EXCEEDS SUPPLY
Demand Took Small Supply of
Stock Readily

Denver Union Stock Yards, Sept.
ll.-All eastern markets reported a
big run of cattle last week and prices
Is to 25 per cent lower at the close.
Prices nere held up well, however,
as the demand was good and the
supply not heavy. Good light
weight steers are especially in de-
mand and prices closed steady to
strong. Another bunch of choice
North Park steers sold during the
week at 1925. 1t takes good stuff,
however, to bring better than s4,
and most of the trading was done
around So to So 80 Cows have been
scarce for the last three weeks and
the demand is strong here. Prices
closed 10 to Is per cent higher than
the preceding week. A top for the
week was made at S3.l5 but these
were choice, and most of the cows
offered were not very good and had
to sell below s2.65. Bulls were
steady at 81. S5 to 81. .25. The demand
for veals was strong and prices a
little higher with the top for the
week at Si.6O. The low rates which
prevailed to Denver from the east
last week brought good many feeder
buyers here and the demand was
good. Supply was limited, however,
and only few were able to get
what they wanted. Prices closed
fully steady with week ago on good
steers notwithstanding the decline
at other markets. Best fieshy
feeders sold around $3.50 to $3.50
with the fair to good at 50. rs to
S3 %.
The supply was liberal today at
all points. Chicago reported 80, 600
cattle on sale, the heaviest run of
the year, and prices consequently 10
to 10 per cent lower The supply
here was about 800, mostly beef
from North Park. Demand was
good and choice steers about steady
but the general run ) to 10 per cent
lower in sympathy with the eastern
decline Some choice 400 pound
steers sold at 81. 75 and q number of
sales of choice stuff were made at
81 to s4.60. Buyers were plentiful
for all kinds Especially feeders) and
would have taken good many more
had they been here.

Yankees Licked Japs.

A free for all fight took place at
the Silver State Packing company's
plant one day last week between the
japanese laborers at that place and
the Americans, in which a number
Of Japs were injured, but none of
them seriously.
The trouble was started among the
Japs and was participated in by the
whites in order to protect their fore
man, Mr.. Carlson. 1t seems as
though the .Japs were not satisfied
with the wages they were earning
and were sighting their work.
Attention was called to this fact
by the superintendent, Mr. Carlson,
and they refused to listen to him.
He then got the japanese foreman,
Mr.. Sachi, to undertake to make
them do better work. They at
tackled the foreman. when Mr.. Carl
son attempted to act as peacemaker.
The Japs turned on him, when the
rest of the white laborers took a
hand and cleaned the Japs out.

GOV. HOCH WAS HERE
Famous Trust Fighter Tells of
His Troubles

Governor and Mrs. E. w. Hoch Of
Kansas we're in this city last week
visiting the families of II. Il. Chur
chill and Edwin Coles. Governor
Hoch talked freely about his trust
busting experiences in Kansas and
his fight with the Standard Oil COM
pany. While the Rockefellers ap-
parently seem to have the upper
hand in Kansas now, Governor Hoch
says he has one or two cards that
may yet turn the tables in favor of
the Kansas oil producer.
One trust that Governor Hoch has
successfully fought was the binder
twine trust which formerly worked
the Kansas farmer to the extent of
l6 cents pound for binder twine.
To combat this Governor Hoch
started the manufacture of twine in
the state penitentiary at Lansing.
and while he could not supply the
entire demand he succeeded in ham
mering down the trust price to nine
cents a pound.

Raised Sweet Potatoes.

Wilson Turner who owns garden
tract in the northwestern part of the
city has succeeded this year in rails
ing good marketable sweet potatoes
the first, probably, ever grown in
Weld county. 1t has generally been
considered impossible to grow the
tubers in this climate.
One hill of the sweet potatoes
pulled by Mr.. Turner and brought to
the city showed good cluster of
roots, some of which were easily of
marketable size. Mr.. Turner has
only few hills of the potatoes, but
believes he will try it on a more eX-
tensive scale next summer. The
main difficulty will be the shortness
of the season, which may prevent the
maturing of the crop.

