Made Settlement

Dave Taylor, claim agent for the
Union Pacific railroad, was an Ellis
visitor Tuesday and while here made
settlement with II. d. Ferrier for
the loss of his two feet by being run
over some five or six months ago.
Mr.. Ferrier received check for
S5, 200, which is thought by him to be
a very fair settlement on the part of
the company, and which is a great
deal better than the company very
often does in cases of this sort. The
people of Ellis will rejoice with Mr..
Ferrier and family in his good for
tune. Headlight.

Why Eggs Rot

John Stewart, veteran produce
dealer of Concordia, in a circular
letter to his customers says the mer-
chants are making but feeble efforts
to candle the eggs they receive and
advises them to try a new plan as
follows: ''If the merchants could
only persuade their farmer custom
ers to get rid of their roosters after
the Matching season, ninety per cent
of our troubles would cease, for it is
fact that an infertile egg will keep
long time even in the hottest
weather, while fertile egg spoils in
very few days. When the temper
ature runs from 90 to 100 the germ in
the egg begin to hatch and produces
what we call blood rungs or blood
rots- When you break one of these
open youSfind speck of blood on the
yolk- These eggs are not fit for food
and have to be dumped. Smith

Young Marauders

Last Sunday afternoon three small
boys, sons of prominent residents in
Natoma, entered through the back
door of the Palece meat market and
opened the money drawer of the cash
register, taking, as found afterward,
something over $500 in silver. Jake
Frazier, who was waiting for the
shop to open. heard the ring of the
drawer as it was opened and stepped
to the door, thinking the proprietor
was in. He caught a glimpse of the
boys, who attempted to hide and
then ran for the back door where
Jake caught and questioned two of
them. Others were then informed
and the boys, who in the meantime
had Secreted their money near the
stock yards, were compelled to con-
fess and dig up the dough. The boys
are not notoriously bad boys and all
come of respectable homes, but their
desire for spending money led them
entirely too far. 1t is not likely that
any one of them alone would have
thought of such deed but betwixt
the three the scheme was hatched
No action will be taken against
the boys but their misdoings should
serve as a solemn warning to the
parents to be more careful of their
whereabouts in the future. -Natoma

Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, August
L, 1911.
The rather large number of cattle
that have reported for duty here yes
terday and today produced a weak
spine on the selling side temporarily,
but no serious damage has been done
The supply yesterday footed up 49,
900 cattle and 1000 calves, and 1000
head of cattle and calves came in to-
day, making the largest two days
run in three weeks. Quarantine
steers, and medium and low grade
natives sold weak to 10 lower yester-
day to killers, but it was found pos
sible today to secure steady to strong
prices on all killing steers, including
quarantines. Cows sold steady yes
terday, but that class is off little
today. Stockers and feeders closed
last week in good shape, and they
are not performing very creditably
this week, having lower tendency.
Quality was well represented here
today, yearling steers making S7.25,
prime heifers S7.1O, and Kansas win
tered grassers $500. A year ago this
latter class of steers was selling at
S7.00 to $3.50, and a commission man
who handles a good share of this kind
of cattle that come here said today
that they would be selling around
S7.00 in thirty days from now
Several lots of these wintered steers
brought 1925 today, SO that predic-
tion involves an advance of 50 to rs
cents in the meantime. The action
of the market today discloses a good
outlet for beef cattle, and as no bur-
densome supplies are in the prospect
it looks like clear sailing for those
who have cattle about ready for mar
ket. Grass cows bring So. .25 to S4.75,
bulls 1925 to $500, veal calves up to
S7.00, stock steers 1925 to S4.65,
feeders 81. 25 to s.. SO, stock cows and
heifers 81. IS to S4.0O.
Hogs are wavering at top notch
figures, but opinion prevails that as
soon as the market settles little,
and packers get used to seven as
front figure in marking up prices,
values will go still higher. Receipts
have been running lighter from week
to week, in spite of the fact that the
character of the supplies embraced
SO much light stuff as to Indicate
that a fine tooth comb was being run
over the country. Commission men
say it is a sin to sacrifice so MANY
pigs and light hogs. However, quality
is running better this week, run TO-
900 here today, which is three thou
sand less than first estimates. The
market is steady to lower today,
top $40, bulk Sc. 80 to STOP
Sheep sold steady yesterday, lambs
10 TO Is higher, but it all off today,
the market called weak to 25 lower
The best lambs could do today was
$685., some heavy yearlings $40,
wethers 400 to 81. 25, ewes So 30 to
S3S5, breeding ewes $500 to 1915.
The run is mostly natives yet, though
Utah and Northwestern stuff will
start freely in about two weeks. The
range offerings will be fatter than
customary this season, with smaller
quota of feeding stuff included than
in recent years.

At about two O'Clock of Wednes-
day morning the postoffice at Norca-
tur was entered and robbed of some
thing over 5000. in cash and S54O. 90
in postage stamps. The handle of the
outside door was twisted off with
wrench and an explosive inserted in
the opening which blew the front of
the safe open. No knowledge was
conveyed to the natives of the town
by the explosion, that robbery was
going on, and it was only discovered
when the postmaster opened at the
usual hour. The Phillipsburg hounds
were sent for at once, and they passed
through Norton by automobile at
about eleven o'clock. When they ar
rived at Norcatur the trail was taken
up to the right of way of the B. &
M. and followed east about a mile
whers il abruptly ended. Returning
to tile depot, the trail was again
taken up going west This was fol-
lowed for about five miles, then down
an embankment into a thicket where
the dogs made considerable of a
stand circling around as though the
gang. Finally they made a break
south and sprinted along nearly all
night until reaching the r. l. depot
at Jennings where the scent was en-
tirely lost. The supposition is that
the robbers took a train out of Jen-
nings for either the east or west
The robbers did not stop to empty
the drawers of the safe in the post
office but carried them right with
them. Some of these drawers con-
tanned papers valuable only to the
postmaster. Sheriff Saum is of the
opinion that in the thicket at the
foot of the embankment spoken of is
where the drawers were emptied of
their contents the money and stamps
appropriated and the balance pushed
into a culvert near by or otherwise
disposed of somewhere near the
thfcket. The robbers have made
good their escape for this time at
any rate-NortOn Courier.

W. H. Gilcher has brought suit in the district court at Fairbanks against 1 G. Hamilton, A. r. Allen, H. R. Eli Ott, John Doe and Richard Roe for d dissolution of partnership and d part nership accounting.
 The complaint sets forth that the plaintiff and defendants Hamilton and Allen, have been doing business in Iditarad since May 9, 1910, under the firm name of the Pioneer Sheet Metal Works
 December 6 the plaintiff went Out side. Prior to that time, or on October l9, judgment had been given against the plaintiff for the sum of $l,894 95, and on this he at once paid S500. On February ? while Outside his One-third interest in the tinshoD was sold out at marshaps sale in satisfac-
 tion of the debt, the purchaser being H. R. Elliott, who bid it in for Hamil- ton and Allen for S7lO.
 At that time the property was worth SG,000, and the company then had on hand $2, 300 which could have been ap-
 piled to the judgment.
 On December 1 piaintiT had sent q
 further sum of $500 to Fairbanks 10 ap- ply on the judgment, so the 87l0 bid by Elliott was sufficient to clear the obi gation.

two club-owners who were ignorant

others.
To accomplish this, the manager or
one team, or some player, would
have to be instructed. The man who
