A SUNDAY BARBECUE.

Last Sunday a merry party composed of R. H. Smith, $. B. Kyle, Dr. J. B. Neal, Dave Bur kett, w. E. Wilder, k. l.. Stoker, Henry Cariker, Elvis Kidd, Jurd McCrory, M. E. Anderson, Boyd Angus, W. B. Daugherty and Walter Angus, spent the day on Cache river in an old fashion ed pleasurable feast or barbecue. Dr. Neal furnished fine, fat 125 pound hog for the occasion which Raymond Partee and Joe Dunn, both excellent colored cooks pre- pared to a queens taste. The boys say they had all kinds of fine eatables fish galore, barbe cued pork, and the various other necessary things usually found at such a gathering as this, were there to spare. The dinner was gotten up in honor of Dr. J. B. Neal s friend M. E. Anderson, travelling representative of the Hessig Ellis Drug Co.,, of Mem phis, Tenn. MT. Anderson said he never enjoyed anything better in his life. It is said to have been better than the Big Four dinner given sometime since. Ii this is true it was something very fine.
 Of all things for man to enjoy a fine spread like last Sunday's with a happy, jolly crowd as the one that constituted it's members is the most enjoyable one we car think of.
 The dinner was nicely spread : and when the Jolly crowd were seated around the feast, laugh ing, joking and enjoying thu
 bountiful meal it must have beer grand picture of contentment : While this meal was partaken o. all were happily seated listening to the stories of wild animals ghosts and other ferocious ami malls of which the boys know many. When the gentlemen ge together a day of fun is always assured.

THE SUPPLY OF HOGS.

The man who raises plenty of corn and then raises plenty of hogs to consume it is putting his product where it will do the most good. Hogs are relatively high now, according to the best information obtainable, the sup ply in the country is somewhat below the normal at the present time. However, the best posted men on the hog situation have been mistaken on forecasts of this kind and one is bound to ad- init thrt the country is large, and that it is impossible to get ac- curate statistics on the growing crop. There are many who be- lieve that the light average weight is an indication that the later supply will be short, basing their judgment on the theory that no heavy hogs are available, becauge if there were the pre- mium that they are commanding would force them in. Without question the marketing of so many young hogs now means less to come later on. Whether the shortage will be serious or not remains to be seen. So far this last winter the eastern sup ply has been quite large, at least large enough to keep shipments down to comparatively low figure. It is generally believed that this supply has been pretty well marketed, and so the coast is clearer for a better demand from this source later on. Per l haps the high price of corn has discouraged many farmers from l feeding as many hogs as usual, but even with corn at present prices there could be no better investment than converting it into pork. -Drovers Journal.

PAT GROVE ANNOUNCES TERMS
ON WHICH HE WILL SURRENDER

Omaha, Neb, Oct. 14.-Chief of Po-
lice John ]. Donahue yesterday receiv-
ed a letter from Pat Grove, naming
the terms on which he will surrender.
The letter came in care Of an Omaha
newspaper, in which it is published,
and covers fifteen closely written
pages of manuscript. The postmark is
lllegible, but the letter was mailed at
8 o'clock in the morning and reached
this city at s in the evening of the
same day, indicating that it had not
Travelled a long distance.
In the letter Grove agrees to give
himself up at once and stand trial for
the kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, pro-
vided he is not locked up until jury
shall adjudge him guilty. He says he
Is unable to furnish bond in excess of
$500 and demands that bail be fixed in
that sum.
Chief Donahue expresses himself as
satisfied that the letter came from
Grove. Donahue has known Grove
for several years. is acquainted with
his manner, handwriting and style of
speech. The chief has also received a
letter from Groves uncle at Manches-
ter, Iowa, submitting similar terms
for Groves surrender. which leads the
police to believe that they are dealing
with the right man.
Grove, in his letter, takes the de-
tective agencies to task, defying them
to attempt his arrest. and continues:

Two Million Dollars at stake.


Denver, Oct. 14.-On the ground that
under the guise of charity the late
George w. Clayton sought to crafty
his ambition to keep his name ever be-
fore the public at the personal loss of
those who should benefit by his accu-
mutations during his lifetime, the Su-
preme Court vas on Saturday asked
by the attorneys for Thomas 8. Clay
ton to set aside Mr.. Clayton's will be-
queathing to the City of Denver prop
erty worth $2,OOO,OOO to be held in
trust for the erection and maintenance
of the George w. Clayton College, to
which school. according to the terms
of the will. "as many poor white or
phans between the ages Of six and ten
years born Of reputable parents shall
be admitted as the income shall be ad-
equate to maintain"
The brief of the plaintiff, which was
filed by Attorneys Carlon, Skelton &
Morrow yesterday. is bitter and sour
rilous attack on George w. Clayton. 1t
sets up several grounds on which the
validity Of the will is attacked, but
the paramount issue is that 1t was not
n spirit Of charity which moved George
w yClayton to make the bequest, but
desire simply to perpetuate his name.
The suit is In the Supreme Court on
appeal from the District Court, where
IuGea sPalmer decided against T. s.
Clayton and held that the city could
accept the trust. Some Of the points
urged in the original case are also GOV.
cred In the brief filed In the Supreme
Court yesterday. Several new points
are brought out, however.

During the funeral of David Linds-
kog in Chicago. few days ago, what
threatened to be n panic, in which
many would have lost their lives. was
prevented by the prompt action of the
pastor, Herman Lindskog. 1t occurred
in the st. Ansgarius Swedish church.
The church was crowded. and hun
dreds of people were outside awaiting
an opportunity to view the remains Of
the pastors son, who was shct by Po-
liceman James p. Wiley during a
scuffie. Just as the burial service was
concluded loud report and crashes
as OF splintering beams sounded In

several inches, and number of per-

In the crush at the door three women

This gentleman, Frank Bochaty, asked
Sherman to bring in few pigeons for
him also. Jesse thereupon loaded his
double -barreled shotgun and placed it
in the buggy to take with him. He
made the remark as he passed out that
they had been having lots Of trouble
from boys of the city going out and
stealing pigeons and rabbits.
When Mr. and Mrs. Sherman arrived
at the ranch they saw a number of
boys about the place, several of whom
had guns and were apparently hunting
on the property.
Sherman's story from this point is
that when he saw the boys he conclud
ed he would catch them and give them
good scare. He said it was his idea
to get them all together, get their
names and report them to the new
owner Of the property. AS he jumped
from the buggy with his gun in his
hands, the boys saw ham and started
to run in different directions. There
We're eight boys in the party. One of
the boys, lad named Adams, he
caught. He told him to stand by the
barn until he got the others, and Sher.
man then started in pursuit of them.
A moment later the boy at the barn
heard shot, and running to the end
of the barn he saw his companions fall,
but he did not see the shot fired. Sher-
man says that as he started running
after the boys, who were about 100
yards ahead of him, he shouted to them
to stop, but they ran all the faster, and
that while he WIS in pursuit he STUN
bled and in some manner the gun was
accidentally discharged, three lads,
Dorrington, King and Considine being
laid low by the one shot.
Sherman ran up to the boys, and, see
ing their condition, shouted to his wife
to bring up the buggy, which she did.
Leaving his wife to walk home, he put
the three boys into the vehicle and
started for the city on a dead run.
The trip was made in such short time
that the horse dropped dead after ar
irving in Leadville. Sherman sum-
moned surgeons for all of the boys, and
then called at the Jail and gave himself
up.
