Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Dec. THE gossip on
wheat after the close last night
3 dwelled on the big buying by the
Bartlett. Patten house, who were
credited by the pit element wit hav-
ing bought 100000 bushels mostly
short wheat although these figures
were regarded as a little too high. The
change OF attitude of the Bartlett,
Patten house and their advising of
their friends resulted from the Argen-
tine cables announcing frost there. 1t
was evident to the closest observers of
trading in the pit that the wheat sold
was mostly by the longs who are TAX
ing profits as prices had advanced
2 cents from the low point Of Friday.
AS one big trader who knows what he
was talking about put it, The shorts
are all In, now 1t remains TO be seen
what the market will do" Traders in
should the longs try to buy back their
wheat prices will go higher. Corn
specialists said that the mapority Of
the local shorts, who thought 1t was
a cinch to sell corn short yesterday
at 81 cents, were the best buyers yes
terday at higher prices, although the
cold weather which the bulls have
looked for has materialized. The bear
leaders have not changed their posi-
ton and predicted increase receipts
as long as prices keep at this level and
the cash demand does not improve

HEAD SMASHING
ROW LAST NIGHT
HENRY REAM AND Nh. AND MRS.
JOE sEDERHoLM ENGAGE IN AN
ENCOUNTER WHICH MIGHT
HAVE RESULTED FATALLY -
ALL PARTIES FINED.

The absence Of weapons probably
averted something much more serious
than black eyes and cut face in a
drunken and disorderly brawl which
occurred last night in the block owned
by Henry Ream. The latter was a
party in the row and this morning
wore a beautiful black eye as one re-
suit of the fracas. Mixed up in the
row were Mr.. and Mrs. sederholm, well
known in Fargo police circles. who
have only recently moved from the no.
torious Shantytown district Of the lat
ter city to Moorhead.
With the aid of a bottle of whisky
and some beer, Ream and the Seder-
holms became involved in row about
1890 last night in which Mrs. Seder-
holm was a prominent factor. Tae
parties were arrested and locked up.
Mr. and Mrs Sederholm were charged
with being drunk and disorderly and
Ream was charged with beating up
Joe Sederholm to the extent that DIR.
Darrow was called to treat the wound
Inflicted by Ream.
When the stories were told to Justice
Wade in the police court. this morn
ing Sederholm was fined SIS and costs,
his wife $3.50 and costs, she being very
abusive at the lookup, and Ream was
fined $15, including costs, for his as
sault upon Sederholm. Ream, who is
not a stranger to the police court, hav-
ing several convictions to his credit
for assaults and other offenses, was
very profuse in his effort to establish
himself as an angel to the court, he
was going to appeal to the district
court and wanted appeal bonds fixed
instanter He was long on hot air and
during his fumings he was whisked off
to the county Jail to serve thirty days
in jail If he does not settle the f1ne.
Ream's house has been a source of con-
siderable trouble to che police and
Chief Malyey is determined to have u
housekeeping and it may be that more
serious charges will be made against
all of the parties. 1t Is alleged that
Ream is naturally very abusive, and has
a son who Is doing life term for MN
slaughter in Montana.
