Fallon Eagle: Amost unfortunate
result comes from the accident at
Fallon in which two small boys
we're suffocated in a cave a short

affected by the grief thus thrust

earnestly hoped that a short treat
ment in that institution will suffice
to restore her to a normal condition

Postmaster Fred Hayes of National


Following an investigation of the
National post Office robbery" by
Inspector Means, Assistant Post

night on a charge of enlightenment.
the Humboldt Star reports, and is
said to have confessed he appropriated
post office funds to his own uses. JUS
tice Hatch bound Hayes over to ap-
tpear before United States Commits
sioner Hawkins at Winnemucca.
A week ago Hayes reported that

was that the cash drawer had been
broken into and the money taken
while Hayes was absent from the
post Office. Inspector Means went
to National and made an investi-
cation, the arrest of Hayes following.
1t is understood the post office
shortage amounts to $165. 1t is said
Hayes was custodian of private funds
and the total shortage is $500. the
amount reported to have been taken
by the imaginary robbers.
Hayes has been acting as post
master two years. having been put
in charge by Postmaster Forman
when the latter left National. For
man resigned some time ago and
Hayes remained in charge. A few
weeks ago w. E. Lemley was APP
pointed postmaster and his bonds
were forwarded to Washington, but
for some reason he has not received

WHEAT HISTORY ONE OF
JOY AND SORROW

Chicago, Feb. 15.-The ro-
nance and tragedy Of the peoples
bread-stuff in the last 80 years is
a story of fortunes made and lost;
of speculation and suicide. with
the innocent consumer always
paying the freight. Sometimes
the grower benefited, sometimes
not.
The rapid and sensational. ad-
vance in wheat prices which has
followed the war recalled to Chi
cago traders other wheat marks
in years gone by. During the
Civil war wheat at one time sold
for $2.85 in the Chicago grain
market, while on the seaboard it
could not be purchased cheaper
than So gold. The prices forced
by the war lasted until 1867.
From that time to 1883, wheat
sold above 81 every year. In the
last 20 years wheat brought
above 81 in IL years-not contin-
uously, but at times.
In 1879 the Franco-P russian
war, either by demand or specu-
lation, forced wheat to $1.61.
Three years prior to that, Sep
TENDER wheat was cornered. No
one now in the Chicago trade re-
members just who did it, but rec
ords show that this corner sent
wheat to $2.47 q bushel.
The most noted corners of the
last 80 years we're those engi-
neered by E. ]. Harper, B.. P.
Hutchinson, Joe" Letter and
James A. Patten.
Harpers corner in 1887 took
wheat to $1.16, when the corner
collapsed and sent banks and
spectators tottering. "Old
Hutch" now dead, one of the
most spectacular of the old-time
traders, engineered his corner in
1888. It sent wheat to 50 a bush
ell. There was no serious at
tempt after that to corner wheat
until 1898, when "Joe" Letter
tried. He put May wheat up to
$1.85, made millions, and then
tried to switch his corner to June
and thereby lost q sum that he
himself testified a few weeks ago
totalled $11, 600, 900. His fathers
estate, that of Levi Letter, mer-
chant prince, came to his aid and
in later years Letter recouped all
his losses-but not in the grain
pit.
The latest corner in 1909 was
engineered by James A. Patten,
Chicago trader. and Patten is be-
lieved to have cleared millions,
how many not even his brokers
ever knew. The record price in
his coup was $1.6O. For two
months after he closed his corner,
cash wheat sold higher thar the
futures.
Pstten ostensibly retired a few
years ago and lives in q palace at
Evanston, III. His gifts to col
leges, hospitals and private char
tiles total millions. The magni6-
cent gymnasium at Northwestern
University, Methodist institution
Evanston, was Patterns gift and
bears his name. While Patten is
Officially" retired, he maintains
an Office and is usually there
when there is q chen on" in the
pit and frequently takes q
"fyer," SO he calls it, involving
a mere matter of a few hundred
of thousands. Patterns friends
say that all his winnings in the
wheat pit now go to charity.

PARIS, Aug. 3.-(By mail Nor
thern France accuses southern France
of lacking courage, of possessing a
yellow streak, of talking whole lot
and doing little in the way of rlaugh-
tering Germans.
Since the very commencement Of til i,
war stories have been going the
rounds concerning the behavior of Ger
tain regiments, said regiments being
recruits in the Midi Southern Franco.
Boiled down these stories have it that
these regiments turned and fed in dis
order Immediately they found them
selves under fire, that this happen ID
more than once but that the guilty
regiments had been badly punished.
Is it true that Frenchmen from
southern France make bad soldiers?
To the neutral observer this would not
appear true for four of Frances great
est generals hail from that corner of
the country. These are General Jof-
fire, General Gallieni, General Foch,
and General Castelnau.

piled:
Always Been Blamed
I'VE are blamed for what has hap
pened in every war since wars began;
we ran but we only did what the best
soldiers in the world have done, and
would have done again under similar
circumstances.
THE war broke out suddenly. Al
most without warning We were hus-
tied out of offices, from behind
uniforms and rushed into trains. Our
trains went directly upon the battle
field and we were detrained actually
under heavy fire. We did not have
time to assemble, to get our bearings,
anything. We got off the train to be
shot down. Somebody ran. Some

running away, followed suit. 1t is a |
psychological fact that this is what |
happens always under these circum-
stances.
Would Come Back

to the rear, assembled and marched,
in orderly fashion, into the firing line.
In that way we would have had time
to look around, to see where we were,
to catch courage one from another
Wake the boldest man from heavy
sleep, in the dead of night, and let him

men who had never been under fire,
