Say Victims of River Were Too Neglectful Several witnesses for the defense in the suit for $15,000 against Sarpy county for the death of Mrs. May Swift declared that the automobile in which she was riding when she met death must have disregarded a barrier in the middle of the road. This barrier, they said, consisted of three fence posts set in the road. Harry Rah! declared the barrier was sixty or eighty feet from the river bank when he aw it a day or two before the accident, which occurred about midnight of July 30, 1916. The auto mobile rushed at high speed into the river and five Omahans were drowned. Witnesses testified also to the ter rific voracity of the river along the bank at that time. Sometimes, they said, it would eat away sixty feet of bank in twenty-four hours, sweeping away forests and fields. Rahl declared the river was plainly risible to the south and also visible ahead, at the end of theoad. He said the occupants of the automobile could liave seen the water ahead when 150 feet awav.

Corn was steady, being 'i cent off to Z'i cents up. Receipts were fifty- The clearing house association of the Omaha Grain exchange has com pletely eliminated speculation in wheat. At a special meeting the clearing house fixed -$-.80 a bushel as the maximum price on the July wheat option and $2.44 on September. The association barred all trading in the July and September options, except in cases where exchange mem bers have contracted for delivery during these months. So far restrictions have not been placed on trading in futures on corn and oats. Following the action of the clear ing house, prices on the wheat op tions went tumbling, cash going along with them. The July option, which Wednesday sold at .$2.35, dropped to $2.20, and September went from $2.06 to $1.95 a bushel. Cash wheat sold off 18 cents, $2.82 being the best price at which a sale was made. One report current on the floor of the exchange, which it was said had to do with the downward plunge of prices, wal that the United States government had asked Great Britain and its European allies to sell im- to iy2 cents up. Receipts were htty six carloads and the selling prices $1.5754 to $1.59 a bushel. Wednesday and sold at 68 to bP) cents. Receipts were twenty-one carloads.
