(Spe cial.) O. U. Harrington, a local Jitney driver, is In receipt of a letter from his mother, Mrs. Lou Harrington, of Greeley, Colo., apprising him of his mother's good fortune in establishing claim in a queer manner to her father's estate valued at $200,000.

Dur ing dredging operations In the bed of the Platte River near Kersey recently the safe was uncoverecTSind its con tents, including the deeds, were found to be in gobd condition.

Steadiness prevailed at the close, which was exactly the same, as 24 hours before, with May $1.274. Oata lost to He net. In provisions the outcome waa a gain of 5 to 7c. Corn traders' interest centered- chiefly on forecasts of price levels for July contracts. A popular opinion was that the right value basis would be fixed by comparison with the cost of No. 3 mixed, which today sold at about $1.4501.50 a bushel. Absence of seaboard demand weakened oats despite changes expected soon in con tract grades. Provisions sympathized with higher quo tations on hogs. Leading futures ranged as follows: CORN. Open.
