Stock Market.

Stock Yards, Kansas City Mo, June 8th, 1906 Cattle receipts have been evenly distributed III through this week, as shippers had been advised against shipping, in view of the packing house agitation now going on, and the run of 5z,- GOO arrived in timid, hesitatlng manner. Packers were bearish Monday, and some concession were required before trades were made, but small gains have been made each day since, including a sharp advance of 10 cents today, owing to extreme scarcity of desirable beef steers. Packers have gained courage all week, and the recent controversy is not hurting the fresh meat tradeSas much as lear ed, but it's bad influence on foreign trade, particularly in canned meats. will likely be felt severely. AL though the receipts this week are 2000 head more than last week, the market has more than regained the loss of last week, and condi- tioDs at the close of the week are decidedly better than at the close of last week Nothing from the West, except fed stuff from North ern Colorado, has arrived this week, few Southwestern stockers sold at S3,75 to S4l5, grass steers from Texas are bringing $300 to S39O this week, grass cows $2 25 to $500, grass bulls S2.35 to S2 90, veal calves $500 to Sb25. The veal market is likely to decline sharply within few weeks. Country de- mand for stockers and feeders was strong first of the week, and prices shade higher, at S350 10 $4.6O, mostly, but the week is closing dull on this class.
 Muttons and goats from Texas and New Mexico make mp the bulk of the arrivals in tile sheep barns. although supply of Natives of all descriptions ls increasing. Coun- try demand for goats is strong, Ut S325 to $3.60, killing goats d quarter above this, Texas muttons $5.35 to S565, Texas lambs S6.25, containing a good percentage oi yearlings, clipped fed western lambs at S6.25 to $6.60 Receipts this week are moderate at 24, 900 head market a sha0e higher than week ago, trade active each day.

The Deadly candIestiek.

Last week there were brought 10 the jail sentenced to twentv five days each by Justice Henderson of Patagonia precinct two Mexicans named Pastor padiIla and Fortu- nato Soleeranos. They were arrested at Salero for fighting and taken to Patagonia and tried. So- leeranos had been stabbed in the face with a miners candlestick. The instrument had been given a downward thrust penetrating the cheek just below the eye and pas sing down through the roof of the mouth to the tongue. The man ran some distance with the weapon sticking into his face and scream ing lustly. It took all of the strength of very strong man, we'll braced, to withdraw the instru- ment. At the trial the injured man refused to testify against the other, and it was impossible to make felony charge hold against him. So they were both sentenced for being drunk and disorderly.

The oasis., 1906-06-16

and n woman arrested by Constable Mapes Sunday night for diaorderly conduct. The woman's name was Petra Castro and tho men were saturnino Flores, Inez Cardenas, Aleiandro peralta. At the time of the arrest they were engaged in drunken quarrel at the woman's house on the hill east of Nelson Avenue. The timely arrival of the officer probably saved a serious tragedy, as the woman was armed with short and very ugly looking butcher knife, one of the men had long miners candlestick Ga very dangerous weapon) and another one of the men had q pocket knife, which he was brandishlng and threatening to use. The officer quelled the disturbance and lodged the entire party in jail. Taken before the justice they plead guilty to charges of drunk and disorderly conduct. and the woman was given sentence of five days, while the men were sentenced to ten days each in the county jail, in lieu of fines of $5 and S10
