MURDER THEORY
is EXPLODED
SHERIFF SWEENEY AND OF.
FfCiAlS ScoFF AT IDEA IN
NELL BOWMAN CASE.
Generally Believed. However. That
cregasvilIe Man Met His Death BY
Falling In Greek.

There Is absolutely nothing TO
indicate that Nell Bowman.
Greggsviile farmer. was murdered.
We have investigated every little
detail relative to the theory. and
ind no trace that would lead US
TO believe that he was murdered.
There Is, however. every indica-
ton that the man stumbled into
the creek and drowned while he
was drunk-Sheriff A. T. Sweeney.

completely as though the earth had
swallowed him. had been murdered. II
should give credence TO the theory
advanced that the man wandered 10

drowned. However. there are over.
taxed brains that try TO FIX his disa D.
pearance as murder
His coast was found on a post near
the creek and his hat was found along
the railroad track. His family does
not deny that the man was drinking.
and that he left the house in Greggs-

IL Is also known that he left the West
Virginia Traction car at Thompson's
station. or at Steenrcd's place. at a
time between $50 and 6 O'Clock. An
effort has been made TO find the body
In the creek. AT the time of his dis
appearance that stream was running
wild. and IL is probable that the body

'TECHNCAL|TY USED

O'bR|EN
POWER OF STATE TO BRING
CHARGES QUESTIONED By
DEFENDANT COUNSEL

Hamilton, Dec. 11.-(Special) Wv. P.
O'Brien was arraigned in the district
court at 10 o'clock. this, morning but
did not plead to the gambling charge
brought against him through direct
information filed yesterday by County
Attorney ]. D. Taylor. A motion to
quash the information was introduced
by n. c. Packer. counsel tor the de-
fendant The motion was overruled by
the court, but additional arguments
will be heard by the court at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
1t is held by Attorney Packer that
the information cannot stand accord
ing to the statutes, which prescribe
the manner in which an indictment
can be reinstated when it is once
quashed. According to the defendants
version of the matter the indictment
when once Guashed, can only be rein
stated by another grand jury called o,
by an amended Indictment. AS the in
dictment brought by the grand jur,
was declared illegal by the court, there
can be no indictment to be amended
This mornings Missoulian told of thu
quashing by the court of an indictmen
against Mr.. O'Brien. which was re-
turned by the grand jury in 1913.

INouislToRs SAT LONG AFTER
SPECIFIED TERM SHOULD
THEY HAVE HAD PAY?


Hamilton, Dec. 11.-(Special.)- DE
velopments in the district court yes
terday have aroused considerable
speculation over the work of the grand
jury called during the summer of 1918.
AS was stated in this mornings Mis-
soulian. the jury was called for a spe-
cific term Of the court, hut continued
their deliberations about six weeks
after it expired. The indictment
charging w. p. O'Brien with gambling,
was quashed yesterday by Judge Nc
Culloch, on the grounds that it was
returned after the authority of the
jury had expired.
This ruling has raised several ques-
tions in the minds of Hamilton citi-
zens. AS the jury did most Of its work
following the expiration Of its author
ity. it is argued that it accomplished
nothing legally that it ceased to be a
grand jury after the term for which it
was called had expired. If this is true
were the members of the jury entitled
to remuneration for their services, is
question that has been raised today.
One attorney of the city today ex-
pressed his opinion in the negative.
While the status OF the O'Brien case
is being determined by the court indi-
viduals are busy specuhting on other
questions which have arisen out Of the
case.

TRADE CONDITIONS
ARE IMPROVED
SAYS REVIEW
DuN's SEES HOPE OF GOOD
TIMES - CORNER TURNED
IN DEPRESSION

New York., Dec. 11.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
THAT there is improvement in trade
is made clear in the reports from all
parts of the country, though the de-
velopment is slow and irregular and
the gains already gained inspire in
further expansion OF the new year. The
prevailing optimism is strengthened
by easier money and the notable i'm
provement in the financial position,
also the fact that while the present
volume of business is much less than
last year, the corner has been turned
and the trend is now for better con-
ditions
Bank exchanges for the week were
s2,377,122.150 against $2.769,7T2,724 in
the same week last year. Failures in
the United States this week aggre-
gated 261. against 240 last year; in
Canada 240. against rs last year.

