CHAPTER XII

The 5hootlng-Match at Bogps'.
The judges faith in the reasonable
ness Of mankind having received a
staggering blow. there began a some

They kept to little frequented byways,
and usually It was the early hours OF

moons, when they took the road.
A certain hot afternoon brought
them into the shaded main street OF
a struggling village. Near the door Of
tho principal building, frame tavern,
a man was seated, with his feet on
the HORSEBACK. There was no other
sign Of human occupancy.

Judge, hating before this solitary in.

the Judge, cooking his head on one

there, he glanced curlously at the
shabby wayfarers.

THI WOOL r

Boston, June s.-The commercial
bulletin says of the wool market to-
day:
There has been a considerable
amount of wool contracted in Mon
tana during the past week. Prob
ably not less than eight million
pounds have been taken in that state
already. or a third of the clip. The
top price paid for these woods thus
far is twenty cents. There has beer
a good deal of wool also taken at
other western points which show
clean landed costs in Boston consid-
erably higher than the market pre-
vailing here at the moment and can
only mean an advance in dealers ask
ing prices at this point.
The goods markets is on a firm ba-
sis and opening of light weights at an
advance OF five to ten per cent was
not unexpected indeed, it is predicted
that a further advance is o unlike
~ on O of the high price of
raw material.
The shipments of wool from Boston
from January 1 to June 6 inclusive.
We're 122,553.427 pounds against 3d.
467,769 pounds for the same period
last year. The receipts from Jam

fated Titanic. The lady is Mrs. Ellen

9-year-old daughter. Another daugh-
ter. about 16 years old, went ahead

of giving her two daughters an op-
%portunity to learn English, and give

MYRON R. KENT
DIED IN PRISON
Sentence of Hanging Com
muted to Life at the
Last Hour.

Bismarck, n. D.. June s..
Myron r.. Kent, serving a life SEN
tence in the state p~enitentiary for
murder. died Thursday. The remains
are being held in the city pending
word from Minnesota.
Kent was from Mandan. but the jury
in h Morton county court disagreed
ty. where he was found guilty. He
was sent to the prison Aug. 81, 1896.
kent's case was one of the most
noted in the western part of the state
His name was in reality William Wi
ley PancoaSt. n he was an account
ant n attorney. He was accused by
an accomplice of hiring the latter to
kill his wife and this was the basis
of the charge against him.
Kent came from Il prominent family
in Ohio and was a college graduate.
His motive for desiring the death of
his Wife was never learned.
Brief History of Case.
He was convicted in Fargo and sem
fenced to be hanged. o. G. Barnes
was then sheriff, had a gallows con-
structed and invitations had beer
nesses to the execution. The ropes
had been tested, the moose tied and all
preparations for the hanging COM
pleted.
Kent was reprieved at almost the
last hour and sen to the state prison
for life.
Swidensky, his alleged accomplice,
the man who actually shot Mrs. Kent.
died some years ago of tuberculosis
at the state pen, where he was serv-
ing a life sentence.
There are many people in Fargo
who never believed Kent guilty-but
they We're never able to explain why
he fled the country after his wife's
death. 1t was always contended that
had Kent remained at home he would
not have been convicted of completely
in the crime. There was never any
motive for the death of his wife. Their
life had been Il happy one and there
was no apparent cause for the crime.
Kent was engaged in farming ami
in the real estate business at Mandan
at the time of the crime and when
captured was working ON Il section
crew in Nebraska.
h relatives of Mrs. Kent lived in
Minneapolis inc they were relentless
in their prosecution of Kent for the
death of his wife.
For some years Kent had been
penitentiary librarian.

TROUBLE AHEAD
IN OLD COUNTRY
Germany's Market May
Have to Undergo Dras-
tic Liquidation.

New York. June S-The local stock
market was governed to Il very con-
siderable extern by the foreign sit
uatton.
Bankers here, whose intimate re-
lations with affairs abroad entitle
their views to more ordinary respect,
are of the opinion IA Germany'S
market may have to undergo drastic
liquidation and some temporary m
barrassment before business condi-
tions in that country again can be-
come altogether normal. German
financial interests continue to nego-
tiate here for loans as we'll as in
London and Paris.
Other foreign conditions, including
1taly's pressing financial needs. the
riots in Belgium and recurrent labor
troubles in London and the provinces
are being taken into account. and
situation may be regarded as ONE
thing of a factor. Very recent do
mestic political developments We're
received with apparent Indifference
but it may be assumed hat Wall
street is making more than the is
tomary preparations to neutraliZe any
alarm which may result from h out
come of the national conventions.
Among the few news items of direct
market interest was the May report
of the Copper Producers association.
which showed a large decrease in the
supply of the metal on hand. This
mainly was due to the increased de-
mand at home and abroad. especially
the latter. as production in May was
somewhat in excess of the preceding
month.
Copper shares We're steady to
strong in the early dealigings but
fell off later in common with the
balance of the active list.
AS for steel trade conditions one OF
the largest of the independent mills
announced an advance in n of its
specialties and activity at other mill
centers continues unabated.
The stock market as a whole was
irregular throughout the session with
prices at lowest level in the last hour.
The only marked exceptions to the
general apathy of the list was in the
tobacco stocks. American snuff add
ing 16 - points to yesterdays gain
of ten. American beet sugar also
was active at higher prices.
Time mone worked towards
greater ease today, the rate for nine
ty days being approximately the
same as for two months, namely 8
per ent Demand for commercial
paper is on the increase with Il re-
duction to 3 IL per cent for prime
quality, Local banks should gain
from s4.00O,000 to 100000 on the
week but the loan o is a mat
ter of conjecture by reason of the
growing inquiry to meet month end
requirements.
