YOUNG GIRL KILLS WOLF

TaSidemist Hayes Of this city has
just finished mounting a very fine
specimen Of prairie wolf The ami
mal was killed some time ago by Miss
Margaret MeNulty, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Tom MeNulty, of the Cattle
creek country. It is said that she and
their two dogs were out after the cows
and that the dogs cornered the wolf
and kept it from running away until
Miss McNulty secured a club and beat
it to death. Miss McNulty is but sew
euteen years Of age, and 1t is doubtful
if there are a half dozen men in Glen
wood that would face an animal with
nothing but club to defend them
selves with. The skin is said to be one
of the finest ever brought to the shop
of Mr., Hayes.

DENVER CATTLE

General Offerings of cattle were
good at the local market this morning,
and under good demand everything was
closed out in good season. Some trains
were late in getting in and for this
reason the trade dragged out more or
less over the forenoon, but all early
arrivals were sold in short order. The
prices were a little stronger than yes
terday The market was weak early
this week, owing to eastern declines,
but the firmness of the last day or so
has about wiped out all the early loss
and the local market is about the same
as at the close of last week. Good cat
tie of all kinds are wanted and selling
to good advantage, and statesmen could
dispose of a good many more than they
are getting at the present time.
Beef Cattle-The beef steer market
was quiet this morning and there was
practically nothing on sale. The dc
mand is good with good to choice steers
quotable at 1920 to 1915, and right
fancy stuff on up. Good, fat cows
were not very pletiful, most of the of
feriugs being OF the fair to good order
and selling around $500 to $4.35, tho
right choice cows are quotable up to
$465 and fancy stuff even higher. The
light medium cows sold down to $685.
and poorer grades way down to $3.50.
Bulls were fully steady and in good de-
mand. Veal calves were little higher
beat light weights selling up to $7.75.
Feeders and tSockers- The feeder and
-toeker demand was good today as it
has been for some time past, but re
caipts were light ON the early marked,
most of thg offerings in this division
coming in late. Most of the prices
were strong and the market has held
up ON the good fleshy feeders all week.
rs there have been several country buy
crs looking for the good steers to re
plenfsh their feed lots. Good to choice
steers are selling at sl.75 to $3.50, and
fancy stuff on up. The fair to good
are going mostly at $500, to $4.65, aud
light rought steers from 1878 down.

During the past week the people of

real amusement in one hour than Glen
wood has had for moths. Vernon is

OIL PANEL QUASHED,
TOO M4NY FARMERS ON IT.
SAYS JUDGE.
Chicago Court Wants Business Men.
on Jury IN Standard RetriaI-
Case Delayed.

Chicago. Feb. 23.-The retriai of the Standard
Oil Company Of Indiana was Unexpectedly de-
layed to-day. when Judge Anderson Quashed the
panel OF $50 veniremen because Of what he con-
sidered the singularly large proportion Of farm
thereon.
1t a so-called farmers" jury which
brought in the verdict making Judge Lands's
fine of 500. 100000 in the original case possible
and John S. Miller. Of the defence. was prompt
in calling the Courts attention to the fact that
the panel present for the new trial contained
only three Chicagoans, although so per cent Of
the population within the jurisdiction Of the
court lives in Cook County
"It looks like design, or IL not design, it looks
like a strange coincidence commented Judge
Anderson whereupon T. c. Mcmillan and R. c.
Jones. the jury commissioners. insisted with
vgor that the latter was the case. that the panel
had been drawn exactly IN other cases This
the Court admitted later to be a fact.
District Attorney Sims and his special as
sistant, James H. wi1kerson, quoted authorities
to show that all defendant legally claim is
a fair honest and intelligent jury to try his
case. Mr. Wilkerson declared that the jury did
not need TO represent every portion Of a judicial
district T-e said there statute TO compel
the jury commission TO take geography or occu-
patton into consideration.
'T don't want TO start in with this hearing
feeling that there is something unfair"
swered the Court we ought to start fair and
keep fair I think this panel ought to be set
aside I will instruct the jury commission to
put in $50 names Of men. good proportion of
whom shall be good business men from Chicago
and Cook County. II happens that this case
is tried in a district composed of an enormous
commercial city and several rural counties. The
country may have purer air, higher moral
standard and greater intelligence than the city.
but that is open question. However.
not going outside the issue when I say that If
the jury were composed partly of business men
who would realize great industrial and COM
mercial phase of the case a more satisfactory
and just verdict may be reached"
On motion Of Mr. Miller Judge Anderson said
he would hear arguments Of counsel tomorrow
as to whether shipments settlements OF
freight charges constitute the offence. The gov
eminent will contend that each shipment Of oil
on which an alleged rebate was paid forms
separate violation of the law. Under this
struction of the law IT would be possible to fine
the defendant, If found guilty, maximum of
$4,000 600. There We're it is charged. thirty-six
settlements of freight charges these ship
ments Accepting the latter view, q maximum
fine of $4,000 is possible.
The jury commission ordered to produce

BIDDLE-O'RRIEN BOUT.
Not Viezced as Great Exhibition
IN Philadelphia.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Philadelphia, Feb 23.-Anthony J. Drexel BID
die the millionaire athlete. and 'PhlladelphlSt
jack O'Br1en. the middleweight pugilist' In a
six-round bout were the features tonight OF a
novel entertainment for Philadelphia's smart set
at the Philadelphia Athletic Club. Despite
pouring rain the club was crowded with male
and female representatives of local society, VINO
keenly enjoyed boxing bouts between NUMBER
of professional pugilists, water polo game
swimming, wrestling and kindred sports. The
chief attraction. however. was the Blddle-
O'Brien bout for which both had been training.
The two boxers got the glad hand when
they climbed into the ring. but their subsequent
exhibition was anything but satisfying to fol-
lowers of the boxing game, There was more
scampering around than boxing, and though
they went five rounds to what might have been
called a draw the rounds hardly lasted a min
ute each and the bell cut them short when they
attempted brotherly mix-up.
O'Brien apparently never tried to land on his
opponent, and beyond couple of taps on the
nose was content TO block all Of Bddle's leads.
The latter worked hard to get to Jack, but
the professional far too clever, and had he
been so disposed might have walloped his op-
ponent before the latter's friends.
