SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTION.


Some time ago man named Geo. Sexton
brought lot of corn TO the city and sold il
to Eldridgc & Sherman, they giving him
checks on the bank in payment. Soon after
he left this section of country, going TO Col
orado, Salt Lake City and other important
places in the west. Soon after his departure
his brother came to the city and claimed the
corn was his and that his brother stole i
from him. BE brought suit in Justice
Thomas cour. for the price of the corn and
got judgment for S54. The case was APP
pealed. A short tire ago il became known,
through the medium of woman, as the
story goes. tina. George Sexton was at See
ley. Eldridge II Sherman had offered $50
reward, and T. VI. Lane and Mr.. Derby dep
uted by the sheriff, went and captured him,
and h, is now in Jail. 1t seems there was a
woman mixed up in the case. The parties
who bought the corn think it was a put up
job between the two brothers.
All the above story was related 10 re-
porter yesterday. Further than that we
know nothing about it.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW

Owing to the inclement weather, rs much
as TO the low price of grain, trade was un
usually duh during the past week,
The marke; was lifeless in every respect
The receipts were far below the average anc
prices ruled low. There has practically beer
no change in produce of any kind. Although
there were quite number of farmers in the
city yesterday, they brought very little tc
sell and their buying was unusually light fol
Saturday. Our merchants express dissatis
faction with the weeks trade.
The sale at the new stock yard companies
stables was well attended, quite a number o
buyers and sellers being present, and con
siderable number of horses. mules. cattl,
and other personal property changed hands
At hills old barn an auction was held alst
and a number of horses sold. Altogethe

THAT CHARITY BALL

Allusion was made in Yesterdays EAGLE
to the charity ball and musical entertain
ment to be given at the opera house on
Wednesday evening, the 18th inst. We can
not urge upon our people IN terms too
strong the importance Of making this enter
tainment financial success. 1t should be
understood at the outstart that the net pro-
ceeds will not be used for any other than
charitable purposes, nor exclusively for the
benefit of the wards of the Grand Army
This is a noble work that certain ladies End
gentlemen of our city have undertaken to
accomplish. To be successful they must
have your encouragement, and in order to
secure them against loss, from possible bad
weather, committees from the Ladies Aux
iliary Aid society will wait upon you at your
homes or places of business and solicit
YOU to purchase a ticket. Now please dom
| meet them with scowl or stake to the
woods" on their approach. Don't blandly
tell them that you "never dance or thai
"charitv begins at home" Not one of the
ladies placed on these committees but would
as n matter of choice, rather bend over s
wash tub all day long than walk into :
crowded store room, or even accost you or
the street, and meet with a rebuff This en-
tertainment to meet the demands of pressing
want should net the management ut least
$500 This means work, and it means some
thing more. 1t means liberality to the ex'
tent of purchasing 500 tickets at 81 each
Such ticket will admit one gentleman and
ladies to the musical entertainment, the bal
and the camp fire supper. 1t would be
handsome thing to say in our issue of Thurs
dav morning next tina. 500 one dollar ticket;
had been sold and enough of the twenty-five
cent tickets for the gallery to defray all the
expenses.
Some of the best local talent our favored
city affords have kindly consented to assist
in the early exercises of the evening. Mrs
DIR. Furley. Prof Price and Miss Price will
fulfill public expectation in recitation. Prof
Arbuckle will be heard in solo. The Quar-.
tette club and Glee club viii entertain you
immensely, and the old soldiers will make
the ''welkin ring" with the familiar song
Marching Through Georgia" Our society
young folks will be pleased to learn that
music for the ball will be furnished BY
Franks new orchestra of seven pieces. We
are assured that gentlemanly floor manager
will be in charge and no element Of rowdy'
ism permitted to obtain foothold.
