i'm wheat in this pit, but seemed to get
the wheat without any trouble. The
delivery of $4,000 bushels on December
delivery suggested that the congestion
in that contract may not be as acute
as many have anticipated however
with no wheat coming in and small
terminal stocks, the situation favors
combining trades TO May which indi-
Gates scalping operations until the
transportation difficulties are solved.
The general wheat situation will re-
fleet most keenly the Argentine de-
veIopments. Conflicting reports cor

guessing. Broomhall says conditions
favorable and European markets were
steady to easy which indicated they
were not alarmed over the outlook but
private cables claim weather unsettled.

MAY find PARENTS
OF JIMMY BROWN
THE YOUNG scoTcHMAN TAKEN
FROM WARD COUNTY TO IN
SANE ASYLUM IS IMPRoV.
ING RAPIDLY.

Minot, N. D., Dec. Aft during one
of his lucid spells the young Scotch
man known as Jimmy Brown, who was
taken to the hospital at Jamestown
from Ward county last February was
able to give Public Administrator
Hovey the proper address of his pa
rents there is a hope that the real
identity of the young man may at last
be solved.
The case of Jimmy Brown is an ex-
ceptionally sad and pitiful one. II
would appear that right at the thresh-
hold OF brilliant career the young
man was stricken with a disease that
left him racked in body, and bereft OF
mind. During his wanderings he was
picked UP in Minot He nearly died
while in the hospital here from ty-
phoid and later on being taken to the
sanitarium at jamestown he could re-
member nothing. During the past few
months he has, however, shown lucid
spells during which he has been able
to write smatterings which NAV in
time lead to the establishments of his
identity. During Mr.. Hovey's visit to
the. asylum Tuesday Brown gave the
administrator the address of H. Brown.
Hamilton, Larkshire, Scotland, and in
timated in writing that he would like
to communicate with the person whose
address he had gi1en. Mr.. Hovey has
written a letter to Scotland. and it is
believed that word shohld, soon be
forthcoming and that the young
Scotchman's identity will be revealed.

The train was more than an hour
late and to avoid the oggling of Curl
osity- seekers, Kethman and his fam
lily were taken TO private room in a
nearby hotel. The convicted mans
wife and children were all present and
they were accompanied Ly intimate
friends and some relatives. The wife
and children were at the Jail during

lives in, Mrs. Kethman owns a farm of
$50 acres which the convicted man
decided over to her last evening.
Rev. A. T. Young Denies Story.
Rev. A. T. Young said today: There
is no foundation whatever for the
story in a Fargo morning paper, that
spent the afternoon with Frank
Kethman at the county jail, and that
was to take a prominent part in the
raising of funds to educate the mans
