RECEIPTS OF CATTLE
WERE ABOUT NORMAL.
At Kansas City 800 Texans Were Re-
oeived and at St. Louis 2oo-The
Market Was Strong ard Steady.

Tho high price for feeding cattle is the
sui icct OF much concern among that class
who are trying To- stock up at the different
markets. The class of cattle generally
sought are expected TO weigh 1000 pounds,
nnd the price ranges from 81 10 to 81. 20.
A buyer, as is well known, is not given To
tho habit of admitting thai he buys any
thing cheap enough, but as long as nc con
tinucs 10 tuy, the privilege Is accorded him
20 talk 10 his hearts content. He has no
now argument to advance except that the
market will not justify" the tribute laid
upon him. \ year ago luD"pound feeders

tinued through the hrst half Of the morn

gradual recession, until half this gain was
lost, followed and formed a level that ruled
until very near midday. A slight improve

for half hour into the afternoon and then
an additional point was placed on ne ad
vance. A steady rise then took place and
continued until the last thirty minutes Of
the session. when top values were reached
and from which there was no further yaria-
tlon during the hours for business. In the

To those who looked for a departure from

was a story Of despair The long horns OF
bulls plunged Into every crook and crevlce
"a well as the main body OF the bearish
armor. II the course OF events In the
days gone by can be accounted for there
need be no scratching of heads" about
thu days results. The statistical board
lett a gap IN conditions that favor the
value destroyer, and such has not been a
feature FOR many days. True, the arrivals
Mt the seaside were tremendous, and In
view Of the preceding Inward volume In
motion, could not have been otherwise.
But the Unto sight" failed to measure up
60 the talents" expectations by figures
that ranged all the way from 1000 TO
$4,000, while the shrlnkage in estimated
receipts aroused new whlsperlngs OF that
Perpendicular drop"
Under the usual rule OF cause and effect
these facts may not have worked such
wonders. The power Of absorption was
quito ss great as formerly. however, and
with demand a certainty mere suspicious

was nFNhtus
Foreign advices swelled tho upward wave
and values simply responded to the "gigns
Of the time" reflected through tho con-
suoptive side OF the case.
Liverpool was at least IN part encour-
aging TO the commodity's friends. Sales
on tho spot amounted TO 1000 bales at

Hnally stood 1564d higher on near and
1-64d better on far positions. The big
English market has no need TO worry about
fhe present, hut the future evidently has
q place In tho mind OF tho transatlantic
operator.

Tragedy on Bear Creek.

Last Saturday afternoon there
was enacted bloody tragedy on
Bear creek, 5 miles east of luka,
that has thrown that peaceful aud
usually quiet community into great
excitement and filed a humble
home with mourning. A young
married man named Charles LON
enick shot an old man and ex-Con-
federate veteran, j. L. Gassawav,
inhicting wounds from which the
unfortunate old man expired on
Sunday night.
From the best Information OBJ
talnabIe, it seems that Gassaway
and his family had contracted to
pick 1900 pounds of seed cotton
for which they were to receive Il
certain sow and pigs in payment.
After picking portion of the cot
ton they found that the hogs be-
longed to Lomenick's wife and
they quit picking. On the after
noon of the tragedy Gassaway and
one Of his sons were hauling sor
ghum cane to the mill near John
Jackson's, on whose place Gassa-
way resided. They were met in
the road by Charley Lcmenicx and
a discussion got up about the pay
for the cotton already picked.
Gassaway claimed that he should
have pay for picking and Lone
nick thought not. The latter was
armed with a shotgun and became
, very much enraged, finally firing
one barrel OF his gun into the
woods. Young Gassaway asked
him what he meant by this and
jumping from the wagon started
to HE home with the avowed in
tentiou of getting his gun in order
to meet Lomenick on equal terms,

armed. Lomenick first presented
his gun toward young Gassaway,
but changed its direction so that it

and the first shot struck the old
man on the right arm, shoulder and
back of the head, knocking him
down. AS he struggled to his feet
Lomenick poured the contents of
the other barrel into his back, u
! little to the left of the back bone
penetrating to the cavity and pro-
ducing frightful internal injuries
which caused his death about 80
hours later.

The above account NAV not be
strictly correct in all the details,
bat is substantially the statement
made by the old man before his
death.
