Chickasaw country, when Davy Crock

"Old Man Giddins" was a prosperous
citizen Of the Forked Deer settlement.
One day he started on a trip to Ar
kansas, and thenceforth for several
years Forked Deer knew him no more.

Gus, and as nothing was heard Of Cid

by the court, and his estate divided
among his heirs. A year or SO later,
however. he turned up, and tried to
get possession of his property again.
He was promptly seized and taken into
court

MARKET LETTER.
Kansas City. Mo-. Feb, 20 10

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb, 20 1905
Live stock receipts at Kansas City
last week.
The cattle supply at all the markets last week
was contracted about third by the severe
weather, but a good share Of the stuff that was
held back has appeared today and big runs are
the rule at all the markets. Prices last week
averaged quarter higher than previous week
on killing cattle, netting good sum to those
shippers who were able to get their shipments
In, but the big runs today and for the next few
days will have to sell lower, fully back to the
average of week before last. In this way the
interruption to the movement of live stock last
week will affect great many shippers financl-
ally and will have benefited the smaller num-
Der.
There were more good steers compared with
total cattle supply, than for several weeks
Four or five dSoves sold at $500 to 1918, and
good many cattle sold at SIS to $3.50, bulk of
steers 81. SO to So. rs. The market dropped off
rapidly after Wednesday, which was high day
of the week. Cows and hefers sold little
eigher every day till Wednesday, al lost less
after that than steers. Good to choice heifers
sell at 81 to $44o, best cows SO to S4lo, bulk
of she stuff last.week S3.z5 to 1873. Very few
stockers and feeders are moving now, and de-
mand is light. Stockers sell at 1928 to SI.2O
feeders 1850 to $4.35. few cattle are selling
steady today but the market will average lOc
lower. Top steers $3.50 today.
Hog prices. have been going down for several
days, and are now 20 to rs cents lower than best
time last week. Heavy receipts the only
cause and after the surplus is worked of in the
next few days, market will no doubt make some
recovery. Prices are cents lower today, top
$3.50, bulk of sales 81 81 to 1885, pigs around
81. mixed weight packing hogs s4.7O Ito S4S5
Lambs weakened from their high figure
Thursday and Friday last week, but sheep held
steady till close of the week and prices then
ranged 20 to IS cents above close of previous
week. Market is 10 to 10 cents lower today hut
prices are still high. Top lambs today S775,
yearlings Sc 80, ewes SIS 80 and wethers bring
$3.50. Bulk of sales in each class within 60 or
rs cents of these iguree.
