Our opening. although quiet. was ct
moderate advances over last nights
close, and almost during the entire sss-
sion prices were well main tanned aud tbs
elosings were not far from the best of
the day. A halt took plaos just before
the bank statement was made public,
al to the showing that would be made
and 1t was generally predicted that the
surplus would show no increase, and
would possibly show a decrease, SO that
VIII en- tine actual figures were published
the room started to buy causing a mod
crate advance in values. Although the
room Ia disposed to be- bullish ON the
statement. the surplus is altogether too
small as yet to justify speculative aotivj-
ty or pronounced bull movement. Ao-
oording to some reports from bankers,
the demand from the interior Ia slack
enipg and consequently, towards the end
OF his month, 1t may ee expected that
money may beain to-flow this way.
So far railroad earnings in Octob Der
have been per cent larger than last
year, and 81 per cent larger than In
1899. In fact the business outlook of the
oonntry continues to he all that can pc
desired and 1t Is only the lack OF money
at. New York that prevents materially
higher range of prices from existing on
the Stock Exchange.
The covering OF the short interest in
sugar advanced prices rapidly In that

was sold cheaper there than in Phos- nix This circumstance could be ac- counted for, only upon the theory that the Phoenix butchers were making enormous profits. It was believed that within the last two years, q consider able part of the cattle slaughtered for the coast markets came from the ranges of Arizona. 1t was not gener- ally known that since the dTCuth il California, train load after train load of refrigerated beef has been shippe1 to the coast from the great packing houses Of Chicago and Kansas City. According to the custom of the Biz Four. this has been sold regardless Of prices in the local market. It made no difference whether cattle were up or down, beef was sold at a figure which Maier could not meet and live. He hal
 made S200, 600 in the butchering bust; ness, when he had only local cOmpati- tion, but he could not stand the d@ily and continuous strain to which his new competitors subjected him.
 The same plan of campaign is being employed against Miller & Lux, the great San Francisco butchers. If they have not been able to hold their own, they have been able at least to remain in the field, because they have no. had to go as far after cattle as Maier w compelled to go. But TOT the drOuth, he might have kept up the fight while longer, though if the Big Four had persisted in it's effort to take pcs session of the field he would have eventually had to yield. His downfall has made clear. what no one SC ms tO have thought of before, that cattle can not be shipped from Arizona to the California markets to be converted in to beef in competition with the beef of the great packing companies. Maier's powerful competitors may have b5en making nothing out of the refrigerat- ed beef during the struggle which is just ended. They may have even lest, for the Cudahy people have found it to their advantage to buy Salt River Valley cattle.
 The question of interest to local cattlemen is this: Will Los Angeles and the other coast towns continue to be a market for local beef cattle, or will prices fer this part of the country be fixed in Chicago CT Kansas City?

in fifty yards the officers called to them to throw up their hands. Ter rall turned his horse and Ean. Dugan tried to disengage the rifle which Was tied to his saddle. but failing. he drew his revolver and fired. Deputy Moore fired as DUgan raised his reTolver for the second shot. The ball passe1 through his pistol hand and at the same instant he received a shot in his left leg. He fell from his horse, but lay on the ground, still holding his pistol aloft When the officers came up he refused to drop it and Deputy Sheriff Slankard took it away from him by force, while Deputy Moore held his rife on him. The capture took place about three o'clock on Wednes- day afternoon.
 Dugan plainly could not be brought to Phoenix on horseback. Farrell was quickly overtaken and surrendered, and while Deputy Moore guarded the prisoners, Deputy Slankard rode ter miles and got a Mexican to bring tEe wounded man in 8 wagon. When he arrived. he was covered with blood and dust. His wounds were dressed. the dressing involving the removal Of large collection of splintered bones. About half the bone for length of two inches was taken out.
 Dugan said that when he commenced shooting he thought the officers were Q part of Nelson's crowd and meant to murder him. Dugan is twenty-cne years old and Ferrall, sixteen. They are said to be hard youths and have made a speciality Of shooting up Arf- zona towns. The trouble with Nelson grew out of their employment by him as sheep herders in the northern part of the territory more than year ago. They had 8 quarrel then. but did net see Nelson again, until they met at Mesa. Dugan says he shot then in seIf-defense. He fired six shots at close range and Nelson fired more, but nobody was hurt. When the boys were captured Dugan had a rife and revolver. Ferrall had a revolver, bus no cartridges, Hence his flight.
 They were almost worn out with hunger and fatigue when they were brought in Their horses could hardly walk. The officers were also nearly worn out with the loss of two nights sleep and their long ride.

