Robbery the Object.

WASHINGTON. Sept. pa telegram
received at the department of state from
the United States consul at Matamoras,
Mexico, states that Cara, with a party of
raiders, yesterday passed that place max
ing for the Rio Grande. A telegram
from Gen. Stanley, dated at San Antonio.
says the c~ommandant at Fort Brown re-
ports that last night Gen. Lcjero, COM
manding the 4th Mexican zone, informed
him his cavalry bad not come in contact
with the marauders. He was. therefore,
of the opinion that they were scattered
and were returning to Texas in small de-
tachments, as the police had notified him
two such parties had crossed the RE
Grande twelve miles above Brownsville
and several others between that place and
Santa Maria. The opinion among officers
at Fort Brown was that the Cara expe-
dition was organized for robbery and has
no political significance whatever.

His Fierce Left Handlers Too

Who Ended the Fight When it
Suited Him.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-The fight
between j. l.. Hergett, known as young
MITCHELL" California's representative pu-
grlist, and Freddy Gallagher OF Dem
yer, attracted more attention here than
any similar event which has taken place
in this city since the Jackson Corbett
mill. The fight was Tor IS. 200, OF which
$3.50 goes to the loser. Betting was brisk
with odds 100 to 10 on Mitchell. 1t veer-
ed to nearly even money before the fight
began. Mitchell's seconds were Jack
Dempsey and Sam Fitzpatrick. Gala
CHER was seconded by Bat Masterson and
Jimmy Carroll. Pete Jackson was rel
cree. Both men were in good condition.
The battle opened at $3.50, with Gala
CHER feinting for an opening and Mitchell
breaking ground. Gallagher got two hot

The second round was also marked by
rushing by Galavher. From the third
to the sixth round the tactics were the
same, Galagher's long left usually reached
the mark as he maintained bis position
near the middle of the ring while Mitch
ell played around him. taking every open

invariably catching that terrible left full
in the face.
At the close Of the fourth round Gal
agher's left eye was badly swollen from a
right handler. Mitchell in PLAYING for
"Reddy's'' RIBS scored twice effectively,
but Galagher's vicious drives for his chin
kept him from too frequent repetitions.
The sixth round was marked by hurri-
can fighting. Gallagher scored his
straight lefts on Mitchell chm, but lacked
a shade of a knock out effect. Mitchell
also scored two hard ones on ''Reddy's''
jaw and the close 'of the seventh round
found Gallagher short of steam.

Mitchell suddenly came back at him with
his right on the neck and his left on the

side; he made a slight effort to rise. but
fell back and was counted out.

Jealous rage. Threatening letters were

woman out. When the two were
within three feet of each other Mrs.
Camp drew the pistol, which she had
concealed under her clothes. and opened

wound. Mrs. Meyer went this morning
before Judge Faith to swear a warrant
for the arrest of Mrs. Camp, but finally
decided to defer for a time any legal

A BOY SHOOTS A MAN.
Virgil Turner shoots a Granger Near
Casper.

A Casper special to the Denver Ne,os
of yesterday is as follows: A serious and
perhaps fatal shooting ARRAY took.place on
a ranch about fifteen miles east of here
last evening. Virgil Turner, a boy Ia
years of age shot and it is believed fatally
wounded Deficit Krampofft, a granger, on
the ranch on which they were both EN-
ployed. 1t appears that they were in the
corral milking when d quarrel arose over
a calf that Turner wanted to turn out.
Krampofft objected and some hot words
follwed. Krampoft IS a large man, and
called Turner a hard name and threatened
to whip him in a few minutes. Turner is
but a boy whose life has been a series OF
suffs and, abuse. He was driven from
home about a year ago by the alleged cru
city of his father, and since then has
been cuffed from piller to post
by most every one with whom
he has come In contact, until r. B.
Brooks, a ranchman near Casper, picked
him up and encouraged him. When
Krampofft threatened to whip him he
became frightened and went to the bunk
house and obtained a 22-caliber rife.
When Krampofft came along he asked
him to take back what be said, but Kram-
pofft jumped forward and grabbed the
muzz!e of the gun and a struggle ensued.
Turner then pulled. the trigger and the
ball entered Krampofft's body on the left
side near the heart, and lodged somewhere
near the pericardium. He was brought
to town and is now lying at the point Of
death. Turner was arrested by Sheriff
Rice this morning and placed in jail to
await tie result of his victims injury.
He claims hat the shooting was done in
self defense. and the sympathy of the
community is with him.

