Cattlemen are Confident.


 While the demand for feeders con tinues good In the great corn states, wt
 do no anticipate any considerable nov
 ement of cattle from Arizona this fall There are several reasons for this view
 Steer are comparatively scarce in the
 territory and the shortage is generally
 kDovni consequently few buyers for
 that class Of cattle sill come into this section
 2. Many of the rsnchers made the
 mistake of selling or contracting their cattle too early las, winter, losing sev- eral dollars per head by so doing. They are resolved not to commit the same error again and are, therefore, asking more than the buyers are willing to give.
 3. Since tho stockmen are generally in good circumstances they feel ln- dependent and are not dlsposed to &C., cept for thelr steers much less than they e1pact to realize n them next spring. The majority on them do not want Co sell and are. therefore, in- clined to bull the market. There are, of course, ezceptisns-persons who have special reasons for wanting to sell who are skeptical ss to the alleged shortage of cattle; but from converse tions with 8 large number of represen- tatiye stockmen we believe that the above statement oescribes the situa. tion at this end of he line.

women had attracted crowd. Mr..
Miteton undertook to arrest the fell

young woman living on lower Prince
street, took an overdose of laudauum

failed to act. She is thought to be in q
critical condition. In the summer of
