LIVESTOCK WHEAT WARKET IS UNSETTLED} Rapid iene. of (Harvest) and Splendid Weather Re- ported in Kansas Chicago, June 24. —)}—With rapid progress of harvest in Kansas splendid weather there, formed the rule in \ Batimiates were current to recent favorable conditions, Kansas wheat prospects pointed ‘a yield of 126,- 000,000 to 140,000,000 bushels wath Oklahoma totaling 40,000,000 to 060,000 bushels ‘cn Nebraska to,000 000 bushels. Crop comment from domestic spring territory northwest was also orable. Wheat closed unsettled % to 1 cent net lower, to 2 cents down, oats % to 1% cents off, and provisions unchanged to a set’ back of 12 cents. Liquidating sales on the part of holders both of wheat and corn were. much in evidence at times today. Favorable weather for both cereale was the chief factor, and even on sharp declines a lack of aggressive buying: was apparent. A number of standing orders to sell out and stop lgas at various fixed limits on wheat and on corn as well were forced into operation, Warmer temperatures in the corn belt. today and rapidly improving! field conditions throughout the wit ter wheat harvest region put a d cided handicap, at least temporarily on friends of higher prices for any kind of grain. Reports of damage by hail parts of the Canadian northwest were virtually i ig and so too was talk that July usually a bull month because of wu favorable crop developments spring wheat territory.

STOGK PRIGES MOVE UPWARD — | Market ‘Gives Good Demon- stration of Recuperative Power After Break % June 24.—(}—The ve anéther good demonstration of recuperative power| today. after yesterday's late break, but trading turned dull on the rally. The relatively small volume of over- night selling encouraged a resump- tion of pool operations which sent more than a dozen iss levels for the year. There was nothin, news to influence the price move- ment. Operators for the rise bought stocks on the theory that the mar- ket’s technical position had been strengthened -by the recent shake; outs, andsthat a bettér démand for securities was likely next month a result of the unusually large vol- ume of funds to be ributed in the form of dividend and interest payments. The weekly mercantile reviews reported little change in tl \general situation, with summer du! ness the rule in most lines. General Motors, Mack Trucks and.

