In 1905 the prices were respec- lively s1.45, $l.60, $1.70, S1.70, s1.6o, s1.45. In 1906 they were S1.55. $l.70, sl.sO. s1.so. s1.65, sl.5O.

 Suspicious Characters Arrested
 During Saturday and Sunday nights theives stole from milk bottles on various porches, money varying in amount from six to fifty cents. The thefts are charged to two strangers, one white and one col of these mornings by early risers. Mon day evening they were arrested, on the premises of Mrs. H. E. Pease, as sus picious characters by constable Rhoades and placed in the steel cage. The white man had practically nothing in his pock cts but the nsgro's pockets contained keys of various kinds, spikes and small but heavy piece of iron. When Mr. Rhoades entered the lookup with the prisoners he placed his cane in a corner, near the cage. The cane was forgotten when he left the building and was with in reach of the prisoners. By its use the piece of iron above referred to, was reached and drawn into the cage, the Iron having been thrown on the floor after having been takon from the DOC kets of the negro. With this iron they endeavored to break the lock: :on the cage door. They were not successful, how ever, but the lock was so badly battered that it was impossible to unlock it, con- sequently John Nieoll was called upon to saw it apart before the men could be released.
