Tho inquest into tho death OF A. n.

Southworth this afternoon
The inquest developed the fact that the
deceased had been put into trunk alive
and that death was due partly TO poison
administered and partly 10 asphyxiation.

DR. j. P Hull one OF the autopsy sur
geons, stated that the presence OF a large

There was no blood found In the room.
The condition OF the lungs and other
organs gave evidence OF asphyXiation, and
the report of the chemist showed the

the following verdict:
Mrs. LIE Doux Responsible.
I'VE believe that the deceased came to
his death from the combined effects of
having been drugged with morphine and
ctloral and in a dazed condition having
been forced into a closed trunk. where
there was not sufficient oxygen to sus-
tain what lfe there WAS present We
also believe that one Mrs. Emma lie

STEERS NEEDED
FOR PASTURACE
GOOD OUTLOOK FOR CATTLE OF
LIGHT AND MEDIUM WEIGHT
AGAINST SPRING TIME.
Run of Hay-Fed Stock Fair During the
Past Week and Some Steers Sell
as High as $5.8o-common and
Medium Glasses suffer Defines and
Butcher stock in Request.

South Omaha, Neb., March 14.-Clay,
Robinson C Co. of this city advise as
follows as to the condition of the cat
tie market at this place:
The u of hay-fed cattle has been
fair here the past week. There still
continues a good inquiry for the heavy
fieshy steers suitable either for beef
or feeding purposes. The better kinds
of heavy weights are selling at $3.50
and $4.75; fair to good kinds, 81 and
$3.50. Good kinds Of heavy beef steers
have sold up as high as $3.50 for some
choice Montanas, averaging a little
better han 1900 pounds.
inquiry Somewhat Weak.
Good kinds of light and medium
weight have held up pretty well, al
though the inquiry is considerably
weaker than it was a couple of weeks
ago. Common and medium classes
have suffered declines of around IS
and 40 cents since two weeks ago.
Good to choice light and medium steers
are selling at 81 and $4.25; fair to
good, $8.65 and 81. Butcher stock has
been in very good request, n good
COWS and heifers are selling at 1925
land $3.65.
Steers Needed for Grazing.
Indications favor a good demand for
some time to come-kinds that are
'suitabIe to go direct TO feed lots. and
We believe these will sell at pretty
strong prices. We expect to see a bet
ter inquiry for the light and medium
weight steers as it comes nearer grass
time. This is rather an in-between
season for this class.

Rockefeller in Close Touch.

Other witnesses were G. w. Mayer,
local manager of the Standard; ]. A.
Moffett, manager of the Sugar Creek
refinery here, and H. B. Scott, a former
director of the Prairie Oil company.
The points were brought out that
Rockefeller, at his Office in New York,
can get almost instant communication
with any big Standard station, all be-
ing connected by private telegraph;
that the profit in refining oil is fab
ulous; that John d. Archbold, the
Standard magnate, is the executive
head of the Prairie Oil company, op-
Grating in the mid-continent field;
that the Santa Fe favors high rates
on crude oil because of alleged connec-
ton with coal-producing companies;
that the Standard supplies regular
blanks to employees to report on COM
petitors' business; that the Buckeye
pipe line is a trust concern; that the
railroads, fearing public sentiment, did
not dare to contest the Kansas maxi
mum rate law, but since have hooked
up courage and intend to assail it,
and that the commission will not
stand any foolishness from unwilling
witnesses.

Kansas City, Kas, March I4.-"The
railroads do not fight the Kansas max
imum freight rate law in Difference to
public sentiment" J.. r. Koontz,
freight manager of the Santa Fe, told
the commerce commission today. The
rates are arbitrary, unjust and unfair,
but we deem it advisable to put up
with them"
NJ. A. Low, a railroad lawyer, started
this line of questions to show that Web
ster, the Independent reiner who ties
titled Monday, had o been forced out
of business by unjust rates.
Commissioner Is Informed.
Commissioner Prouty said: mo use
going into that; we have been holding
hearings all over the country. We u.s.
ually find some sort of change in rates
that do not help the independent just
before he is forced out of business"
Prouty later asked the witness why the
road did not make rates on crude oil
which would permit its use in compe-
tition with coal. In Nebraska it would
reduce the cost of coal to the consumer
from IS to Sc a ton.
Proper Rates Are Needed.

Sprins-First Work to Be Done
Near City and Witnessed by Many

Mr.. and Mrs. d. N. Stickney of this
city have closed a contract with
Reeves e Co. of Columbus, Ind, for a
32-horse power compound engine and
with Parlin & Orendorff of Denver for
two gang plows of five bottoms each,
which they will use on their ranches
in this county for breaking sod, disc
narrowing, smooth narrowing and
drilling field peas and oats at one
operation. They will pillow between
500 and 600 acres to be sown to these
two crops. Work will begin as early
in the spring as the ground is fit and
will be rushed as rapidly as the work
can be done.
To Be Started Near City.
The engine will draw the two gangs,
the disc harrow, the smoothing har-
row and the drill, and will cover be-
tween thirty n forty acres a day,
being operated by some five men.
Among the fields to be plowed and
sown will be 1875 acres within a mile

Kubanka %(macaroni) wheat thirty
eight bushels to the acre, of 63 pounds

may try some of this wheat himself
1t will grow without irrigation; II
fact, irrigation will destroy the quality
of the wheat, making it starchy ant
not so fit for food.

that this Kubanka wheat would pro
