SHEEP-There were about 1000 head OF
sheep and lambs reported this morning, but
they were nearly all consigned direct to
local packers and were not offered on the
market. The few punches that were on
sale were picked up in a hurry at good
steady prices Some sheep and yearlings
sold for $3.50. There has been so little stun
on sale this week that II is difncult to tell
much about the true situation, and about
all that can be said is that the demand Is
active for all good stun and prices are fully
steady for the week.
Feeders have shown no particular change
as receipts have been exceedingly light
and while the demand has not been heavy
It has been suficient to take the few that
have arrived.

HOGS-There was another liberal run of
hogs here this morning and the market
opened fully nickel lower than yesterday,
as Chicago was quoted 5dlOc lower. Trad
ing was fairly active at the decline, and It
soon became evident that packers all had
to have a good many hogs and that there
were none too many to fill their require
ments. As a result the prices kept getting
better until practically all of the decline
vas regalned. The early sales went largely
from $685. to Sc, while the late sales went
mostly from $6 to $685. The bulk of all the
hogs sold from $5Sh to $6.02k, with the
choice loads selling mostly from $e.O5 10

rivals were disposed of before the middle

Victim Dragged Through q Town,

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
VALPARAISO. Ind, Aug. S.-For a tirne
tonight ii was feared an attempt would be
made to lynch a negro who is in jail here
under guard. The determined stand taken by
the sheriff, however, cooled the ardor OF the
would-be lynchers. and at midnight all
was quiet on the streets
About 4 o'clock this afternoon, while Mrs.
u. S. Biggs, young woman thirty years
OF age, who is the wife of Washington
township, Porter county, farmer, was alone
at her home with two small children, a
negro. who afterwards gave his name to
the authorities John Wilson, and a
stranger, came TO the door and asked for
matches to go to a field to roast some corn.
He later returned and asked for salt and
pepper. While on this trip Wilson caught
Mrs. Biggs by the throat and choked ana
kicked her while attempting TO criminally
assault her. Mrs. Biggs is now in q very
critical condition.
When the crime became known relatives
and farmers In the vicinity, armed with
which started in pursuit OF the negro.
AT Winslow Station, the nearest village.
the telephone was used to notify officers in
escaped the posse, jumped on a freight
train and went to Wanatah. ten miles west
of Valparaiso. Here Deputy Sherins Mat
thews and Billy Wilson. the latter a school
teacherj and pugilist. saw the negro
and ordered him to STOP. The negro drew a
long knife and threatened to kin them.
Wilson picked up stone, struck the negro
and felled him to the ground

to the county Jail here while Sheriff La
count and a score Of deputies were search
ing the roads. The prisoner arrived at the
Jail here at $50 tonight and gave his
name as John Wilson, saying he was from
Pittsburg. Pa. and that he had been work.
ing on the railroad. At the jail Wilson was
surly and declined to talk of the affair,
although asking queer questions. The off,
GERS believe he is feigning insanity. Farm
ers living in the vicinity OF the Biggs home
and people here are greatly incensed and
neighbors and Biggs's friends threaten vio-
lence.
Sheriff Lacount said tonight: "I do not
fear an outbreak Of a mob, but IL there is
L have dozen armed men here in case of
mob violence
At o'clock the negro confessed to Sheriff
Lacount that he committed assault and bat
terry, but denied having ravished the woman.
At IL o'clock there was still some talk OF
lynching the negro. but at midnight there
were few pqeople on the streets. The jail
force was doubled. Lack of a leader un-
doubtedly prevented an attempt TO take the
negro by force. A number of farmers bought
cartrides at the stores tonight and a bust
ness man offered to furnish rope. but the
crowd lacked a leader.

The injured will recover as their wounds
consist of cuts and bruises. The property
loss will not be great, for most of the
homes destroyed were the humble huts
occupied by the miners and In most cases
belonged to the coal companies.

DENVER, Col, Aug. S-A pretty ro-
nance eliminated here to-day in the mar
riage of DR.. o. M. Sachse. of the Roosevelt
Hospital. New York. and Miss Pearl Cur

The groom came here on vacation tour
and the bride brought her sick father here

a tent at Berkeley lake. near the city. and
month ago, while at the edge of the
lake dipping water, she slipped and fell
in. DR.. Sachse, who had never seen her be-
fore. chanced TO be near by and rushed TO
her rescue. Both were dripping wet when
they emerged from the water and Miss
Curtis invited DR.. Sachse to go to the tent
and remove the traces of his impromptn
bath. The acquaintance thus romantically
begun quickly ripened into love. Mr.. Curtis
gave his consent and to-day Miss Curtis
became the Doctors wife. They have a new
tent near that of Mr.. Curtis.

Because He Had Grievance
Against Controlling Interest.
NEW YORK TRADERS PUZZLED
CANADIAN PACIFIC ONE OF THE
FEW STOCKS THAT GAINED.
General Alarm Over the Increase of
$4,OOO,OOO I'm Loans Shown by
the Bank Statement.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The stock market,
which opened very heavy and unsettled,
broke violently in the last hour of to-days
brief session, one of the disturbing factors
being the unfavorable bank statement.
Forecasts had prepared all hands for loss
of cash, but the increase of almost s4O00,OO
in loans excited general alarm and prices
tumbled through the list.
Union Pacific was subjected to a special
drive, resulting in an extreme loss of al
most five points on very large transactions.
Brooklyn transit suffered in similar fashion,
breaking five points. and number of
stop-loss orders in both stocks came out
In fact, the course Of both stocks sug-
gested forced selling.
Rumor credited famous operator, whose
fortunes have recently been somewhat i'm
paired, with being the chief engineer in the
attack upon Union Pacific. This operator,
is was said, had a grievance against the
Union Pacific party.
Net declines greater than those previously
mentioned were recorded. Here are a few:
American Snuff, points; Northwest pre-
ferred, Z; Consolidated Gas, 51k: Delaware
& Hudson, 4, and Great Northern preferred,
