The advance in export price
more than one cent was the longest'
stride taken in the movement which
has carried the metal up about seven
cents since the first of the year and
three cents above the level of a week
ago.
Engineering and Mining Journal, in
its weekly review today, reported
continued * in sistent demand for copper

DEATH TAKES FROID
PIONEER FARMER
Scarlet Fever Takes Life of John W.
Griggs, Foreman of Schnitzler
Farming Operations In Froid Coun
try. Leaves Wife and Four Small
Children.
Froid— Our little community was
startled at the news of the sudden de
mise of one of its pioneers, best
known and respected citizens, John W.
Griggs, who for the past sixteen years
has served faithfully as foreman on
the big Schnitzler farm west of
Homestead. He had been at work
thru the winter in the Schnitzler im
plement department here in town and
appeared in good health and spirits
until Monday morning when he felt
slight indisposition which developed
into starlet fever. On Wednesday he
was under the care of the local phy-1
sician and Thursday morning his wife
pronounced him as feeling quite well.
He had dressed and eaten a light
breakfast and then laid down for a
rest, and suddenly passe away. It is
presume that heart trouble was
direct cause of his death.
Mr, Griggs came to this section of
the country from North Dakota about
the year 1907, and for a period of
time worked with the Bruegger Merc.
company at Culbertson, and then with
his family moved on a homestead
southwest of Froid; later he engaged
1 in the threshing business. In 1913 he
allied himself with the farming oper
ations then undertaken by Mr.
I bchmtzler and has been in his era
I ploy ever since, serving as foreman
I and doing his work so well that he
I was left with the greater share of
I lesponsibility of the enterprise the
I past two or three years.
I His aeath was a severe shock to
I the community and in their bereave

Thursday of last week, the mem

! The banquet started at 7:00 o'clcok
s and a sumptuous repast was served
by the West Cafe, after which the j
i president, Al Peterson called upon
several members for toasts. Several
good talks were given, the main talk
of the evening being given by Coun

j a "County Fair for Sheridan County,
I Mr. Ferguson spoke in a clear con
vinejng manner and put the issue up

said a County Fair was a "high-prio

Wednesday and covered late in the
day with the result that prices ral
lied and the market closed amid a
.... , ,, ,
bedlam of cijes cowboy yells, cat ta.iB
and a shov ei of note pap r, with
prices going up in many insta nces to
ward the levels
tuning
At the close the tickers were an
hour and a half late, so fast were
orders received during the day. The
tickers were still running at 5:00 p. m.
At the outset prices wavered a bit
and then headed upward. But the
con-'advance soon faded and when call
money renewed at 12 per cent the
market broke wide open. Toward noon
another brief rally was started, but
it, too, gave way when money went
to 15 P er cent, In the afternoon the
r ate rose to 17 and finally to 20 per
cent where it closed,
^2 for Money
So scarce were funds for stock ex
change purposes that traders were
willingly paying the 20 per cent to
tide over their commitments. As a
large number sought to obtain new
funds, others were trying to dispose
of their stocks at any pricte. Tickers
fell behind early and never caught up.
From the first flurry until William
R. Crawford, superintendent of
floor, strode to the gong and pound
ed for cessation of the session, wild
est confusion prevailed, . Ordinarily
debonair brokers lost their easy man
ners as the trading speeded up. Their
gardenias and carnations were ripped
from button holes. Their collars were
loosened. They shouted.
The spirited speculation Tuesday
appeared of little avail. The averages
for 30 representative industrial stocks
dropped only 99 cents for the day to

was off $1.02 at $147.41.
