PERsECUTING sHAFER.
An Insurance Agent the Victim of
Relentless Enemy.

Relentless Enemy.
SCKANToN. pril 9.-NathanH. Shafer
a prominent insurance agent who occu-
pies suite of offices in the Odd Eel
lows building on Wyoming avenue, is
being prosecuted by relentless enemy.
Three times in as many weeks his office
has been broken into, and circumstances
indicate that it is the work of the same
person. Last evening a fire was dis
covered in his private Office and was
without doubt the work of an incen-
Gilrv. To-day the Office was on fire
eieven different times. Smoke
would be seen issuing from a drawer
or desk and when an eXamln-
alton was made blaze would be seen.
Buckets OF water were kept constantly
on hand, so that the flames could be eX-
tinguished as soon as discovered. Chief
Madison, of the fire department, spent
an hour in the office this afternoon.
during which time two fires broke out
before his very eyes. He made a study
of the case and came to the conclusion
that some combuStible chemical had
been scattered about the room for the
purpose of destroying the office. A
careful watch is being kept on the
premises. Large rewards have been
offered for information that viii lead to
the capture of the tiend.

Short Hay CroD.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 9.-In reference
to the st. Paul, Mimi, dispatch as to
the tightness of the hay market, local
dealer says that one of the reasons was
a short crop last year. This alone, how
ever. would not account for the great
demand that has been made upon st.
Louis. and which has sent prices up
rapidly. As much as $50 ton has been
paid for gilt-edge hay, and ordinary
grades have brought SIC and SIT.
THE cause of this advance" he said. ..is
not SO much due to the shortage in the Mis-
souri, as to the fact that we have been called
upon 10 supply a much larger territory than
ever before and the consequence was that
about month ago the supply on hand was
exhausted - ~

WE'LL STILL HAVE BOATS.
No Truth in the Reported Adam
dOnment of River Trade.

ST. Louis, April "a dispatch sent
out from Burlington, To-, yesterday, has
created some misunderstanding among
river men in regard to the sale of the
st. Louis and st. Paul Packet company's
property to the Diamond 10 line. The
dispatch stated that the st. Paul line
would in consequence of the sale aban-
don the upper Mississippi. Inquiry here
proves the dispatch to be incorrect in
asmuch as only the trade between St.
Louis and Keokuk was transferred to
the Diamond 10 line. The reason for
the transfer is that the headquarters of
the st. Lonis and st. Paul company are
too far removed. The terms OF the sale
could not be ascertained.

DALLAS EXCITED.
The Cash Murder Trial Awakens
Great Interest.

DALLAS, Tex, April 9.-The trial of
". c. Cash, of Mckinney, Tex, for the
killing of Edward |. Young is now on
and eXcites great interest. Fifteen let
tiers written by Mrs. Cash were intro
duced as evidence to-day. They estab-
lish the fact that Mrs. Cash and Young
were on terms of criminal intimacy
and are very damaging to deceased.
The defense will endeavOr to prove by
experts that Cash was insane when he
did the killing. Mrs. Cash, divorced wife
Of the prisoner, is a witness for the de-
Tense. Cash's wife was put on the
stand to-day, and her testimony was
sensational i'll the extreme. Many of
the letters that Ed Young wrote her
while she lived in Kentucky and before
she and Cash were divorced, were pro-
duced and read in court, all of which
bear evidence OF having been conceived
in the devilisii desire to tear Cash's wife
from him and his three children and
ruin his home. Cash's move
mentS before he killed Young in Dallas
early in February of this year, indicate
that he was insane from brooding over
the wrongs inflicted upon him.
