Pork At It's Highest Price.

Chicago, June 19.-The highest
June price for live hogs since 1882
was established this week at the Un-
ion stock yards, when best porkers
sold at the long predicted figure of ss
hundredweight. With the excep-
tion of 1902, this is the highest price
recorded for any month since the
Cudahy corner in pork in 1893, when
live hogs sold at 1915 a hundred
weight.
The prevailing high prices are due
to unusually light receipts of live hogs

With more than fifty cases on the

was forced to adjourn court on Mon
day for the simple reason that none
of the cases were ready for trial.
Thirty-six jurors were on hand ready
to perform duty, but there was moth
ing to do. We don't know where the
trouble lies, but it seems to Us that
somebody is responsible for this ex-
pense to the county. The jurors had to
be paid. the bailiffs had to be paid, the
court cryer had to be paid, and there
were other expenses attached, yet
not q single case of Importance was
disposed of. It is hoped that this will
be the last time that the county will
be called upon to pay for farce.

Rushton was convicted of forgery at

recently been made cook and left,
presumably to get a turn of wood

has since been heard from him, and
he seems to have made good his es-

NEGRO CEASED
By BlooDHoUNDs.

The fact that negro in Lexington
county yesterday afternoon was attir-
ed in pair of overalls that had been
washed until they resembed convict's
stripes, caused this negro to have an
exciting evening.
The man with the near-white over
alls was walking by the bank Of Lex
ington creek when a number of white
children playing in the water saw him.
The sight of the overalls and the negro
apparently hiding near the creek
brought ideas of escaped convicts to
their minds and they ran to their eld-
ers with the news that a prisoner lad
escaped from the chaingang and was
making his escape through the woods
via the creek.
The news was telephoned to the pen
itentiary and men with the peniten-
tiary hounds set out for the Lexington
creek. The trail of the negro was
readily picked up and the dogs took
up the chase. After run of mile
and more the negro was overtaken, at
the house of an uncle, where, badly
frightened, he had taken refuge from
the menacing bay of the blood-thirsty
hounds.
When his fright had ceased with his
security behind locked door and he
was sufficiently composed to speak, he
assured the officers with the hounds
that he was peaceable law-abiding
colored man who had done no more se-
rious wrong than wear blue overalls
washed almost white.
This explanation. properly vouched
for by others. satisfied the officers, and
the guards with the dogs returned to
the penitentiary while the frightened
negro hied himself for home to change
the overalls to garments while per-
haps not 80 beautiful to look upon,
would at least prove safer. The hounds
seemed to enjoy the run.-The State
