Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, May 15, 1908- The supply of cattle this week was Leavy. at 39, ,l00 head, but the best orade. are about steady with we4k ago. Medium and common killing cattle, including cows and hpIfers, are l5 to 30 cents lower than a week ago. Signs of grass are become plentiful, and this is always the signal for buyers to de- mand concessions, and as it also occurs as coincident to increased supplies sellers are forced to ac cept the reduction. Stockers aud feeders generally receive a set back At this season, both because they have usually attained d range dan eerously high, and because the larger receipts removed the com pptition for the half fat kinds for merIy received from killers. The receipts this week have included fed Colorado at $5.75 to $6 70, branded westerns at $6.85, and top natives $7O0, including yearlings at the top figure. Fancy heifers and yearlings reached $6.90, and it is safe to predict that the choice kinds of cattle will remain at a high figure, while, of course, the spread in range of prices will be accentuated each week from now on, bulk of cows sell at $3.25 to $5.25, feeders $4.00 to $575, bulls $3.50 to $5.25, stockers $3.75 to $5 25. feeders $4.50 to $550, top veals $500.
 Sheep and lambs. contine to come freely, Al ,000 here this week. Quality was not as good as hereto fore this week, which was another lever in the hands of buyers to effect their purpose of reducing prices. The old complaints of poor sale for the meats, congested nut ton markets in the East, etc, are again heard this week, and prices are 25 to 35 cents lower than a week ago. Supply of wooded stock is more limited and proportion of Texas stuff is heavy. Nothing from Arizona this week. Texas muttons sold up to $5.40 first oi the week, but $4.50 to $5.20 would be safe range to expect now, goats now worth $330 to $3T5 wooded lambs $6,75 to $7.10, clip ped lambs $6l0 to $6.4O. Light receipts ot sheep and lambs in Buffalo the past two weeks and a fairly good sale for the product oI Western killers has led to predic tions of good market, and the present dullness is not believed to be permanent.

SHERIFF ACTS
 AS DEFECTIVE
Finds Negro Who en Supposed Death. Bed Had Confessed to the Murder. and Secures Testimony of Two Lit tie Girls Who Saw Crime Commit. ted.

Newport, Sept. 24-After remain ing a mystery nearly two years, the circumstances of the murder of Joseph a wealthy mill owner of Shoffner's Switch, have been revealed through shreWd and persistent detec- tive work on the part of Sheriff Sim mons. As a result, five negroes are in jail held for complicity in the crime A sixth negro is under indict- ment for perjury.
 In October, 1906, Mccartney was found dead in the road beside his bug gy, with his head crushed.
 An investigation was commenced by the authorities. Two little girls told a story of having seen, by the light of
 the lantern they carried five ne- sroes attack Mccartney. They not only spread the alarm immediately but al- so named the negroes. They said they were going home after dark, they heard rig coming behind them which they believed was McCartney's. Then they met, they said, two negroes, Asa Borders and another they knew as Henry, riding. When the negroes met Mccartney, they said they heard a sound, and on looking back, saw the two men ride near the white mans buggy and strike him. Then, they de- clared, three other negroes rushed out of the bush. The girls fled, and arriving at the home of Dave Lundy nearby, told their story.
 Despite the story of the girls, a cor oner's jury returned a verdict thai Mccartney had met death as the re- suit of kick by his horse. There the matter rested for a time.
 Vowed Vengeance When Boys.
 X year later, however, Levy Bor' der, brother of Asa, became sick anC thought he was going to die. On his supposed death bed he revealed, it is said, to another negro, Emanuel Banks that he and his brother were the muT dcrers of Mccartney. He is said te have related how, when boys, he an( his brother had been beaten by Me Cartney; how they had vowed ven geance and cherished resentmen through many years until on the nigh of the murder they had met the ob ject of their hatred and had said tt each other: Now is our chance, and how they had carried out thei VOW, made years before.
 But after relieving his mind of hi sruesome confession, Border began t' improve in health, and finally recover cd. Banks, in possession of th weighty secret. began to lord it ove
 Border, who was helplessly in hi
 power. until the latter unable to stan' it any longer quarreled with him
 Then Banks told the story to othe negroes.

one of the greatest disasters that
China has ever known, sudden tidal
waye-locally known as bore
the Yangtse Kiang. which involved the
loss of nearly 10000 lives at Hankow,
was brought by the steamer Titan,
which arrived here.
A bore. twenty-six feet in height,
flooded without warning down the
river, overturning thousands OF junk.
sampans and small boats and wreck
ing some large river steamers.
Some 5000 Chinese were sleeping In
sampans, small craft, mat sheds and
huts by the riverside, and they were
enyeloped by the great wave which
swept broken junks, splintered sam
pans and an Heterogeneous mass OF de
bris, with swarms of drowned Chinese
mixed with the wreckage.
The scenes for many days after the
disaster were horrible, the river being
strewn with dead and debris of wreck
ed craft for many miles.

did not mention the letter to her ad-
mirer, believing it a hoax, although
she did show it to the postmaster, in
the hope that he might be able to dis
cover the sender.
Except for these two letters the To-
cal police have no diea as to the per
petrators of the act. 1t was several
hours after Harry was released from
his position before he was able to talk.
and then his story was told with long
pauses.
81 got the letter last Saturday" he
told his mother Il have no idea wnO
sent it, nor why any one should want
to harm me. Thinking some one ha
chosen to play joke on me | said
nothing about it. l did not want to
worry you.
Il borrowed the revolver. and when
| went upstairs put it. with my watch
and money, under my pillow. Then |
undressed. knelt by the bed and was
saying my prayers when | heard my
closet door open and soft step on the
floor. | reached for the revolver. at
the same time turning my head. But
before | could see who was coming
was grasped by the back of the neck
and my face was pressed down in the
bed. | could not even cry out.
There were two of the men. and
both were powerful. think they were
negroes. l could not move in their
grasp. Putting something over my
eyes, they held me in spite of my
struggles. They tied me by the wrists
and ankles to the bedposts, one of
them holding me while the other ma lie
the ropes fast. Then they took my
belt. and. passing it around my neck.
brought it across my mouth. into
which they stuffed handkerchief. A
short time afterWard | became uncon-
scious."
The attack upon the boy was exc
cuted so quietly that no one in the
house was awakened. The boy had
been out during the evening and did
not return until ten O'Clock. 1t was Il
hour later that he prepared to retire.
The men left the house. locking the
boys room as they went out. An un
locked door showed how they had
made their exit. The money and watch
which Harry had placed under his pill
low were not disturbed.
The affair puzzles the police. 1t is
not thought that either of he two let
ters was written by a negro. 1t is be-
iieved by many that the negroes were
third parties, employed to carry out
the threats of the letter. The instiga-
tor of the attack is believed to have
been a person who was jealous OF the
attentions of the young man to Miss
Ellis.
