QUESTION of the Rockefeller iron mines and
properties in the Lake Superior district.
The attention of Robert Bacon, of j. T..
Morgan u Co, was called to-day to the re-
port that the time of deposits of the stocks
of the steel companies. which must be
made on Wednesday, was likely TO be ex-
tended. He said: Il think there will be no
necessity for that. The great bulk of the
stock will be in by Tomorrow, and if some
of the transfers of the stock are delayed.
as reported, by technical Irregularities or
by other unpreventable causes, there will
be no disposition to reject deposits of that
kind"
1t is understood hat 50 to s. per cent. of
the stock has already been deposited. and
it is probable the amount deposited by to-
morrow night will be 80 per cent. at least.
1t was also reported that part of the in
creased capital of the United States Steel
Corporation would be used to take over the
property of the American Bridge Company.
This is one of the corporations financed by
j. Z. Morgan q CO. The bridge company

81 load of buckshot by two men who
robbed him, taking his coat and
horse
He says he is twenty one years old
and that he is from Edwards county,
Kansas, that his parents died while
he was quite young. 1t is the gen
eral opinion here that Johnson is
the robber that was dressed i'll wOm-
ans attire at the killing at Red Rock
and received the wounds from Alvin
Bateman, the bookeeper, who was
killed in the raid
The Perry militia has been called
out to guard the jail, as it is feared
that an attempt will be made to
lynch the prisoner by enraged citizens
OF Red Rock who may come here

officers are determine to guard the
mans life with all possible care and
he will not be taken with out an
effort.

r., and found three robbers ransack-
ing the place He had a revolver
and Immediately opened fire upon
them. In the battle that followed
Batman was killed. The desperadoes
escaped, but posse of citizens and
officers were soon upon their trail.
Sheriff Foster traced the bandits
to the home OF man named Cum
ningham, near, Pawnee, and surround
ed the house. A demand was made
for surrender of the men and in re-
ply a volley of bullets was fred
into the posse. Deputy Sheriff John
son was mortally wounded and in
the melee the bandits again escaped
to the timber and made for the res
ervatiOn.
Ben Cravens, notorious desper-
ado, is supposed to be the leader of
the trio and the man who is now at

who were with him in the flight from
the house.
