At the command fire the men dropped on
the ground full length and the rifles began
to crack. Then for thirty seconds it was
continuous roar, bullets whistling in the
air and embedding themselves in the back
stop, dust and pebbles showering around
the figures. At the command "Cease fir

repeated until ten halts were made. Some

The Wheat Blockade at Kansas CITY.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Sept. 1O--The Star
this afternoon will say in regard to the
reported blockade in the movement of
wheat in this city that the reports would
have not been far from correct had they
been printed a week or ten days ago, but
coming as they do just now, when the rail
roads are cleaning up the last weeks rush,
it is hard for grainmen and agents to be-
lieve everyone knows the real situation.
Last week the roads were caught unawares
and for time cars could not be had fast
enough to handle the grain. The extra
efforts made by the lines aud the decrease
in receipts have mbined to clear the yards
here. AT no time during last week was the
rush equal to that of previous years. The
real rush has not yet begun. Many pre-.

scale the Car might refuse to let his people
go. Finally the magnitude of the scheme
