THE GRAIN CONTROVERSY.

There Is a peculiar situation In the
grain cont roversy. The Western
farmers have gone on strike against
declining values in the grain mar
kets. Western primary receipts have
fallen off appreciably and a slight ex-
port demand for wheat stiffened
prices somewhat and encouraged the
farmers IN their recalcitrant mood.
One Of the fundamental reasons for
declining grain values lies in the
Governments refusal to continue its
price guarantee fixed during the war
and. of course, the unprecedented crop
IL another factor. But come what
may, VIC have not yet seen the cnd
OF the duel between the grain pro-
duccr and the American consumer
public; much like the cotton grower
Western farmers are in position

timony was to the effect that his
had long objected to the attentions of
Edgar Bradley to his daughter, and
that Christmas day the young woman
had come into town with her brother
and cousin to attend moving pictures
ana aftcrward had driven home with
Bradley. Pliny reached home first,
but was putting his horse up when his
sister and Bradley arrived, he said
The first thing he saw was his father
coming out of the house after Bradley
with gun, he testified. Mr.. Outlaw
was some hundred feet from the house
when the shooting occurred, and Brad
ley 20 feet further, he declared. Pliny
stated that his fathers gun was not
loaded. Both had double barrel shot
guns. Bradley fired twice with No.
7 shot, the first shot taking effect just
above the heart and the second
through the left ear, he testified.
DR.. j. A. Mood testified that death
must have been immediate. The
daughter was in too nervous condi-
tion to testify. The sons testimony
agreed largely with the statement
made by Bradley when he came to
town, it is stated. He gave himself
up to Chief of Police Barwick, who
