a poor man. returned yesterday with his
dream of riches realized.

Chicago, May .-Cattle-Receipts for
the first half of the week We're $4,000
against $1,000 last week. The market
was more active today and prices were
stronger to ten higher. The decline
the first half of the week was partly
recovered. There was a strong de-
mand for light handy cattle. Big heavy
steers that lack quality We're dis
eliminated against.
Hogs-Receipts the first half of the
week were $4,000 against 800 last
week. The decrease in receipts failed
to check the downward course and
there was a further break today Of

"The market mas been on toboggan
slide lately, and just when the bottom
will be reached is a problem that re-
mains unsolved." said a hog trader to
the Live Stock World. If other years
can be taken as a criterion the months
of May and June will furnish us more
hogs than the months preceding them.
and the coming May and June will
probably furnish no exception to the
general rule. I am not claiming that
any large number of hogs will come
here during these months, but it is
probable that enough hogs will come to
aid the bear movement that seems to
dominate things in the provision pit at
the present time. Notwithstanding this
fact, growers need not be alarmed be-
cause hogs will be scarce enough dur
ing the entire summer to make feeding
hogs a profitable vocation. Hogs could
go considerably lower than they are at
present and yet yield good return
for the labor and grain that go into the
of them. The trend of the
market seems to be downward and
traders in the country should govern
themselves accordingly. at least until
the hoggy months are behind us"

Lexington, KY, Nav 6.-Wood c.
Dunlap. of this city, left yesterday for
Jackson, KY. as attorney for the flu
sionists in the Breathitt county con-
tested election eases. He succeeds as
counsel James b. Marcum, who was
killed in the court house Monday while
filing papers in these cases. 1t is feared
here that the proceedings at this time
will precipitate further trouble in the
Cockrill- Hargis feud in which a half
dozen lives have already been lost.
A telegram from a member of the
Hargis faction to ex-senator Alexander
Hargis. at Winchester. said that Belvin
Even. who was talking with Marcum
Monday when he was shot, recognized
the murderer. Even when seen yester-
day refused to say who fired the shots
or who was recognized. The belief is
that the feud is now reo?ened.

from the top of the tower. As 1t hap

out several feet over the sidewalk. 1
struck the roof of this cornice and shot
through it like cannon bali. This
broke my fall, and got up from the
ground without hurt. By measuring
afterwards it was found that I had
fallen two hundred feet"
Twas just pure luck that kept me
from being killed. I believe it's ali In
