New YORK, March 15-The stock market
time teversh and irregular, with narrow fuc
tendency was downward during the latter part
of the day 1t was a traders market, pure aud
simple lack of te egraphic commu lication and
the slight attendance at the board leaving
transactions in their hands. There was some
European buying on old orders in the early
trading, but very little new business of tlat
character was transacted Buying caused some
advance Traders, however, $ ON began TO sell
long stock. and later In the day report that
the Atcnison engineers would strike to-day in
duced selling and pressure, which was most
marked in Grangers Burlington and Quincy
leading, but later gave place 10 Northwestern,
on which q strike is also promised. CoaleiS
were active especially in the early portion of
the day Lackawanna IN good demand scoring a
gain OF per cent, though part OF the improve
ment was asterward lost The opening was ex-
trernely dull. but steady. Under the lead Of
Lackawanna and New England some strength
was manifested during tIe forenoon, but after
that the decline became noticeable, and during
the day the pressure on Changers aged tho
list off and most stocks declined TO below open
ing figures. slight rally In last few minutes,
however, closed the market firm, though at
about lowest prices. The closing prices show
irregular changes OF small fractions Ia most

NovemUe.: 20. Passing through Gin
cinnati, Louisville, Nashville, and
New Orleans, they will reach San An

ALL ABOUT A COLT.
!. n. HoenigsberG has an ARRAY In
Which Puckridge was Shot.

]. n. HOentgSberC mas an ARRAY III
Which Puckridge was Shot.
Mr.. Koenigsberg, the tailor, resid-
ing on Commerce street, has little
ranch near the AlaZan creek, and his
nearest neighbors are Mr.. Gulledge
and Mr.. Puckridge. Some time ago
Mr.. Koenigs berg lost a colt and found
it tied in Mr.. Puckridge's premises
and P's. little daughter declared that
her father intended to give it to her.
This was the beginning ofthe trouble.
Mr.. |. II. Koenigsberg went out on
Sunday to see if their cattle were all
right and missed another colt. He
searched for it and found 1T
with other horses but couldn't get 1T.
He followed the horses till they went to
Puckridges lot, and there Mr.. Koen-
igsburg saw Puckridge, whom he
didn't know, and said, please, sir,
corral that colt for me.' Puckridge
answered, II don't know you,n on
which Koenigsberg said, ~ don't
know YOU, either, but Iwant my colt"
Puckridge raved and cursed, said he
knew him by his resemblance to his
ks father and the father had called
him horse thief. Koenigsberg de-
MED this and offered to prove it by
neighbor Gulledge. 1t was arranged
that both should go there and Koen-
igsberg rode there. Puckridge and
his wife followed in wag-
on. Mr.. Gulledge was not
there, but his wife and daughter
were, and proved Puckridge was
wrong. This maddened Puckridge,
and he swore at the ladies. Koenigs-
berg said that's not the way to
talk" and Puckridge then cursed
Koenigs berg, told him to come off his
horse and he'd fix him. Koenigs-
berg dismounted, and Puckridge
struck at him, but he warded of the
blow. Then Puckridge went for his
double-barrel, old-fashioned gun in
the wagon and came to koenigs-
berg, who caught the gun, and
there was struggle for its possession
in which Mrs. Puckridge took part.
The gun must have been cooked at the
time, and, although Puckridge said 1T
wasn't loaded, it exploded, intlicting
an ugly wound in Puckridge's arm.
Puckridge cried out, Pm shot" gave
up the gun, and to prevent further
damage, kOenigsberg brought 1t TO
the city. The other barrel was then
found to be loaded KOenigsberg re-
ported the matter to the authorities,
and a charge of assault with intent to
kill was filed against him. Suisse
quently under habeas corpus proceed
ings. Judge Noonan fixed the bond at
81 600 and the accused was released.
Today an affidavit viii be made
against Puckrdge for the same
charge. The evidence shows that it is
uncertain who fired the shot, but the
evidence seems to be clear that Puck
ridge was the aggressor and that
Koenigsberg merely acted in self-de-
fence
