramer. who was a
timer. lived at 1919 Eleventh street south
east. Years ago he was a business part
ner with Harbin. who conducted q coal
and wood yard In \ street southeast.
Kramer called at the Harbin house fre-
GIently 70 see his partner, and IN this
way met Mrs. Harbin.
Separated as Partners.
Though the woman was nineteen years
his senior, Kramer fell in love with
her. and his devotion and attention
caused the men 10 give Up their bust
ness relations. Mrs. Harbin, prior TO her
marriage, was Miss Elizabeth Hammel.
and was known in the southeast as an
attractive girl She married Harbin
twenty-One years ago.
Mrs Harbin Is survived by her hus-
band and seven children. Mrs John
Gregg, twenty years old; Wilmer Har-
bin, nineteen years old; George, sixteen;
Eugene. fifteen; Ethel. fourteen; VII

Coroner J. Ramsey hewitt viewed the
bodies, and after giving the necessary
certificates, had them removed to an