They boarded the train, stopped it at the required place and hustled tke | | engineer and fireman off. “As soon as the engine stopped, we made ready to blow open the mail car. Before this the mail ‘clerk atuck his head out of the door, Ray told him to come out. Instead he slammed the oor and locked it. Then T told him to come out—that we were going to blast the car. “We were five him a chance. He again refused. He should have Bix out—I knew it would kill him, called to him the third time and told him it was his last chance.” Blast Is Set Off The mail clerk refused to come out. The three brothers led the fireman and engineer back to the detonator and Ray set it off. The terrific ex- plosion so filled the car with gas and amoke that they could not enter it. As they were preparing to force the engineer to move it out of the tun- nel they espied the brakeman (John- son) coming forward toward them from the rear of the train, a fuse over his head. “Ray and I took a shot at him when he got close. 1 never will for- get him. He staggered toward us and said ‘Wait a minute, boys “He was all stooped over, holding his stomach. I don’t kflow how he ever stood up with so niuch buck shot in him. He staggered out and fell down against the side of the ‘tunnel. “Pll never forget the look on his face. It has been hell, He dropped down on the ground and died. “When the engineer kidded me and told me he could not go ahead, | grew desperate and shot him. “I was mad! I was mad! Then Roy shot the fireman. He was the last.” Hid Near Tunnel All Night Roy and Hugh stayed in their -hid- ing place neat the tunnel all night while Ray went to Eugene to get an automobile. “All that night, Phe and I waited without sleeping,” Hugh continued. “We could hear the electric bell of the engine ringing, It was ringing all the time. 1 you, if they had rung a bell during my trial I'd have jumped up: and told it all.” The confession then told how the three brothers stuck together and helped one another through hair breadth escapes, hardships and sev- eral varieties of unpleasant sur- pri: Once Ray wanted to surren- tes but Roy dissuaded him. At Klamath Falls they parted with a handshake to meet the next New Year's at Santa Ana, Texas, Later Hugh went to Chicago and joined the army as “James C. Price,” and was sent to the Philippines, where he was captured a few months ago. y and Rpy recently were ‘cap- 50] tured in Stetbenville, ‘Ohio, where they were employed in a factory. Tom, Dick and Harry Means 3 Famous Men! | (Contgiued from page one)’ | the name Byrd does not by any means mean simply the man who flew over the north ‘pole. Finally there is Tom, The country: at large Knows him not at all. Yet he must be well worth knowing. Virginians think so. A World War Hero Tom is of the introspective, con- templative type. Lacking the flare for direct action that motivates Dick and Harry, his career has been, on the whole, quiet and obscure. Yet in 1917, when the call to arms came, Tom was one of the first sons of the Old Dominion to volunteer. He served well in France, making a rec- ord for bravery and fidelity to duty under fire, When the war ended he retired to the quiet of his country estate in the Shenandoah valley, tending his peach and pear orchards, enjoying life hugely and emerging from his retirement occasionally to congratu- late one or the other of his brothers for some new achievement. Tom, Dick and Harry come by their bravery and ability honestly. Their grandfather, Col. William Byrd, was a man of mettle. So was his wife, their grandmother, Mrs. Jane Byrd, who is still living and who is proude: than she can say of her three grand sons. An Adventuresome Career She and William Byrd had been married just two years when the Civil War ‘broke out. Byrd ‘had Brought her to Virginia from Texas, whither she ‘and her family had mi- ‘grated, when she was seven, via the cany wagon from Tennessee. She had known frontier life, and her beauty and charm made her an orna- ment to the Byrd plantation at Win- chester, Va. She saw her husband and her two brothers enlist. The two brothers were killed. Wil- liam Byrd was listed as missing-in ‘action, and when month after month passed and no word of him came it ‘wag thought that he, too, had been - NORTH DAKOTA ROAD BULLETIN Issued Weekly By The ‘North Dakota Department of State Highways U, S.

At length the war ended. Still there was no word of Byrd. Then, one day, he came riding up to the plantation, dismounted, and asked gravely, “Does the Widow Byrd live here?” It developed that he had been wounded, had been captured by Fed- eral soldiers and had been confined in a military prison at New Orleans, unable to communicate with home. Three Different Types Mrs. Byrd loves to talk about her three grandsons, Tom, Dick and Har- The three were always of d ferent types, she says; Harry was ever studious and grave, Dick ven- turesome and light-hearted, and Tom quiet and instrospectiye. She is proud of Tom, proud of Harry—and oh, ever so proud of Dick. “That boy is a case,” she says, “I hope he writes a book some day, be- cause he certainJy has had a lot of fun and it would be a shame to keep it all to himse There, then, the countr; famous Tom, Dick and Harry.

FORT, PIONEER HERE, IS DEAD (Continued from page one) Fort was a member of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and among his ancestors were some of the nation’s early pioncers. His brother, G. L. Fort of Minnea- polis, came here a few days ago up- on receiving notice of his rapid de- cline and was with him until his death. Other brothers and sisters surviving are James M. Fort of ouls, 1U,; Charles F, Fort of Spring- field, Mo.; Mrs, Josie Fort Sweet of Hiawatha, Kansas, and Mrs. Dora Fort Jones of Pomona, Calif. “Judge Fort was one of the finest characters I have ever known,” said E. G. Patterson today in comment- ing on the death of this well-known Bismarck mai “He was one of my closest friends, having made my hotel his home continuously since 1898. He was loyal to his friends and to Bis- marck, and his kindness to the old timers will always be remembered.” Funeral Sunday Funeral si day afternoon at 2:30 at the McCabe Methodist Episcopal church, Rev.
