Information that Hartman formerly was connected with a manufacturing firm at St Joseph, Mo., whose plant was dam aged by fire In December, 1911, was given to the police. The St. Joseph polios were asked for details concerning the circum stances of this fire. Ths Michael Crows referred to tn the foregoing dispatch la a former resident of Omaha, leaving; here five years ao for California. He was a member of the Omaha police fores for three years, re signing seven years ago. Four Horses Burn To Death in a Barn Four horses were nurned to death In a barn belonging to L. Pederson, at 2(25 Mason street, early this morning, per sons living nearby heard an explosion and saw a man drive away hurriedly in an automobile. Police believe ths fire to be of Ine.en diary origin. Ths horses belonged to William Lee of ths People's Ice and Cold Storage company. Fire Warden Morris declared this after noon that he had learned the number ot the automobile seen as It drove hurriedly away from the scene of the blase. The number was not of a Nebraska license, the fire warden said. Strenth of wheat prices developed most broadly in ths December option whioh would be the first to feel a curtailment of deliveries on contracts. Bullish traders orofersed to fear that the labor dlsnuta on the Chicago Belt railroad might soon be extended to Include other lines center ing here, and it was rumored In addition that some northwestern roads were re fusing domestic shipments of wheat and flour to the east, not wishing to rink having cars delayed by ths unprecedented jam of export freight or by a possible enlarged tie up pending a settlement o disputes with railway employes. Corn advanced to the highest rrlcei yet this season. Unsettled weather an i the railway strike, both tending to diminish receipts, were mainly responsi ble. Oats rose In sympthy with other grain. Prorlslops went upward despite lower quotations on hogs. The smallness of contract stocks here appeared to have mad buyers anxious, especially as there is no new pork in sight yet to fill the January eontracta.

The trade opened very slow. Buvsrs Seemed Inclined to wait for advices from other selling points before doing very muck tiuslness. The fact that they have been heavy purchasers of cattle all tha week made them leas hungry for fresh supplies than they would otherwise have been. Bids were generally 10c or more lower on pretty much everything. The morning wore away with very little busl- neaa Deing transacted until well along toward midday. The trade finally aettled down tn a 1ftA 15e lower basis on pretty much every thing. Cows suffered more decline than that, being quoted by many 40dr00c lower than the high point on Monday. A few green stork cattlo nerhana did not thnw much decline. Today's break rarrlos ths market to the low point of the season to date.

As was the case yesterday, shippers took their Cine about starting out. but finally they, along with ons or two of the pack ers, began picking up the good heavy hogs, as well as soms of the best lights, at prices that were not over 6c lower and In many cases were nearly steady. About mldforenoon tbe trade suddenly took on new life. Bids Jumped to a fully steady basis and many sales were made this way, while before the close prloes paid looked ss much as 6c higher than yesterday's early market, and were so different from yesterday's close as to be clear out of range of comparison.
