II. A. Foster of WinOna, Ntinn., Com
trolls the Egg Market.
Chicago, Feb. 10.-R. A. Foster Of
Winona, Mimi, is the happiest man in
Chicago. He had just cornered the
egg market of the United States and
the colder it grows and the longer the
cold spell lasts the greater the profit
he will realize from his speculation.
eggs are 35 cents dozen in New
York" he said. Before another sun
goes down may make them 4Oc. Or
may stop their supply altogether and
eggs that were laid before the Nc
Kinley bill became law"
Mr.. Foster is the principal in the
firm of r. A. Foster & Co., of Winona.
Mimi. the most extensive egg shippers
west of Chicago. Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and the Dakotas is the territory Oh
which the firm depends for it's supplies.
During last spring when the prices
were low the firm gathered in all the
eggs which it could secure and put
them in cold storage. In the ordinary
movement Of trade the big "block" of
eggs thus accumulated kept intact. 1t
amounted to several thousand cases.
The Foster company was often ap-
pealed to when there was a big de-
mand for eggs, to break into the re-
serve. 1t always declined to do so,
preferring to wait the time when So
we're cold spell would give it control Of
the market the time came few
days ago when the billiards. and the
snow came. and the man from Winona
is now dictator in the world of aggs.

Payments to Settlers ON the Dcs
Moines River Lands.
Sioux City, Iowa, Feb 10-The COM
missioner from the interior department
has completed his report for the dis
tribution of the 100000 appropriated
by congress to clear titles of settlers
on Des Moincs river lands and the
payments will be made soon. In 1916
the dispute over the title to the lands
began. 1t resulted from conflicting
grants by state and federal govern
ments, and involved all public land
within five miles on either side of the
Des Nloines above the Raccoon river:
Bills to quiet the title in the settlers
passed congress twice. Cleveland We
toing both. Then bill passed to ap-
propriate money to buy the titles from
the Des NIoines Navigation company,
which has been held by the supreme
court to hold the fee. About 1,5OO
people will nave their titles made good.
The settlers have impoverished them
selves for more than a generation
fighting the case in courts and congress
and many have been evicted by force.

detained as captives by the Bannock In

their escape. Nothing has TRANSFERRED to
indicate what is going ON except THAT a
movement of an armed body of troops
from the fort is apparent. as wagons are
being loaded with supplies today and
everything is activity. Preparations are
going forward for some kind of a move
ment. but with only AZ men at the post
it will not be a formidable army:
The people here are indignant that Fort
Washable has been neglected, but they
have great faith that General Coppinger

THIRSTY VILLAIN IN

OOOLLY SHOT DOWN SEVERAL
PERSONS.
One Shot Kills a Mother and Wounds
the Babe in Her Arms-The 10
Year Old Daughter and Two
NephewS Also Killed.

New Orleans, July 21.-LaSt Friday
night, ON the Terre Haute plantation in
st. Johns parish, terrible butchery of
human beings took place
While Rosario Giordano and his family
were steated at the supper table, Joe
Noska walked up to the door, and level
ling double barrelled shot gun fired.
Mrs. Giordano, fell to the flooor, corpse
and the bullets that did not strike her
went through the legs OF the infant she
had in her arms. Giordano, fearing that
the baby would be killed in the fall, grab
bed it and received a charge of shot in the
arm and leg. The 10-year-old girl, GU
seeing her mother fa,l ram forward and
received a portion of the load of shot
that struck her father. The shot entered
her abdomen, literally tearing 1T to pieces.
AT the same time, little Nicolina fell to
the floor wounded through the head, the
assassin, Joe Noska, did not move from
the spot, but when he saw Beneditto
Giordano, nephew of the dead woman,
and Charlie Columbano coming toward
him, he coolly placed two fresh shells in
his gun and waited until they got very
close to him. Then he raised the gun
and fired both barrels, the two men fall
ing on the ground dead. Then the
murderer, throwing his gum over his
shoulder, made his escape to the woods.
When the citizens ascertained the eX-
tent of the deed, they organized a posse
and, led by the sheriffs, attempted to cap
ture the assassin. The wounded We're
brought to Charity hospital in this city.
They are:
Rosario Giodano, the unfortunate head
of the family, aged 81 years, shot in the
left thigh.

the abdomen, the bullets perfOrating the
bladder and intestines.

Mr.. Giordano says he does not know
how he had offended NOska, who was a
laborer on the place, except THAT on one
occasion the overseer, who is a friend of
his, told the man ITO do some chores.

with this. GiordanO had been living on
the plantation with his family for the
past few years. Last October NOsl1a
