WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
BY CLAY, ROBINSON 4 co.
Denver. Sente,nher 10

Denver, September 10
The cattle market was bumped pretty
hard all the way down the line and even
the best grades note decline of right
around &c per cwt from the hi b time
ten days ago, while the fair to good
kinds are off Soc to COO per cwt. at
eastern markets. The decline here at
Denver, however, has not amounted to
over 3O to 4Oc per cwt. as we have had
light receipts all week. Monday the
bulk of good steers sold at from 81 90
to $425, while the close of the week
shows such stuff to be worth SO. so to
"a 0O here. Outside of one bunch of
fancy white face cowi, which we sold
Monday at So 10, the top for that day
was $S.45, which we obtained for some
western slope heifery etuff. Such cows
today would sell at around 1926 to
$3.4O. The killers, however, have
bought a good many good COWS this
week at from $3.50 to 1910. Heavy
fieshy feeders have not shown much
decline but light weight and medium
quality stuff is away lower. Some
rafting good western slope long yearl-
ings and short two year olds sold here
Friday at $50 and pre4ty good yearl-
ings could be bought for from SO. 10 to
1896
We look for lighter receipts this next
week and an improvement in prices.
Indications are for light runs until
Oct. list.
South Omaha, Sept. 10th.
The run of cattle this week has been
extremely heavy; in fact, the heaviest
weeks run in the history of the yards.
Trading was naturally slow throughout
and prices now on all killing classes
are from 35 to Soc lower than the close
one week ago. Something real choice

other kinds of feeders and stockers are

choice steers on Monday at $685., aver

PLAGUE AT CARACAS
OFFICIALLY REPORTED
Hospital for Patients VIII Be Erected
and Market Closed and Moved
to Another Portion
Of City
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Presa.
CARACAS. July Sat last Caracas
officially has the plague and the credit
for having finally brought this sad
confession from the government is due
to the initiative shown by the Ger
man minister, Baron de Seckendorff,
who presented a note to Minister of
Foreign Affairs Paul, asking for in
formation for his government as to the
presence of the bubonic plague in this
capital.
1t was a little over a week ago that
the diplomatic corps met at the baron's
house to consider joint action on the
plague situation, but no decision could
be arrived at and nothing was done.
1t is naturally believed that 1t was the
United States which should have been
here, because of the proximity of its
shores and of the Washington sanitary
convention, which bound Venezuela to
give notice of the presence OF the
plague and of the measures taken to
combat II.
Undoubtedly II was due to the
strained diplomatic relations, which
ture, that the American legation had
not done long ago what the German
minister has done now.
Today the merchants met and sub
scrIbed the amount necessary to build
plague hospital. The market is go
ing to be closed entirely and moved
to another part of the city. All the
troops and even the government en-
ployes must be vaccinated. Residences
and stores where plague cases have
occurred have been closed up tight.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Paul, in
his answer to Baron de Seckendorff,
dated June "a, says that there have
been twelve cases in Caracas but that
seven days have now past without any
new ones.

COUNT BONI STARTS
A SENSATIONAL SUIT
SEEKS POSSESSION OF HIS
THREE CHILDREN
Former Husband Of Anna Gould De-
clares Woman Is Not Now
Suitable Protector for
His Offspring
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, July 8-Count Boni de Cas-
tellane, whose former wife was mar
ried yesterday to Prince Helie de
Sagan in London. the counts cousin
has opened what promises to be sem
sational legal battle for the possession
of his three children, the offsprings of
his marriage with Miss Anna Gould.
The step taken by the count yesterday,
which generally has been misunder-
stood, is merely preliminary
skirmish.
This was not formal demand for
the custody OF the children, but an
aftermath of the removal last week by
the count of his son Jay from the resi-
dence Of his former wife at Versailles.
Maitre Bonnet, counsel for the count,
yesterday afternoon petitioned the
court to reindorse his clients right to
retain Jay temporarily on account of
the child's illness and because of the
insufficient care he was receiving at
Versailles, during the absence of his
mother.
Maitre Bonnet told the correspondent
of the Associated Press today that a
decided move would be made in a few
days when he would ask the court to
give the custody of all the children to
the count on the ground that the
Princess de Sagan was not q suitable
protector for them, inasmuch as she
is under the complete domination and
control OF Prince de Sagan, who Is
unworthy to hold the position of father
to the children.
"As proof that Madame Gould was
completely dominated by De Sagan, we
will offer her action in travelling in
Italy. the Riviera and to London in
company with Prince de Sagan before
she was married to him." Maitre Bon
net declared.
The case will proceed as soon as
the Princess de Sagan announces her
readiness to defend her interests"

Into Well Prevent Death by Heat

a little child-a boy about years old.
Such heat as we experienced during
the last few days is bad for child SO
young, and. there was only one cool
spot on the whole place. Yesterday
morning I saw the rancher's wife tie
the child in a bucket and lower 1t into
the well from which we obtained our
drinking water. I thought at first that
she intended to drown her offspring,
but when l questioned her found that
1t was her custom to leave the child In
the well during the hottest part of the
day.
''If. there is anyone in Los Angeles
who thinks this is hot he should take a
trip out to Mammoth"
Little promise is held out by the
weather bureau for cooler weather to-
day. The temperature will continue
high, though perhaps not quite so high
as yesterday. On the first five days of
July last year the mercury reached 80
degrees and on three of these days 1t
went to 100. The hottest day of last
year was July 4, when the mercury
reached 103.
In the absence of A. B. wollaber,
who will return on July 13, the bureau
is In charge OF w. d. Fuller, with
Cleve Hallenbeck as assistant.

There was one man in Los Angeles
yesterday who said he was sorry he
had left his overcoat at home. He was
M. e. Spraggins, who came In from
Mammoth, which is one of the stations
at which the government is conducting
an investigation into the causes Of
evaporation. The other stations are In
dio, Mecca, the Salton sea and Braw-
ley. Prof. F. H. Bigelow has charge Of
the work, and A. B. Wollaber, the local
weather expert, Is his assistant.
In describing the excessive heat OF
the desert country which he and VOL
laber experienced Spraggins said:
THE poverty of the English language
alone prevents me giving an adequate
description of weather conditions in
thatfcountry. When / tell you that 1t
was so hot that no one had nerve
enough to look at a thermometer, and
that the lizards were gasping for
breath, It means little to you. But this
story l will vouch for:
mot far from where we were sta
toned was a rancher from whom we
occasionally purchased provisions. We
used to get fresh eggs from him, which
we cooked by burying them in the hot
sand. The rancher and his wife have

six days since the gas explosion In the
coal mine here that resulted in over
200 miners losing their lives, and II is
believed there are still fifty men in the
mine.
A man was rescued today from the
eastern side of the shaft. After COM
ing to his senses he reported the pres
ence Of a squad of men In the eastern
section of the mine at the time of the
explosion, and said he had heard con-
tinual groans from his imprisoned COLI
leagues. This story is corroborated by
the fact that over fifty men are still
unaccounted for.
The resumption of regular work at
the mines is delayed because the men
refuse to enter the i'll fated shaft.
