ESTIMATED LOSS Of STOCK
LOST IN THE RECENT STORMS.
The Extreme Northwest Suffers Least
California Suffers From a Drouth-A
Heavy Loss Through Texas, New Mex
leo and Indian Territory.

Denver, Colo, March 8.-From reports
which have been coming to the headquar-
tiers of the National Live Stock Associa'
ton for the past month, the officers of the
association estimate the losses from the
recent storms to cattlemen who have herds
on the open ranges at per cent OF the
entire amount. This, in round numbers,
would amount to over three quarters OF a
million head.
The reports have been received from
leading stockmen and are considered ac-
curate as far as they go. Oregon, Wash.
ington and Arizona suffered very little and
will have only nominal losses. California
is still suffering from drouth and the out
look there is bad. The losses in Wyom-
ing, Colorado and the Dakotas as yet have
not averaged per cent
In northern and Western Texas and
northeastern New Mexico and southern
Oklahoma and Indian Territory the heav-
lest losses have been with so-called
Through CATTLE" that is, cattle being
moved north from the south, reaching in
some sections as high as 20 per cent. =.
Further Loss Expected.
Taking the range sections as whole, to
the present time, the losses will average a
per cent. With the most favorable condi-
tons that can be expected additional loss
may be looked for before spring, and
should the weather continue bad through
March, heavy loss will certainly result.
In Utah, Wyoming and some parts OF
Oregon heavy sheep losses are reported.
1t is feared that there will also be heavy
sheep losses in Montana. Wyoming re-
ports some instances OF losses reaching as
high as 80 per cent, and some claim that
if March furnishes much bad weather the
sheep losses in that state may reach rs
per cent.

In the last hours OF congress it was pro-
vided that the admiral OF the navy should
receive the pay and emoluments Of the
last general OF the army. This legislation
was supplemental to the bill reviving the
grade of admiral for the benefit Of Admiral
Dewey. Its effect is to give Admiral
Dewey compensation at the rate Of $4,000
year. Of this amount $4,000 is the
regulation pay of an admiral Of the navy.
The extra $500 is the allowance made to

THREATENS GRAND JURY
Fiery Young Woman Hints at ASsas-
Sinafion for One to Arrest Her.

Charleston, S. c., April 5.-The
grad jury of Charleston, which is
trying to investigate the murder of
Thomas Pinckney, Jr., the young law
yer and society man who was killed in
the street five weeks ago, had lively
tilt today. Pinckney had been calling
on Miss Elizabeth Bardin, handsome
young society woman, and left her
home at midnight. Half a block away
he was shot down. Nothing was taken
from him and the only thing missing
was his hat, which has never been ac-
counted for The coroner had long
investigation and ascertained nothing.
The theory that Pinckney was killed
by foot-pads is not believed here, and
the grand jury was instructed by the
court to work up the case. For nearly
two weeks a second investigation has
been in progress and it has been limited
that developments of a startling kind
would come out. In this second inves-
tigatfon today Mrs. V. Bardin, moth
er Of the young woman on whom
Pinckney was calling. and Miss Bar6in
and Miss Mary Radcliffe, young
woman from Philadelphia who was
visiting the Bardins at the time of the
shooting, were called on the stand.
Miss Bardin and Miss Radcliffe were
examined by the coroner. During the
investigation today a juror is said to
have told Miss Radcliffe that the public
believed and thought that everybody
at the Bardin house on the night of the
killing should have been put in Jail at
once.
well. now. yon just try that on me-
replied Miss Radcliffe in a fiery tone.
"and you will get more lead in you
tnan was poured into poor Tom Pinck-
ney."
This statement from the young wo-
man caused the juror to turn red and
the questioning took another turn
Benjamin Campbell Blackwell, a
young man of PittsoUrg, who was en-
gagged to Miss Bardin, arrived in
Charleston the morning following the
shooting. At the coroner's inquest he
told OF the time of his arrival but the
grand jury has been endeavoring to
learn further facts on this matter. The
jury has been inclined to suspect that
Blackwell came here ahead OF time
and might be able to tell something of
the killing. All the persons connected
with the affair are well connected and
move in high social circles. The grand
jury is still in session.
