as the bears were in full control and
were eager sellers while the buying
was close and cautious. While the

tiOnS was reported mainly Canadian
grain, the demand sterling market,
which was down to $4.64. favored the
Canadian grain and a preference will
be given Canadian wheat by Great
Britain. The decentralization in foreign
exchange rates again reflected the un-
settled financial conditions abroad
and was a bearish factor in the grain
markets here. Farmers were more
willing to sell their wheat, and sales
by producers were much larger
All records for grain receipts at
Chicago this year were broken Mon
day with 1858 cars of which 1868
cars were wheat. There is a likelihood
of there being enough wheat now pre-
pared for shipment and in trOnsit to
more than fill all waiting positions.

calIy secured and i'm addition to this

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

The hve-part photoplay Sunday"
based upon Thomas Backwards sue
cessful stage play OF the same name,
is the attraction at the Auditorium
today.
RENE Davies is the star Of the film
which is the second George w. Led
erer fImotion. Sunday is a more
powerful offering-it grips and holds;
il excites and interests 1t has punch;
it is well produced; it will be popular
with movie fans everywhere and any
where. Ii is beautifully photographed;
the sets and scenes are lovely 10 look
at. And il is well acted by a strong
cast-Reine Davies, Montagu Love w.
II. Tooker. and many others are at
their best in the working out OF the
story.
And such a story. Full of heart in
terest well sustained Sunday is an
orphan girl, brought up as a boy by
four g-hearted lumberjacks. She
is the pride of their lives. When she
goes away 70 be educated 1t almost
breaks their hearts.
Sundays adventures carry the film.
She has a false lover and one of the
boys shoot him. She goes TO Europe
and attracts the love of another man,
who is the brother of the murdered
LOthario. She herself is attacked by
jealous rival, but by a fortunate &C
cident, she escapes. The picture ends
pleasantly, not, however. before there
has been a continuous series of Won
derful thrills; adventures; love feuds
and strife; and all the other incidents
of a breezy. romantic drama of log
ging camp life. with a dash of Eng
lish aristocratic life thrown in by way
of contrast

some suggestions were made. which
II adopted will make for safer
town. lie said
II find conditions not as good as
they might be. Alleys and inside con
ditions found unsafe from a FIRE pre-
yentiOn standpoint. This Is caused by
reason Of the custom Of the city coun-
ell TO have the rubbish hauled out
once or twice each week when In fact
II ought to be burned every day or
hauled out OF town. Once or twice a
week is not sufficient from a FIRE pre-
yentlon standpoint. II the city coun-
ell would adopt an ordinance requlr-
Inc trash and rubbish to be burned
every day, using a metal can. It
would result In cleaner and safer
conditions, These cans should be
built five feet high, perforated at the
base, using screen wire over the
top. Paper could be burned therein
in windy weather as safely as in calm
weather These cans can be made for
cost Of four or five dollars and will
last two years. Two or three business
concerns could use the same cans. ="

PIONEER CITIZEN
SHOT TO DEATH
PROSPEROUS FARMER AT DUNN
KILLED-DUTCH JORDAN
HELD FOR PATRICIDE

The community about Dunn and
practically the entire county Is pro
foundly shocked this week because OF
the tragic death OF Mr. ]. d. Jordan,
n substantial farmer who has resided
for many years in scurry county and
has enjoyed the esteem aud conf
dence Of large circle OF acqualn
tances. lie was recognized as law
abiding. industrious, frugal, honest,
patriotic citizen. He was a pioneer
settler and has contributed Of his
means. his energies and his counsel
and cooperation in the development
Of this western country.
When the news OF his death came
over the telephone from Dunn last
Monday his many friends in Snyder
we're anxious to learn more about II.
Then came a phone call for the sher-
IN to come at once. Sheriff Merrell
was out OF town and Deputy Sheriff
Sam Casstevens left at once to an
swer the call
Nothing definite was known until
late In the afternoon when the oifl-
Ger returned with Dutch Jordan, "a
years old and Bill Jordan, about 2l
years old. sons Of the dead man and
lodged them In Jail
when the deputy sheriff got there
he found ] D. Jordan who was about
GO years old, lying dead in the yard
at the home of Dutch Jordan, about
four miles from his own home, about
twoNmiles southeast OF Dunn
Dutch met the officer and said he
guessed he had violated the law.
Bill Jordan was sitting in the dug
out in the yard overcome with grief
Justice T. c. stinson viewed the body
Of the dead man and asked the boys
who killed their father and It Is said
they both said that Dutch did IT,
II is learned that there were two
bullet wounds in the body and one
in the head. It is said that the
boys say the trouble came mp over a
business matter, but beyond these
statements the boys decline to talk,
except to say that Bin had nothing
whatever to do with IT,
J. y. Jordan owned large farm

an industrious, progressive farmer
taking much interest In farmers In

large family and was looked upon
rs one OF the best citizens Of his com
munity. The remains were buried at
Dunn Tuesday afternoon.
Justice stlnson was In town Tues
day with the papers drawn in connec-
tlon with the Inquest and It appear
ing that Bill Jordan Is innocent Of
any connection with the case, more
than being an involuntary witness
to the awful tragedy has been given
absolute liberty. No date has been set
for an examining trial OF Dutch.
