courts.
The order from the assistant chief Of
police prohibited either organization
from holding a meeting on the paved
streets, but gave them permission to
parade.
a reporter that the order would be de-

enforce it no matter what measures
were necessary.

the obstruction of the streets and every
one who takes part in any meeting of
the kind is included in the order San

fined for obstructing the streets. We
appealed the case. but it was never
tried. Since then the street meetings
have been uninterrupted. Last night

MARSHALL KILLS A WOMAN.
Chasing Him With Razor at Strong
City and He Shot Her.


Strong City, July 24-Sunday morn
ing City Marshal John Gates ordered
some negroes from the Santa Fe depot
platform just previous to the arrival
of the train. Among them was man
named Johnson and his wife. Both
started to go away. Suddenly the wo-
man turned back. and at the same time
thrusting her hand into her bosom and
pulling out a knife. With an oath that
no man could drive her away, she
started for the officer. who backed
away, at the same time pulling his
pistol and telling the woman to stop.
She paid no heed to his warning, but
rushed on him with the knife, threat
ening to cut out his heart
Gates attempted to get away from
her, being unable to do so, shot her,
the ball striking her in the neck and
causing death in a few moments. The
woman had an unsavOry record, and
was known in EmpOria and elsewhere
by the name of Jane Walker. After
the shooting negroes assembled in con-
sidera BILE force about the depot and in
dulged in threats of Iynching. The wO-
mans husband was especially vehement
and swore he would kill Gates. This
afternoon he was arrested and placed
under bond, being unable to furnish
which he was placed in jail. The peo-
pie of Strong City are almost unan-
imOus of the opinion that Gates was
justified in shooting in order to save his
own life. 10 further trouble is antici-
pated.

WHEAT-A very unsatisfactory market
today in wheat, with fluctuations of
very erratic nature. Early traders were
surprised at cable news, both from the
United Kingdom and the continent, which
of strong character, and reported
damage to French crops by rains On the
other hand the news from the spring
wheat country was constrSed as good, the
weather there being perfect and in some
instances harvesting Progressing- The
early advance was met by free selling on
the part of those who had calls and a
slight reaction took place. Visible supply
was larger than most OF the trade looked
for Hesitancey on the part of buyers
was noticeable and the market saSged
trifie lower. There appears to be a trifie
better speculative feeling in the market
and with any confirmation of further
damage abroad will result in better mar
kets here. The trade sees but thing
and that is our large stocks at the mo-
ment.
CORN-Corn was quiet and steady, in
clined to follow wheat, and all day within
CSC range. July has ben relatively firm,
half cent over September, and cash peo-
pie say it is easier to sell than to buy
corn. Not much business doing, asIt this
is because of the Smallness of country Of
