ing stopped at the Star cafe to make a
purchase, upon coming out he placed
his foot upon the hub of the wagon
wheel in order to mount it. At that
moment the horses became frightened
and plunged forward. This threw Mr..
Johnson to the pavement violently and
a deep cash was cut In his head. He
was rendered unconscious and when

carried into the Star cafe. The in
jured man, however. soon regained
consciousness and the wound was

Fishing That Is Not Sport,

One way OF catching herring is by
driving nails into board so that they
stick out several inches. The boards
are then dragged through the shoals,
and the fish catch between the nails
and are pulled by the boardful into the
boats. In one year more than million
pounds of herring were caught at
Prince Rupert and frozen by the cold
storage plants to he sold for bait
Something like 125, 900 pounds of cod

WEATHER OBSERVATIONS
U. S. Department of Agriculture
Weather Bureau.)

The southwestern storm which has
advanced to the middle gulf coast and
an area Of relatively low pressure
which is over northwestern Iowa have
been attended by snow or rain on the
eastern Rocky mountain slope and
in the Missouri and lower Mississippi
valleys and the gulf sections. High
pressures prevail in the Rocky noun
tain region, the extreme upper Mis-
souri, valley and the lake region, with
continued cold weather everywhere
except along the gulf and south At
lantic coast. though the temperature
is somewhat higher in the upper Mis-
sissippi and extreme upper Missouri
valleys. The moderate low to the
westward will cause light snow in this
vicinity this afternoon and tonight,
followed by partly cloudy weather
Saturday No important change in
temperature is indicated.

Moore Jury Not Yet Chosen

AT O'Clock yesterday morning cir
cult court here opened, with the case
of Stoner VS.. Moore on the docket for
consideration. The tedious process of
selecting jury was the first thing to
he accomplished. OF the first panel
selected from the petit jury four were
dismissed because of various excuses.
While four others were being chosen
to fill these vacancies, a motion was
brought up by Attorneys Searle, Bur-
CESS and Berglund for the defendant.
They moved that the indictment be
quashed because of flaws in the draw
ing up of the same. They mentioned
particularly the use of the word vio-
lently instead OF the word forcibly
the latter being the word used in the
statutes regarding what shall consti-
tute the crime of rape. Attorney
Searle then cited to the court cases
in which Illinois supreme judges in
similar instances had ruled that the
two words, violently and forcibly, were
not equivalent nor SYNONYMOUS Force,
Mr.. Searle said was the word applied
by the statute pertaining to rape, as
the essential element of the crime of
rape. The motion to quash the in
dictment was denied by the court and
the work of selecting jury was con-
tinued.
The Jurors were questioned by Mr..
Searle for the defendant and Mr.. Will
son for the prosecution. At adjourn
ment last evening only four jurors had
been selected permanently. The task
Of choosing the remaining eight jury
men is being continued today.

Thomas Brock Fletcher Coming.

1t should be noted with a great deal
of pleasure that, on next Thursday
night, April 10, the Aledo opera house
will be the scene of a lecture to be
given by Thomas Brooks Fletcher. Mr..
Fletcher is better known as the "Cy-
clone Lecturer" because Of his great
oratorical ability and his ability to
drive things home to the listener.
Fletcher has spoken here previously
and will be remembered as one of the
very best ever listened TO in this city.
The subject of his lecture to be given
Thursday night is Community Dead
Heads" This should bring forth a
large crowd, who will certainly not re-
greet having heard it.

REPORT TRAILED
BY A RUSH TO BUY
Figures On Winter Crop BY Govern
ment and Confirming Shortage
RumOrs Cause Punctuation.

Chicago, April Higher prices on
wheat and a rush of buying resulted
today from the government report
confirming predictions of a big short
age in the 1916 domestic winter
crop. Profit taking, however, by spec
ulators who had purchased early led
TO a sharp temporary reaction. The
market was unusually active. Open
ing1 prices. which showed &c to SEQ
lc advance with May at 1.18$s to p
and July at 1171s to y, were followed
by substantial further gains that
were interrupted though by number
of transient breaks.
Corn rose in sympathy with wheat.
Besides, weather conditions were I'M
favorable. After opening unchanged
to 140ssc higher, the market con-
tinued to harden.
Slight upturns in the price Of oats
came about owing to the strength Of
other grains.
Weakness in the hog market de-
pressed provisions.
