Charles E. Marshall, former cash
ier of the State Bank of Papillion
the wrecking of which entailed a lois
of 400 thousand dollars, was jailed
Monday in Papillion when his bonds
man, Andy Gallagher, reprnsenting

Marshall's seven thousand dollar
bond.
Marshall had been at liberty under
the bond, pending outcome of his
appeal to the supreme court after his?

on charge of falsifying the bank re
cords. He appeared at the courthouse' at
Papillion Monday to answer to a new
charge of uttering forged notes in
connection with the bank crash.
Hearing on the new charge was in
definitely postponed .by County Judge
Wheat, pending decision of the su
preme couht on the first conviction.
Gallagher, who was present, then
announced his withdrawal from Mar

mediately placed Marshall under ar
rest and led him to the jail.
"This is a big surprise," was Mar

dent of the Papillion State bank who
fled when the crash came, has beer

The outstanding development in
cattle prices thus far in 1D27. is the
rising premium on heavy, well fin
ished cattle. Such cattle were rela
tively low during all of 193G, due to
abnormally high receipts. It is es
timated by the experts in the United
States department of agriculture that
12 per cent more hisrhly vnished cat
tle were sent to market in iy"2C than
in 1925. This was due primarily to
cheap corn, according to economics
department of Iowa State college.
The feeder movement was slower
in getting under way last fall than
a year earlier. Shipments of feed
ers from 64 markets was 45.000
smaller in July. 192G. than in July.
1925 and 1S0.000 smaller in August
than a year earlier. In September,
however, the 1926 shipments were
95.000 larger than in 1925. In Octo
ber they were about the same for
each year. In November the 1926
shipments were reported as SI, 000
larger than in 1.9 25.
The small run of light feeders dur
ing August and September has had a
double effect on the supply of heavy
well-finished stock during the last
two months. The lighter early run
of feeders has made for smaller re
ceipts of corn fed cattle duringthe
early winter; also the longer period
required to put them into the heavier
weight classes has further delayed
the run of heavy well-finished stock.
The consequent spread in price be
tween the heavy and light weight
classes gives an added incentive to
longer feeding to put on the addi
tional finish, so that it seems that a
good many cattle are being held back
for this reason.
In ,viev of the above conditions.
heavier runs of well-finished cattle
may be looked for soon. The import
ant thing to watch so far as the im
mediate price situation is concerned,
is just when these highly-finished
cattle, will begin to move to market
in substantial numbers. ;
