Over Killing of Soldier.
A conflict Of State and national au-
thority in military matter was begun
at Fort Crook, Neb., by the arrest on
State warrant of Corporal Fair and Ell
vate jackson on the charge of mutder.
They are charged with killing Private
Morgan in that locality few weeks ago.
The men were exonerated by court

ed by the Governor to investigate the
case, and expressed an opinion. that 1t
should be tried by the State, like any
other murder. The dead man was at
tempting to escape after having enlisted.
He had reached place ten miles 2rom

and shot him when he attempted to run.
Much feeling has been wrought up IL the
West over the matter. The War Depart
ment wired the Federal attorney to de-

SHAM DUEL, BUT GUN, LOADED.

While Out Hunting.

George Stoner and Forrest Gano, To-
year-old boys living near Green Springs,
Ohio, went to the woods near the village
for the purpose of hunting. After search
ing for game for several hours and being
unsuccessful they determined to have
sham duel. SO, pacing off distance at
a given signal they wheeled, swapping
the triggers of their guns. Unfortunate
" Gano's gun was loaded and went Off,
striking young Stoner in the neck, sever
ing the jugular vein and killing him in
stantly. Young Gano had no idea that
his gun was loaded and feels terribly
over the unfortunate affair. No arrests
were made, as it was purely accidental.

n. p. McLennan Makes a Record
Breaking Trip Over the Snow.
r. 2. McLennan, a prominent mer-
chant of Vancouver, arrived there the
other day from Dawson, after making
what is really the fastest winter trip by
bicycle from the Klondike. He left DaW-
son three weeks before, and was but four
teen days coming through the snow and
over the ice to Lake Bennett. F1fty-elgnt
miles was the best days travelling he did
by wheel, and in nine days he went 29O
miles. McLennan has made the winter
trip with dog sleds half dozen times,
and he thinks that the bicycle is much
more satisfactory means Of travel, with
the system of stations along the route.
He was nearly drowned on two different
occasions by going through the ice, and,
altogether, had an exceedingly rough
trip.

ADVANCE IN HOG PRODUCTS.
Most Notable Movement Among Lead

Most Notable Movement Among Lead
ing Staples Caused by Scarcity.
Bradstreet's says: Perhaps the most
notable movement among leading staples
is that developed in hogs and hog pro-
duets, better realization apparently pc
ing had of the features making Tor
strength in those products, notably
among which being the reduction IN the
supply of hogs. That the advance In hog
products is beginning to attract more at
tention seems evident from the extent TO
which this advance has had sympathetic
reflection in the prices of wheat and
other cereals"

used in manufacturing oleomargarine.
