WHEAT FLUCTUATING.
Excitement on Chicago Board Con.
tinues-COnflicting crop Damage
Reports = Cold Weather
Predicted.

Chicago, May 25.-Everything again
opened lower on the board of trade to-
day. July wheat started at 75I and
quickly dropped to AZ. The lending
causes for the depression we're the reports
of general rains throughout most of the
wheat belt, easier cables and scattering
reports that the damage to crops by the
unfavorable weather had been exagger-
ated. A lot of buying orders were then
reached, Baldwin & Farnum especially
taking heavy lines, and the price rallied
to 761a.
Later.-On the weather bureaus predic-
tion of much colder weather in the west
with killing frosts in Nebraska, Min
nesota and the Dakotas, July wheat
touched 1925. Farmers in the gallery,
who had held on their wheat through
good and evil reports, we're dancing, but
the opportunity to unload at big profit
was too good to be resisted by the pro-
fessionals, whose sales broke the market
to 7s1s.
The market closed 49, 4 for July, within
a cent of the top prices of the day.

OSCAR WILDE CONVICTED.
English Justice ViDdfcated-The
POetical Beast and His AssO-
ciate Get Two Years at
Hard Labor.

London, May 25.-The Old Bailey court
room was filled with interested spectators
to-day. Sir Frank Lockwood, solicitor
general, concluded his address to the jury
in the Wilde case. The prisoners init
macy with Lord Alfred Douglass and the
exhibition of the young man by the elder
one at hotels and public places in and
about London we're severely commented
upon by the counsel. Referring to the
letters Wilde wrote to Lord Alfred Doug
lass, counsel said that the jury had been
told that they we're too low to appreciate
such poetry, and he thanked God it was
30, as it showed they were above the level
of beasts.
Sir Edward Clarke, the leading counsel
for Wilde, here interposed an objection
to such appeals.
Lockwood asked the jury to render
verdict which would prevent "such de-,
testable and abominable vices from rear
ing their heads unblushingly in the coun-
try"
Justice Wills began summing up at 80
p. m. The general tenor of his address
was favorable to Wilde.
The jury was out four hours. At the
end of that time the jury rendered YER
dict of guilty and a sentence of two years.
imprlso nment at hard labor was imposed
on Wilde and also on his associate, Alfred
TAYLOR.

Monat on irnsiness.

Denver, Colo, May 25.-President D.
Fl. Moffat of the First National bank has
returned from New York. He says that
the subject of bimetallism is climbing
the ladder of public opinion. "Of course"
said Mr.. Moffat, "the bankers are all gold
STANDARD men. The merchants and bust
ness men, however, look upon the situa-
tion differently. The bankers are not
really so much opposed to the remonetiza-
tion of silver, but they think it is useless
for our country to try to establish the
double standard alone. But there is lot
of talk about silver, a,l ] find that a
great many prominent men are looming
in ont of the wet on this question.
"Business is dull and moneyed men are
looking for Investments, and as there is
no field for investment there ex pect they
will be looking into the Colorado gold
producing districts. Colorado securities
are looked upon with more favor than
they have been. think that this ex pres
sion of confidence is due to the fact that
very large amount of gold is being pro-
duced in this state. l look for big fight
for bimetallism all over tho east, from
this time on. think the silver senti-
ment will influence the next national con-
ventions for our friends are making a
strong and persistent fight and will not
let it drop"

MURDERED IN TEXAS.
Bodies of the Murdered Cr0cker Fam
lily FOund-Full OF Bullet Holes
Result Of a fractional Feud.

Wharton, Texas, May 25.-The bodies
of three murdered members of the Crock
er family have been found ON an open
prairie, about two miles from where the
ASSASSINATION occurred. All are full of
bullet holes, that off Crocker indicating
that after he was dead the murderers
emptied their guns into him time after
time. The bloody work was done by a
faction opposed to Crocker remaining in
the country any longer. Two years ago
Crocker's house WAS burned. Last winter
Mrs. Crocker killed man, and, on the
afternoon of the killing, member of the
mob fred on Crocker and was thereupon
killed by Crocker. Young Crocker also
sent ono member of the mob out of the
world. There are now ten men under ar
rest, one is said to have made full con-
fessiOn.

CALIFORNIA FRUITS.
Eastern shippers Secure Reliable
Data In Order to Set at the
Market Outlook.

San Francisco, May 5.-Washington
Porter, of the fruit-shipping firm OF
Porter Bros. in Chicago, who has been
out here some weeks looking up the crop
prospects, left for the east yesterday. In
speaking of this years fruit crop he said
"Of cherries there will be half the usual
crop. Apricots in the valley have been
killed largely and the crop will be light,
while that of Bartlett pears will be only
about oue-third good crop the state
over. OF plums there will be small
quantity. Peaches are the only thing of
which there will be full crop, if they are
not burned before the leaves get out.
"But still the fruit-growers will come
out better this year than in an ordinary
season. Last year, with the strike and
heavy crops and low prices, they were
working for nothing and paying their
board. This year they will get high
prices. The heavy frosts they have had
in the east along Lake Erie will help
California great deal. The railroad has
arranged to put on fast trains to put the
fruit through to Chicago in 1870 hours.
This will be done Ms soon as there is
enough fruit moving to make up trains
of ten cars or more and will be of great
advantage in getting the fruit to market
in good condition.