SHOT BY OFFICERS
Two FugitiYes Landed in Jail Yesier-
 day MOTn;ng.

Deputy SheriT5 Billy Moore and Charlie Slankard returned yesterday morning at o'clock with Ed Dugan and Garfield Ferrau, the two young men who engaged in blood ess 0ue- with John Nelson, a sheepman at Mesa last Sunday.
 Dugan was brought in 3 wagJn and in great pain. n He had hole through his right hand and a section of tire bone of lis left leg above the knee had been shct away in a fight with the officers. He will probably loose his leg and perhaps his life.
 The officers started in pursuit about one o'clock on Wednesday morning. They had little trouble in tracking the fugitives rorthward, until they reach ed a sheep camp on the Mesa, this side of Cave Creek They learned that they had been here and taken a IifIe. On account of the Oyer-runniDg of the country by thousands of sheep, the pursuers had difficulty in picking LID the trail, and when they found it they discovered that the fugitiVes were on the alert. They would travel five or six miles in one direction and then double back the same distance, keep ing within sight of their first trail to see if they were pursued. Having ob- served these tactics and guessing in which general direction Dugan ana FerraH were going, the officers disfe- garded the trail and rode rapidly for ward and turning on the desert soon met them unprepared.
 They dismounted and teath- cred their horses. When the fugitives had ridden Up with

 "A chorus of courtiers, ladies in wait ing, peasants, servants, huntressas, etc.
 There are opera companies ca the road, and again the-e arc opera ccm- pantes, but with possibly the eEcog ion of the performance of Carmen by the Emma Juch opera company eight years ago, it is safe to say that no sIc-l rendition of opera has ever been wit messed in Phoenix as wls the perform ance of Ffotow's $ charming old opera of Martha at the Patton Grand las night by the Andrews Opera company
 The Andrews company is not q lone star" organization, but a company oi capable singers. The chorus, while not large, is especially good. far and away ahead of the usual chorus heard out side Of grand Oparaoic productions by the most famous organizations. Mss Ada Palmer Walker Wl3 taken sick yesterday and the part of Lady liar riet was sung by Miss Nellie Andrews Miss Andrews work in recent years has been in lighter vein than such characters as Lady Harriet but she well sustained the Eart While not e5- pecially strong her voice $ round, full and sweet and her rendering Of the .'I .est Rose of Summer" called forth rounds of well msIiJed applause.
 But it was the singing Cf Mi. Jay (. Taylc, that particularly CapIvlt6d the audience last night. For some un3c- countable reason nearly every travel ing opera company is harcccod by poor tenor and the work of otherwise competent artists is Cftimes m3cred by the work of the tenor. Net so with last nights performance, noToVe-- ME. Taylor has not only very 17eIGdl9us voice. but he sings with much feeling and expression and his high notes were clear. sharp and yet smooth and devoid Of that. IasPing so CftInes no tice3. In fact, his rendering Of My Dream of Bliss Is Ser reminded one of Camranini, 1n the palmy days of that great tenor, when he WAS with Mapleson's Grand English Opera com p2ny. Miss Leekly is very good contraltO and the same may be s2id cf Mir Seaton, the Eassc; n2r should the work Of MT. HazelIigg as director be passed without mention. Altogether the performance was rare treat to the music lovers of Phoenix and well deserving of the large audience in at- tendance. Tonight will be given that fine old comic opsra, Fla Diavclo, and the company well deserves to be greeted with 9 crowded house, which it no doubt will he.
