SLYC0URT is s.. q
CAPTURED

Darlington. N. D., Dec. News of
the arrest of Joe Slycourt at Grin
nell, Ia, his former home, which
means that he will be brought back
here to answer for the murder of
Frank Batesole, Nov. IL, was receiv-
ed here by telegram last evening.
It will be remembered that Bate
sole, highly respected farmer, and
Slycourt, were engaged in helping a
farmer in moving building. A dis
pute ensued. in which Slycourt struck
Batesole over the head with crow
bar, dealing fatal blow. For time
the victim fingered between life and
death, during which Slycourt fed.
Every effort to locate Slycourt proved
fruitless. The most prominent peo-
pie of Darlington interested them
selves in the case and at last Sly
court was located at his old home at
Grinnell. He was arrested late yes
terday.
States Attorney G. F. Craverx has
already worked up strong case
against the man and it is believed
here that he will doubtless enter a
plea of guilty on his arrival here.
The matter of his extraditlon has
been taken up by North Dakota off,
cials, should he refuse to return vol
unfairly.

SHORT SESSION.
FOR congress
(Dy Associated Press.)

Washington D. c., Dec. 7.-Having
assembled and received: the tTesi-
dents message, congress today found
itself literally "Out of work" And
in consequence both houses adjourn ed
until Friday, when, if some of the
various committees fail to provide
something to do, an adjournment will
be taken until Monday.
The formality of reading the mes
sage aloud consumed an hour and
a half in each house. When the con-
clusion was reached the house i'm
mediately adjourned but the senate
went into executive session. Little
fault was found with the message
among republicans, who seemed to
agree that it was as satisfactory a
document as the president could pre-
pair and remain consistent with the
parties campaign pledges.
The democrats approved the pres
ident's efforts to economize, but de
Dreciated his suggestion that the
Monroe do,trine has become prac-
tically obsolete.
The message is written in the pres
ident's customary terse, vigorous
stNle, commented Representative
Payne, majority leader of the house,
while Repres Clark. minority
leader, Thought that about all that
could be said about the message was
that it was comparatively brief. as
the discussion of almost all import
ant matter is relegated to special
messages
In both houses the message was
subjected to most careful scrutiny.
Following the custom the mes
sage was referred to the committee
of the whole to be prepared for vivl-
section by various committees whose
business is to deal with subie',ts dis
cussed by the president in his mes
sage.
The senate adjourned at 2:30 o'clock
cut of respect to the memory of Rep
Dearmond of Missouri and
Representative Lassitar of Washing
ton.
The house adjourned at 1850 in the
afternoon.

Hamburg, Dec. THE exposion of
two gas tanks in the so-called

this forenoon was followed by an ex-
tensive fire and the loss of many

it came in contact with the flames
causing terrible explosion. 'Alarge

Forty men were dangerously injur-

PROVISION PRICES
BREAK ALL RECORDS
(By Associated Press.l

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 7.-Provision
prices are the highest in many years.
Lard, for instance, sold last week
at the best prices since the early
seventies November advanced to
$14.3O per hundred pounds, whit-h ex-
ceeded the $3.50 of 1875. A feature
OF the advance this year is that it
was ON light stocks. 50 that 800
tierces cash lard afloat on the ocean
sold at $1445, which is an extraord-
mary figure.
Early in the sixties and seventies
$13 for lard was not considered as
very high, but it is so considered now
because the trade has had much low
er prices in the interim. In 1876 lard
advanced from SIG to- $50 in six
months. In July, 1896, the lowest
price was made, $3.O5, and even at
that price there were spectators who
locked upon the price as likely to 60
still lower.
Christmas steers sold in the open
market Wednesday at $3.50, the
highest price on record in the MEM
ory Of active business men, being 20
cents above the $3.50 paid in June,
1907, WHICH was CHe Dest price sluCe
war times. It was paid for one load
of prime 1873 pounds of Iowa grade
Hereford branded steers. This was
taken as confirmation Of the reports
that prime steers were scarce. In the
International Live Stock show last
week, record prices were made, the
Bfty-two carloads of prize show cattle
selling at $11.45 per- 100 pounds, the
best show prices ever obtained, COM
paring with SO last year. For the
grain champion car load" of steers.
Armour paid SIS per hundred, or 81
