Boys Draw FroWn of Judge
in Mill Case.

Twenty Brightwood boys had so
much fun during their spring va
cation from school that today they
received a long lecture in juvenile
court.
They had played around an old
mill. 1t brought protests, however,
from the owner of the Hoosier We
neer Company, Jefferson and Bloyd
avenues, who alleges his place was
damaged $500 by the boys.
Evidence presented to Wilfred
Bradshaw, judge pro tenn, showed
the boys had destroyed valuable
pieces of veneer to obtain clay balls
which they used in marble games.
The roof of the plant, which was
closed, also was damaged by hide
and-seek games.
All of the boys testified they "were
just playing when they tore up Of
flee files, broke light globes and
scattered paper over the place.
Their chief object was the veneer
pieces which they pried open to
get marbles"
After lecturing the boys, Brad
shaw withheld judgment.

WHEAT MOVES

Firmer Security Prices Of

BY HAROLD f. RAINVTLLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 11.-Wheat was
very unsettled on the Board OF
Trade today and closed around the
previous levels after an early strong
upturn was wiped out at the last.
Short covering on the strength Of
Liverpool and the firmness in stocks
sent prices sharply higher, but Of
ferings of July were too heavy to
be absorbed later and with scat
tered pressure from commission
houses. the market reacted. Trade
was largely professional Crop
comments were favorable but dam
age claims were not lacking Ex-
ports were small
The coarse grains largely followed
wheat. Corn had narrow range
and mostly was firm. Little was
heard of a foreign demand. Oats
and rye followed wheat. oats hold
ing its gains better than the latter
grain.
At the close wheat was unchanged
to i cent higher, corn was UNI
changed to u cent higher oats. 4
to g cent higher and rye 4 cent
lower to 4 cent higher. Provisions
were firmer.
Receipts were Wheat, IA cars:
corn, 10, and oats. 81.
Cash prices were: Wheat. I'M
changed; corn, 4 to y cent higher
and oats y to z cent higher.
