HORSE THIEF IN LIMBO.

Last Thursday evening a young
man from a few miles east of town
came in to witness the production
of the "Tornado' at the auditorium
tying his horse and leaving chapps,
and other acoutrements near the
blacksmith shop on Grand street.
On returning for his steed after the
show, he found that she entire out
fit had disappeared. Suspicion
pointed toward one Andy White
head, who worked ON the h. B. Hat
ley ranch for a number of years,
and a warrant was issued for that
individuals arrest. Constable
Lanning found Whitehead at the
Creedon place, near Hatley's late
last evening, and proceeded to read
the warrant for his arrest A search
of the premises revealed the stolen
saddle, chapps, ETC., in Whitehead's
trunk, bnt Whitehead, taking ad-
vantage of momentary relaxing
of vigilance on the part of the otli-
Ger, made a dash for liberty in the
darkness. After u long search the
whereabouts of the escaped culprit
were again learned, and the CON
stable had a merry chase across
the fields, but at last, assisted by a
horseman, captured his man. In
the race Lanning came in forcible
contact with barbed wire fence,
that for a few minutes laid him on
his back breathless. In the pur-
suit he fired number of shots at
Whitehead. The constable has
later found the horse in a field
where it was turned loose after the
theft.

the wheat market, and the hopes of
every resident of the PaIouse coun-
try have been realized, the price Of
the staple cereal having doomed
upward till a profitable and living
figure is now offered.
The market opened strong Mon
day, the offer then being 47cts.
The rise since then has been con-
tinu2l, and many of the farmers
who were holding for 50cts sold
when that figure was reached.
Today the market is exception
ally strong, the quotation being 50
cents and better, and as high as go
cents was offered for special lots by
noon. The tendency is still up
ward, and a large number are yet
holding, although many others are
thoroughly satisfied with present
prices, and immense quantities Of
grain are changing hands. The
sales of the week have put con
siderable amount of cash in the
country. If the present price con
tinues the hard times of the Pa
louise country will be banished, and
peace and plenty will rule.
The reasons of the advance in
the wheat market are stated in the
market report Of Downing, Hop
kins q Co., Chicago board of trade
brokers, from their Spokane office,
as follows; "Our L. S. crop, accord
ing to the best authority, is 1O0,-
i 100000 bushels short of last year.
Argentine has exported but 7O0O,-
900 bushels so far this season
against 4O,O00,00O bushels for the
same times last year, and 55,OOO,-
900 bushels for the same period in
1894 and India instead Of export
ing wheat to other nations is buy
ing now in both Liverpool and
American markets. 1t is also es-
timated, by good authority, that
importing countries will need 4OO,-
. 100000 bushels of wheat and eX
porting countries will have about
3S8, 100000 bushels to spare. For
the past seven weeks our exports
from both coasts have been almost
double what they were for the same
period last year and at the present
rate our surplus will be gone in less
