by case which recently came up ia

In all the newspapers OF Detroit ex-
cept The Times.
She spent all the money she had
getting to the city In the confident
expectation that she would receive the
5000 which was cunningly offered TO
her by the puzzle piano dealer.
When she arrived, she found, as all
such victims find, that the 5000 was
to be applied on the purchase OF

is A NAVY DESERTER.
Lynn County Forger Will Be Turned
Over to Government.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug 1O.-Accord-
ing to his own confession today, Wal
ter Lee Baker, alias J. G. Gallagher,
in the refornatory for forgery, who
attempted to escape by jumping from
Monday afternoon, is twice a deserter
from L. S. S. battleship independence.
Both times he left the ship at Mare
Island across the bay from San Fran
cisco. The first time he left on shore
leave about two years ago ard was
retaken July T. 1910, at Reno, New.
Here he was attending the Jack john
son and Jeffries prize fight. He was
identified as a naval deserter and sent
back to his ship. He was restored to
duty this time. He gave as mis- ex-
cuse for his first dessrtIon that he
was doing work too dirty for any white
man.
The second time Baker deserted was
about a year ago, again at Mare Is
land.
Recently he was sentenced at Par
ker, Linn county. to the reformatOry
for forgery. En- route here he left the
train while it was moving at a rapid
speed. He says he evaded Sheriff Ire
land, who was in charge of him, by
jumning from the platform, while the
officer claims that the prisoner hand
cuffed Jumped through the window
while Ireland was taking drink
Baker viii likely be taken back to
the navy at once. A sentence of from
one TO five years and dishonorable dis
charge may await him.

tiers Includes for Town.

Atchison, Kan, Aug. 10-AII sur
gerry cases originating on the Central
Branch system and the Omaha division
of the Missouri Pacific will come to
Atchison. This will include minor
cases and cases too severe for a longer
railroad journey. Cases requiring long
courses of treatment or treatment by
specialists will go to st. Louis. Atchi-
son probably Will have an average of
twenty five cases, and they can be
cared for nicely at st. Francis hospital
Should the occasion demand it the
hospital can be enlarged, and DR.. Lilly
does not look for the company to build
a hospital here. That doesn't seem to
be the company plan; it leases hospital
quarters in Kansas City, and that hos
pital will be continued. While Atchi-
son is also to be hospital headquarters
for three states, DR.. Lilly understands
that injury cases originating on the
Hoisington main line and on the
southern Kansas lines will not be
brought through Kansas City to Atchi-
SON. that only reports of such cases
will come here. Whether Atchison is
to become the most important point
outside of St. Louis in a hospital way
will depend to considerable extent.

cific employees take to the town The
understanding is that they will still
have the privilege Of going to any COM
pany hospital they choose.

Dread of Frost in Manitoba and
Light Shipments.
FIRM TONE IN CORN.
Demand Is Much Less Active
Than for That for Wheat.
Provisions Advance on a Good
Miscellaneous Call.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-WHEAT-FIurried
by the buIlish nature of the government
crop report, wheat prices today made a
big upward jump. There was decided
urgency in the buying through commission
houses but at the advance of today sell
ing became free and the tension was in
a measure relieved. Besides the news
from Washington, other strengthening
factors were frost dread in Manitoba, ex-
pected light shipments from the Argentine
and bad weather delays to the Russian
harvest. The strike situation in England
continued to act as an influence against
the bear side.
Opening figures were 5sGAc to 11s@1Ac
higher September started at 93Hc to
9S1zc, rise of 7s@1c to 11sQ1Ac and re-
acted to 927sc.
Large exports led to rally but the eff
feet wore off under realizing sales. The
close was steady at 921ac for September,
a net gain of 1sc to Ne.
CORN-With the loss on the corn crop
last month the largest ever known that
cereal exhibited an Enthusiastically firm
tone. There was not the same element
OF surprise, however, that entered into the
government showing as to wheat. Ac-
cordingly demand was much less active.
September opened 1sQ15sc up at 651sc to
655sc and inclined to hold near the top
leven.
Hot weather southwest caused further
advance but the market eased owing to
the sag in wheat. The close was steady,
however, with september S4c net nlSneI
at 655sc.
OATS-In oats the trade was only scat
tered. Prices, however, sympathized with
the advance of other grain September
4214c, touched 42c and rallied to 4214c.
PROVISIONS-A good miscellaneous
call for provisions put that market in line
with the neighbobring pits. First sales
were the same as last night to 1712c
higher, with January delivery $3.50 to
s16.S21z for pork, sS.771s for lard and $S.45