LYNCHED IN ILLINOIS.
Sensational Affair at Danviiie-Two
Young Men Hanged for Brutaiiy
AssauIting Two Girls-SherlT
and Judge Defied by the Hob
-Aitgeld Blamed.

Danville, H., May 25.-John Halls, jr
and VIM. Royce, two young men of nn
savory reputation, who assaulted Mis-
Laura Barrett and Miss Lillian Draper
were hanged to the Gilbert street bridge
the scene of their crime, at $3.50 thii
morning. On the way to the bridge from
the Jail procession was formed taking
the boys through the main street. Halls
and Royce both walked with firm steE
with the rope around their necks.
Royce wanted to see his father and de.
lay followed. His father did not come
Halls said he was not ashamed of what
he had done. They would not jump and
were both thrown over the bridge railing
at 3:45. They dropped thirty feet and
death followed, both expiring in fearful
convulsions. Their faces we're not coy
cred. They hung side by side on the
east railing. From midnight, when the
crowd first made its appearance at the
Jail doors, until the victims we're reached,
it was determined, desperate struggle of
frenzied mob battling against heavy
oaken doors and iron bars, occasionally
halted by the grim stand of a little band
of defenders of law and order. under
command of Sheriff Thompson. tele-
graph pole was used as battering ram.
At 2 o'clock Sheriff Thompson sent for
Judge Bookwalter, of the circuit court,
who addressed the crowd from the Jail
corridor. He counseled peace and order
and for minute his words were needed.
Then another desperate attempt was
made to reach the cells where the two
men were secreted. Finally Royce was
located crouching and shivering with
fear. His cell door was quickly battered
down. score of hands uncerem niously
dragged him from his hiding place un-
derneath wooden bench which served
the prisoners as bed. He was hustled
into the dining room and seated on a
table. rope was placed over his head,
and, while part of the mob kept close
guard over him, others continued the
search for Halls until he was discovered
in another and more remote portion of
the jail.
Perhaps the most sensational incident
of the lynching occurred during Judge
Bookwalter's address to the mob. At first
his words had telling effect, but the
leaders, including the most prominent
men in the county, replied: "Yos, we
know that the jury will convict them and
give them severe sentence, but Gov.
Altgold will pardon them out. He re-
Gently pardoned three brutes You sent up
from Champaign county for twenty
years. If another man than Altgeld was
governor we would not lynch these men

The mob was composed of thousands
of people, mostly farmers from near In
dianola, where Miss Barrett lived. In
the Jail, before being taken out, the boys
protested their innocence, although iden-
titled by Miss Barrett's companion yes
terday at the Jail. Royce slowly strangled,
his struggles lasted fifteen minutes. Miss
Barrett, one of the victims, hovers be-
tween life and death.

STONEROAD vs.. STONEROAD.
U. S. Supreme Court Decision Affect
ing the Beck Grant-A Difference
Of 100000 Acres.

The u. s. supreme court has announced
a decision in the long pending case of
Stoneroad vs.. Stoneroad, which is oe
much interest to citizens of San Miguel
county and claimants of the Preston
Beck grant, tract which covers much of
the choicest land lying between the
Pecos river and the Las Vegas grant.
James p. Stoneroad, the plaintiff in
error, settled on section of land some
twenty miles south of Las Vegas, entering
same under the U. S. land laws. Geo. W.
Stoneroad, his uncle and one of the own
ers of the Beck grant, brought an action
of ejectment against him claiming that
the land was not sub ject TO entry as it
was within the limits of the Beck grant
as described in the original Mexican title
papers, but outside of the grant bound
aries as surveyed and approved by the
U. S. general land office.
The Beck grant was confirmed by con
gress according to the old method of
meets and bounds as designated by nat
ural biects. The grant claimants con
tended that they held over 100000 acres,
but the government survey gave them
318,699.72 acres, excluding nearly 100000
acres, which, 1t was claimed, did not be-
long to the grant, but was public domain.
It was on part of this disputed strip that
James p. Stoneroad entered, and the suit
was instituted as a test case to fix the
area of the Beck grant.
The San Miguel district court and the
territorial supreme court, in 1887, decided
in favor of the grant owners. The United
States supreme court now reverses this
action, and the apparent effect of the de-
cision is to fix the area of the grant as
originally surveyed by the governments,
at 318,699.72, thus throwing open fine
section of land covering nearly 100000
acres. Positive information on this point,
however, can not be had until the full
text of the opinion is received from
Washington.
The U. s. supreme court has also re-
Gently decided the case of Chief Justice
Thomas Smith, who, while serving as U.
s. district attorney, brought suit in the
court of claims to recover mileage fees
due him as such official, claiming that the
mileage allowance item ought not to be
included by the government In making
up the maximum compensation paid to
u. s. attorneys. The court of claims de-
cided in his favor and on appeal by the
government the U. 8. supreme court
affirms that decision. Ex. U. s. Attorney
Z. A. Fiske has about $4,000 in fees also
hung up at Washington under similar
circumstances.
