NEW YORK COTTON, Nov. 22-The cotton
market opened easy at u decline of 5@7 points
in response to lower cables and apprehensions
that the first installment of the ginners' report
expected at midday would make a bearsh show
ing. In addition, some liquidation was promoted
by reports of free offerings of spot cotton in the
south and a generally easier situation. But
there Is still much uncertainty over the probable
showing over the governments estimate on crop
on Dec 3, and, while professional sentiment
here is bearish average and the market follow
ing the call had an unsettled appearance there
was enough covering to prevent any rapid de-
cline, and prices during the first hour showed
comparatively little change. Liverpool and
New Orleans appeared to be selling here, while
some Of the warehouses were buying and smaller
shorts covered. $500

Three Alleged Safe Robbers Held to
District Court.

Three Alleged Safe Robbers Held to
District Court.
When the cases against the three
alleged safe robbers and diamond
thieves are finally disposed of Vel
lowstone county will be called upon
to foot bill for costs that threatens
to be "a generous one, Judging from
the expense so far involved
The trio, Ed Buckley, William West
and P. F. Griffin, alias "Al Burns"
were arraigned before Justice Fra
ser yesterday morning, on separate
complaints. The arraignment was for
preliminary hearing, the men having
pleaded on former occasion. Instead
demanded, the attorney for the de.
fense, F. H. Hathhorn, announced
that his clients would waive and ask
ed the court to fix bonds for their ap-
pearance in the district court. This
was done and they were held in the
sum of $3.50, each. Being unable to
furnish bail they were committed to
the custody of the sheriff.
AS before stated, the bill of ex-
pense that the county will have to
meet promises to be a heavy one. The
first costs incurred were when Buck
ley was brought back from Miles
City, where he was arrested while at
tempting to dispose of one of the
diamonds supposed to have been sto-
len by him. Next considerable item
arose when Sheriff Hubbard went to
Jamestown, N. D., after West and
Griffin, where those two worthless were
caught, after trying to sell the watch
es and badge believed to have been
taken from the safes of the brewery
and steam laundry On top of this
was piled the cost yesterday of Sc
curing attendance of three witnesses
from Miles City, to appear against
Buckley. OF course, they will have
to come back when the case is call
ed in the district court. In addition
there will be the ATTENDANCE and.
perhaps, mileage of a number of other
witnesses.
