THE news IN BRIEF

Great Falls.-Bob Finley, bartender in
the Merchants hotel at Havre and for
merly employed by the Great Northern
railway, was fatally shot yesterday
morning at Havre by Constable George
w. Hossack. About 2 o'clock in the
morning Hossack, who is acting night
policeman had an argument with a COL
ored man whom he had previously order
ed out of town. Hossack drew his revolt
yer and 1t was discharged. The bullet
missed the colored man, but struck Fin
ley in the right breast, passing through
the lung and liver and coming out above
the hip. Finley died an hour and a half
later. .ttee
Miles C%ity.-John Hurley, a boy II years
old, was killed by lightning last evening
about 6 o'clock. He and William Thomp-
son, a boy of about the same age, got off
their horses during the storm and stood
by a fence, catching hold of the wires,
when the shock came, knocking both boys
down. When getting ~, Hurley caught
hold Of the wire again, when a second
shock came. He let go of the wire. made
two steps towards his horse and fell dead.
He was at his fathers ranch, two miles
from town.
Tacoma, Wash.-The ownership of the
townsite of Index, which is the center of
the Washington copper belt and valuable
lands in the same section, is involved in
a sensational suit filed in the federal court
Saturday by p. c. Hendricks Of Montana,
against the First National bank of Ever
EFT, the Terminal Land & Milling COM
pany of Snohomish and numerous indi-
viduals.
The suit is brought in the interest of
the stockholders of the Terminal Land
a large number of whom live
in Montana and the east. According to
the statement of Attorney Hastings,
counsel for the plaintiff, these stock
holders lived in peaceful contemplation
Of the revenue they were to derive from
Index townsite property and their MINER
al lands until two months ago, when they
awoke to a realization Of the situation.
On the strength Of an alleged loan of
$3.50, the company is alleged to have
fraudulently lost the property, valued in
the complaint at $4,000.
"Some of the stockholders" said Mr..
| Hastings, claimed it is worth 500 900.
There are GOO town lots outside Of the
mineral land involved"
Mr.. Hendricks claimed that transact
tons through which the First National
bank of Everett got control Of the Ter
minal Land company's property consti-
tutes a big fraud and that in taking the
case into court he is acting in he inter-
ests Of the alleged defrauded ~stockhold-
ers. His main contention is that the COM
| pany did not need a loan of $3.50, and that
the same was improper and illegal.
The court is asked to restore the prop
! erty to the Terminal Land company, that
| the stockholders may not be defrauded
of their rights.

Mamie Smith, a colored girl who was
arrested on Galena street last night on a
charge of insufficient attire. was in court
this morning. 1t seems that the officer
who made the arrest was of the opinion
that the woman's skirt was too short to
meet the demands of propriety. The
Smith woman had the skirt in court this
morning to show just how long it was.
and this was her undoing. She was fined

CHICAGO, August Wheat was
that more than any news closed at
about A09sc decline. The large Wis
ible increase was a bear feature. Corn
was weak on the new crop futures,
but steady for September the latter
closing a shade higher, while Deem
Der declined 1s@Ac. Oats closed I'M
changed. Provisions closed without
significant change. The most promi-
nent feature of wheat trading through
out the entire session was its exceeding
dizziness. Interest in trading, never
very great during the hot summer
months, in the wind led to insignifi-
cant proportions to-day and the sum
total first transactions was hardly as
great as has frequently been seen dur
ing lively half hour. Variations in
the price were confined to range OF
2se in September and but a shade ov-
er that in the more distant futures.
Mainly because of this dullness, the
market showed more or less weakness.
September opened BQAc lower at
663sc. Weather in the spring wheat
belt was favorable and this caused a
little languid selling at first. enough
to put the price at 69e. The favorable
weather was in a measure offset by re-
ports of disappointing yields from
various points and by bad crop reports
from European countries. \ moderate
covering movement ensued, carrying
September to 69Ac. Up TO the noon
hour the price kept close to that figure,
but after that time the neglected mar
ket developed more weakness, Septem-
Der getting back to 69c again. This
was put price, and several little rallies
occurred on buying against these priv
ileges, but the support was substan-
tai and the market invariably worked
back to the lower figure. The cash de-
mand was small Primary receipts

REV YORK, August There has
been no change in the character of the
spot demand for cotton goods, but
mail orders show that supplementary
veloping.
Good sized bids for heavy brown cot
tons for exports have been turned
down as required. Shipments could
not be made, mills being so far over
sold. Prices are very firm and small
percentage of advance asked in some
instances. Bleached cottons firm with
fair sales. Coarse colored cottons
steady with average demand. Prints

CENTS were IA cars against 535 last
week and 138 i year ago. Chicago re-
ceipts were It's cars, 80 of contract
grade. Bulls Derived some encourage
ment from the fact that the arrivals of
new were still comparatively small.
The visible supply showed an increase
of $4,000 bushels, compared with de-
crease last year of $4,000 bushels.
This was perhaps the most significant
bear circumstance, and it resulted in
an almost total disappearance of buy
ers late in the session. Worlds ship
ments 100000 bushels, were about as
expected. Atlantic export elearances
of wheat and -four equalled $4,000
bushels. September was bringing CSC
at the close.
Corn was irregular with some degree
of activity. The market opened weak
on the excellent crop conditions and
large crop estimates. The cash sit
uation was strong, there being little
for sale, except at higher premium
than shippers have previously paid.
September showed a substantial adj
vance at one time. The new crop fu-
lures were sold more literally and lat
er in the session September also weak
ened practically all the advance being
lost Country aeceptances were al
most nothing. The local stocks de-
creased $4,000 bushels. Receipts
were 413 cars. September ranged
from 30ssc to Sic and closed a shade
higher at 305s@30Ae. December
closed 1s@Ac lower at 2SSs@2S1ac.
Oats were neglected. The market
was influenced almost entirely by
corn, showing some early strength
weakening late in the session, but
closing fairly steady. The cash de-
mand was good, about $4,000 bushels
being worked here for shiI1Sent. Re-
eeipts were large, 507 cars. September
ranged from 19as@19hc to 1875 @1s%c
and closed unchanged at 191a@193sc.
May closed a shade lower.
Provisions were dull but rather
steady in view of the break in hog
prices, and though showing weakness
early, recovered later and closed
steady. The demand for meats was
good. Packers were moderate sellers.
At the close September pork was 212c
lower at So 471a; September lard a
shade lower at S. 371a and September
ribs a shade higher at S. 10.
Estimated receipts Tuesday:
Wheat, 205 cars; corn, $50 cars;
hogs, 1900 head.
