HoLpuP ATTACKS WOMEN.
Attempts to Rol, in Dooryard Of Their
Own Residence.

Fort Dodge, March 30.-The most
daring attempt at a holdup that ever
occurred in Fort Dodge was that which
was made last evening at about o.
clock, when Mrs. Lizzie Trainer and
daughter We're attacked in the door
yard Of their own residence on Second
avenue north and Ninth street, as they
were returning from the postoffice.
They had been followed by man
from First avenue north, but thought
nothing of the matter till he turned in
to their yard and catching Mrs. Train
err struck her twice on the right cheek
in a manner that looked like he had
aimed at her temple. AS the daughter
screamed he left the mother and
struck the young woman a violent
blow on the back of the head which
sent her staggering across the walk
and onto the parking. BY this time
the screams of the two women had
aroused the neighborhood and becom-
ing frightened, the fellow ran on east
where he disappeared. The matter has
been placed in the hands of the police.

FUGITIVE DOCTOR WRITES.
Dr.. Hartmann Says He Will Return to

Dubuque of His Own Accord.
Dubuque, March 30.-I will return
to Dubuque of my own accord, as |
don't intend to be slandered any more,
andAthen will give everybody a chance
to prove what they swore to-" writes
DR. p. III. Hartmann in a letter dated
at New York on March %. The post
mark on the envelope, however, shows
that it was mailed at Detroit on
March &c, all of which gives rise to
the theory that Dubuque's fugitive doc
tor is endeavoring to keep his pres
ent whereabouts a matter of specula-
ton.
Dr. Hartmann was a specialist in Du-
buque for number of years, and about
eighteen months ago he deserted his
wife. leaving for parts unknown. Mrs.
Phoebe Kiefer left at the same time
and the charge was made that they
had gone away together. Mrs. Har-
mann seemed sure they We're living to-
gether and she swore out warrants for
the arrest of both Mrs. Kiefer return
ed to East Dubuque where She was
arrested and brought to this side, but
later was released. A few weeks later
she left Dubuque again and it is said
she is now with DIR. Hartmann, wher-
ever he is.

Small Supplies Today Caused
Animated Trading at Yester-
days Advance Of 10 to Is
BUTCHER CATTLE WERE ACTIVE
stocker and Feeder Market Remained
Animated at Recent Advance-Good
Supply of Hogs Gave Plenty of
Choice at Decline of About 5 Cents
Sheep Prices Held Well.

Cattle prices were largely % high
or this week as a result of the small
supplies. Today trade was animated
at Yesterdays advance of 10@1a.
Butcher cattle are active and the
stocker and feeder trade was very &C
tive at the recent advances.
Compared with the sag in the trade
recorded last week, the general mar
ket yesterday shows an advance of 20
cents on about all grades of stuff The
light medium cattle have indicated
more Improvement than any other
class, but still the good grades have
creeped upward several notches.
Hogs.
There was a good aggregate supply
today of $4,000. Buyers We're able to
fill orders at about 5 below the average
Wednesday prices. The bulk of sales
was at $5.20@5.30.
AS shippers are paying around 5
cents in the country, prices current
yesterday did not let them out, most
of the hogs showing a net loss of Is
OPS cents. This is calculated to check
the movement and was responsible for
prediction that todays market would
be the lowest of the week. The lib
eral run of the past three days is at
tributed to the arrival of a lot of stock
that would have been here last week
but for miry country roads. These
have dried out since and shippers have
displayed desire to market hogs con-
tracted for delivery on or before the
first of the month.
Sheep.
Supplies have been large this week.
but the active demand from all classes
of buyers has resulted in maintaining
prices on the whole, particularly for
choice sheep and lambs. Today there
was a good general demand, and prices
held steady.
Half-week supply has been liberal,
both at Chicago and Missouri river
points, a lot of recently shorn stuff
having been thrown on the market.
The half-week run here is approx
mately 66,547, against 1854 last week
and 67,339 a year ago. There has, how
ever, ben decided Improvement in
shipping demand, 1900 having found
that outlet against $500 last week and
1900 a year ago. Eastern markets
are relatively higher than Chicago and
if this continues shipping demand will
improve.

ment inserted by Mr.. Byers Accord
ing to the papers filed in the divorce
case. things did not run any too
smoothly and the climax came last
December when Mrs. Byers was woun-

that her husband tried to kill her;
while he contends that the gun was ac-
cidently discharged. being in her pos
