made to show those engaged in the
business of messenger service have no

secure Intoxicating liquors and dis

that is what Stebbins is charged with
doing.
The case was offered to the Juvenile

Speculative Gossip.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-It was Friday and
the thirteenth and bears in grain were
afraid to sell short to any extent un-
til wheat had bulged 1 cent from, low
point of the morning. Bulls, however,
had more courage and bought freely at
more than a fractional profit. Senti-
ment was moderately bullish on all
grains There is no imitation in prices.
Wheat and coarse grains values are at
a level where they are being taken by
consumers and a little by foreigners.
The situation is healthy one all
around but with a light volume of
speculative trade fluctuations are limit

NO GLUE YET,
Cannot Find Any Trace of Hanson's
Murderer,

Minot, N. D., Dec. 14.-The cor
oners jury which has been investigat-
ing the death of Karl Hanson, who
was murdered on the 500 line right
Of way, near Kenmare. Thanksgiving
night returned a verdict yesterday.
The verdict states that Hanson
came to his death feloniously from
being struck on the head by a rail-
road fish plate welded by some per-
son or persons unknown.
The investigation has now been 60
ing on ever since the night of the muir
der but so far nothing has been dis
covered that would seem to shed any
real light on the matter.
1t was thought at first that w. c.
Casey, who was arrested at the time
was concerned in the matter but the
evidence so far introduced has failed
to show in any definite way that he
was guilty. ~

London, Oct. 31.-The Bulgarian crusaders are tonight less than 30 miles west of Constantinople-pre pared to tsrike
 Two hundred thousand Ottoman troops, their battle line of 3l miles broken, their right flank thrust back until the left wing of the enemy has almost cleared a path to the capital aleng the Black Sea. are trying to concentrate for a final stand
 The Mohammedan army seems now to be fighting for lost cause. Their right wing has been turned by the daring Bulgars' flanking movement; their left wing has Eeen backed to the sea of Marmora at Tehorlu. Their battle line is q seraggly triangular front, vulnerable at any given point What four days ago was Formidable offensive front, stretching straight be- tween the invaders and the capital. is tonight a weak defensive Wedke.
 In three days incessant iaghtina the Bulgarians have driven the Turks approximately 21 miles.
 In addition the Bulgarians have suc- ceeded in completely solating Adrian- ople though uncapturcd, and latest re- ports say it has ceased to be a posi- tion of any importance to the Turk as regards Constantinople. A garrison of 50,000 men remain in the city, sur- rounded by Bulgarians. most of whom are reservists The main Bulgarian army has opened clear field of operation in front of Constantinople and the Turks are before them, fallJ ing back The loss of life in tho fighting in the past four days is con- jected in the absence of even es- inmates from the front. Thousands were killed and more thousands were wounded, it is certain. Based on the casualties in previous battles the losses in the conflict just closed are believed to have been tremendous.
 Constantinople sends no news of advices from lNazim Pasha, comman- der of the ill-fated Turkish forces. The government up to a late hour to- day has not sought to belittle the Bulgarians or to wire confidence i'll the impregnability of Constantinople. Meanwhile the Greeks and the Ser- vians have practically conquered Western Turkey. The Greeks tonight are reported near the outskirts of Salonika where peaceful occupa- tion awaits them. Other divisions of Greek are advancing on Janin and Monastir. Advancing to join the Greeks in front of Monastir is strong Servian force. Formidable resistence is expected at Monastir and the two forces wait tonight for combined attack.
