OF the two men brought to Aledo
from Rock Island Thursday after
noon by Sheriff John p. Fleming
has been announced. Sheriff Flem-
ing was out Of the city all day yes

Rumors circulating In Aledo have
It that the two men arrested In

holdup of a gambling den in Aledo
and the subsequent shooting a
Robert Swearingen early Thursday
morning, Sept. 16. The two pris-
oners were brought here in hand
cuffs and even their names are be-
ing withheld by the authorities. It
is said that they were pals Of QUEEN
ton Sherman of this city, who had
been in Jail here for more than a
week in connection with the crime.
No one in the sheriff's office
seems to know where Sheriff Flem-
ing was yesterday and today. 1t
has been said that while in Rock

Sheriff Fleming and Tom Cox, chief
of police Of that city, were engaged
in trying to locate a third man in

1t is, thought that withd Chief Cox q

be able to run down the men who
shot Swearingen and later escaped
in an automobile.

week in forcing the wheat market

pared with a week ago, wheat this
morning was SC to lac lower. corn
of SIC to SC, oats carrying from &c
decline to A@Ac gain and pro-
visions at losses of 75c to $1.45.
Some cutting of commodity val
ues together with some uncertainty
as to financial conditions had shak-
en- the confidence of wheat bulls,
and it soon became evident that the
market was unable to Withstand
continued announcement of large
imports from Canada for domestic
millers. The fact that on the re-
sulting decline export business of
large volume took place in the Unit
ed States failed to act as a counter
