DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, April %.
Supply of cattle last week was far
short OF the demand on this market
and local prices took a jump despite
the fact that eastern markets were
lower Beef steers are 10c to 15c
higher, good cows 10c to zoe up and
feeders and stockers firm. The east
ern demand for feeders and stockers
vas very light last week and prices
quoted 15c to 35c lower all along the
line. but on this market supply was
very light and buyers paid firm prices
for everything and would have bought
a good many more. Beef steers sold at
$3.50 to $40, good killing COWS at
33.40 to 1920, with medium kinds down
TO $500. bulls at s275 to s325, about
the same as a week ago, and veal
calves at $500 to S7.00 Good to
choice feeders and stockers are quot
able at $500 to $3.50, though there was
nothing good here last week and no
high prices realized. Indications point
prices here for all kinds of cattle for
some time. Packers are paying a pre-
MUM to get what beef stuff they need
ana both local order buyers and coun-
try feeders are wanting good steers to
send to the country.
Hog values are little higher than
a week ago, tops now being quoted at
$3.50. The demand is very good on
this market.
Sheep receipts during the past week
were fair but demand was good and
the market firm. Prices closed CON
siderably higher and fully in line with
eastern markets. New record prices
we're made on nearly everything. Best
wooled ewes sold at S615 fiat best
shorn ewes at $3.50 and best fat lambs
at $50, though quality of the latter
was Just fairly good and choice lambs
would have brought little more. The
demand is strong and liberal shipments
wanted.

THE LOST IS FOUND.
Bag Of Diamonds Stolen From Wom-
ans Leg MysteriousIy Returns.

Longmont, Colo.-Instead Of receiv-
ing an Internal machine, which she at
first suspected the package contained,
Mrs. 7. NJ. Callahan, wife of million
aire store owner in Colorado and the
Northwest, has been made happy by
recovering the $500 worth of dia-
mond earrings and rings which were
mysteriously stolen from her last
week. The Jewels came in a special
delivery package through the mails,
but who mailed them and from what
place has not yet been developed, as
the postmarks are not discernible, hay-
ing been Intentionally blurred. On the
reverse side of the package. where the
receiving stamp is usually placed, was
the mark, "Omaha-Ogden Railway
Postofice"
Mrs. Callahan is taking no changes
on the garter system of preventing the
theft of her jewels. and has placed all
of them in a safety deposit vault at one
of the local banks.
The diamonds came in on the train
which arrived at Longmont at 1924,
and were delivered to Mrs. Callahan at
o'clock. Mrs. Callahan was at first
afraid to open the package, fearing
that some persons whose names had
either rightly or wrongly been con-
nected with the theft of the jowels,
had sent her an internal machine in or
der to be Ievenged.
Curiosity finally got the better of
her, however, and the hope that the
package might contain her missing
rings and earrings caused her to unite
the string and unwrap the paper and
cloth coverings. She was overjoyed
to find her diamonds, all of which had
been removed from their settings be-
fore being put in the mail.
Mrs. Callahan Immediately notified
the authorities that she had recovered
her jewels and explained the circum-
stances under which they came.

a hug that would do credit to a polar

Then he called for help, and Mrs. Tay-

Shortly after the clerks office

Horace G. Clark was expecting box
Of fruit from some friends at Greeley
and he supposed that the package con-
tanned fruit. He asked Cornelius Wes-
trvelt, one of the deputies, TO open the
box and distribute the fruit among the
attaches of the court.
Westervelt opened the box, but to
his amazement, instead of luscious
fruit the bones disclosed to his horri-
fed gaze. The cover was quickly re-
placed and the box placed carefully
away in the bailiff's room.
Later R. d. Rees. attorney for Van
Wyk in an appeal filed the transcript

Sterling. where it was taken for second

Close elections ore not uncommon
in any representative government. but
it is not often that one constituency
is so closely divided for so long a
time as the parliamentary division of
North Tyrone, in Ireland. In the last
five elections. beginning with that in
1892. the total number of votes cast
has varied less than 400. The largest
majority at any election was 81, says
Youths Companion. Once it was 30
and once 40. Nine was the majority
of the Liberal candidate in 1906, and
seven of his successor at the by
election in March of this year.
