OUR SPECIAL MARKET LETTER

Notes on this weeks Kansas City stock
market written for the REFLECTOR byJ r
Van Worst Of the M. x. & T. Commits
sion Coz
KANSAS CRY, Nov. 1.-THE supply
Of hogs and cattle en- the market the
past two days has been considerably
heavier than we expected but taFing
everything into consideration the
market has not suffered as much Of
decline as one would expect. There
has been a fairly good time for all
kinds and this one fact is certain
evidence to us that the packers are
wanting both hogs and cattle and II
the receipts continue as heavy as they
are now 1t is certain that the bulk Of
them will be run In a short time and
with the increasing demand for their
products we are firm believers that
both hogs and cattle will sell conSid-
cradle higher the next season to come
than they have the Sc season just
past.
The decline in the hog market this
week SO far is about 200 per hundred
but it is our opinion that the decline
is only temporary.

PLAN TO TAKE uTES TO UTAH.
Special Agents Are Busy Arranging
for Red Mems Return.

Special agents of the government
are at Rapid City industriously at
tending to the numerous small details
of the trip TO be made this month by
the Ute Indians when they are taken
back to their homes in Utah.
Some few of the Indians are camped
at Rapid City, but the large body will
have to be transported from Cherry
Creek. where they are living on the
Cheyenne reservation. 1t will require
n and possibly two troops of caval-
ry to guard them. Six heavy wagons
have been fitted up and taken TO Cher
ny Greek for the use of the Indians.
Although nothing definite has been
given out, it is believed that Capt.
Johnson and his troopers of the Sixth
cavalry will be the escort of the In
dams on the Journey home. Capt.
Johnson always has been popular with
these redskins and he knows how to
manage them. II was he who cor
rallied them on their e~scapades
through Northern South Dakota two
years & when they created a scare
by their actions.

SINK HOLE MAKES HEROES.
Two Boys and a Young Man Rescue
Children From Drowning.

Children From Drowning.
In the last three days three young
boys have risked their lives in saving
other lads from drowning in a muddy
sink hole caused by the late heavy
rains TO form near the North Western
depot at Hot Springs.
Roy Juckett was called upon first
to rescue little ~four-year-old Harold
Hummel, who had tumbled in while
playing near the hole Roy is about
fourteen years old. and quite tall. He
responded when the call for help
came to him from little Harold's play
mate, and though he sank into mud
and water up to his shoulders he res
cued the child and got out safely.
The next day a fo~ur-year-old boy
named Martin tried TO throw a tin can
into the hole, and fell in. His twelve
year-old brother came to his rescue
after the little fellow had sunk twice.
His rescuer was only able to keep his
brothers head out of water and call
for help, as the hole vas SO deep he
could not climb ont.
A. d. Sykes, aged twenty-eight
years, happened to be passing, and
after desperate efforts he rescued
both of the little fellows, who were al
most exhausted. The children were
delirious all night, but apparently
have recovered from all i'll effects Of
their muddy bath.
