Another Forgery
Charge on Man Who
Resisted Officers

Another charge OF forgery resulted last
night against John Landers, principal IN
the five-hour stand against the police at
sol North Forty-eighth street, when w.
B. Taylor. who conducts a lunch counter
in the saloon of Peter Gravert, Identified
Landers as the man who on Tuesday
afternoon secured S. from him on a SIS
check.
Taylor says that Landers entered the
saloon at 2sl4 Cunning street and said he
was a detective looking for a sewing
machine swIndle. and displayed a gun
to add strength to his statement. Tha
gun was the same one with which Landers
terrorized the women and men with sew
eral hours later.
When LRnders was ready 10 leave he
said he was in need OF some ready cash.
and producing a check for $40 asked Tay-
lor II he couldn't give him IS on tho
check and bring the remainder OF IL up
TO the police station on the next day.
This Taylor did. and was surprised when
he called at the station today TO find
that his man was not in the employ OF
tho city. but was behind the bars
Omaha daily bee., 1914-07-24

Q
HOGs-A liberal supply showed up this
being received. The total for the four
days is 32,79O head, just about the same
as for last week, but 1000 smaller than
for the same days a year ago.
With all other markets reporting slight
slumps the local trade opened out dull
and lower, Shippers bought their kind
at prices that were generally quoted as
5ql0c lower. tops dropping to s. 30. Pack
ers started out bidding 5GQlOc lower, and
while most sellers held on for better
prices a few Of them were not willing 10
take a chance again today, and they cut
loose at these early bids, that Is, 5qlOC
lower than yesterdays packer market.
After a rather dun session during the
earlier rounds values began 10 show a
tendency 20 strengthen and the next sales
did not look over a nickel lower. Even
al this level the trade was very dun. and
as packers were taking more interest In
the trade today prices continued TO firm
uI until a good many OF the later sales
looked fully steady with yesterdays gem
eral killer market. As prices improved
trade became more active and a fair
clearance had been made by a reasonable
hour.
Taking the packer market all the way
through values can be quoted at steady
10 Sc lower although some OF the early
sales are, as was stated, 56plOc lower
The average, however, shows more than
the general decline. This is due largely
10 the fact that the best hoBs. which have
been selling 20 shippers at good. strong
prices. show the biggest decline today.