IS A BANNER YEAR
Bright Outlook at Agricultural
College

after three days of registration
the school authorities predict that
the agricultural college, of Fort Col
lins, student body, in both numbers
and quality, will be the banner one
of the school IS history.
Under the leadership of President
Aylesworth and new state board Of
agriculture, heroic measures have
been taken to place the school on a
par with the best institutions Of the
west. The weaker and less import
ant courses have been cut out and
hereafter all the energies of the gov
erning officials will. be directed
toward building up the four great
departments now making up the col
lege curriculum.
The student is now offered the
choice of four splendid lines of study
civil engineering, mechanical engi-
neering, agricultural and domestic
science. For the benefit of those
WlSllluS d llluolSdl CIdAhAu6 III ouNA-
tion to their regular work, an excel
lent musical course is offered, and
already many are taking advantage
of it.
New teachers for both engineering
and agriculture, with regulations
gained from good records in the past,
have come to the college during the
last year. New buildings for civil
engineering and agriculture will be
built soon and the young ladies have
been provided with dormitory
under college supervision. A three
dollar athletic fee from each enter
ing student places athletics on firm
financial basis.
No tuition ever has been charged
at the agricultural college, and for
rich and poor alike it offers the
best of opportunities for industrial
training and mental culture.
Both students and faculty predict
splendid things for the coming year.
The expectations are good school
work from strong, clean student
body and record work in intercolle-
giate athletics from strictly student
athletic teams. Republican.

Anthrax Again.

The disease anthrax has broken
out among milk cows OF this city
and about two dozen cows have died
during the past week. Veterinary
Surgeon Bird is now vaccinating
stock with the Pasteur anthrax vac
cine in the hopes of checking the in
roads of the disease. This first
showed itself among stock feeding
in the Platte bottom lands east of
this city, but by prompt action at
the time it was believed that the
disease had been checked. The

cattle here in town has caused Il
great deal of uneasineSS.

BREAKS OUT
NEWTON VORCE HAS AGAIN
TAKEN WAR PATH
Career of Desperate Who Once
Was the Terror of Weld and
Arapahos Counties
Now in Jail

Newton Norce, a desperate sem
fenced in 1893 to 10 years in the
penitentiary by Judge Downer of the
district court here, broke out in his
old spots again last week and is now
in the Denver county Jail. This
time he is said to have assaulted
gang of Italians near Byers. with
intent to kill.
Vorce's career of crime dates back
to the eighties when the country
about Deer Trail was especially ter
rorized by him. Among others of
his crimes he killed Deputy Sheriff
r.. B. Hollingsworth of Weld county
and for this crime in 1887 Sheriff
Cramer of Arapahoe county sent out
a posse near Deer Trail to capture
him. Vorce had previously given it
out cold that he would not be taken
alive and would kill any one who
came after him. The posse was led
by Colonel j. NJ. Chivington of Den
yer, who at that time was nearly 10
years old. The posse surrounded
Norce in dugout and besieged him
there for several days. They finally
prepared to smoke him out, and he
seeing that resistance was longer
useless, finally surrendered.
Norce was brought to Greeley and
tried before Judge I. NJ. Robinson,
S. S. Downer being at that time dis
trict attorney. He was convicted Of
the killing of Hollingsworth and
sentenced to IA years at Canon City,
but was pardoned by Governor Routt
in 1892.
Vorce remained fairly good for
about year after his pardon, and
then he filled up on bad whiskey at
Evans one evening and shot up that
town as it has never been done since.
John B. HUFF was city marshal at
Evans at the time and he tried to
arrest Vorce who then turned his
gun on the officer. The revolver
missed fire as it was held but few
inches from the officers face. Norce
then fled to the sand hills in the
country about Beebe Draw. James
Arthur was sheriff at the time and
he took the trail of the desperate.
He found him sleeping in his tent
among the sand hills, and creeping
up to where the man lay with gun
on each side of him, the sheriff
slipped a rope about the fellows feet
and yanked him out OF the tent and
away from his guns before he was
awake enough to realize what had
happened to him. His capture after
that was easy.
BY this time District Attorney
Downer had become district judge
Vorce was convicted again, James j.
Armstrong being foreman of the
jury. The judge pronounced sent
ence OF ten years. Now the prison
walls are again looming up before
Norce.

Cream Cake Requires Use of a Fork
and Asparagus May Be Taken
in Finger and Thumb.

Cream cake, and things of q SINH
lar nature, require IA fork to carry
them to the mouth; they should never
be bitten. Asparagus, if the stalks are
large and full, may be taken with the
finger and thumb; otherwise. a fork
should be used. Pastry of all kinds,
and raw oysters call for the fork alone.
Peas and beans must be eaten with the
fork. Green corn on the cob must
be held with the left hand only, and
eaten from left to right; il the cob
Is too long to hold, 1t should be brok-

Of the plate. When that is done, finger
