CHICAGO, ILL, July 2.-Inestimable
loss Of property for wantof refrigerating
and transportation facilities is antici-
pated in the stock yards. The scarcity
of fruits, vegetables and milk is being
felt, and dealers are daily advancing
prices to cover the increased expenses Of
handling these perishable classes of
merchandise. The icemen too have found
it necessary to quadruple the regular
rates 10 their customers, to cover in part
the losses they sustained from the train
loads that stand melting on the side
tracks on almost every line. The storage
capacity OF the big beef houses at the
stock yards is crowded with enough
dressed beef to supply the city for many
days if it can he kept fresh. If ice can
not be had the meat will spoil on the
hooks.

had noticed that striker Jay in the
ditch alongside the train as it stopped,
and did not see the man as he slipped a
coupling. pin next to the cylinder head
in the guideways of the piston rod.
