THE MARKETS.

New York, March H-The net changes
an stocks to-day were irregular with
mostly losses prevailing. London quota
tions induced a lower range of prices at
the start here. Firmness in the call mon
ey market, which ranged from 3 to per
cent, was a depressing influence much
of the day, but with its easing off to ca
S1a per cent. before the close a rally set in
which wiped out earlier losses in some
stocks. Union Pacific, Northern Pacific.
Atchison preferred and Manhattan were
under perssure most of the day and dis
durbed confidence among the other rail-
ways, which were weak on moderate Of
ferings.
The weakness in Manhattan was per-
haps attributable to anticipation of the
new issue of stock. Fear of the possible
failure of desired legislation affected

was also some talk of increased competi-
ton.

y Theodore Lawrence, alias Whtworth.
was bound over to the district court
for trial yesterday for defrauding W.
B. Jenkins. Mrs. Mary Greeley, for
merly proprietress of the lodging house
over the Red Boot store, was also ar
rested yesterday in connection with the
alleged fraud and she and Lawrence
were arraigned at the same time be-
fore Justice Harrington. They waiv-
ssed examination and an order binding
them over in $500 bonds was made.
Later Mrs. Greeley's attorney asked to
have the order changed and his client
given a hearing. The county attorney
being agreeable, this was done, but no
date for the hearing was set. Mrs.
Greeley secured bail, but Lawrence was
unable to get bondsmen, and was COM
united.
- The case is one that was filed be-
fore Justice Iaurandeau last Decem-
her, but Lawrence made himself scarce
and nothing was done in it. Recently
aae reappeared, evidently supposing the
matter had blown over, but his vic
tim saw him on the street few days
ago and notified the police. He was
arrested Monday and Mrs. Greeleys
ARREST followed yesterday.
THE story of the case is said to be
this: Lawrence applied to w. B. Jen-
lsihs for a loan on some furniture in
the lodging house presided over by
Mrs. Greeley, representing that he own
ed 1t. jenkins went to see the furni-
ture and was told by Mrs. Greeley that
Lawrence owned the furniture. Jen-
kins let Lawrence have s55 and took
a mortgage on the furniture. Time
passed and the mortgage fell due. Law
renee repudiated the debt and Jenkins
sought to foreclose only to discover
that the furniture did not belong to
Lawrence, and never had Jenkins
suspected there had been a combina-
tion made to beat him, and called on
Mrs Greeley and asked her why she
had told him the furniture belonged
4to Lawrence. She frankly replied be-
cause she had been told to by Law
renee.
The complaint, which was filed Dec
Il. and alleges the fraud was commit
ted on Dec 6, charges both defendants
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.

This afternoon he stated that the sheep
men have all had moro or less losses.
especially since the last thaw and
freeze-up, which left the range covered
with ice, SO that the sheep cannot set
TO the grasses. Some of the losses have
been quite heavy from this cause. and
there have also been considerable losses
from the feeding of poisoned hay. Au-
gust Kropp also lost about co head Of
sheep through the falling of a shed, the
roof of which was overWeighted with
snow.
Some time during the last of January.
just before the big storm, a man named
ranch of George Mackie, left the ranch
on foot and has never been heard of
since. 1t is feared by some that he
was lost in the storm and persisted.
He left wife and family al the Mackie

over his disappearance. So far as is
known he had had no trouble with
any one, and there was no reason for
his leaving as he did. He was between
