COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS NO LIE After Slight Advance Demand
 Begins to Sag TRADING WAS VERY QUIET Weather Forecast Indicated Frost for Last Night Over the Western Belt,
 and This Was Factor In
 the Early Advance.
TRADING WAS VERY QUE

New York, October S.-The cotton mar ket opened firm at a decline of points on November. but generally unchanged to points higher on the firmer cables, less favorable weather and early esti- mates pointing toward smaller receipts. For a time it ruled fairly steady under further covering and bull support en- couraged by the unfavorable crop ad- vices. but after advancing to a level net to 5 points higher demand sagged and a sagging tendency developed which con- tinued more or less in evidence during the remainder of the session. Trading dur ing the entire days was quiet and there seemed to be little demand from any source, notwithstanding the bullish ten- dency of much of the news. The weather forecast indicated frosts for tonight over the western belt and this was a factor in the early advance. But with little demand, the realizing of the room. after the advances of yesterday in connection with some little pressure from bear sources, was sufficient to send prices off, and at one time the general list was net to points lower. Just before the close there was a little rally on the steadier tone reported in the southern spot mar kets, and the market was finally steady, net unchanged to poins lower Sales were estimated at 2500O0 bales. The steadier tone at Liverpool was ascribed to further demand from the continent, while it was also stated that the English mills would shortly resume operations on full time. The factors operating against the market were the unsettled Wall street conditions and the fact that re- ceipts overran early estimates, amount ing to some 51.611 bales, against 51,5S5 bales last year.

CITIZENS
Details of An Unprecedented
Robbery Are Given
THREE MEN TAKE SCORES
Outlaws Select Nine Valuable
Horses and Flee
THREE MEN TAKE SCORES

Guthrie, o. T., June 1S.-John Leahy Of
Pawhuska, a well known citizen of the
Usage nation, arrived in Guthrie this
morning and gave the details of an un-
precedented hold-up near Pawhuska last
Sunday Three men did the work and
it is believed that Ben Cravens. the no
torious fugitive from justice, was the
leader of the gang.
According to Mr.. Leahy. the first man
halted was Fred Keeler. He was taken to
a secluded spot and guarded. David
Ware was another Usage citizen halted
by the outlaws and he, TOO, was taken to
the same place where Keeler was guard
ed This work continued all afternoon
and by night there Were nearly one hun
dred persons under guard. There were
fifty horses belonging 10 various persons
in the party and from this number the
outlaws selected nine valuable animals,
returning the others to their owners.
No valuable were taken from the pris-
oners in the hold-up, and il seemed 10
be only an effort to secure good horses.
One revolver was found among the pris-
oners and this was taken by the outlaws.
Ware was practically the only man whose
discontinue seemed to please CraveGS4
the ring-Ieader He joked Ware often.
but that man could only reply, stating
what he might do in the future. Ware
at one time had been Texas ranger.
The three outlaws on Monday morning,
near Grey Horse. held up a number of
cowboys at a camp. They secured moth
ing there but their breakfasts.
Willard Johnson, the Usage trader, had
a party of visitors with him, and were
on a fishing expedition. The entire party
was compelled TO join the captives and
We're held with them. at the command
of Cravens. The hold-up took place about
twenty-four miles from Pawhuska and
the spot selected for the work was a
secluded place about one hundred yards
from the road through the nation
Some of the most prominent persons
in the Usage country were victims of
the three outlaws and the affair is with
out precedent in the annals of outlaVry
in Oklahoma. Deputy United States mar
shals were Immediately notified of the
hold-up and are making strenuous ef-
forts to apprehald the men.
Mr.. Leahy states that there is little
question but what Ben Cravens is at the
head of the gang and says that a num-
ber of persons recignozed him.

Rugged Game Between Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City. Q. T, June 1S.-Okla-
horna City made it three straight from
the Iawton team at Colcord park, win
ming by the score OF 10 TO 3. 1t was
rugged game and lacked the ginger ex-
.hibited IN the two previous games. The
Oklahoma City players, however, were
up to the Standard and played an error
less game. Pitcher Landgroff braced up
after the four runs made by the visitors
in the first inning and wit hthe faultless
support he received the Lawton players
We're Unable TO score but one more run.
The feature of the game was the heavy
batting of the locals, who secured some
fourteen hits to their credit. One of
the sensational plays of the season was
made In attempting TO field a ground
ball in Akins territory, Landgraff col
iided with the, plucly third baseman and
was thrown into the air over the latter
head. Akin fielded quickly and threw
the runner out at first. Another feature
was a 'sassing' match between mpire
Crotty and "Muggy McGraw" Flaherty.
