with assault and battery.
The arrest was the culmination Of
a very clever piece CT detective work
on the part Of the officers, as their
search for the man wh0 fred the
shot was made difficult b. reason Of
the fact that many pistol shots were
fired in that neighbochood at mid
night.
Going TO the home Of the injured
man the officers took a piece OF
string. which they ran through the
hole In the window where the bullet
entered. carrying the string to a par

by sighting along the string. got the
location from which the bullet was
fired. then started on tho ;rail
Going 10 the lome of Przybyla
they learned that he had been cele-
brating by firing his sons service
revolver in his back yard. He told
the detectives that his son. John
Przybyla, a soldier at Fort Howard,
Nd, came home for the holidays on
a furlough, bringing his revolver
with him. The son fired several
shots in the air and then handed the
weapon to his father. The elder
Przybyla, not accustomed to the
handling Of such weapons did not
point the revolver upward as had
his son and firing two shots struck
KOwalsky.
Mr. Przybyla was unaware that
he had shot anyone until the officers
called at his home this morning. He
made no attempt to conceal the
fact that he had fred a shot, and
gave as his only excuse that he was
Ignorant OF the fact that the weapon
would carry so far.
Mr.. Kowalsky was hurried to the
hospital in the police ambulance
and there his married son Joined
him. The ION aiid his father
was sitting at the window listening
TO the bells, the blowing Of whistles

l WHEAT DROPS ON
 CORN ESTIMATE

CHICAGO. Nov. 9.-Government estimates touching the available sup ply of corn had a depressing effect today on the price of wheat as well as of corn Wheat closed weak. 4 to lsc net lower, December. $1.05 Is @s1.05h and May $1.10A d $l1O$s.-
 Corn finished 1c ,to 15sc down, oats unchanged to $s O 1ac off and provisions varying from Sc decline to BOG advance.
 With 35OOO, 900 bushels more corn in sight that at last time year big rush to sell corn took place as soon as the market opened. Wheat dealings were of relatively small proportions. and the weakness of corn was so pro- nounced that any immediate upturn in wheat values was out of the ques- ton, even if war-like news from Ger many could have been regarded dull lish As a matter of fact, the details of military strife and Of apparent failure to bring about a reparations conference were generally viewed as disconcerting to friends of higher prices for wheat.
 Breaks in foreign exchange rates tended to make expert business in wheat still more difficult than has been the rule of late and fresh sinking spell in the wheat market here just before the close was ascribed partly to this circumstances. Buying power with the days volume was of insufficient value to absorb the offerings the bulk of which came chiefly from holders who had pur- chased on yesterdays declines.
 Corn tumbled rapidly in price al the opening. but commission houses switched to the buying side and sub stantial rallies ensued. However, the demand from purchases failed to hold out until the finish and the final quotations were at about the days lowest level, notwithstanding that receipts were expected to continue small for at lease considerable time. Oats eased down with corn and wheat
 Provisions were governed mainly by the action of the hog market Lard touched new high points for the sea- son.

MIXED SENTIMENT
 ON BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Bond traders recorded mixed sentiments in today's market. foreign government issues falling lower on overseas news, rail- roads declining slightly and indus trial and public utility liens improV- ing moderately
 The sharp break in foreign eX- changes early today influenced a considerable selling movement by holders of French, Belgian and Scan dinavian bonds, but in q few in stances later recoVeries resulted in fractional gains on the day.
 Specialties on railroad mortgages reported some discrimination buying of issues of both the high grade in vestment mortgages and the moro speculative classes, but generally both kinds receded slightly.
 Bonds of the rubber, copper and leather companies were in demand throughout the day, while the sugars and some of the oils fell off in six able offerings.
 The market for active United States Liberty bonds was little af- fected by the days news, closing prices being near the final levels of yeSterday.

CURB HOLDS ON
 TO FIRM TONE

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Constructive forces at work in the curb market succeeded in maintaining their recent advantage in today's trading although they were forced to contend with a fairly large volume of realizing sales and short selling, particularly in the oil shares. Prairie Oil and Gas. which initiated the recent cut in midcon- tinent prices. dropped Az points and South Pennsylvania oil ?, but the turnover was relatively small in each case. Southern States Oil, the leader in point of activity. closed fraction ally higher, but gains of a point or more were registered by Standard Oils of Kentucky and Ohio. Imperial of Canada and Humble.
 Durant Motors advanced one point to 3l on the announcement of higher car prices for next year but was unable to maintain the gain. Rec and Stutz motors improved fractionally. Gillette Safety Razor gained point but Glen Alden Coal and Park and 'Tnford yielded slightly on profit taking.
