merer prison, awaiting investigation.
The bodies of the victims were remOv-
ed to Wilson, where an inquest was
held. The murdered men were the
sons of the late John Henry Winslow,
ST., of Ogden canyon.
The Winslow brothers were last seen
alive on July by friends going to the
Fourth of July celebration. When
found on the morning Of the fifth the
bodies were SO completely burned that
recognition was impossible, and identi.
fication was effected only because in
the trousers pockets that were next to
the ground, and thus escaped burning,
were found articles known to have
been carried by the murdered men.
Bullet holes in the backs and breasts
gave evidence that the victims were
attacked from behind 1t is presumed
by those who made the investigation
that the men were shot down without
warning, their bodies dragged into the
cabin and the building set fire. The
murderer evidently chose July 4 for
the crime, as on that date most of the
ranchers We're in town celebrating.
The fact that the Winslow brothers
had made filings upon the most desir-
able land in that section of the coun-
try, and had not yet proved up on it,
Is suggested as motive for the crime.

Eight listing applications were ia
vorably acted on yesterday by the gov
ornors OF the New York Stock Exchange.
At the same time the governors voted
against the resolution not to open the
exchange on next Saturday. It is known
that there was considerable opposition
to not opening the exchange on that day,
which Is believed to be the reason for
the governors negative action. The plar
for not opening on Saturdays during
July and August has not come before
the governors officially. and yesterdays
vote has no bearing on that proposal

proved were for the following stocks,

Unwelcome recommendations had much

Missouri officially reported its crop con-
dition as IS. against SO year ago. and
II was estimated that the present season
in the State was ten TO thirty days late.
Bullish sentiment was emphasized by
predictions that arrival of supplies here
next week and during the remainder

look seemed to be due chiefly to advices
that field work required attention and
would make liberal shipments unlikely.
Only transient declines at the opening

Former Labors in August.


The railroad presidents who were

the actual operation Of their roads will
again head the operating forces on or

restoration of the railroad properties to
the corporate arrangements for operat-
ing purposes will not mean the end OF
control by the Railroad Administration,
as that body Is not scheduled to go out
