Mad Dogs at Rockwell city

With four persons in the vicinity
of Rockwell City being treated for
hydrophobia and few unaccounted
for hydrophobic dogs still roaming
at large and leaving behind them a
path of disease and destruction
among live stock to say nothing of
the dangers to human life, the cpl
demic of rabies which started sew
eral weeks ago In Calhoun county
has attained most serious proper
tions.
AS long as the situation was con-
fined to transmitting the disease to
live stock, no radical steps We're
taken for prevention. But recent
cases Of mad dogs biting human be-
ings, with danger of injecting them
with the disease, is causing general
alarm and is bringing about de-
termination on the part of public CT
ficials to wipe out the epidemic as
quickly as possible.
Several communities in the coun-
ty have already been Guaranteed
against the rabies. In those sec
tions. which include the town of
Rockwell City and few townships
in which local officials have taken
action, dogs are not permitted to
run at large. Any dogs found run
ming loose are shot without ques-
ton.

had bullish effect on the wheat mar.
ket yesterday. Prices closed firnl
lac to lac net higher with De-

$1.31 IL to S1.31 ga. Corn gained
S-S S@1-2c to SAC, and oats 1-463-Sc
to 5-Sc. In provisions the outcome
was unchanged to 30c lower.
Wheat prices began to show an up
ward tendency as soon as the market
opened and, although moderate set
backs took place at times, the finish
was at the top level of the day. Of
ferings were light at The start and this
factor encouraged buying in which a
strong commission house acted as
leader. Later, the signs of improve
ment in export demand, especially
the call for hard winter grades to be
shipped by way of the Gulf of Mexico
became the chief stimulating influ-
enee. Milling demand outlook was
said to be picking up and there was
talk that even without rejuvenatiou
of export trade some domestic mills
might find difficulty obtaining sup
plies. In this connection, it was point
ed out today, that today for the first

Higher Trend
shown On Stock Market.

NEW YORK. Sept. 24.-(A, PD-
The stock market yesterday registered
numerous substantial gains on Il large
and varied turnover. Shorts fought
the advance during the forenoon and
towards the close, final prices show
ing irregular recessions from top lev
els, The further reduction of redis-
counts at important reserve centers,
coupled with the encouraging views of
Governor Harding of the federal re-
serve board respecting financial and
trade prospects were noteworthy fac
tors in the additional strengthening of
quoted values.
The market derived its greatest inn
petus, however, from the prominence
of rails. One block of 5000 shares of
Southern Pacific changed hands at an
advance of l 3-S from yesterdays fl
nal price and kindred issues scored ex-
treme gains of to points, junior
rails following at more moderate
pace.
Industrials continued to be featured
by steels, equipments and oils with
the usual sprinkling of unclassified
specialties, including rubber, food,
leather and tobacco shares. Mexican
Petroleum steered its recent erratic
course, rising half point, reacting
points and closing at a fractional gain.
Sales were 635, 900 shares.
All call loans. including renewals,
were made at per cent, but slight
concessions We're reported on mer-
chants paper and bank acceptances
Italy again was the only important
exception to the higher trend shown
by foreign exchanges, although ster-
ling receded later.
The bond market again turned up
ward under the influence of lower dis
counts. Liberty issues led all except
8 l-2s showing strength. Rails and
some industrials also improved, but
intervals We're irregular. Total sales,
par value, aggregated $12,7OO,O 900.

case this afternoon against Mrs.
Ethel H. Mott, charged with the muir
der of her husband, George B. Mott.
The twelfth juror was seated after
recess today. Counsel examined 15S
talesmen before the jury box was
filled.
The joint indictment returned by
the grand jury, charging Mrs. Mott,
Elwood G. Wade and John E. Johns
ton with first degree murder in con-
nection with the killing Of Mott, was
read to the jury.
States Attorney Homer S. Cum
mings, said he would not make a
long statement to the jury. He point
ed out the features of the case, de-
claring that the state would claim
that Mrs. Mott was an accessory to
the murder of her husband, which,
under the Connecticut law, is first
degree offense. The state will show,
he said, that Wade committed the
murder, with the assistance and
counsel of Mrs. Mott.
Public Defender Robert De Forest,
chief counsel for the accused woman,
said that evidence would be offered
to show that Wade killed Mott with
out assistance and that Mrs. Mott had
nohing to do with the crime.
