GIANT HERON GIVES
BATTLE TO THREE MEN

BURLINGTON, Aug. 2o.-In a ter

three men came off victorious,
but not until the big bird had
with its powerful wings and vicious
beak thrice driven off the trio. But

seeking a dinner in the ponds of the

far more serious than torn clothes and
scratches would have been meted out to
its captors. it was said today.
The men were Charles Parker, Bryan
O'Donnell and James O'Donnell. They
thought to capture the giant blue
heron alive, but the heron put up
a spectacular battle until Parker. arm
ing himself with a ten-foot pole, got
near enough to land a blow which
broke the birds neck.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The stock
market opened irregular, but with the
stocks which showed the greatest
weakness yesterday scoring good gains
today. OF these New York Central was
up IA. Reading i and Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific fractions. IN the
other hand, American Smelling, Great
Northern preferred and Rock Island
were forced down a point. Union Paci-
fc opened at 2o6%, but met some large
sales and went off to FOG. Later 1t got
back to its opening figure.
II o'c~lock-There was a violent break
in the stock market soon after the
opening under the influence of a bear
raid, misgivings as to the health Of
Mr.. Hartman and the manifest lack
of support to the recent speculative
favorites. Union Pacific dropped to
204. u. S. Steel to 1914 and Southern
Pacific to 1909. New York Central and
Reading, which had scored early ad-
vances of Ia each, broke from 141A
to 131%, and 1891 to 1868, respectively
Supporting orders made their appear
ance when the drain began to look very
serious, n there was a general rally
of between l and 2ia points. New
York Central recovered to 140, Read
ing got above 1873 and Union Pacific got
back to POS.
Noon-The market showed some few
erishness, Reading and Union Pacific
fuctuating in the neighborhood of q
point. Considerable stock changed
hands in the early break, the sales for
the first hour running above a half
million shares. Local stocks were
marked up vigorously, u. S. Rubber adj

At noon the market was on the down
grade again. Reading, Union Pacific
and II. S. Steel being under decided
pressure. Bonds were heavy.
l o'clock--Large amounts of stock
were offered for sale after II o'clock,
which caused a relapse to low prices
of the morning in Union Pacific and
U. S. Steel. Reading sold slightly lower,
touching 1855. The rest of the list was
where from " to 2 points above tine

Union Pacific at 204, and it rallied a

however. liquidation was renewed in
Union Pacific, and it soon declined to

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at n decline OF 7@9
points, in response to disappointing cables
and liquidation by recent buyers who
are, no doubt. disappointed by the failure
of bullish crop news TO stimulate a more
general demand. Early weather reports
indicated another day of excessive heat
in the southwest. and there was good buy
ing at the decline, but bulls were not at
all aggressive and prices ~fuctuated
around the opening figures during the
rather nervous.
The showers reported in Texas by pri-
vate wires were evidently not considered
the crop. and the market ruled steady
during the late forenoon. with prices at
midday some 6 TO s points net lower.

IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown Sentimental high official Of
n of the best known M most i'm
portant financial institutions in the
city a this morning that no one
should be alarmed over the declines in
the stock market, except those who
may have been carrying stocks on small
margins. He would not be surprised to
see the most active stocks go some
what lower on further short selling and
upon liquidation by frightened holders.
He believed, however. as do many care
full observers, that as soon as Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Steel
common strike a level at wnich invest
ors are inclined to buy the market
would have a sharp turn.

Four stocks were primarily in evf-

The heavy volume Of trading in Union

seek to analyze conditions In the mar

at least twenty points margin on a
stock selling as high as Union Pacific,
and particularly a took so active. That
is a deterrent to the small trader.

New Railroad For Pierre

That the Minneapolis 4 st. Louis
railroad company no longer mere
ly contemplates the construction
OF road between Aberdeen and
Pierre, but in reality last Saturday
started the work. is a certainty.
For some number of weeks past
high officials of the road have
been making trips to Aberdeen and
Cresbard making the detail arran-
gements, and last Friday, when
from this city the chief engineer
of the road, together with two as
sistants hired a surrey and drove
out into the country, the work
was started in reality. There has
been much talk of this project, but
the work of yesterday was the first
step which has been taken toward
actual construction.
The starting of the work will
mean much 20 Aberdeen From
definite sources it was learned yes
terday that Aberdeen will be the
headquarters Of the construction
crews, and that all material will be
stored in this city. This will mean
additional men working in the
city, and in consequence more
business to be transacted by the
business interests.
Inquiry was made this morning
from Agent Beach of the company
and from other people who might
be in position to know the details,
but all stated that further than
that, the engineers were now work
ing on the right of way, nothing
definite was known. Mr.. Beach
stated that he would give out no
information because he knew but
little and he had nothing from
headquarters. Aberdeen News.

Egan Loses out in the Supreme
Court

The supreme court last week
handed down its decision on the
application of George w. Egan,
for reinstatement to the bar of
the state, denying the application.
Justices Haney and Corson are
taking no part in the decision.
This finally settles the Egan case
so far as the the Supreme court is
concerned. Egan can now 20 on
with his spread-eagle campaign for
governor, and if the people decide
that they want him for that office,
they can have him.
Egan has always contended that
the Supreme Court as constituted
at the time of his former trial dis
barred him for political reasons
without any consideration of the
merits of his case. He has vilified
Justices Haney and Corson in a
most indecent manner through the
colums of his American Republic.
1t will be noted that this time the
decision comes from Justices Nc
Coy, Whiting, and Smith, new
members of the court appointed by
an insurgent governor.
1t will gradually y soak into some
of the people of South Dakota, es-
pecialy those of the southeastern
corner of the state Egan's troubles
are moral and not political in their
nature.
