Kansas City Stock Market.

The heaviest cattle run Of this fall
arrived this week, $1,000 head, in
cluding 1000 calves, in three days.
Colorado has been lightly repre-
sented so far, the Panhandle has
contributed a good many. but bulk
of the stuff has been from Okla
homa, Kansas and from below the
quarantine line. The market on
killing steers is ten to twenty cents
lower this week. although the top
price of the year was paid Tuesday
for Kansas fed Herefords, $500.
Cows are holding about steady this
week. calves strong, stOckers and
feeders ten to twenty cents lower.
which puts the latter fifteen to
twenty-five cents below a week ago.
Colorado yearlings and two-year-
olds sold at 3.55. Panhandle stock
ers $500 to S3.65, New Mexico COM
mon stockers $2.25 to $3.25, range
cows S2.35 to $500. a few choice
cows and heifers S3.25. bulls $500
to 1925. light veal calves $500 to
to $500. heavy and mixed weights
$3.50 to S4.75. The liberal supply
this week has given buyers the first
good chance they have had this
month to demand concessions. Some
cattle have been forwarded to other
markets. but it has lost money by
going on. The rule at this season
is for the market to decline on me-
dium to common grades, which
comprise a good share of the re-
ceipts when the run is heavy.

For once La Junta felt its own
pulse bit. This week they boosted

mittee as sufficlng to prove our wish
sincere in regard to wanting the
proposed million dollar college. The
following list of subscribers is not
quite complete as the TRIBUNE goes
to press before full returns are tab
ulaued. Further names will be given
next week, together with subscrip-
tions falling below the SlOO mark.

c. F. Meyer. San Francisco
refugee Of German extraction, was
a guest in the bughouse department
of the City Hall for several days this
week. He was a passenger on the
California limited last Saturday, and
as soon As the train arrived got off
and started to make hot foot jour
ney toward the Golden Gate. He
made two or three former attempts
while on the way east and had been
closely watched by the trainmen.
While the train was changing
crews here he eluded the vigilance
of the trainmen and escaped. The
matter was reported to Special Off
Ger Frost. and after diligent
search the earthquake refugee was
found near the residence of Alex
Best engaged in a heated contro-
versy with telegraph pole. He
was brought back to town and plac-
ed in the city Jail. He refused to
talk, eat or sleep. and proved a hard
customer to handle for a time. but
he was finally subdued and in a day
or two was quite rational.
Meyer had first class ticket to
New York with Pullman reserva-
ton. Relatives in New York were
communicated with and instructions
received to give him every atten-
ton. A brother-in-law arrived
from New York last Tuesday, leav-
ing the same evening for that city.
Meyer was in business in San Fran
cisco at the time of the earthquake
and lost everything.
