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.
Trial of the case was suspended for
the afternoon tc, allow Judge Wood-
rougn to go to Wavne, Web., to de
liver the high school commencement
address.

WHEAT FUTURE DEAL
BANNED ON 'CHANGE
Clearing House Association
Fixes July and September
Delivery Prices; No Action
Taken on Corn and Oats.
mense holdings of future delivery
wheat contracted in this country.
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.
Dying Mother Gives Her
Only Son to Uncle Sam
"I know I will not live until you re
turn from the war, so I'd like to sec
you in your navy uniform," a dying
mother, who gave her only boy back
to his country, exclaimed.
So Jack H. Davis, 20, of Henderson,
la., a recruit, just arrived, shyly asked
if he could have a uniform immediate
ly. He had been accepted.
A bit of questioning as to his rea
son for such haste brought out the
story of the patriotic mother over in
Iowa.
"You can bet your life you can have
a uniform quick 1" answered the officer
in charge.
Jack was fitted up with the nattiest
uniform to be had, and he left for
Henderson to visit his mother again
before he goes out on the line for Old
Glory.
