Jersey Station Agent Outwits Six
Would Be Robbers.
Newton, N. j., June 27.-Six roughly
dressed men armed with clubs and
carrying ropes entered the Swarts-
wood station and held up ]. W. Brown,
the operator. They commanded him
to open the safe, and when he refused
they threatened to beat him to death.
Pretending to carry out their com
mand, Brown came out from his booth,
and instead Of going to the safe he
ran to the door, and before any of the
gang could catch him he had fed from
the building. He made his way to
Easton, where he reported the holdup,
and in a short while railroad men and
deputy sheriffs had reached the sta
ton, but the six men had vanished.
The safe was intact.

live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. "A, 19l1.- Cattle received here this week, in. cluding calves, 56,200, last week 6l,600, same week last year 42,300. Four fflhs of the supply this week came in Monday and Tuesday, and the unwelcome reception accorded all kinds of cattle those days effectualIy shut off supplies. The weakness was general at all points, and was due to too many cattle offered on top of poultry and game, pointed for the Thanksgiving mar ket. Two thousand cattle came in yesterday, and certain buyers worked up mild fever for them, sales called strong to 15 higher, but it was regarded by dealers as of no significance in affecting the actual situation. Small receipts are needed next week to put the market on it's feet again. StOckers and feeders sold 25 to 50 lower the middle of the week, and are still in the rut, though large array of buyers appeared late Wednesday and yesterday and today, effectu- ally cleaning up the yards. They did it on the low plane of prices established Wednesday, and many are of the opinion that purchases of country grades made this week cannot be duplicated this winter. The same is beiug said of the fat cattle market, though not much is expected of it till after next week. Quarantine cattle have arrived literally, and quality has been be- low par this week, most of the steers at $4 co to $510. Supply from Colorado has been smaller than heretofore, and quality was also below that of recent weeks, beef steers at $4 85 to $5 40, cows and heifers $3.75 to $500 Panhandle feeders reached $5.65, but the bulk of the stockers and feeders sold at $400 to $5 co this week.
 Hogs received this week 89,100, last week 85,600, same week last year 3S,400. The market has proven itself to be a sturdy affair, as the tendency of prices has been upward most of the time, in spite of the heavy run. And it has done ihis without the support of ship pers, as the East is getting plenty of hogs of it's own raising now, and shipping operations are small at
