ATTACKED BY HORNED ow
! Farmer is Hurt in Battle with Feath.
cred Chicken Thief.

Egg Harhor n. j.. July 27.-lEarly in
the morning George Fanslow. a farmer
living in South Egg Harb ~, was
aroused by an unusual connection OF
the chickens at his place. Partially
dressing himself he lighted a lantern,
and getting his shotgun, hurried to
the barn. where he expected to find
chicken thieves helping themselves.
AS he neared the barn the nose CON
tinued. and, not wishing to enter for
fear of an attack. he called to the
thieves to come out. When the same
noise continued with no response Fan
slow entered the barn.
He had hardly stepped inside when
he was attacked by large horned hoot
owl, which buried its taions deep into
his neck and shoulders and lacerated
his hands.
The attack was so sudden and UNI
expected that Fanslow was being
worsted and called for help. His son
heard his cries. went to his assistance
and succeeded in killing the owl with
Il club.
The bird measured four feet and two
inches from tip to tip and WAS the
largest horned owl ever killed in this
vicinity.

&. n. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, July 1--Wheat--There was
nothing but strength to the wheat mar
ket today. Prices at one time reached
yesterdays close on selling out of long
wheat, but thereafter the market ad
vanced rapidly. with but only slight re-
cessions and at the close prices show
ed good gains over yesterday. Foreign
news was very bullish and the market
was helped by bad crop advices and
strong cash markets. Sensational de-
cline In consols owing to the grave
aspect of affairs between England and
Russia, caused very strong markets
abroad and foreigners We're good buy
ers here, and there was also better
export demand for our wheat and
flour and on the whole bulls had every
thing their own way. There was no
selling of Importance except by longs
who took profits. There We're further
reports Of additional loss in wheat In
the southwest and advices from the
northwest were far from encouraging.
Complaints of rust are becoming gen
eral Primary receipts We're fairly large
but urgent demand more than offset
this influence. Cash wheat at Kansas

fhe market was not particu-
larry interesting while cables We're q

fiuence and While the market was

strength than to anything else. Local
traders are inclined to sell on crop
news, but are not putting out much

or less by action of wheat Trade was
not large and the market was ut n

cash demand rather slow. The wealth

steady There was fair buying by
commission houses but demand was
supplied by local traders who regard
crop news coming in as being decided

cash inquiry Is rather slow and this
has q tendency to restrict interest in
the market. Scalpers are disposed to
sell but owing TO wheat strength are
not offering much.
