said Houston was justified in
said shooting"
The jury was composed of S.
n. Tevis, foreman; George
Moore, Chas. E. Haffcke, Edward
T. Burrus, w. B. Robbins ard j.
f. Gebhardt.
The jury's verdict meets with
general approval in the COM
munity where the killing oc-
Cured.
Houston is 33 years old, mar
ried and has a step daughter and
two children Of his own. He
bears good reputation, and so
far as Johnson was concerned
Houston had been patient and
long, suffering, and it is regard
ed as a wonder that he had not
killed Johnson sometime ago.
After the killing, Houston
went over to Justice l.. G. Burrus'
and gave himself up. He was
kept under guard until the arriv-
al of Deputy Sheriff S. j..
Shaughnessy Sunday. After the
inquest was held he was brought
to Keytesville and lodged in jail
on official papers issued by JUS
tice Burrus. No time has yet
been set for Houston's prelimi-
nary trial, and there may be
none at all.
Johnson, the man killed, is "a
or 80 years OF age, and had been
married, but he and his wife had
separated. He had no children.
His remains were turned over to
relatives for interment.

o4 uuoW W1Ch3 I4Us
WHEAT-This market made a
good recovery from yesterdays
break and held strong at a frac-
tional advance until rumor was
set afloat of war in the Balkans
and of heavy buying by leading
brokers, supposedly for the
Armour account, and then the
market turned very active and
stronger selling up to the high
mark for this move. Closing
strong within fraction of the
top. The cash situation is inn
proving and flour prices stiffen-
ing. There is bull argument
plenty and the bears can find
but little to comfort them. The
July option is sold confidently
at times, but shows up strong
and healthy after every dive.
However it looks like sale on
hard spots and | believe it will
break before the May option and
break worse.
CORN AND OATS-Sh W ng
splendid recuperative powers
and rallied easily to-day, re-
covering over cent. each. Corn
and oats offer good scalping op-
portunities and, while they will
be aft ected by the fluctuations in
wheat, have a value all their own
and cannot hurt you much under
present conditions. Buy them
on any breaks.
PRovI5IoNs-Recovered quick
ly from each downturn caused
by sympathy with grain and
closed strong at near the top
figure for this movement to-day.
May pork and May lard are es-
pecially attractive and will sell
very much higher. Estimated
receipts of hogs are not being
realized and prospects are that
they will not be this week. We
ought to see a nice advance in
all provisions this week.
SToCKs:-Rule dull and feat
ureless with sagging tendency
entirely dominated by fear OF
Oriental complications, and | do
not look for any great recovery
while the outcome remains in
doubt.
Domestic conditions all favor a
QUILL market. Money rules very
easy, and sentiment is rather
bullishly inclined.
PRICE CURRENT.
Variable weather without snow
causes some anxiety.

mite harm noted. Disposition to

Live Stock Market j..

| Special to the COURIER.
Kansa City, Mo-, Feb. Is,
1904. Cattle receipts here last
week amounted to $1,000 head,
an increase of 5000 over the
previous week. The best class
of fat steers gained 10 to 10
cts; medium grades sold steady,
and unfinished steers lost 10 to
20 cts. Good butcher stuff, bulls
and veal calves sold strong,
stockers and feeders were steady.
Common cows and Gamers were
dull and hard to move. This
week begins with fewer cattle
than same time last week, and
prices are a little better. Choice
fat steers are 10 to Is cts. above
last week. Top to-day is S5.25
for steers not so good as those
that brought same figures last
week. Nice stockers from 900
to 900 lbs. and heavy feeders in
this flesh sell best in stocker and
feeder division; ; others are barely
steady. Good COWS and heifers
bring S2..75 to S4, veal calves up
to $3.50.
Hog prices did not hold all the
strength acquired early last
week, but finally closed 10 to Is
cts. above close of previous
week. Prices were higher yes
terday and to-day, top to-day
oeing 1922 1-2, and bulk of all
sales S4.95 to S5.15. Heavy
hogs bring $50 and up. Big
slump in provisions late to-day
affected the late hog market, and
the close was weak.
Sheep prices were strong all
last week, and the same is the
rule 80 far this week. Receipts
are iberal-12.C coo head for two
days, but the demand is ample,
and more could be placed.
Western fed stuff is selling at, for
lambs, SIS to 1918, yearlings up
to So; wethers, o4.35; ewes, S4.
Natives bring shade more than
these prices.

