THE FOURTH
AS Enjoyed BY the People of
Elk City.

with a beautiful sunrise and dy-
Mantle explosions which gave
promise of a hot day in Elk City.
Although the rain clouds gathered
about noon they did not burst
in sufficient quantity as to soil
Old Glory as it waved in the
gentle zephyrs, nor to mar the
pleasures of the large and p5tri-
otic throng which had gathered
to do honor to the nations great
est holiday.
Women and children, as, we'll
as the hoary haired gold-seeilers,
garbed in their gala attire, SEEM
ed filled with that patriotic spirit
which was only equaled by the
signers of the declaration of in
dependence one hundred and
twenty-eight years ago. They
had assembled to celebrate, these
liberty-loving people Of Elk City,
and with all the available fire
crackers and combustables at
their command they proceeded to
make merry while preparations
for the races and other sports
were being arranged.
Following is a summary of the
principal events:
In the free-for-all horse race
Mrs. Herrington's bay gelding,
Snip, first reached the wire for a
$40 purse, with Alma Litchfeld
on her Little Jim a close second,
winning second purse of $40.
The poney race was won with
F. Thornton's bay mare, Nellie,
for $40 purse, while M. Rice, or
White Clond, came in second fol
half as much.
A purse of S. was given for {
slow race in which Nancy Hanks
owned by M. Rice, managed tC
kill time enough to win the purse
while u. G. Kinkaid's Ed X. lit
tie in the lead saved the entrance
fee. Geo. Shissler, with a noble
disregard of all the rules, rode
every race with a strenuosity thar
deserved better success; as it was
he only succeeded in mounting the
winning steed in this race.
In the consolation race Alma
Litchfeld did a noble stroke O.
riding and brought Little jim
under the wire for first money,
purse Of $40, with H. Poyneer's
sorrel gelding a close rival.
In the foot race Miles Ric'
proved himself a sprinter of n,
, mean ability, wining the $5 purs,
with ease. He also took frs
: money in the sack race, a purs
, of $5, and then cleared 8 feet

caused an investigation to be made of their implements. No guns Of eonse~ quence were found at that time but if was thought that they had been sent out of the country
 The Mexicah consul informed the secretary of state of the Mexican re- public of, his discovery and asked for further instructions. He lately re- ccived a reply from the secretary stat Ing that~he had communicated with Ambassador Mariscat by whom the matter would be brought to the atten- ton of the Washington authorities. He suggested in the meantime that MT Pima lay the subject before the terri totial officials and ascertain if the sale or firearms to YaquIs could not in some way be prohibited That was done, but there is no action that could be taken without direction from the gen. craI government and it is doubtful if the government itself could prevent the private sale of firearms to the Yaquis.
 Some of the secondhand dealers were seen about these sales and they said that they had been selling lately a great many Tifles-so many, in fact that they wondered at the volume of the business. But they did not know that they were selling them for use against the Mexican government. The purchasers were swarthy men, wearing high hats. and were believed to be MeXicans Most Of the dealers said { that they would not sell a Yaquf g gun.
 In the earlier stages of the trouble between the Yaquis and the Mexican government the operations of the In- dians were directed wholly against MeXicans. They have for the last two years been less discriminating, and several American prospectors and miners have been killed by theRd.

MARKET THEN BECAME DULL

NEW YORK. May 31.-The stock mar
ket opened only moderately active. but
with general advances amounting TO Il
in Atchison, Texas Pacific, and Smelt-
ers. OF the active list the Steel stocks
alone were heavy. Detroit Southern
preferred lost a. The International list
averaged a higher.
The influence which appeared to be
paramount when the stock market
opened was the unexpectedly favorable
character Of Saturdays bank statement.
The fairly good condition of London
quotations for Americans during the
New York holidays was also encour-
aging. The announcement Of the fall
ure of q large cotton house. however
caused a little disturbance Of sentiment.
The speculation became less active ana
prices receded sufficiently to wipe out
nearly all the early gains Chicago and
Alton was off 1 per cent from the open
ing. which was y a point below last
after opening strong, were put under
some pressure. In the industrial list the
recent bull movement in American
Smelling made further progress. Brook
lyn Rapid Transit opened firm, but later
yielded with the rest of the list. After
the first hour the market generally SUI
fcred additional listless declines.
Trading has been light. but there has
been some pressure OF long stock, most

mainly through Indifferent support ana

inclined to work for rally. The DonC
