grain trade. 1t is in the form OF an In
junction restraining the Lake Superior
Elevator and Union Improvement and
Elevator Company. Of Duluth. from de-
livering wheat on warehouse receipts
issued to A. d. Thompson, the wheat
for which came from the Northern
Elevator Company, which recently
went into the hands of receiver. The
injunction il q temporary one and the
hearing on the motion to make perma-

order ties up some 2.0O0, ,DOO bushels OF
wheat, about / 400. 600 bushels OF which
are held by A. ID. Thompson Of Duluth.
The other receipts are held by Spencer,
Moore & Co. and the Van D,,sen Il Har-
rington Company Of Minneapolis. The

straining order. but the receipts were
not declared irregular because they

much feeling in the trade over the fact
that it is possible for the court to tie
up. even temporarily, such quantity

INDEPENDENCE. Kan, special: Since
the recent hank robberies and the na-
merous attacks upon hanks, especially
those along the Nation line, the atten-
tion Of the proprietors has been turned
towards 4 device Of some kind that
would render banks and stores more
secure fEsm intruders. The institu-
tions OF this city have adopted plan
which will no doubt afford ample pro-
lection. 1t consists Of an electric bell
circuit between the four banks and
four OF the business houses in different
parts Of the town. In each institution
included within the circuit IL placed an
electric bell and in the floor near the
desk Of each empl0ye Is q button,
which, when pressed. causes the bells
in the other buildings TO ring, thus
spreading the alarm. Ii q gang OF out
laws should enter any Of the banks of
this city help could at once be sum-
moned and the robbers, instead OF es-
Gaping. woulG find themselves covered
with Winchesters.
CHICAGO special: The unwilling Of
the monument erected in the memory
OF the FIVE Anarchists, Spies, Parsons,
Fischer. Lingg and Engel, took place
Mt Weldheim Cemetery. More than

ground. The crowd was orderly and
the few policemen under whose protec-
ton the ceremony took place found
little to do beyond keeping the sympa-
thizers with anarchy In line as they
surged through the gates to the en-
closure. The character OF the
speeches could not be called incen-
diary. but rather that OF mild protest
against the existing order Of Govern
ment. The loud Orstory OF the days
when the red flag waved where II
pleased was gone, and all the enthusi-
asin the orators could bring from their
auditors WAS an occasional burst OF
applause, not very certain In its sound.
DEBEoUE, Colo, special: Another
raid was made by the cattlemen upon
the MGrmons' herd OF sheep now being
held in Bull Basin, in which several
hundred head Of sheep were killed by
bombs. A few days ago the Mormon
sheep owners pretended to be 1nAking
preparations for driving out, and in
consequence the cattlemen suspended
hostilities. Instead Of driving out,
however, the sheep men began making
preparations for . permanent Oecupa-
tiOn Of the land and lost no time III
Strengthening their defense. This,
with the report that another herd of
