having been received on that day,
against IA, 900 previous Tuesday. The
heavy run at Chicago Monday depress-
ed prices on heavy plain steers here
about 10 cents, and Tuesdays heavy
run caused another decline on this

The run of sheep and lambs have
been very light for the past two
weeks Fed stuff has all been market
ed with the exception of scattering

will continue light, coming mainly
from Texas and the southwest. The
run from that territory will be light
this year, and strong markets will
rule until the movement of feed stuff

Oakley Graphic: The hearing of
Frank Ziegler on charge of insanity
was held before Judge Wilkinson, the
probate judge of Logan county, on
Saturday afternoon, May 5. DIR. Mil
Ter of Oakley and DIR. Smith of Rus
sell Springs, acted as judges and
found Ziegler insane. The Logan
sheriff took the crazy man to the asy-
lum at Topeka last Thursday. This
is the outcome of the shooting by
Ziegler of the man Bailey up at Oak
ley recently. The shooting was a
wild and delirious act, uncalled for
and many of the Logan county people
thought ZiegIer ought to have been
criminally prosecuted for his assault
on Bailey, but his many friends held
to the belief that he was mentally
unbalanced and not responsible for
the act, with the above mentioned
result

whom the post at this place is named.
Pofessor J. III. Neisley made the ad-

of patriotism and was enjoyed by all.
Taking the day as whole 1t was
very enjoyable, for the people seemed
to meet on one common ground of
good comradeship. The services held