STOCKS AND BONDS
SHOW GREATER
F|RMNESS
PART DIVIDENDS PLAY SEEN
IN QUESTIONS - COPPER
METAL ADVANCES

New York, Dec. 11.-Stocks and
because of the proximity of the re-
opening of the stock exchange for open
dealing in stocks. Some shares We're
mp / to points and several of the
more active bond and stock issues
manifested corresponding strength, the
at their top figures.
The evident success of two new bond
issues aggregating s65000, 600 afforded
the first real test of the market for
new issues since the middle of the
year.
Part Dividends Play.
The list of minimum prices issued
by the exchange today for open trad
ing was interesting in that it showed
that allowance is to be made for divi-
lends declared on listed stocks during
the past four months For instance.
Reading, which closed at 140 in July
and sold up to 1923, today was quoted
at 1885, the parity of its July price plus
two dividends of 2 per cent. This same
ruling applied to other dividend issues.
The number of SIS or lower priced
stocks, which are to be offered without
restriction tomorrow and thereafter
includes some three score railway and
industrial issues. Preparations to meet
the new order of business We're COM
nleted today.
Copper Advances Again.

better demand, constituted the chief
feature.

THEFT OF LETTERS
WITH CHECKS
CHARGED
TONY HALAcHIFF is SAID TO
HAVE HELPED HIMSELF TO 4
TWO CHECKS

Hamilton, Dec. 11.-(Special.) AS
sistant United States District Attorney
Frank Woody and United States Mar
shall Pound were in Hamilton today to
attend the trial of Tony Halachiff,l
who is charged with appropriating
letters containing checks belonging to
two of Halachiff's countrynen. The
hearing was held before United States
Commissioner j. e. Shoudy in the Of
flee of County Attorney J. D. Taylor.
The evidence showed that the
checks were mailed from. oa.nneapolis
by c. L. Hoffman, and that the letters
were taken from the postoffice box by
Halachiff. who was arrested at Mis-
soula with them on his person.
The parties to whom the checks be-
longed testified today that Halachiff
had been authorized to look IN the box
and notify one of the men when the
letters arrived, but that he had never
been authorized to take mail from the
box. One of the men got off the train
at Hamilton as Halachiff was boarding
the train for Missoula. but that Hala-
ch1ff did not offer to turn over the
checks or mention the fact that he had
them in his possession.
The hearing was concluded late this
afternoon when the defendant was
bound over to the Federal court. He
was released on furnishing bonds OF
$500. He will be tried at Missoula
during February.

ALL PREPARED FOR
EXCHANGES OPENING

New York. Dec. 11.--After III busi-
ness days of involuntary inactivity.
imposed by the European war, which
caused a suspension of regular deal
ings in all the leading financial mar
kets OF the world, the New York stock
exchange will reopen tomorrow for
limited dealings in stocks.
All preparations to meet the new
situation were perfected, including the
employment of many clerks and
messengers. who had been without
work during the long period of idle
ness.
The Abbreviated List.
To prevent prearranged liquidation
from foreign or other important
sources open stock dealings will be
/ limited TO lS2 railway, industrial, util-
/ ity and mining shares out of the total
of about ESQ listed on the exchange.
! This abbreviated list will include some
I three score stocks Of various kinds
selling at or under SIS, on which no
restrictions of any kind will be i'm
posed. All other stocks will have to
be bought strictly for cash or in a
regular way. which is expected to put
a check on speculative or marginal
operations.
Among the stocks that will not ap-
pear on the open list and which will
4 continue to be bought or sold in 4
semipriyate manner, are number of
the so-called internationals. including
Union Pacific. Southern Pacific, Cana
dian Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio,
New York Central. Illinois Central
United States Steel and Anaconda
Copper The principal reason is that
these stocks are held largely abroad
Canadian Pacific and Baltimore &
Ohio especially being favortcs of the
Berlin market.
Conditions Improved.
That the condition of the interna
tional list as a whole has improved ap.
preciahly is shown, however, in thu
latest list OF minimum prices quoted
by the exchange. These are on thu
basis of July 80 quotations, but in
number of important instances, actua
sales made today were from . to
points above that level.

MERCURY DROPPING
So WHEAT IS
RISING
COLD IN WINTER GRAIN BELT
HAS INEVITABLE EFFECT
ON TRADE

Chicago, Dec. 11.-NTisgiyings about
the winter wheat crop belt tended to
make the price of wheat today rule
higher. There was n good deal of
selling on the bulge, however, and the
market closed easy at a shade to 4 c
above last night
Corn finished unchanged to a 10Th
up, oats unchanged to Il a sc advance
and provisions dearer by shade to Sc
Chilly in Kansas.
Extreme low temperatures in the
west and southwest, especially Kansas,
led to active buying of wheat at the
outset. Smallness of receipts north
west appeared also to give an adj
vantage to the bulls and so did reports
of unusual Inquiries for grain from
Italy, Greece and Sweden.
Corn averaged little higher, on
prospect of sharper feeding, owing to
winter weather.
Oats hardened with other grain.
Larger arrivals of hogs than eX-
pected naQ only brief lnfluence on
