burn Prison.

AUBURN. N. Y, April 2s.-Pacy Hill was
electrocuted in Auburn prison this morning
at 6:l3:10. But two shocks were necessary

seconds under a full minute, while the sec
ond contact. administered several minutes
later lasted but four seconds. The inter-
vening time was consumed in making an
examination of the man to determine
whether the first shock had killed. The
physicians were of the opinion that death
was instantaneous The current registered
1850 volts at eight and one-ha1 amperes.

COMPETITION Is GETTING TENSE
Guild Returns from Chicago with

Competition between manufacturers and
dealers for the wool clip OF Wyoming is

possibility of the growers storing In Omaha.
is keeping up ptices on Wyoming to 81 to

Something Of the magnitude of the
swindle which buyers worked on wool
growers last year is Just beginning to come
TO the surface. The mills are reported to
be short of raw material in the east and
the east has been secured for remnants of
last years clip. Yet at the beginning OF
the season and until it dawned on the
commission houses that the Wyoming wool
would be stored in Omaha unless prices
were better. the buyers assured the grow
ers that ID cents was the Top which could
be paid and wool would not reach Is cents
In a year.
More than 2S.0OO,OO0 pounds OF Wyoming
wool was bought last year for 10 to Is
cents per pound, about 10 cents less than
1t was worth. which means the growers OF
the state are out s2,S0O,ooO as a result OF
dealing with the east.
The establishment OF the Omaha ware
house and declaration Of business men OF
this city that they would finance the wool
growers, has undoubtedly created the com
petition beween the manufacturers and
buyers which is pushing the price up on
the clip which is coming.
The New York Commercial says in a
dispatch from B~oston-the bee hive Of the
dealers who have been trimming wool
growers:
In Wyoming the prices Of q to % cents
paid the last week cannOt be compared
with values a year ago, as dealers were
then refusing to buy Wyoming wool, and
