HOGS BRINGING
FANCY PRICES
QUOTATIONS HIGHER THAN FOR
MANY YEARS-ToPPY ONES
WORTH $500 PER 100.

NEW YORK, June 16.-The highest
June price for live hogs since 1882
was established Monday at the Union
stock yards, when best porKers sold
at the long predicted figure of So per
hundred pounds. With the excep-
ton of 1902 this is the highest price
recorded for any month since the
Cudahy corner in pork in 1893, when
live hogs sold at $S.75 per hundred
weight.
The prevailing high prices are due
to unusually light receipts Of live hogs
this spring at all Western packing
centers, the extremely high price of
grain last year prompting many farm
ers to dispose Of their stock rother
than to pay exorbitant prices for feed
stuff
Receipts of hogs at the nine lead
ing markets of the West were $4,000
head less than for the corresponding
lay last week and $4,000 less than for
he same day a year ago.
As result Of the scarcity OF hogs
he price Of provisions is now the
highest in many years.

ATTEMPT TO ANNlHILATE FAM
lily. OF MAGiSTRATE-No
ONE KILLED..

! BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 16.-Ar
attempt was made Saturday night to
annihilate the entire family of Dave
| Stages, justice of the peace at Bessie
Mines, in the extreme western part OF
! Jefferson county, when his home was
almost completely demolished by dy-
Mantle. The explosion was heard for
mile at least and many people
rushed to the scene expecting to take
the members of the family out of the
wreckage dead. The elder Stages
was found with bruises about the head
and body, Mrs. Stages had to be
dragged from under pile of timber
and the son, Lonnie Stages was
picked up with numerous splinters
driven in his limbs and body and his
condition is very serious.
Deputy Sheriff Kennebrook at Ban
ner Mines, with dogs from the peni-
Tertiary, reached the scene about
o'clock Sunday morning, but so many
people had collected around the place
that it was impossible to start a clue.
Five hundred dollars in money in the
house at the time of the explosion is
but it is not believed that it
was stolen. The money may have
been blown up and lost in the wreck
age.
Some local feeling was maintained |
against Justice Stages on account of |
ssuing warrants and counter war
ants and this is believed to be at
he bottom of the trouble. Willis
Stages. another son of the justice, is
at Bessie Mines, but he was
lot at home when the explosion took
lace.
