City Gossip.

AS soon as the rain stops and gives the
ground a chance to dry out the work Of
paving alleys and pens in the new cattle
division in the western portion Of the
stock yards will begin. Between now and
the end of August the company expects
to use not less than 1900, 600 paving brick
in the work already mapped out. The
brick used are different from the ordinary
street vitrlhed paving brick and will last
for many years. These brick are four by
four and eight inches long. After the
ground in the pens and alleys has been pre-
pared cinders to the depth of FIVE inches
are laid. A heavy roller is run over the
cinders to make a sound foundation. On
top OF the cinders comes an inch Of sand
and on his the brick is laid. Experts say
there is practically no wear to such a
pavement.
While work OF this kind is expensive,
General Manager Kenyon is satisfied that,
owing to the lasting qualities of the paw
ing, it will be money in the pockets of the
stockholders in the long run. 1t is the
intention of the management to keep on
with tnis kind Of paving until every pen
n alley in the yards is paved. For years
the alleys, and pens we're loored
with planks. Water soon rotted the wood
and the heat in summer warped the planks,
so that repairs were constantly being made,
with a solid paving, such as is being laid,
there will be very little repairing to be
done. I,
In the early part OF the week men were
put to work paving the north approach
Of the new Cudahy bridge with rock. The
rains washed out about half of the work
before it was completed and no attempt
will be made now to lay this rock paving
until the weather clears.

Hog Receipts Increasing.

For four days OF the present week the
receipts of hogs at this market amounted
to 1881 head. This Is largely in excess of
the receipts for last week or for the COR
responding week a year ago. In speaking
of the large receipts Secretary Guild OF
the Live Stock exchange said that many
of the farmers in the vicinity Of this mar
ket were getting their hogs to market as
rapidly as possible on account Of the long
continued rains and wet hog yards. Yes
terday more farmers drove into the yards
with hogs than for a long time. In fact
the space about the exchange building was
lined with wagons waiting to be unloaded.
some OF the farmers reported having lost
quite a number of hogs on account OF high
water. The heavy receipts tended to
weaken the market from 5 to 10 cents.

Of a rapidly running southbound car. One
of the horses legs was broken and one OF
the buggy shafts perforated the intestines.
The animal, a valuable one, was shot by a
policeman. The buggy was a complete
wreck. Mr.. Mcintyre suffered a number of
very severe bruises and will be laid up
for some little time. Passengers on the
car said 1t was a wonder Mr.. Mcintyre
was not killed, as the car struck the rig
with great force. A carriage was secured
as soon after the accident as possible and
Mr.. Mcintyre taken to his home in Omaha.

HUSBAND SHOOTS
Frank Robinson Takes Two shots at
Robert McCullen, but
Doesn't Kill.

Thirteen months OF domestic infelicity
led up TO a shooting yesterday afternoon,
wherein Frank Robinson of 215 Willis ave-
nue. seriously wounded Robert McCullen.
The shots we're fired in the saloon Of Rem
streets The wounded man was taken to
DR.. Hostetter's Office and from there sent
to Clarkson hospital. The wound was found
to be in the left side of the abdomen and
not OF a fatal character. The bullet was
distracted.
Robinson was arrested and charged with
shooting with intent to kill, and Mrs. Rob-
inson and Herbert Robinson, the latter liv-
ing at I549 North Eleventh street, who
were present when the shot was fired, were
taken into custody as state witnesses.
The fight between Robinson and McCul-
len was the result Of the formers sus-
picion that the latter had been too atten-
tive to Mrs. Robinson. Herbert Robinson,
who, by the way, is no relation to Frank,
says that McCullen gave him note ad-
dressed to Mrs. Robinson, which said:
Sweetheart, | need some money. Send
$2" Herbert says he delivered the note
to Mrs Robinson and then told her hus-
band OF it's contents. Yesterday Frank and
Herbert, followed closely by Mrs. Robin
son, went on a hunt Cor McCullen. They
kept up the search all day, and late in the
afternoon encountered their man In the
saloon at the corner of Sixteenth and Mich
olas streets. Here the fight occurred, In
which Robinson drew his revolver and
wounded McCullen.

w. f. Mclaughlin OF the Peavey Grain

The grain situation in Kansas is In rel

buyers are rather chary about buying grain
until the transportation situation is re-
lieved. The prevailing price paid for corn
there now is 81 cents for white and S1h
cents for mixed corn. The corn grading
facilities are limited at Marysville and bet
ter rates for grain prevail at points sew
eral miles either way from that town be-
cause of the difficulty or hauling over the
rough, hilly country surrounding Marys-
Vile, which is additionally embarrassed by
the prevailing bad weather.
The grain men in southeastern Ne
braska and northeastern Kansas are deeply
interested in the strike situation here at
Omaha. They are apprehensive that it will
further complicate the transportation Ques-
tion. and defer the longed for velief in
definitely possibly until seeding time,
which will further delay grain shipments
because of the busy farming season then
