PRAISE FOR FoRoEY.
Able Management Of County Cam.
paIgn for Independents Is the
Subject Of Much Comment.

Thomas B. Forgey, who success
fully managed the independent legis-
lative fight in this county and also
directed the work of the Padgett and
Hooper forces, is receiving large
measure Of praise from the folks
hereabouts today. On every hand the
astute young politician is being con-
graduated. His fight in the ninth dis
trict was especially creditable. In
this he was ably assisted by Cord D.
Parks and John Fraser, Jake Harlan,
John Loftin and a number of other
equally as earnest workers.

David Fahlberg, the Clay county farmer
who nfysterieusiy disappeared from his
farm home on the night of January 2.
flee from the state because Of his love
affair?
This is a question which many people
who do not believe In the murder theory
are now asking. This theory gained
strength when II was discovered that
Fahlberg's new overcoat. new suit Of
clothes and new shoes were missing. F,ahl-
berg was to have been married to Miss
Emily Anderson, the daughter Of a we'll
known farmer Wing near Beresford. on
last Wednesday.
Many other persons still cling to the
theory that Fahlberg was murdered by
horse thieves. whom he surprised In his
barn. or that he was wounded by the
thieves, wandered off and persisted In the
snow.
The Fahlberss own a large amount Of
valuable property and David would re-
ceive his share when the estate Is d.

new YORK STOCK MARKET
Leading Speculative Issues Under
Pressure During Day.
UNION PACIFIC AGAIN ATTACKED
December Statement Of Earnings
Awaited with Additional In

Against stock.

NEW YORK. Jan 1.-the leading
speculative stocks were under pressure
today and prices fell
Union Pacific was once more the Ger
ter OF the bear attack and its recovery
OF Yesterday was cancelled by a two
point decline.
The movement Ia this stock was Of
the battling nature which has attracted
so much attention during the last few
days. As the price gave way the sup
ply seemed TO increase and the manipu-
lation was conducted In such way
that traders were unable to discover
the source OF the selling.
Various reports concerning the diVi-
dend policy of the company were heard,
but they lacked authenticity and at
tracted no serious attention. Owing TO
the pressure against the stock, the
December statement OF earnings y
awaited with additional Interest Read
Ing was weak at times and fell back
points. Southern Pacific 81. Paul,
Canadian Pacific and the copper and
steel shares also were under pressure.
xTheir weakness exercised a depressing
influence on the whole list
The news from washington In regard
TO the progress OF the Stanley investi-
cation was counted factor in unsettling
the market.
The vigor with which the inquiry is
being pursued was disconcerting to the
traders RGo hoped that the Unexpectedly
good statement OF the steel corporations
business In December might be used as
basis for a further advance In the
stock.
Foreign bidding for money continued.
Offers from London for funds over the
end Of the month were somewhat higher
than yesterday. some bids of ~ pei.

rate for similar loans under 3 per cent
