weapon. The man slashed Henry BUS
by with a pocketknife the previous
night. The gravity Of the case made
IT a matter for the state courts to
handle, and yesterday Jackson was
taken before Justice Goodman. He
told the court his story OF the ARRAY
and was held in $50 bonds to appear
today for preliminary examination.
Jackson could not furnish bonds and
was sent to Jail. There Is a strong
case against the man. who enjoys the
reputation OF being very decent sort
OF fellow when sober, but absolutely
worthless when under the influence Of

not seriously hurt, although he pre-
sented a dilapidated appearance after

living for the month of May just ended
has been less than for the same month

each month a series of price quotations
on some seveny-fve leading articles
and grades Of articles.
These quotations, which are whole
sale rates in the leading markets Of the
country. arc presented for each week
in the current month and thus give op
portunlty TO compare price conditions
at any given date with the correspond

prices quoted are in most cases the

prices in the Chicago market, of the
various grades of iron and steel those

Bridgevlle. June 13.-The strawberry
season is drawing to a close and it
has not been a very profitable one to
the growers. Some money has been
made but the profit per acre has not
been large. The yield per acre was
about half a normal crop and in some
eases not more than one-fourth a crop.
The season will be the shortest on
record, about two weeks. The drought
is partially responsible for the short
age. A heavy rain fell Thursday night
breaking the drought and thus helping
other fruit and vegetables.
The first week strawberries brought
good prices. ranging from six to ten
cents. but the following week thou