RANGE CATTLE.
A Heavy Flood OF Them Now Pour
Ing Into Chicago.

rClay, Robinson & Cos Circular, Sept ISL
The receipts for the week will be about
$500 head, against 1900 head last
week, and IL. 900 head for the correspond
ing time in 1890. The food gates have
at last been opened, and a heavy stream Of
cattle has been poured upon the market
daily, prices for this class declining in
sympathy with all other grades, and the
advance made in values during the past
two weeks has been more than lost. The
market was slow to open Monday, bids
! re ten to thirty cents per hundred
pounds lower, but the bulk of che sup
plies were sold at prices ranging from ten
to fifteen cents per hundred pounds low
err than Friday. Tuesdays market was
slow, a few sales were made early atabout
steady prices. but the general market
rules five to ten cents per hundred pounds
lower. Wednesday values were marked
down ten to fifteen cents per hundred,
while on Thursday but few cattle changed
hands until concessions OF five to ten cents
per hundred pounds had been granted.
To-day with 8, 800 head on sale the mar
ket opens steady.
The weeks receipts are the heaviest of
the season, and values have declined
thirty to fifty cents per 100 pounds on all
grades. The quality and condition of
the offerings hold up well. but are light
in weight. The highest price of the week
was S.. 25, against S.. l24 last week. and
"a. 90 for the corresponding,,week last year.
The IS. 25 cattle were the property of
Dinwiddle Bros. fifty-two head, weighing
1892, sold to Ziegler for the Pittsburg
market, the beef OF which will compete
with cattle costing 5000. Forty-two
head of j. 7. Owens Montanas, weigh
l,4l5, sold on Wednesday at $500 per
100 pounds, which was virtually the top of
the market for this class. The Choteau
and Kohrs Il BIllenberg Montanas sold on
Monday at 81. 80, weighing LAOS pounds
and 1895. were very fine beeves. Liberal
receipts are in sight for the coming week,
and no Improvement In price can be
looked for. During the corresponding
week in 1888 receipts were heavy. and. it
was the turning point in the market for
this class, values declining fifty to seventy
five cents per 100 pounds, nor did he
decline cease until values were carried
down to the lowest point of the season,
and while this year came practically on
the same day as in 1888, we do not think
it will continue or prove as disastrous to
the shipper.
At South Omaha receipts were about
9, 900 head heavier than last week. The
best grades of steers are ten to twenty
cents per 100 pounds lower, medium
twenty to thirty cents per 100 pounds
lower. The demand for feeders was fair.
the best grades selling at steady prices,
while the common and medium kinds
were ten to fifteen cents per 100 pounds
lower. Cows and heifers were in liberal
supply and ten to twenty cents per 100
pounds lower.

Successful Hay Making.

y Pennsylvania correspondent in
Southern Farm has the following to saw
on the subject Of successful hay making:
The proper time 10 begin cutting hay is
during the latter part Of June. The grass
which contains most clover should be cut
first. The most OF our hay Is cut as soon
as posi- bic after the wheat is cut. as that
Is an excellent season for curing hay.
The mower should be started about
o'clock p. IN. and kept going until night
All hay that is too heavy TO dry of itself
should be turned or shaken up before
dinner time the next day. BY o'clock,
or soon after, the hay will be ready to
rake up and haul to the barn. If the hay
does not seem to be dry enough when
raked. ii should be allowed TO stand for
a few minutes, as all damp hay is turned
up, and ii will soon dry. If hay is put
up in this way, it viii not be necessary
to spend precious time in cooking it up,
and large amount can be put up in ex-
cellent condition. Hay should not be cut
after oats are ripe. The hay containing
the most clover should be stored away
in a separate place for the cows. Then
it can be obtained for use or for market.
The hay containing no clover may be
allowed to stand longer if intended for
horses, but viii be wasted by the cows.
This Is the manner in which our hay was
cured last year, and we have no trouble
in selling it, while others can hardly dis
pose OF theirs at all.
Hay should never be stacked, as, by
doing this. therei is a great amount spoiled,
and 1t is difficult to separate the spoiled
hay from the good hay When we have
hay that is sweet TO our own tastes, at
this time of the year, We may be sure we
have hay that the cows VIII appreciate
and that We have been successful, as far
as hay making Is concerned.
