they hope for pleasant adventures /;
they exact much from their friends

GROUND WIRE |S
 CAUSE 0F DEATH

Louis Ghiotto. an Italian teamster, was instantly killed at F o'clock noon, yesterday, when 2,300 volts from a ground wire passed through his body.
 Ghiotto's team was standing near by, and the theory of the police is that he intended tying the lumber on his wa gon with the wire which was dangling near the bottom of the pole, and eX- tending to its top. The wire was placed on the pole by the company for the purpose of carrying high currents in case the line were struck by lightning. A short circuit is believed to have oc- rurred at the top of the pole, and Ghiotto, forming the ground connection with his feet, completed the circuit when he grasped the wire.
 It is declared the voltage was as nearly right to bring instant death as that used in the electric chair, which carries approximately the same cur rent.
 Coroner Wheeler was notified and visited the scene of the tragedy. He impanneIed a jury and the inquest was held a few hours after the electrocu- tion of Ghiotto.
 The accident occurred on North Sev- enth street, one-half mile north of the Indian school road and just a short distance from where the Italian was ranching. He has at various times during his six years residence here beer in partnership with Harry Kay in land | transactions.
 | He had been dead but a few moments when his body was discovered by H. P | Dick, who notified the authorities. pr A. B. Nichols stated that death must have been instantaneous.
 The coroner's jury returned a yer. dict of accidental death caused by 6 live wire''
 The jurors were W. II. Foler. Enocf kile. W. C. Van Ness, Henry Johnson L. l.. Lee and E. Daniels. Little is known of the relatives of tn, dead man. He was A years of az, and unmarried

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.--Severe cold and predictions of more tended today to harden prices in the corn market. Latest figures were s1.275s. January, and S124fs to s1.24%, May, un- changed to Hc higher as compared with "A hours before. Oats gained 4@5s to %c. The finish in pro- visions ranged from 212 decline, to a raise of 20c-
 Traders in corn as well as in other staples needed no other reminder of cold than was brought sharply to notice by the icy temperature of the exchange hall and by the complete absence of telesraphers owing to the strict application of the government fuel orders. An improved demand from food industries helped also tc give firmness to the market, as pur- chases were resumed which had suf- | fered Interruption because of tenn porary doubt as to whether elevators and dryers were exempt from tho coal saving which had been re. | quested of business in general.
 Oats showed greater strength thar corn, owing to the extreme scanti- ness of receipts and renewed ex. port buying. Slowness of the move. ment of oats to market was partly ascribed to preference given to corn
 Provisions averaged higher, influ enced by the upward slant of quo tations on hogs and grain. Reports were also current that there wer, large orders in sight from the foot administration.
