CONVICT CAPTURED
Man Who Escaped from State
Prison is Nabbed in
New Orleans.

c. L. Lambert, alias w. NJ. Michall
and Davis w. McKeel. was arrested
at New Orleans Sunday, on the
charge of having committed forgery
at Nashville, Tenn. Lambert was
serving time in the West Virginia
penitentiary, when he made his es-
cape last February. Acting Warden
Dawson received telegram Monday
morning from the police inspector OF
New Orleans, notifying him of Lam
bert's arrest. The fugitive was
known at the penitentiary by the
name Of McKeel. Warden Dawson
will delay taking action in the matter
for few days, in the hope that the
Nashville authorities will send for the
man. This state has first claim on
the man and 1t will be less expense
to the state to send "a guard TO
Nashville for him than to New Or
leans.

Western Prices Soaring High
er and Higher Force Prices
Up in This City.
BIG SCARCITY OF SUPPLY
Is the Cause and It's Hoped
Grass Cattle on Market May
Restore Normal Prices.

An advance in the price of meats
in the local markets took place to-
day and will continue until the pres
ent beef situation resolves itself into
q plentiful supply.
The last three weeks prices OF
meats have: been soaring higher and
higher in the western markets aud
especially the Chicago and Cincinnati
markets. But the local butchers all
waited hoping that a. reaction would
come and that they would not have
to raise prices. But they waited in
vain, and are now forced to the act
ion of increasing prices in order to
protect themselves and their business
against financial loss.
This year there has been a big
shortage of beef cattle. Not much
feeding was done, corn being high,
owing to there being only half crop
in the west. As a result fat cattle
are higher now than they. have been
since the Civil war. The packers as
well as the local butchers believe that
when the grass cattle come into the
market within a,.few weeks, normal
prices will be restored for meats, and
us soon as that takes place the local
butchers will all come into line by re-
ducing the prices to the standard
that prevailed until the action taken
today.
Local butchers tate that they were
helpless to maintain the old prices
and stay in business, and. therefore,
owing to the conditions, had to make
the advance.
