Springfield Looted
Thieves Enter Thru Window
and Carry Away Suits
Valued at $500

Thieves entered the tailor shop of
Matt Huepfel at Springfield, early
Tuesday morning, and looted the
place taking all the available mems
clothing in the place. The loss was
estimated at $500. Mr.. Huepfel was
employed here by F. G. Hubbard un-
til about two years ago and has since
been engaged in his tailoring and
clothing business at Springfield.
The first indication of the robbery
was when Mr.. Huepfel opened the
shop in the morning and discovered
the suits had been taken from the
display window. An investigation re-
vealed that every mans suit in the
place and been removed. No women's
apparel was disturbed.
Mr.. Huepfel had visited the shop
upon his return from a trip to Red
wood Falls earlier in the evening and
found everything intact at II o'clock.
The burglars apparently gained en-
trance by prying open a window in
the rear of the building.

Two-Year Old Child
Seriously Injured
Son of MIR. and Mrs. NJ. Tibbets
Receives Broken Thigh When
Attacked by Hogs

The two year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Malcolm Tibbits, living three
miles southeast of Redwood Falls,
was saved from very serious injury
and perhaps death by the father,
shortly after noon Tuesday, when he
was attacked by large hog. The
boy however, received broken thigh
and a laceration from the animal be-
fore being rescued.
The father was working about the
barns after the noon meal when he
heard the hogs making an unusual
uproar and went to investigate,
thinking they were fighting. When
he arrived the boy was on the ground
and was being viciously attacked.
Even after Mr.. Tibbets had snatched
the boy from the ground the animal
3ursued him in an attempt to injure
.lirn.
According to latest reports the
boy was recovering as well as could
be expected although there is a possi-
bility of infection.

PLUNGE
Auburn and IngersoII Rand Dip
For 11-Point Losses, and U.
S. Steel Sets New 1881 Low
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, April 81 1N.SO
Sharp breaks in handful of the
market specialtieS ACCOMPANIED
the moderate reaction in other
sections of the stock market this
morning.
Traders who had purchased
stocks at the low prices of the
last day or two rushed in for
their profits, and selling from
this source flattened out the re-
lies in the active industrials.
Steel Hits New Low
United States Steel was pushed
down to a new low for the year
at 1898, after starting the ses-
sion at 1871.
Auburn Auto and Ingersoll
Rand were again the leaders IN
the downward plunge Of the
SpecialtieS, losing about II points
each. Ingersoll Rand at 1875
was down 111s for the day and
20 points from yesterdays best
price.
The company earned $4.72 last
year, against $40 a share in 1929
and dividend requirements Of Sc
a share. Industrial Rayon lost an
additional 512 points at 33, Good
rich preferred was down 4, and
Western Union fell off 6 points
to 116.
In the absence of outside buy
ing demand, stocks settled down
of their own weight in the second
hour, with trading extremely dull
and quiet.
American Telephone and Tele'
graph fell off 3A points to 1864,
General Electric lost a point, and
other speculative leaders declined
a point or so.
PrOfe~-ional Juggling
Professional juggling of the
active stocks accounted for the
bulk of the markets activity, and,
as in the last few days, the rails,
coppers, oils, and other promi-
nent groups were again on the
shelf. Cali money loaned at 1H2

MARKET CLOSE
HIGHER Z DAYS
SUCCEEDING
First Time in Nearly a Month,
Spectator Notes, Seeing It
as Hopeful Sign Of Upturn
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK. April 21.-The
markets action on Monday might
be considered as generally en-.
couraging. In spite of a vicious
bear drive in the early trading,
the general averages held stub
bornly above the low points Of
Saturday.
For the first time in almost a
month, the stock list as measured
by the Standard Statistics Index
of 80 composite stocks was able to
close higher for the second sue.
cessive session.
Advance Nominal
True. the advance was but
nominal, yet the ability of the
market to display rallying tend
encieS in the face of individual
breaks to new depression period
lows of such standard investment
issues as U. S. Steel and Standard
Oil of New Jersey, speaks well for
the caliber of support in other sec.
tions of the list.
1t is yet too early to say that
the rank and file of stocks are
in a buying zone. Additional
hurdles will have to be crossed
before the danger signal can be
lowered and the manner in
which bad news is taken from
this point on will be an import
ant factor in judging the cur
rent position of the market.
Close students of price fluctua-
tionS. attempting to set a definite
time limit for the completion of
the current readjustment, point
out that the decline in the mar
ket in the spring of 1880 terni-
mated after IS trading days. The
fall decline terminated after 81
trading days.
Minimum and Maximum
Assuming that the market this
spring reached its high on Febru-
ary "a, this decline which has
been in progress since that time
has already occupied As trading
days. If the duration of this
spring decline extended no longer
than it did in the spring of 1880,
then we could expect the terlni'
nation about April 90.
If it should continue for as
long a period as the decline last
fall, then it would terminate
about May 30. At any rate, it
appears that May 80 is the maxi
mum limit on the time side.
Searching for trading issues
expected to do more than their
share in any general market ad-
vance, has turned a good deal
of attention to Drug, Inc. OBJ
servers who have made close
study of this stock, point out
that it's price movements have
been contrary to the market
trend. The explanation is that
earnings are reported to have
shown about a S per cent in
crease over 1890 in the first
quarter of the year.
General Motors Firm
The relative firmness. of Gen.
eral Motors while other motor
shares have been under heavy
selling pressure of late is attrib-
uted to usually we'll informed re-
ports which expects to see this
industrial leader cover its full
dividend requirements for the
first half year.
Although first quarter earn.
ings are not expected to exceed
so cents per share, it is held
that profits for the present three
month period will be sufficient
to meet dividend needs of $3.50
for the combined quarters.
