Special to Daily Panhandle,
Kansas City Stockyards, Dec. 10.
Cattle run was 400 today In
Guiding 700 calves, market a shade
better especially On COWS and stock
ers and feeders, Cows have been
short this week as compared with
the rather liberal supply of beef
steers, aud the tendency on them Is
toward firmness. New Mexico cows
sold at $3.50 to $3.25. some cam
ners at $2.25 bulls 81 to $ $50,
heavy calves $3.O5 veals So, some
1S1-lb calves at $3.50, several big
strings Of New Mexico stochers at
1885 to 81, a drove Of stoekcrs from
Hereford, Texas, at $4.10t about as
high as anything from that vicinity
this year, Panhandle COWS $2A0 to
$2.S0, stock cows $2.g5 to $3.50,
bulls $3.50 calves $3.50 and some
thin srockers at SO. The assort-
ment was largest today Of any day
this week from the Panhandle coun-
try although the supply from there
did not total very heavy. The prin-
cipal consignment Of range cattle
today was around 500 head Of New
Mexico stockers S40-lb at $3.S5.

WORK is PROGRESSING
Caissous for New Canadian Bridge
Piers Ready for Concrete

Caissous for New Canadian Bridge
Piers Ready for Concrete
In spite Of the difficulties i'm
posed by bad weather slow shipmet
Of material, and distance from the
railroad, the builders Of the new
Canadian river bridge are making
satisfactory progress. The workmen
now have the steel caissons on the
south side down to bed rock and
are ready for the concrete All the
piers will be put in place before
the structural steel work begins,
Judge Merrill, who was out to in
spect the work last week, Is more
than ever convinced of the success
of tho undertaking and the perma-
nency of the structure after compile
ton. The steel caissons for the
piers are sunk through sand to bed
rock. Then the rock is blasted out
TO n depth OF several feet aud the
caisson is lowered into that. AS an
additional anchor five steel Trails
arc sunk into the rock below the
bed of the calsson. Then tho on
fire caisson is filled with rich con
crete. thus making solid stone pier
anchored by the railroad irons deep
into the bed rock
Beyond any doubt the solid bed
rock undorlies the river all the way
across at the point chosen for the
bridge. On the north side, the rock
forms the bed Of the river but on
the south side It is covered by thirty
feet or 50 of the treacherous sand
that makes the river famous,
Before making any definite plan
for the bridge, Judge Merrill, In
company with the civil engineer,
sounded the river clear across and
found that there was stable foun-
datlon for the bridge. The piers
will llft the yupcrstructuro far above
all possible high water marks aud
with twenty cars Of structural steel
resting ON the steel and stone piers,
nothing short Of an earthquake can
disturb tho bridge.
Up TO this time there has been
great difficulty in securing ship
monts of steel for the bridge but it
| ia thought that the work can 50 on
now without interruption. Much OF
tho material is now in Amarillo
Yards and the construction will be
pushed.

A BARTENDER CHARGED
 WITH EMBfZZLEMtNT
A Warrant for the Arrest of Manuel Jerez, Charged with An Unfaithful Custodianship.

A warrant was issued yesterday for the arrest of Manuel Jerez a bartender at the Senate, saloon on a charge of embezzlement. The warrant was issued on the complaint os Jose Diaz, who says that he left S15 with Jerez on Sat urday night. When he called for his money Jerez told him that he had all ready received it while he was drunk. Ordinarily. in cases of this kind. the authorities do not offer relief to com plainants. but this is a slightly differ ent case. In the first place. DiaZ has a good reputation and the Senate sa- loon has not and then DiaZ has wit nesses who were with him when he left the saloon after depOsiting the money and saw him when he next ap- peared there to ask for it and had been with him during the meantime.
 Not long ago an old Mexican made a similar complaint against simon Ackel. the proprietor of the place. He said that he had left $7O there. and had nev- CT seen it afterward Ackel swore he had paid it to him and brought in a lot of Mexicans. who swore that they had seen the money pald.
 Several persons were with Diaz when he left the money on Saturday night. They were not drunk at the time. but they called for drinks when Jerez beg ged the privilege of mixing them d kind of drink like the gods drink. They had hardly swallowed it until they be- gan to feel like gods. One of the party who was suspicious of the bartender's special brew. took a cigar. but all the rest got crazy. Diaz himself when he felt his senses leaving him, in the presence Of his one sober friend. asked the bartender if he had not left $l5 with him. The bartender replied that he had. and soon after that the depos- itor was led away to bed. When he got up he went directly 10 the saloon and asked for his money.

THE LATEST VERSION
 OF A FOOTBALL GAME
Proof of Victory Over The Central School Second Team by The Osborn Eleven Hereby Addueed.

It is not the purpose of The Republi- can to print the story of the football game last Saturday between the osborn school team and the second Central eleven in serial form, or to make of it a feature to be used to fill in interims in the series of Lessons to the Primary Class in Journalism. The only object of this further allusion to the game, is to see if the thing can't be got straight. The football editor is also thinking of requiring affidavits with all future re- ports Of contests of this kind.
 On Saturday night an account of the game was brought In by a delegation of the Central team, fin which it was shown that the Osborns had been de- feated by a liberal margin and the hint was thrown out that but for the super for weight of the osborn team and the relenting disposition Of the Central eleven, the score would have looked much worse.
 The next day another report was re- ceived. also from a Central school team authority. in which the victory was claimed by a reduced majority and a tribute was paid to the prowess of the Osborn boys who 1t was stated by their generous victors had been defeated for the first time this season and then they would not have got beaten if they had played with almost any other eleven in the valley.
 Now comes the Osborn team. desirous 10 be heard before the story of the game goes down to posterity. convey ing a wholly wrong impression. This last account of the tragedy bears the stamp of authority, in that it is sup ported by the principal of the Osborn school. and C. E. Wood in charge of the publicity department of the Osborn district. It is stated that the score at the end of the game was: Osborn, 10; Central ,. It is further conceded that the Central school representation was correct as to that part of 1t which stat ed that the Osborns had not been de- feated this season. but that it wander ed into the realm of error when it add ed until they met the Central schools second team
 As matter which Is not wholly ir- relevant the latest report sets forth that the Osborn team discovered when it got on the ground that the Central schools second eleven was made up in part of the first Central team, but thinking that the victory would be all the greater the osborn players offered no objection to this strengthening of the Central second team far beyond it's normal capacity.
