PRICE FIVE CENTS.
WEEKLY STOCK YARDS LETTER
Force Not Yet Sufficient 70 Ea,s1s All
stock-Nothiag But Best Grades
Taken by Packers.

South Omaha, Neb., Aug. IL
For the information of shippers
of livestock, commission men here
request that announcements made
that conservatism should be used
IN the shipment of livestock dur
ing the early part of the week Mt
least. The strike is still in prog.
ress and while the packers are Sc.
curing new men each dev. the
force is not yet sufficient to han
die all of the stock u~susally sent
to this, or any other market.
The supply received during the
past week was about double that
of the preceding week and it was
all taken by the packers, with the
exception of some common grades
of cows. For this latter class
there is no demand, except among
the spectators, and shipments, if
any are made, should be made
with a view to a limited market.
In short, nothing but the best
grades of livestock are being tax
en- by the packers, as the demand
for meats has sIackened, both be-
cause of hot weather and because
the higher prices to the consum-
er caused by the packing house
strike in the various packing cen
tiers.
The slump in prices which oc-
Cured early last week, was regain
ed towards die close of the week,
SO hat at the time of this cores
pondence fair to good grades of
steers are selling around 1913.
1t is probable that the choicest
brands will bring slightly better
prices. Advice should be obtain
ed from responsible local sources
however, before any shipments
are made.
The principal fear seems to be
that when the strike is ended the
rush of cattle to the markets will
be so great as to drive prices into
IA well. Shippers + therefore,
cautioned to hold stock for at
least a few days after announce
ment is made that the strike has
been ended, SO as TO avoid reach
ing market when everyone else is
doing the same thing.
With the increase in the num-
Der of men the packers have made,
killing is being gradually resumed
to its former daily average, but it
will yet be some time before the
normal capacity of the plants at
the central markets will be re-
gained.
Price quotations are nominal
and one days figures are no IN
dex to those of the next. As has
been stated. only the choicest
grades are in demand and it will
be money thrown away to ship III
half fed stock of any sort,
South Omaha will pay as much
as any other market, but the same
condition as to market and prices
prevails here hat prevails at all
other livestock %centers.
The strikers are quiet, as a gem
eral thing, and while they occa-
sionally succeed in turning back a
small bunch of strike breakers
the packers more generally sue
coed in getting the men into the
packing houses.

DYMAMITING THE FISH
Five Men Caught Red LANDED in Dillon
But Leave in Night Break
ing Parole.

ing Parole.
Dillon fishermen had barely be-
gun to congratulate themselves
that in the near vicinity was the
best trout fishing in the county
when the news was brought in
that the fish were being killed
with dynamite.
Spring Creek Lake lies Just ov-
er the divide, about three miles
from Dillon, and is one of those
gems of nature which render the
mountains so attractive. 1t is
about three quarters OF a mile
long by a quarter wide, and al
though stocked with brook trout
four years ago this is the first sea-
son that it has been tished. Last
Saturday Ray Ferris and Jim
Robb caught eleven speckled
beauties weighing between two
and three pounds apiece. Sun
day about forty more were caught
by different parties, none of
which weighed less than two
pounds.
Wednesday morning Robert
Griffin appeared before the JUS
tice of the peace and swore out a
warrant for the arrest of five men
who were using dynamite to kill
the fish in the lake. A deputy
sheriff Immediately started for
the lake, but met the men return
ing and brought them before JUS
tice Wood, who set the time for
their preliminary hearing for
the following morning, The
men arrested were Jas. Robi-
nette, Fred Greenbeck, Chas.
Kimball, Dave Miller and Joe
Pickens, and were all working
at the mine. Owing to the lack
of facilities for holding men I'M
der arrest and the fact that all
the men under arrest were so well
known, they were released upon a
personal RECONNAISSANCE to appear
for a preliminary hearing.
In the morning 1t was learned
that all of the men had broken
their parole and left during the
week for parts unknown. 1t is
thought that they made at once
far the line and crossed over into
Colorado.
The penalty for this otfense is
unusually severe, the minimum
being $3.50 or II year in the peni-
Tertiary. There were five or six
witnesses to the blasting, WHO
claim that half a dozen charges
were exploded, some with as much
as seven sticks of giant. Very
few fish were obtained, for the
lake is very deep and. fish killed
by blasting will not rise to tie
surface in still water until decom.
position sets in. How many were
actually killed will probably
never be known, but the fishing
at the lake is spoiled for some
time to come be cause of the heavy
explosions.
1t would have been a good les
son to game and fish hogs if the
full. penalty could have been met
ed out in this instance. Except
where complaint is filed the EN-
forcement of game laws is rather
lax. Each man should consider
himself Il self constituted game
warden, and if orr game and fist
are to be- preserved it will only bt
by the cooperation of all to en-.
force the laws.-Doublejack.
