UNION STOCkYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
March s.-Cattle-Receipts go: shipments small.
The receipts of cattle were fully large as the
average for a Monday market. and show fair
increase week ago and a good increase
over a year ago. The consignments were prin-
cipally butcher stock and the quality generally
was fairly satisfactory. The market opened with
no important demand from outside sources. but
there was fair request from nearly all local
houses, and practically from the start the trad
ing was reasonably active and sales for the most
part were at steady prices compared with those
current for Niual kinds at the close OF last week
In some instances sellers believed they took 1Oc
less than they had expected. and. sympathy
with reports from other places, there seemed
to be a feeling that prices. IL any different
should be lower. The supply was small, how
ever. and indications afe not the most favor
able for liberal receipts this week. therefore
buyers believe they were justified in paying
steady prices. Most of the steers here averaged
ga to LOO lbs and sold at si.15aa4o. Heifers
sold from 80 to s4.75. Gamers to good cows from
SIS to "A. bulls from 1875 to $3.50 and calves
from $50 to $7.75- Quotations:

Sheep-Recepts light: shipments none. Again
the receipts of sheep and lambs were too small
to establish market, and. usual under such
circumstances, there Is quotable change or
Improvement to report in prices compared with
at this time in the week the opinions concerning
the market are based largely upon the reports
from other places. and there was very little
no change in those statesmen believe there viii
be at least steady market here in the next
few days. 1t Will be remembered that barely
enough came in last week to meet the require
ments of the local butcher trade. and there Is
not much fear OF the market being oversupplied
this week. Practically all kinds would probably
sell a basis of prices quoted:

A LARGE INCREASE
In the Receipts of Taxes Gathered
in This Year Over Last.

Sheriff Batson said the other day
that he had gathered in this year
about So, 900 above that collected
last, and that he did not include the
taxes paid into that office last Satur-
day, which was fine day for collec
tions, collecting about So, 900. In all
over $40, 900 was collected up to Satur-
day against $35, 900 up to the same
time last year, and Saturdays col
lections would make $45, 600.
The collections in Perry are gener-
ally very good for the fact that the
people have the money at any time of
the year, not many of them depend
ing on cotton for it. The lumber and
turpentine business in this county
as tremendous thing and hundreds
of men who heretofore farmed have
dropped the plow and the hoe and are
now either working at the hundreds of
saw mills or dipping the crude out of
which trrpentine is made. They
find it more profitable and besides it
gives them money at all seasons of the

MERCY! HOW MERGE FLEW!
He Outruns the Police and Gets
Away, But Finally is Captured.

Merce Richardson of this city, q
mere lad, had an old pistol which he
had carried long enough without try
ing its powers upon the open air.
He decided that pistol manufactured
to shoot ought to shoot. Hence Fri.
day night he turned it loose.
The next day the police learned
that he was guilty of violating the
law by shooting within the limits of
the corporation and carrying a con-
cealedd weapon. They went in search
of him, after learning that his where
abouts was near one of the planning
mills and soon discovered him a short
distance away. They gave chase,
but Merce was feet of foot and
throwing his pistol in the shingle
mill disappeared around the corner
and concealed himself among the
great stacks of lumber. Hence the
police had to return without their
little prisoner.
Yesterday afternoon some one told
Policemen Beverly and Mcdonald
where they could find the object of
their search. The police followed the
directions and at one of the machine
shops they discoverded their little
man. But this time they took greater
precautions than did the police the
day before and surrounded the shops.
Merce spied them, but it was too
late and he was grabbed as he was
making break for another hiding
place. But he fought like tiger
and would not give up until he was
compelled to do so by main force of
the police.
He was carried to the police station
where he was locked up and this
morning the charge of carrying dead
ly weapon concealed and shooting with
in the limits of the corporation was
put opposite his name.
Merce was fined $25 and sent to the
streets for ten days. He plead with
his honor to remit the street fine, but
the mayor told him that was the very
kind of punishment he wanted to put
on him. The mayor, before passing
sentence, gave Merce a good lecture,
telling him the numerous offenses he |
was charged with, and advising him
to reform. He put the least fine on
him he could, but if he appeared be
fore him again he would give him the
full extent of the law.

would be unsafe, higher one needless
