therefore refrained from shooting,

on motion of the district attorney.

other belongings that he had taken
from it, and finally took the officers 10
an old shack in the northwest part of
the city where he had hidden the grip

Owing to the rapid development of
the district north of the city. and that

and hotel the Santa Fe has determined
to open, in the near future, a fully

and it has been determined to extend
it to the school. This will greatly i'm"

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET

today, Notwithstanding the receipt of

basis of an important advance. Cali
fornia crop. according to San Francisco
adyices, will not be more than half
promised a month ago, but that means
about 100000 reduction OF the entire
country's yield, and was ineffective in
the face of declining cash prices for
new wheat. Minneapolis had a sample
OF wheat affected by black rust, but it
would be nothing for an industrious
searcher to get something in that red
dust painted country that might pass
for the more virulent poison without
its being OF the really harmful sort
July wheat closed l Is down and Sep

was easier and closed weak and half
cent lower for old July, and ss cent
down for September. Oats lost 4 cent