A HOMICIDE.

JOHNSON WAS HUNTING FOR
TROUBLE.

lives in tenant house on Mrs.
Mary Linneman farm about
one half mile south Of Forest
Green.
VIM. Johnson, COL, alias VIM.
Merrett, alias VIM. Pitts, had
been making his home at Hous-
toms for the past two or three
years, and had almost contin-
ously been disturbing element
in the family owing to his alleged
criminal intimacy with Mrs.
Houston and his abusive and
brutal treatment of the children.
Houston would occasionally
make johnson leave, but he,
! like a bad penny, would return
again, and more trouble would
ensue.
Matters came to a climax last
Saturday evening when Johnson
went to Houston's about o'clock
after an absence Of about
week. Only Houston's step
daughter, Julia Embree, and her
baby, and Houston's daughter
and his son were at home at the
time. Johnson burst in the
door to the house, ran the chill
dren out, and they fled to Mrs.
Linneman's. Johnson exhibited
an open knife as he entered the
house and swore he intended to
kill Houston and his wife, and
started in search of them. In
the meantime the children re-
turned home.
Houston had heard them hollo
as ne was coming from Chas.
Schord's, and when he got near
the house he met Johnson, who
had climbed over in a hogpen only
a short distance from the house.
Houston told Johnson he ought
to be ashamed to act that way,
and johnson told Houston he
was not afraid of him, showed
his hand into his right trousers
pocket and started toward Hous-
ton, who had been out rabbit
hunting, and had shotgun with
hir. Houston leveled the gun
at Johnson and fired, the load
taking effect in Johnson's right
breast and tearing a hole nearly
as large as a silver dollar. See
ing that Johnson did not fall,
Houston fired again, but failed
to get the gun in range and the
charge went wide of it's intended
target. Houst n then reloaded
the gun and fired the third time,
shooting johnson in the left side
Of the head and about two inches
above the ear, tearing a hole in
the skull fully as large as the
one in the right breast. Either
wound would have produced
death. AS johnson fell forward
his forehead was fractured by
striking a rail or the frozen
ground. His dead body was
still in the hogpen when DR..
B. Hughes, coroner, arrived up.
on the scene between II and IL
O'Clock Sunday morning to hold
an inquest.
Johnson, with his body frozen
stiff, his forehead crushed, his
bloody face, his CLASSY eyes, his
brains partly oozed from the hole
in mis- head and the frightful
wound in his right breast, pre-
sented a CHASTITY spectacle.
A coroner's jury was empan-
elled, who, after hearing the tes-
timony offered by Julia Embree
and John Houston, the man who
shot Johnson, returned the fol-
lowing verdict:
THE VERDICT.
"We, the jury, find that VIM.

were not present nor were they
represented by proxy.
The meeting was called to or
lder by Chairman NJ. w. Ander-
son with Secretary R. D. Ed
wards at post of duty.
On motion of T. H. Carskadon
it was decided to nominate the
candidates for the various county
officers by primary election
w. A. Wilkinson moved that
Saturday, April 2, be fixed as the
date of the primary. After an
interesting discussion, in which
some members of the committee
and several of the county candi-
dates took part, the date sug-
gested by Mr.. Wilkinson was
chosen.
So far the places and dates for
the different state and district
conventions have been fixed as
follows:
State judicial convention, to
nominate a candidate for supreme
judge, st. Joseph, June ri; state
delegate convention to select
delegates to the national con-
vention at St. Louis, Joplin,
June 20; state nominating con-
vention to nominate candidates
for state officers, other than su-
preme judge, Jefferson City, July
19; judicial convention to nomi-
nate a candidate for judge of
this (the Twelfth) circuit, Car
rollton, June Z.
The manner of choosing the
above delegates led to motion
by Judge l.. H. Herring to the
effect that a state primary he
held Saturday, March 10, to
determine what candidates for
state officers should receive the
support of Charlton county.
j. A. Collet offered substitute
for Judge Herring's motion and
named Saturday, May %, as the
date for township mass meetings
to elect new township committee
men and select delegates to a
county convention, to be held at
Keytesville Tuesday, May 81, to
choose delegates to the state and
district conventions. This SUBJ
stitute, offered by Mr.. Collet,
precipitated spirited discussion
and when the debate had ended,
and just before Chairman An
derson called for a vote on the
substitute, Judge Herring asked
