He COMMITTED SUICIDE
Aged Farmer in, Bottineau County
Selected the Rope Route Into
the Unknown.

Bottineau Courant: The community
was shocked on Sunday to learn that
John B. Chreuen, an aged retired
farmer living near Tarsus. had COM
mitted suicide early Sunday morning
by hanging. The act was accomplished
by taking rope, which they had been
using to draw grain, and climbing up
on the hay fastened it to a rafter in
the top of the barn. Tying the rope
around his neck he slid of the hay
down a space about ten feet deep, the
force not being strong enough to
break his neck, and he strangled to
death.
Deceased had been living alone in
a small house close to that of his son,
Ed Chretien, and on Sunday evening
the son and his wife went to the
neighbors to visit, returning home late
in the night. They noticed on return
ing that the fire was burning in his
fathers house, and thinking every
thing was all right they went to bed
and slept until quite late Sunday
morning. When they got up Ed went
to the barn to do the chores and on
opening the door was startled to find
his father had committed this rash
act. He had apparently been dead for
some hours.
The county coroner, DR.. ]. A. John
SON and States Attorney Bowen were
notified and Immediately left to in
vestigate the matter. They found that
an inquest was unnecessary as prima
facie evidence showed the act volun-
tarily committed.
A daughter, granddaughter and
son-in-law have died within the past
two months and brooding over these
sad events is no doubt what caused
the suicide.
Deceased leaves three sons and two
daughters. All but the one son are
living in Essex, Ontario.
The funeral services were held from
the house of his son Tuesday after
noon, and interment made in the
Tarsus cemetery.

Destroy Their Homes-Four Buildings Were DESTROYED
Origin Of Fire Mystery

For eight hours the citizens of Os-

for time threatened to destroy the
entire city. When at s o'clock this

stroyed, and loss of about $4,000
was the result.

Roadway when discovered.
A bucket brigade was at once form
ed, and they worked necessarily all
night long in the cold endeavorang
to stop the fire, which was growing
worse hourly.

Two of Them Were Punched by Chief
Of Police Hurst Of Devils Lake
Used q Gun.

Two men, giving their names as
John Hogan and VIM. Bradley, entered
the home of NJ. Liberman, Ramsey
county charge at Devils Lake, and de-
manded his money at the point Of
guns. The old man, being destitute,
had no money to give them. Chief
Hurst got on their trail and arrested
them at the Great Northern depot as
they were preparing to depart for
Grand Forks. One of them resisted,
and as the chief had neither a gun
or his club he had to resort to his
fists. He landed a good jolt on the
mans neck and felled him to the
ground, and after having few kinks
taken out of him he concluded 70

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.
Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Week.

Kansas City. Nov. 25.-Liberal cattle receipts at all points last week and conservative orders of buyers, had the effect of lowering prices 70 to 35 cents the first half of the week. Smaller runs brought a recovery of 10 to 15 cents from the low time. and the yards were pretty well cleaned out by the close Saturday night Range killing steers sold better. relatively. than heavy fed steers. as the demand was more for butchers weights. The run today is 1i,000 head. The stocker and feeder trade is in bad shape. with prices lowest of the season. and 20 to 30 cents below a week ago. SpcCula- tive features are entirely eliminated from the market, and purchases are made on a bed rock business basis. Some western Colorado 960 pound kill ing steers sold late last week at$3.S0 and s3.S5, heavier steers during the week up to S4.25. Idaho beef steers S3.60. New Mexico and Panhandle beef steers S325 to 4.00. choice Colorado cows $3.25 to s3.65. other range cows $40 to s3.95. bulls $2.10 to S3.0o. top veal calves s6.25. heavy calves s5.25 to
 
 S2S5 to $3.SO All reports indicate an improvement over week ago in the financial situation. and more active buying will no doubt soon character ize the market.
 Sheep and lambs are holding up steady, in the face Of the liberal re- ceipts. Run today is l2,000 head mar kit strong and active on killing grades. country kinds quiet. Bulk of the killing lambs sell at $500 to s5.l5. a few medium lambs at s5.65 to sj.9O, feeding lambs. s5.10 to s5.55. killing wethers and yearlings s.25 to $L75. ewes siOO to Si.S0 stock sheep S325 Is s4.50. Packers are buying sheep and lambs more freely than any other class of live stock. probably because mutton works in with game and poul- try. season for which will soon open. better than the heavier cuts of beef and pork.

With money stringency such as prevails today one is naturally curious to know what the effect will be on mining properties under development by means of stock flOtations of a gen. cral nature. By that is meant not the operations of men of great wealth. but of companies whose stock has been sold in small quantities to a large number of patrons through the activi- ties of fiscal agents. In general the literature of the fiscal agent says now is the time to buy, when stock hith- erto subscribed for is but partly paid for and is again thrown on the mar

DISPUTED LINES OF
 COUNTY BOUNDARIES $
Yavapai and Mohave Counties Put the Matter Before the Interior Depart- ment.

After a correspondence covering a period of several months, between the boards of supervisors of Yavapai and Mohave counties, in reference 10 the boundary line of the two counties, the establishment of the boundary by County Surveyor Latimer of this coun- ty. who took the Gila and Salt River meridian as his base, and the running of another proposed boundary line by Civil Engineer l.. Freel for Mohave county. who took the primary station on Mount Floyd as the base of his sur vey. the location of the line has, at last. been referred 10 the interior de- partment.
 The department has been asked to determine whether the boundary line should not be established by survey, with the Gila and Salt river meridian as base. or from the preliminary sta tion on Mount Floyd. established by the Powel survey in 1872.
 Taking Mount Floyd as the base of his survey. Surveyor Freel established the boundary line of the counties 4,0S7 feet east of the line as established by Latimer. who recognized only the Gila N The supervisors of Mohave county in- sst that Mount Floyd should be con sidered as the base of the survey, while the Yavapai supervisors are of the opinion that the Gila and Salt river meridian is the legai pase for all surveys in the territory. Both boards have agreed to abide by the decision of the interior department.
 No matter which way the depart ment decides. Yavapai county has won much In the dispute. No property of any consequence is lost, even if the Freel survey is declared the legal one. When the decision of the department is rendered both counties will join iI flagging the line and establishing per manent landmarks for the boundary

With the Freel survey continued through. the northwest corner of Maricopa and the southwest corner of Yavapai will be moved almost four miles east. in dicating that Yuma county is entitled 10 fourmile strip of Maricopa coIn- ty. Yuma county's supervisors are now anxious to have a joint survey of the boundary line made. where it touches on Maricopa and this county. It is possible that a survey of the Marico- pa and Yuma county line would add about four miles of the Southern Pa cific railroad to the Yuma county tax roll.

DROWN; BRIDGE GIVES WAY.
Several Persons Believed to Have
Lost Their Lives at Lorain, O.

Lorain, O., July 23.-About 20 men
were precipitated into the river here
Monday morning and several were
drowned by an accident to a bridge.
Two bodies have been taken from the
water. Another man is known to be
in the river and several more are miss

lost.
The men were employed in the ship
yards. They used a footbridge near
the Nickel Plate railroad bridge to
cross the river to their work The
pontoon of the bridge was open this
morning to permit a vessel to pass.
The men were leaning against a rail
waiting for the bridge to be closed
when the rail broke and they went
into the river. All Of the dead and
missing are foreigners.
