Davenport, Dec. 19.-Mrs. Christina
Stranger, the woman detected shoplift-
ing in this city, Thursday afternoon
and at whose home in Rock Island over
$500 worth of stolen plumber was re-
covered, was brought before Justice
Hall at o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The woman pleaded guilty to three
charges Of petty larceny and was fined
500 and costs upon each charge, which
amounted to 5000 in fines and costs
assessed at $50, making $3.50 in all.
Mrs. Stranger agreed with her attor-
ney to plead guilty to the three charg-
es of petty larceny and this proved
satisfactory to the merchants who had
lost by reason Of her depredations.
These merchants state that to have
bound the woman over to the grand
jury would have obliged them to keep
the stolen goods out Of their stocks as
evidence against her. and that as they
were anxious to place them back on
sale, they thought best to accept the
above settlement.
Mrs. Stranger promptly paid the
fine and was allowed to leave Justice
Halls court a free woman once again.

BUTCHERS CUTTING PRICES.
Sioux City Meat Dealers Cut Loose
From Price Agreement.


Sioux City, Dec. 10. = After several
months of silence, during which time
Sioux City butchers complied with an
agreement to maintain satisfactory
prices, break came Saturday. A num-
Der of the large dealers began slashing
prices.
A difference of opinions exists as to
the cause of the break. Some reports
say the move has been made to cline
up" some of the smaller and independ-
emit dealers.
Prominent members of the associat-
ion assert that there has no such
plan. and that they are not DESTROYS
of forcing the smaller dealers into the
association or driving them to the
wall 1t is reported, however, that
west side markets have been evading
their price agreement by selling ~
and w pounds of meat as pound.
One butcher said as he glanced down
over the large black signs in his win
dows:
"Those prices are competitive. am
selling meat for just what can afford
to sell it. can buy 1t for less today
than I could a few weeks back at
prices which will enable me to MAIN

His attorney made a plea for leniency.
The court before pronouncing sentence
briefly reviewed the case and in closing
stated he would be glad to exercise
leniency, but in view or Wheeler being
a man Of mature years, and apparent
Nv a man of more than average intelli-
gence. he could see no 'extenuating cir

Of stock raisers in this vicinity the

to answer the above question satisfac-

Local veterinarians are of the opin-

deadly that before medical assistance
can be procured the animal Is dead.

for the stock raisers to do is to pillow
