two horses killed and the cavalry

the escort with such terrific forca
that about two-thirds of the soldiers
were endorsed and two horses were
so badly hurt that they had to be
killed.

uncomfortable. 1t is also said that
the war department will order full
investigation of the affair. Another
report here is that the two troops
engaged in a fight because of bad

SHEEP-Receipts of sheep and lambs
continued fairly liberal today. but the de-
mand was also in good shape, so that
the market took on considerable life and
the bulk of the desirable grades was dis
posed of in good season. rhere were not
very many good fat sheep, however, but
such as were offered sold freely at good,
steady prices. Some western ewes sold
as high as 1875 and some fed stun brought
1886.
Fat lambs. however, were rather slow
and a little Liver. Packer did not seem
to be particularly anxious for fresh sup
plies, as they bought a good many lambs
yesterday, and they took advantage of
this opportunity to pound the market a
little.
There were several liberal buyers OF
feeders on the market, so tina trading
was quite active and fully steady. A big
string of lambs sold as feeders at $500, but
they were nice stuff. The common grades
were somewhat neglected. the same as
same prices they did yesterday.
