BURGLAR PATIENT
REPORTED BETTER
YOUTH DOING WELL AFTER
OPERATION ON BRAIN TO
REMOVE IMPULSE
TO STEAL.

Minneapolis, Aug. 5.-John Howard,
the young man who underwent a seri-
Gus operation at Asbury hospital in the
hope that the removal OF a growth on
his brain would do away with his in
termittent desire to steal, was i'm
proving early today and no bad re-
suits are expected from the operation.
Howard was arrested on a charge of
burglary. He told Judge John Day
Smith In district court that he al in
Jured ten years ago when a circus tent
blew down and a pole struak his head.
He said he believed thet the injury to
his brain caused him TO steal The
court called two surgeons and after an
examination they decided to operate,
believing the removal OF tile pressure
from an indention in the skull would
relieve him. Howard submitted gladly
to the operation, saying he would IN
dergo anything to be rid of the desire
to steal.
DR.. "A. I'll. Parks of the CITY hospital
staff and DR.. Archa E. Wilcox, a nlent-
Der of the board Of charities and cor
rection, performed the operation. They
removed a water cyst that had formed
under the dent in the skull, removed q
portion of the bone and covered the i'm
cision with a silver plate.
Howard had suffered pain from the
injury for ten years, and said last
night that he felt well a v for the
effects of the ether. He is still q ward

EVENING Grim Letter.

Chicago. Aug. 5.-Wheat: Extreme
weakness developed in wheat today,
although the decline has been slow
ana recover 1 Iai5' tH tbS one1, a oT her
cause Of wet harvest talk and
strength northwest and on light
worlds shipments. The enormous re-
ceipts at primary points and the very
poor export call for hard winter has
ultimately counted against the market.
There was some hedging here by the
southwest and some putting out of
short wheat hat had been covered at
the close Of last week. The north
west ultimately turned weak also, re-
ports of threshing showing enormous
yields and the trade there having ad-
mttted velvet chaff to the contract
grade effective Aug. Z. There was a
great deal of covering of short wheat,
Especially of December early by trad
ers OF the heavier type. Cash wheat
was very weak southwest. Exporters
estimate sales today and Saturdays Of
fers at about fifteen loads hard winter
some export business done, possibly
in new spring wheat. We look for
scalping market just now, and think
can be sold on bulges and bought on
breaks, either n both.
Corn: Was weak all day. One of
the largest local longs unloaded and
the other longs were unable to stem
the tide Of selling that finally set in.
Cash corn was weak. Sales at country
stations were larger. The southwest
had a drenching over Sunday and re-
turned merchants report the growing
crop healthy II uneve Cash markets
southwest were lower although ar
rivals there were small. Demand gen-
orally poor. Several points in Illinois
reported light frost last night or Sat
urday night. Would keep long De-
cember corn.
Oats: Have been quite heavy. There

riedly dressing again he ran across
the street to where the injured man
lay.
The men had made good their es-
cape and no clue was established at
that time. 1t was reported two men
had been seen boarding the eastbound
Northern Pacific blind baggage which
leaves the city at 1887 o'clock.
The police deny that Officer An
derson saw two masked men in front
Of the Benaidji house shortly after
the murder and let them 60 after
questioning them. Anderson saw two
men at the time mentioned but states
that they simply had handkerchiefs
tied about their necks and not around
the lower part of their faces.
The police also claim to have no
knowledge Of a story about an ex-
cited man who telephoned from the
Mint restaurant to st. Luke's hos
pital asking about the murdered
man.
Vengeance the Motive7
One of the most probable theories
of the cause Of the murder was learn
ed late yesterday afternoon. It has
been said that the murdered man was
seen in the company Of two young
women at the state fair one of the
last nights Of the exposition. A cou-
pie of fellows were said to have &C
coSted the girls and one is reported
to have made an insulting remark.
The story goes that Hanson imme-
diately took the matter up and set
tied with the two fellows who are al
legged to have said they would "get
even with him later" A night or so
later Hanson is said to have been at
tackled on one Of the downtown
streets In the business district, while
on his way home at a late hour.
Someone threw a brick or stone but
Hanson Is said to have bested his as
sailant, who again declared he would
"get even with him yet"
The two young women reported to
have been with the murdered man
at the state fair grounds are believed
to be in Aneta at the present time.
An attempt was made this morning
to establish communication with them
In order to obtain the facts and get a
! description of the men who made the
insulting remarks. il such was the
case
A similar report is going the rounds
with, the scene of the insult taking
place near the dancing pavilion in
Island park instead of at the fair
grounds. At noon today nothing def
mite had been learned from Aneta nor
had any further clue to the missing
men been established.
Body Shipped Tomorrow.
The remains Of Julius Hanson will
be shipped to Lake Park tomorrow
morning by Undertaken j, N. Gard.
The burial will take place at / o'clock
tomorrow afternoon at that place.

But Northern Pacific Paid for Loss of
Young Mans Arm.
According to a Fergus Falls paper,
Hulda Sanders. mother Of j. A. Sand
ers, a minor, has settled a case which
has been pending in the district court
of otter Tail county against the
Northern Pacific Railway Co. The
young man, who is now nearly 81 years
Of age, was crossing the N. P. track
at Casselton. N. D., about a year ago,
when a string of freight cars was
backed down upon him. He fell and
n arm was injured so that it had to
be amputated. The stipulation of
settlement set forth the fact that he
was crossing at a point where he had
no right to cross, there being no cross
ing, and that it is doubtful If the COM
pany Is liable for any damages; that
1t a offered to pay $1,000 and the
plaintiff prefers to take this sum, rath-
err than take the chance of getting
nothing.
