A White Man Charged With Assau1ting a
COIOred GirI-COIored Folks May Mob.
ATCHIsoN. June 13-W. H. Ballard
was arrested at the home of his brother
in-law, George Cross, near Halls station,
and brought to Atchison. When Consta-
BILE McAfferty appeared at the home of
Cross, the latter was much surprised to
know that there was a charge against
him. When told that Ballard was charged
with assaulting a coloreG girl, he was
very much disguised The colored peo-
pie are bitter against Ballard, and Con-
stable McAfferty, in order to avoid any
possibility of mob violence, took his
prisoner off the train on the Missouri
side of the bridge. There was a large
number of colored men at the depot, but
he was taken to jail in a round about
way so that they did not see him. Bal
lard vigorously denies the crime he is
charged with, but Constable McAfferty
says the state has a very strong case
against him.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Ex-
change, Room 3, Columbian Building.
The talent raided wheat again early
but could not prevent a rally later of 2
cents. The bullish news was of usual
order, bad crop reports and disappoint-
ing threshing returns. VIM Bergan and
Co.. from San Francisco, wired that the
California crop had been damaged 25
per cent by hot winds and rust. The
weather predictions are for dry weather
and warmer from Ohio and Michigan to
the Rockies only light showers in scat
tered localities have fallen, and the
drouth remains unbroken in the principal
winter wheat states. The Liverpool corn
trade news estimates that owing to the
lateness to the crop abroad and the ex-
haustion of Argentine supplies Europe
will be forced TO come to America for
supplies. The situation grows more
bullish every day but local operators
continue to fight any upward tendency.
Corn and oats were but little affected
by the wheat, crop reports are improv-
ing and it will be hard to bull them
while the news continues favorable.
Provisions closed where they did yes
terday and done very little all day.
