CLAIM HARTMAN ROAD is
STEALING CARS.

The disagreement between the .. n.

has been hanging fire for the last six
, months. has come to sudden head
within the last few days. The recent
construction Of the Puget Sound with
in reach of the O. II. & y. has given
the Hartman road an eastern connec-
ton without the aid of the Northern
Pacific. In view of this it was rumor-
cd that an agreement would be made
with the friendly Earling line rather
than with the Northern Pacific. The
Spokesman Review. in dispatch from
Wallace tells of the recent surface

MARKET MOVEMENTS
OF THE DAY

New York, Nov. a7.-The stock mar
ket suffered today from "A recurrence
of anxiety over the antitrust law and
also from the satisfaction of con-
siderable part of the demand from the
outstanding short interest built un in
the weeks break i'm prices. The
divorce of the st. Louis x San Fran
cisco fram the Rock Island system
was accepted as a settled fact as this
course MAS attributed to fears Of pros
ecution under the antitrust law, In
spite Of assertions to the contrary
designed to counteract this influence.
The renewed break in the copper
stocks caused another of the sudden
changes of opinion over the chances
for the proposed copper merger which
have kept the stock market unsettled
all week. The selling was sufficient
ly concentrated and aggressive to give
the impression of coming from i'm
portant sources.
The organization of a bear party i'm
the speculation. with operations cen
tering in Boston was alleged as one
factor in the action of the market.
Some of the large selling was at
tributed to the wealthy capitalists of
with the great corporations immedi-
ately aimed at in the government
suits under the sherman antitrust law
This suspicion of the source Of the
selling emphasized the apprehension
over the results to follow from the
antitrust prosecutions in their largest
bearings on the general position of
corporations. Reading and the Pa
cific railroad stocks shared in the
weakness of the eoppers and deter
mined the tone of the market. The
Rock Island issues themselves were
strong.
The bank statement showed a sub
stantial loan reduction. both by the
clearing house institutions and Others
which served to offset the larger ef-

Great Falls. Nov. 2I.-Another day
of effort on the part of the sheriff's
office and the city detectives in the
Conrad grave robbery case is without
result as far as arrests are concerned,
or so far as locating the body of the
baby goes. One suspect and two or
three others who it is believed may
be implicated with. him are being
watched very closely, but so far there
is no evidence on which to make an
arrest.

to the motive of the ghouis the officers
have fallen back on the original one
that the body was taken in hope of
obtaining reward for it's return. The
