discovered that he was dead. Atkinson
arrived at this iuncture and inquired if
his shot had been fatal. Scharp replied
that the convict was dead. Atkinson left
and reported to his superior officer. In
moving the remains Scharp discovered
that Handley had a revolver in his right
coat pocket.
Corporal VIM. L. Kratzer had charge
of the guard when the tragedy occurred.
Atkinson was a member of the guard and
had been detailed to command the squad
of which deceased was one. About S:45
o'clock Atkinson reported the shooting.
Under Kratzer's directions the remains of
Handley were conveyed to the hospital.
In transit it was discovered that Handley
was armed with a revolver at the time of
his break for liberty.
Col. Ofley, post commander, testified
that Atkinson was a regularly mounted
member of the post guard and subject to
the orders of the corporal. In firing upon
HandleY he had simply performed his
duty. He followed the regulations, call
ing Halt" the requisite number of
times before shooting. The military
court of inquiry had exonerated Atkinson
from all blame. Col. Ofley had, after
the last escape, told the sergeant of the
guard to warn his men that the next sem
tinel who allowed a prisoner to escape
would be court martialed for disobedience
of orders.
Post Surgeon d. s. Caldwell furnished
a doctors certificate which recited in
physiological terms the cause of Hand
ley's demise.
The hospital steward created somewhat
of a sensation by appearing at this juno
ture with Handley's effects. The collec-
ton included an empty bull dog revolver,
a large pocket knife, a razor, $2l in
money, a murderous looking ~slungshot
and a number Of letters. One of the latter
was from the convict who escaped yester-
day morning, evidencing that he had not
improved his time by placing space be-
tween himself and the prison.
THE VERDICT.
The coroner's jury rendered a verdict to
the effect that Handley's death had been
caused by a gunshot wound inflicted by
w. l.. Atkinson, while the latter was in
the discharge of his duties as a member
Of the post guard.
H DEAD MAN.
Charles Handley was a military convict
who had been sentenced to imprisonment
at Leavenworth by a court martial at Fort
Duchesne. His offense was deserticn and
theft. He escaped while awaiting re-
moval and was captured by Sheriff Sterl-
ing Of Albany county at Laramie, and de-
liyered to the military authorities at Fort
Russell. He had threatened to down"
a guard and escape, and doubtless carried
the slungshot for this purpose.
TIL SHOOTER.
Private Wellington L. Atkinson at
whose hands Handley met his death, is
quite well known in the city. He did a
bayonet drill at the Decoration Day enter
tainment at Keete hall, and again assisted
the Y. M. G. A. by giving an exhibition
of Indian club swinging at the opening of
the new gymnasium last week.

guard house Tuesday night one still re-

LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLS.
With Peters Patent Fastenings for Cartridges
Pattern Improved. Penetration Increased. RecoH Diminished and
FouNng of Gun Chamber Prevented.

Has the sole control in the United States of the Peters Patents, both
as pertaining to Loading Machines and the fluctuations for securing
the load in the shell. The machines ire run by steam and are auto
matte throughout. The wads arr of elastic wood felt, perfectly
fabricated. They are cut several sizes larger and compressed into
shell in the act of loading. The extra size and quality of the wads
hold back and develop the full strength of the charge, and render
especial Smith or Parker" loads unnecessary. Each machine has a
regular working capacity of sixty cartridges per minute, and may
even be run at a much greater speed and do good work. Having a
steady and powerful movement, the wads are seated level, and with
proper pressure, while the charges are uniform. The lamentations
for holding the load are made at the moment of greatest compression
The superiority of this method of fastening over the ordinary cnmP
has been proven by searching tests. 1t has been found to improve
pattern, increase penetration and prevent fouling of shell chamber
and leading of shoulder. The recol is greatly diminished. Indeed,
the method of fastening and the whole work of the machine produces
the very perfection of Shotgun Ammunition. The most fattering
testimonials are coming in from all parts of the country. Amateur
and Professional Sporsmen re alike delighted. For sale by

Chamber of COmmerce,

Receipts of wheat here were 1914 cars and
"a were shipped out. Duluth reported 43
on track. Sellers were holding for an ad-
vance on milling wheat to correspond partly
with the rise in speculative markets, and
buyers were paying about &c more for
samples. More mo. hard was offered than
usual, but millers preferred No. northern,
and the demand was made for that grade.
Following are the closing quotations:
No. / hard, cash, sl26, October, 81. %;
December. S1.26; on track, S1.27; No.
northern, cash, ST. 1912; October, Sl.19; De-

FlOur-The -four market was quiet, but
steadily held at the decline quoted yesterday.
The decline noted was not satisfactory TO
many millers, but was made by others and
had to be accepted by all. II wheat makes a
rally to old figures the millers will return to
the higher quotations of few days ago.
There is a great deal -four sold for forward
delivery, some at near the top and much
more below it. Those contracts are to be dis
posed of, which will keep the local mills
busy for some thirty days. That is about as
far ahead as they are inclined to go,in view of
the prospect of not getting wheat supplies
without such strong competition as to endan-
ger profits in final results. Patent, sacks to

Bran and Shorts-The bran market was
steady in the nature of the demand, with
quite range in asking figures, ranging from
Sill to 81 in bulk. Shorts are in good re-
quest at S12.500l4 for fine and coarse.
Corn-The demand for corn was slow, as
usual, and the inquiry for feed purposes at
the feed mills. Samples ranged at 3S@42c.
Oats-Moved slowly, with poor lots drag
ging. while fine and heavy white sold fairly
well, ranging at 26630c for poor to good on
track. Lots that will reach SOC are scarce.

fine lots at 6O@65c, but such lots were
