Cash Wheat Takes Tumble
Of Twenty Cents in Omaha

The decline in cash wheat prices
yesterday was as sensational as the ad-
vance OF several weeks ago. This
cereal dropped 20 cents bushel from
the high mark of Monday, selling at
$2.4S@26l. Receipts were fourteen
carloads.
The wheat market was quiet. Hold
ers were not inclined to let go at the
prices offered. The decline is due to
two causes, it is said. Reports from
the south indicates a bumper wheat
crop in Oklahoma, southern Kansas
and in the irrigated district. 1t also
is said that the possibility OF the
government exercising control over
the food supplies Of the country Is
having a bearish effect on the mar
ket.
Corn receipts were fair, seventy
three carloads. Prices were M@H
of cent off, the cereal selling at
$l64N@l.o5 a bushel.
There were eighteen carloads OF
oats on the market, but no sales were
made.

Omaha Couple Goes to Kansas
City for Wedding Ceremony

Miss Vivienne A. Klein, daughter

fifth avenue, were married Saturday
at Kansas City.

dicament of their iron friends and
deliberately charged the enemy ar
tinery with rifles and hand grenades-
All the guns were captured and their
crews killed.
A similar incident occurred at
Premy ChappeIle, northwest of Mar
Going, where three guns were storm
ed and their crews annihilated. Some
of the most spectacular work OF TINS
nature fell to the cavalry. The
mounted troops got into MARCHING and
Masnieres last night and in the latter
town engaged in sanguinary battle
with German infantry. An enemy
battery here was giving trouble and
squad of horsemen charged the posi-
ton, shooting or sabreing the entire
gun crew. Another battery at Ru-
milly was taken in similar fashion.
Graincourt was carried by storm, cav
airy tanks and infantry working to-
gether. British forces at the latest
reports have carried their line in this
section northward to the Bapaume-
Cambria road. The Germans ran from
Ribecourt with the British close at
their heels. This town is a mass of
ruins, partly on account of shell fire
and partly from lack of repairs. The
German dugouts were left intact.
Gain Crossing of Canal.
The occupation of Marcoing and
Masnieres was a great stroke for the
BRUSH, as II gave tnem much needed
crossings for the Escault river and
canal, which formed a natural barrier
to the advance from this direction.
Cavalry. infantry and tanks were
poured Immediately across these pas
sages and proceeded to work north
ward. Military necessity precluded
the mention of cavalry in the first
dispatches regarding the present Of
fensive, but it may now be said that
the mounted men went into action at
1870 o'clock yesterday (Tuesday)
morning after the tanks had opened
the way thru the barbed wire. This
was one of the features of the battle
in which General Pershing appeared
to take deep interest while he was at
the front yesterday 1t has been a
wonderful two days for the horsemen
who had been relegated to rear areas
of the western front, with few excep-
tons. since early in the war. Thou
sands of them have been operating
over wide area beyond the linden
burg line.

DIDN'T TIE HIS BULL
As Result Wakarusa Neighborhood
Row Is Aired Before Attorney.

Bufrod Clark, a farmer living on
Rural Route 81, out of Wakarusa,
owns a bull. w. r. Kneale lives on
a neighbornig farm and owns a herd
of young heifers. The bull has been
running at large over the .neighbor-
hood, Kneale told Walter CLANCY, a
deputy in the county attorneys Of
fee.
The Clark bull treated the Kneale
barbed wire fence with as much dis
dain as the ruthless, barbaric Hun
treated the peace treaties of Europe.
. Life for Kneale, he told CLANCY,
has been merely succession of
chases after the Clark bull and patch
ing up fences the bull had broken
down.
Finally, Kneale decided to remon-
strate with Clark about the actions of
his bull. He went to the Clark home
Wednesday.
Il wish you would tie up your bull. -
Kneale said.
In reply, Kneale alleges, Clark
picked up a stick and struck him in
the eye. Kneale had a badly bla ok
ened right eye when he called at the
county attorneys office today. A war
rant has been issued charging Clark
with assault and battery.

launch his first offensive-the open
ing statement in which the Chilean
girl will be denounced as a woman
whose Latin blood led her to plot 0er
husbands killing. motor to his home
and shoot him in the back. The
state may advance jealousy as the
motive. De Saulles, clubman, politi-
clan and Yale athlete, was divorced
for unfaithfulness.
Search for Firearms.
Every man unknown to the guards
was searched for weapons as he en-
tered the court room today. A close
watch was kept for cranks.
