DAHL is Held
TO GRAND JURY
AT PRELIMINARY HEARING, AL
LEGGED SLAYER or THRYGvIG
FossuM, WAS HELD ON MUIR
DER CHARGE - TESTIMONY
THE SAME AS AT INQUEST.

Louis Dahl, at preliminary hear
ing, before Justice Malloy, yesterday
afternoon, was held to the grand jury
on charge of murder, the alleged
staying of Thrygviig Fossum, in sa-
loon at the south bridge Sept. 5. Dahl,
the prisoner was a very much sur
prised man when he heard the COM
plant Of the county attorney against
him and he assumed very detected
appearanoe-he did not expect so seri-
Gus a charge.
The witnesses were examined by
County Attorney Johnson and cross
examined by Attorney Dosland, tenn
porarily retained by Dahl to watch his
interests.
The testimony OF the witnesses was
practically the same as that given at
the coroners inquest and In no par
ticular were there any new or material
developments, tending to throw more
light on the unfortunate case. There
was little or no change in the direct
examination, but the cross examina-
tions Of DIR. Darrow and James Thomas
were conducted 4ittle more thor
oughly, at this hearing, by Mr.. Dosland
than was the case at the inquest.
Thomas is a very important witness
as in the main he was the only one
who witnessed the assault by Dahl
on Fossum, from the choking of the
latter in the toilet room until Fossum
was dragged out of the toilet room to
the middle of the salolon floor where
he Is alleged to have been hurled to
the floor by the defendant. Other wit
nesses only testified TO circumstances
of an ordinary nature AS a matter
of fact, there were only a few peo-
pie in the establishment at the time,
including the employees, and little at
tention was paid to the occurrence
which has resulted so seriously for the
parties directly concerned.
Replying to a question, by Mr.. Dos
land, the witness Thomas said that
his permanent home was at Wilton,
Mclean county, N. D., that he had
been there but little during the last
year or two. He had been in the
service at Fort Lincoln, near Bismarck,
but had received his discharge.
Dahl was remanded back to the
county Jail, without bail. With him
in court were two of his sisters, who
displayed considerable devotion and

Wheat Gosain.

Chicago, Sept. Assortment among
the majority of wheat operators that
the trade is confronted with a bearish
situation and that bulges are to be
short lived. They argue that we are in
the same position as the trade was a
tyear ago when Ream. Cudahy, Nat
Jones, Sid Kent and all the old time
bears made their big money by selling
wheat and other grains short and COL
F1ecttng the carrying charges. They do
not expect that prices will go down to
the level of those days. but they will
work some lower until there Is some
cash demand. The few bulls in the
trade look at the market merely from
a technical standpoint and believe that
prices are low enough.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Wheat Market.

Chicago, Sept. 14.--The wheat mar
zet opened u to " lower and was un.
der considerable selling pressure all
day, the weakness in corn contributing
to the decline. There was some in
curry here for cash wheat for milling
account, with moderate sales, and a
cargo of No. red was reported having
been worked late yesterday to go to
seaboard. The northwestern markets
were firmer relatively than our own.
We continue to feel that the long side
on weak spots is preferable.
