The prospectors were shot down In

Richard Queen, who in company
with Thomas Craig, attempted to rob
the ranch, home of Jose Baca Y Cas-.
tillo, the latter being killed by "A SON
in-law OF the rancher, pleaded guilty
to assault with intent to rob. The
story of the robbery and its tragic
finale, are we'll remembered. Queen
and Craig rode to the ranch home,
sixty miles southwest of Socorro and
asked for food which was given them.
They remained at the house for some
time talking and aroused the suspi-
cion of the son-in-law, who went
quietly to his home nearby and Sc
cured a pistol. He returned to find
Craig beating his father-in-law over
the head with a six-shooter and de-
manding to be told the hiding place
OF money believed to be at the ranch.
He shot and killed Craig. Queen then
ran and was fired at several times.
One bullet wounded him slightly but
he escaped for the time being but was
later arrested. Queen made a full
confession of the plot to rob the
aged ranchman, saying that he was
led into the affair by Craig.
The grand jury is also in session
here and has returned thirteen indict-
ments for a variety of offenses to
date. 1t will probably have enough
business to keep 1t busy for another
week:

CHICAGO TRADERS
GROW DESPERATE
Minneapolis Rapidly Increasing
Grain Business Causes Panic
in Windy City.
MEETING rs CALLED ~:..
TO DISCUSS SITUATION.
Decline in Receipts and Doubling
of Commissions Force Trade
" to Other Markets.

.Stung to the quick by report of
their secretary showing a great shift
ing of business from Chicago to Min
neapolis, with the situation growing
worse from one day to another and
threatening the life of the Chicago
wheat market, the members of the Chi
cagO Board of Trade will meet tomor-
row and discuss ways and means to
pull their association out of the hole.
Walter Fitch, president of the Chicago
board, saws the commission rule will
be discussed. The old fight over the
rates Of commission will be on again.
Admits Bad Business.
Chicago frankly admits that long
continued business depression, caused
by falling off in trade, has hurt the
organization and has given rise to the
whispers from time to time of fnan-
cial losses suffered by some of the firms
on the board. 1t is pointed out that
so much business for the northwest
this season as in former years, when
commission charges We're more reason
able and the large interests in this
section "hedged' their country pur-
chases in that market instead Of in
Minneapolis, as they are doing to a
large extent now. ""
Peter. B. Smith, president Of the Min
neapOlis Chamber of Commerce, said
that there has been large increase in
business here. "With natural condi-
tions working somewhat against Chi
cago, the volume Of business there
lighter and the earnings Of Chicago
grain commission firms necessarily af-
fected, an advance in commission rates
was made from 1sc bushel to Nc on
the apparently simple theory that
higher compensation for service would
offset lighter volume of business,
leaving net results the same This
never looked to US like sound economic
reasoning, but, of course, the Chicago
board knows it's business and it is no
concern of ours. .-.
Theory Did Not~Work. s.y !.
CIT would appear, however, that this
simple expedient of charging a Gus
toner twice as much because you find
yourself doing only half as much bust
ness as formerly has not worked out
WE'LL
Another subject which is up for dis
cussion among the Chicago members is
a contest with bucketshops which have
long harasscd the board. These buck:
bishops have become more numerous
than ever lately, and have scattered
thruout the western states taking much
trade away from Chicago. In Mime
apolis territory the bucketshops have
decreased in number. 81.
