Robbery Motive

Although rumors suggest a motive
Of revenge or jealousy FOR the crime
police officials after sitting the
evidence carefully are working on
the theory that the motive of the
crime was robbery.
But the theory that Haag's slay-
ers were known by him was
strengthened by additional informa-
ton given police by Miss Murphy.
Miss Murphy told detectives Tues
day night that Haag smiled and hest
tated before replying to the bandits
demand for his ring. indicating he
recognized the men. After the pause
she said he replied: You can't bully
me: go ahead and shoot"
Friends said Haag had often de-
clared hold-up men would never
take the ring from him and pointed
out he was the type man who would
resist the hold-up attempt.

Hog Price Range

Trading was done over the follow
ing range Of values: Heavyweight
hogs brought $13.9Olb14.35; mediums
were S14.50614.65; lights and light
lights commanded price OF $14.15;
pigs cashed at S14.75 ais; smooth
hacking sows were steady at $13@
1850: rough packing sows moved at
s12.50013; and stays were $l013.
The cattle market was steady
with prices quoted at the close Of
the Tuesday trading period. Re
ceipts were estimated at 1900
bovines, but the heavy run did not
hamper trading to any great degree.
Steers were priced at $6g9.5O;
heifers, $709.25. and cows S54 80.
Calves Are Stronger
The calf market was strong from
the start OF the session. Best veal.
ers brought $3.50 which was the
same as tuesday. but the bulk Of
the vealers were sold at S12, which
was stronger than the previous day.
Receipts were estimated at LOO
vealers and the run moved to the
scales at an early hour.
The sheep and lamb market was
practically at a standstill, because
OF the light receipts officially
estimated at 100 ovines. The final
check up will probably show less
than half that amount actually in
the pens for sale, according TO trad
ers' estimates. Choice wool lambs
were quoted at S13Q15.50; sheep. So
al; clipped lambs, $13G14.5O, and
spring lambs S13017.50.

Back From Derby

That the robbers might have been
out-of-town men was being investi-
gated by detectives. as 1t was known
that Haag attended the Derby at
Louisville. Ky. Saturday. 1t was
said that some character Of the I'M
derworld seeing the large ring Haag
wore and also the expensive auto he
was driving followed Haas and his
companion to Indianapolis where ne
