TRADE WITH CUBA GROWS
During Fiscal Year, Despite Lower
Price of Singer, Business
is Heavier.

WASHINGTON, Sept GA report Issued
by the Department Of Commerce and Labor
today says commerce of the United States
with Cuba during the fiscal year Just
ended was greater than in any earlier year
OF the trade relations between the United
States and that island. This is particu-
larly true of exports. The imports from
the island fell slightly below those of 1905,
due to the fall in the price OF sugar, but
the exports TO the island were % per cent
greater than in 1906. 70 per cent greater
than. in 1904 and was l2 per cent greater
than in 1903 Exports to Cuba aggregated
s47,7 SIS in 1906 Prior to 1905 the value
of the imports into the United States from
Cuba ranged in most years from s5OOOO,O0o
to N5,o0O.Ooo. OF the five articles forming
the bulk of our imports from Cuba, sugar
amounted in value, in 1906 to $50, 900 go;
tobacco. i1S,5Oo, 900; cigars and cigarettes,
100000; iron ore, s2,O0o.OOo. and bananas.
81, 100000. Tobacco, cigars. cigarettes and
iron ore show an increase in the fiscal
year 1906 and bananas show a reduction OF
less than 10000. while sugar shows a re-
duction OF over S4,Oco.000 in value in 1905
as compared with 1906
The increase in shipments to Cuba, while
visible in many articles. occurs chiefly In
manufactures of iron and steel. of which
the total exports TO the island were s9S7s,-
CAS- in 1905. against s6.l64,sOs in 1906.

EDNA IRVINE SHOOTS FOREMAN
Mystery SURROUNDS Anair In witch
Former Omaha Girl
Figures.

SHERIDAN. Yyo. Sept. s.-Cspeciai
Telegram3-Miss Dina Irvine, daughter OF
State Treasurer Ifvine, was bound over
to the district cohrt Wednesday after
hearing before Justice of the peace and
her trial was begun today to decide
whether she was justihed in shooting
George II. Knighton, foreman Of the
Letter Cattle companys Big Red Ranch
near Clearmont.
What Miss Irvine's motive was in shooting
the ranch foreman did not develop in the
hearing before the justice of the peace,
although many present were inclined to
think some mystery was attached to the
act, and the whole affair is puzz,ing the
community. 1t is well known here there
has been considerable friction over the
ownership of this ranch the interests of
the Letter company and those of Colonel
j. II. Pratt of Omaha conflicting con-
sidersbly. Miss Irvine says she has been
subjected to snnoyances at all times when
her father has been away from the ranch
and names Knighton as one of the chief
causes of her vexations and worries Tues
day morning when the shooting occurred
the barn doors were left open and the
horses got into the granary Knighton re-
turned to the house after finding the doors
open and made some insulting remarks to
Miss Irvine. The rosy checked girl whipped
out the revolver she usually carries when
on the range and snapped 1t in knighton's
face. The first cartridge failed to eX-
plode and a second sent bullet into the
foremans body. He was brought to this
town where physicians have been work
ing on him ever since. The shot entered
the loin and 1t is thought will not prove
fatal. although blood poisoning is feared
Miss Irvine's father has announced he
will stand by her to the end and the
daughter says she is not afraid to face
the charges preferred against her.
Miss Edna Irvine is well known In
Omaha, as she and her mother lived here
three years ago, while she attended school
at Brownell hall. They lived in the house
at 622 South Fortieth street now occupied
by II. Vance Lane. She was then about
16 years old. very pretty and vivacious. In
Wyoming she has the reputation of being
the best horsewoman In the whole west,
as no horse Is too wild or vicious for her
to handle. She is a regular cowboy when
it comes to riding broncho and is of a
high spirited disposition.
While she and her mother were In Omaha
her father was appointed state treasurer
by Governor Richards to fill a vacancy and
was afterwards elected to the position. He
is one of the best known men in the state.
The Big Red ranch was formerly owned
| by the Letters and Colonel ]. II. Pratt of
| this city, but il Is understood that Colonel
Pratt no longer has any interest in the
ranch.
