BEEF TRADE WITH GERMANY.
Consul Hughes Points Out Chances
FOR Ment Exports.

In regard to the market for American
beef in Germany, Consul Hughes, of Co
burg, Germany, writes as follows to the
State Department:
Il would call attention to the opening
for American fresh beef in this consular
district, in spite of the regulations against
its Importation. If some of the large Chi
cagO concerns would establish proper
agencies-like those in any of the smaller
towns of the United States-and Sc
them as feeders for the surrounding vii
lagos the business would, without doubt,
pay from almost the start. But the same
amount of push is necessary in Germany
as at nome to make anything a success.
I have repeatedly shown persons who have
written to this consulate for information
how they could do a large and paying
business in provisions. but they all want to
send their goods c. O. d. This cannot be
done German merchants wish TO see the
article they are buying. and also to have
three months credit
The local trader is honest, but he must
have time or he cannot do business. The
poorer people in Thuringia live almost
exclusively on potatoes, black bread and
beer. We take their dolls and china; they
want our beef; why not let them have it?"

'All the sheep herders left the reserva-

Their camp outfits were abandoned The
sheep were scattered by the Indians, and
there is no doubt that hundreds were
killed. Afterward when the herders went
back to collect them many could not be
found.
There was a rather curious council at
the fort, called by Agent Myton, to con
slider the capture of the Indian who had
killed another at the Ouray Agency.
'Mr Myton told them he wanted them

didn't like the job. But a squaw, a sister
of the dead Indian, came in and made an
eloquent speech of an hour. She told them
to be men, to be braves, and so worked
them up that they decided TO go. But they
will not go in posse. 1t is generally under
stood that they have sent one or two of
their number to waylay the murderer and

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
4 Better Feeling in Wheat, With
Corn and Oats steady.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-Wheat was frmer
today. There was less liquidation OF De-
cember and fair buying of May wheat by
local operators, who believed that it is
really due. Liverpool was steady, closing
at 1-4d1-2d higher. Primary receipts
were 600 bushels less than last year;
clearances, 625, 600 bushels
Corn was rather easy for December,
rather steady for January and May, but
the fluctuations were within lac and the
last price barely 1-Sc away from Mondays
close. There was some December Hqui-
dation. The shipping demand was not
good, embarrassed by a further advance in
the lake rates. There were liberal sea-
board clearances Liverpool was of l Id

Oats We're steady, although the fuctua-
tions were narrow, prices up about l-Sc.
There has been for a fortnight a better
cash demand for oats than for corn, and
such was the case today. Receipts 253
cars, with 130 for tomorrow. The contract
stock, only 467 600 bushels, showed a de-
crease for the week of 22S 600 bushels.

SAVED FROM THE UTEs.
Narrow Escape of n Deputy Marshal
From Indignant Indians.
lFrom the sat Lake HeraId)

There was much excitement on the Ute
Indian reservation as a result of the shoot
ing Of Mountain Sheep by James Olsen,
and Deputy United States Marshal Smythe,
who brought the prisoner from Fort
Duchesne, had a taste of it himself Dep
uty Smythe arrived with the prisoner and
placed him safely in the penitentiary, but
he was successful by a narrow margin.
The Indians made every effort they dared
to - at Olsen to kill him, but they were
foiled. The deputy marshal was to leave
Fort Duchesne on Thursday with the pris-
oner but there were several Indians lurk-
ing about when the stage started, and
he concluded to wait a day. The Indians
did not know what was to become of Olsen,
whether he would be taken to Price or
turned loose and permitted to go to Vernal,
so they watched in every direction

fact that he was on the stage and thus give
the marksman his opportunity.
There were only three on the stage
Olsen, the driver and myself. About four
or five miles from the fort we came upon
seven of eight Indians. Before they saw
Olsen, who was much afraid. l hid him
under the seat and drew the laprobe over
him. They rode up and separated, coming
past on each side. l had pulled out a
cigar and was quietly smoking to throw
them off their guard. Although they looked
closely, they saw nothing. We saluted and
they rode on back. Those fellows had
come more than sixty miles and had been
camped out for a week TO get Olsen, but
they didn't have nerve to attack the stage
when he was not in sight.
'Olsen made a sensational ride to reach
Fort Duchesne after the shooting He
knew that Red Cap, the Indian who saw the
shooting, would notify all the other In
dians and they would be after him.
Though his horse was tired he rode sixty
miles between 3 o'clock in the afternoon
and 10 at night to the fort. He kept away
from the trails and went over a very rough
route, going across patches of stones and
