The Robbers Roost gang is headed bg
a man named Moore, who was chased
out OF Texas, and according to his own
statements had a chance to go to the
penitentiary there but did not avail
himself OF, the privilege. This crowd
is composed CT cattle stealers and men
who would do almost anything. They
got the credit for the hold-up of Car
penter at Castle Gate, but some incline
to the belief that the Powder Springs
gang had hand in that also.

If the governors of the three states
do decide to go after them, it is be-
ieved there viii be considerable fun
before the gangs are captured or wiped
out, but the movement viii, no doubt,
be an aggressive one, and the outlaws
shown no mercy il they decline to sur
render.
Pat Johnson, the man who killed VII

A Photographic Novelty.

Charlie Johnson has succeeded in
photographing the vast audience that
was present at the concert in the tab
ernacle at the Stephens benefit. The
stereoscopic views show the faces of
thousands of persons, many of which
can be distinguished and recognized.
1t is a wonderful sight to behold such

Especial to The Herald
Cheyenne, Wyo, March 5.-In an in

he is willing To cooperate with ad-
joining states in the work of extermi-
mating the Robbers Roost band of out
laws. Being a large cattle owner him
self, and in times past having suffered
losses from the depred2tions of the
gang, he is more than anxious that
the outlaws be run down and cap
tured. Citizens of central Wyoming
are also deeply interested in the eX-
termination Of the Robbers Roost
thieves, as there are a large number
of old Hole in the WalI' rustlers in
the band and it is feared if they are
not captured they will return to their

July Wheat Advanced-Ccrn Lower
Oats Dull, Provisions Weak

Chicago, March 5.-The opening in wheat
was steady. July starting unchanged at
90i4d9O2.. and bringing s01s moment
later. May showed an opening &c adj
vance at Los. The Ohio state crop report
which made the condition of winter wheat
/ 80 per cent below the average. was sur
! prise to the trade. previous reports being
that conditions were promising and
caused momentary strength. Then prices
commenced to drop. 1t was reported that
Armour had ordered 500 cars to load with
wheat at Minneapolis for shipment to
Duluth. This was taken by many traders
as indicating a repetition of the great
run of wheat to Chicago which took place
last December and resulted not only in
the Withdrawing of support but also in
/ heavily increased offerings. Prices slid
off in consequence, July getting down to
S.GS97s. The fluctuations in May were
very irregular and a good deal of n<vous
ness was shown. From the opening the
market dropped quickly to 1.041s. This was
followed by d, quick recovery to 1.05h, and
market, both for May and July, began
to recover.
On the first decline May buying on a
large scale was started, and during tEs
first hours trading probably a million
bushels changed hands. This was sup
posed to be mostly for northwest shorts.
Commission houses were all large buyers,
getting small of the May from the Letter
people. This sudden increase in the de-
mand for May brought local shorts in
July into the market and with the ad-
slowly advanced. There were rumors
current that the Letter holdings in the
northwest had been sold to mjllers. They
were not confirmed. but nevertheless had
effect. Near the close the market became
quit stronge. Buying became quite liberal
and general. and May. which had adj
vanced to 1.05%. advanced quickly to Los.
but had reacted by closing time to 1.05%.
July got up to the best prices of the day,
90Ss G907s, and closed firm at 90%s.
Liquidation of long corn was the feature
a
Germ disDosing of a heavy line. The i'm
provement in wheat late in the session
resulted in better support being given, and
the decline was recovered. May closed
a shade lower.
The market for oats was very dull. May
closed unchanged.
Provisions were weak all day. There
was continued selling by the packing in
terests prominent in yesterdays hquida-
ton and prices tended steaoily downward
At the close May pork was 7lsd10 cents
lower; May lard, cents lower; May ribs,
~ cents lower.

however, earnestly wish the abolition

"Telegrams from Porto Rico an

been ordered to defend themselves as

to retreat to the capital.
'It Is feared that the Americans will
easily secure San Juan, various otii-

not likely to resist. The garrison Of
San Juan will fight heroically. They
are not hampered, as was the garrison
of Santiago, with lack of food and

tined for Cuba having accumulated
