which he had purchased in
Strasburg but a short time
previously and was bringing
back to the farm were found
strewn about in the vicinity
of the car.
How the accident occurred, who
is guilty, or how long he had been
lying there dead before he was dis
covered by a passing car was a mys-
terry today to his father-in-law, An
ton Senger. who was in Bismarck at
the bedside of his wife who under
went an operation for gallstones at
a local hospital this morning. One
of Mr.. Senger's children brought
him word this morning Of the acci-
dent, and he left early this after
noon for Strasburg, after receiving
assurance that his wife was pro-
crossing favorably. She was not ap-
prised Of the death of her son-in-
law.
Passersby who discovered the dead
body lying in heap said he looked
as If his back and neck had been
broken. Both left hand wheels Of
the car. were broken. and the motor
of the car was stopped.
The dead man leaves a wife, Mrs.
Barbara Rohrich, and four children.

HUSBAND IN
MURDER
Body Of Girl Found Slain
Positively Identified
BY Relatives
(By The Associated Press)

Gary, Ind, May 5.-Burial of the
burned and manned body of girl
found more than a week ago near
here and identified as Mrs. Josephine
Desidario, confined police efforts to
solve the mystery of her death to
the search for her husband, Louis.
Authorities abandoned plans to
keep the body for several more days
after Mr.. and Mrs. Bernard Genaro,
her parents, claimed it last night,
when identification was believed
clinched. The parents at once ar
ranged for the burial today. Search
for Louis Desidario, the police said,
was based chiefly on the testimony
of Miss Florence Boto Kish, who
added her recognition Of the body
to that Of her parents and Sam Ross,
who said he had lived with the girl.
Miss kish said that on the night
that Mrs. Desidario was killed her
husband quarreled violently with
her and threatened to kill her. De-
sidario is under $4,000 bond for an
alleged attempt to shoot his wife six
weeks ago.

LIN to 1.71s. Corn scored IL to &c
gain and oats l to 22@2sc. In pro-
visions the outcome ranged from Toe
loss to lie advance.
Wheat fluctuations today carried the
May delivery down to within &c of 81.
tut the ensuing upturns lifted that
month to only 1c under yesterdays
that the Canadian government might
interfere if advances at Winnipeg be-
came excessive were current here ST.
simultaneously with news that the Win
nipeg market had weakened. Suisse
-Quent purchasing here was led by
houses that sold out large quantities
of wheat earlier. Opinions that Eu-
rope would sooner or later follow adj
vances in American markets helped to
stimulate fresh speculative invest
ment.
Taken as whole. wheat buying on
the part Of the general public showed
little signs of slackening from the re-
cent big advance. although 1t was evil
dent that the total purchases today
would fail to reach yesterdays aggre-
gate. 111,S25,000 bushels, as amount
never equalled before in Chicago. SO
far as official records disclose.
Corn and oats. on the other hand,
showed an increase of activity today.
Buying of oats in particular was of
tremendous volume and lifted oats
prices to the highest level in some
time. Likelihood of liberal export
business in oats appeared to be chiefly
responsible for the upward swing of
oats and corn.
Provisions advanced on account of
government figures showing 10000. 900
fewer holdings than a year ago. The
advance, however, was offset partly
by packers selling.
