car he came upon balloon tied to a
post. Thinking to have some excite

into the car, but one Of his attendants,

to do a foolhardy thing, thrust his

picked while yet green of course and
the kernels had shrivelled. But the
ears we're large, well shaped and

had been allowed to cure out on the

Drs. Patton and McMeans, who

NO AGED STEERS
ON THE RANGE
(From Fridays Daily.)

Nrlom rTludy Dally.)
The Fort Worth Telegram this
week contains this review of range
conditions.
There are few aged steers in the
country, as compared with former
years, according to the reports that
come from practically every section
OF the range country. H. G. Sadler,
association inspector with headquar-
ters at Amarillo says:
Trading is still active all over
the country, and there is an unheard
of shortage in aged steers. Many
buyers are forced to go elsewhere to
secure stuff for feed and pasture. "
This report from Mr. Sadler was
embodied in a recent letter to Gen
eral Manager Crowley OF the Cattle
Raisers' Association OF Texas, and
caused that gentleman to remark:
THE fact that there is a great
shortage OF aged steers in the Pan
handle and other sections also shows
that the cattlemen OF these sections
have been unable to obtain young
steers.
The shortage is just now begin
ming to show up and Is due mainly to
the fact that large areas OF former
ranch lands have been yielded up to
the man with the plough during the
past two years. During this two
years period there has been enormous
runs of mother cows and calves on
the markets, and the large number
OF calves marketed has created big
shortage in aged steers for the pres
emit. This shortage is now showing
up pretty generally and in my judg-
ment 1t means better prices that have
predominated recently are attainable

In the death OF Lillian Raye, Vir-

the body OF Walter Ward lying In a

flames and died within a few feet OF

the blood spots on the walls and
floor were caused by desperate
struggle between Walter Ward and

theory advanced by Rose Jones who
lives on East Grand avenue.

County Attorney Hays, the police
and county officers believe that the
fire at 3t2 East Grand avenue last
night was OF lncendiary origin, and
In consequence the county attorney
has made an investigation of the
burned building and the incidents

had left the building in an automo-
bile at the earnest solicitation of one
of the inmates Of the house, who
accompanied her, about twenty-five
before the fire was observed.
