SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Butter-There has been no change
since the advance of 2 cents on local
creamery and easterns late last week,
except that country butter is stronger
in sympathy. Suppnes generally are
getting scarce and markets are ad-
vancing. At Chicago market is strong,
due to lighter receipts and good de-
mand. New York market has been
steadily moving upward; stocks held
there in storage are exceptionally large.

cent higher, and market is very firm.
Eastern stocks offering in this market
are unchanged since the advance re-
Gently noted.
Eggs-The strong tone of the market
has continued and there has been al
advance all along the line in both To-
Gals and eastern fresh offerings. Local
production is steadily shrinking, though
considerable local stocks were placed
in storage this season. At Chicago cur
rent receipts are largely under grade,
causing inquiry for storage eggs. AT
| New York market is steady, though
good eggs are not plentiful.
Poultry-Chickens have been scarce,
but more liberal shipments are expected
in a day or two; there is a good de.
mand which is clearing up offerings at
unchanged prices. Ducks, geese and
turkeys are nominal.
Fresh Meats-There is nj change this
week in either dressed meats or live
stock, but the market rules strong a:
heretofore noted, under conditions OF
general scarcity.

either local or eastern lard or cureC

Portland, Ore.-The pressmen and
feeders in twenty-three printshops in
this city are on strike for an advance
in wages and several changes in shop

not afford to grant the increase in
wages asked and that the changes in
shop rules are so drastic that they can
not comply with the demands of their
men,. Not all the print shops are af-
fected, though practically all the large
plants are closed.

figures.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-Local quotations are I'M
changed on both fancy and cooking va
rieties. The crop in this section is a
record breaker, and market is easy at
present comparatively low prices. 1t is
estimated that from the immediate Spo-
kane district 1900 cars of apples Will
be shipped out this fall, as compared
with 200 cars last year.
Peaches-Receipts of peaches have
been heavy and prices have dropped
another 10 cents. Demand is active
and the season is about at its height.
Lemons-With a cool season IN this
section and the end of the general sea-
son of heavy consumption, prices have
eased off rs tents this week.
Other fruits are in seasonable sup
ply and demand, without material
change in prices.
Potatoes-Quotations are unchanged
since the decline noted last week. The
local crop is heavy, without any OUT
look so far for a shipping outlet, and
market is easy at low figures prevail
ing. Sweets are unchanged. At Chi
cage receipts have been heavy, but the
quality poor and prices easy. New
York market strengthened under the
influence of rain in hat section, but
eased off later under increased receipts.
Tomatoes-There is a considerable in
crease in receipts, with an active con
sumptive demand at unchanged prices.
Other Vegetables-Green corn is get
ting scarce and has advanced. Other
vegetables seasonable and unchanged.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Quotations are down 1 cent
as compared with the figures of a week
ago. The recent rains have damaged
wheat somewhat, though this has beer
in reducing quality rather than in any
very great reduction in the aggregate
yield. Fine weather the last few days
is saving the grain, though much of il
is bleached, soft or wet. While move
} ment to tidewater is not yet fully
, under way Gas the weather has delayed
the winding up of harvesting) the ca,
shortage is already causing complaint
Market is rather quiet, as neither mill
nor exporters are buying freely yet
The ground is in fine shape for fal
seeding.
Four-Therc has been no chang
since the decline of so cents on patent
last week. Mills are now grinding o.
new wheat, and there is a good norma
demand for domestics.
Feed-Barley and oats have decline
81. Other feed and millstuffs un
changed. Receipts of new crop stuff
are coming to hand better, though tn
4 unreasonable weather has retarded tn
D movement.

gone, the pair Immediately started for
the home of Charles Long on foot,
arriving there Saturday at dusk. They

CHAUFFEUR KILLED AT SPOKANE
Mystery Surrounds the Death OF
James D. Pollock.

James u. Pollock.
Spokane.-Dead, a bullet hole in his
right temple and a wound on the side
of his head, where the skull had been
crushed, the body of James d. Pol
lock, aged 81 years, livery chauffeur,
was found Sunday morning partly I'M
der his automobile, in Kings canyon,
two miles north of the city limits, on
the Nnie Mile road. All clues as to the
identity of his slayer or slayers, at
least of a positive nature, are sub
merged in a mass of conflicting re-
ports. No motive for the murder, as it
undoubtedly was, can be found. That
robbery was not the purpose is shown
by the fact that the mans pockets had
not been rifled.

AL. NEEVES SH0T To DEATH
NEAR COLFAX, WASH, BY
HIS STEPCHILDREN.
Mrs. BroWneII Claims Stepfather Had
Wronged Her in Absence of Her
Husband Last August Near Guide
sac, Idaho-CoupIe Followed Man to
CoIfax-Filled Him With Bullets.

Colfax, Wash.-Trailed by his step
daughter in male attire and her hus-
band, who walked 100 miles to find
him, AL. Neeves was shot and killed
by the avengers Sunday.
The stepdaughter, who alleges her
parent-by-law had foully wronged her,
fired a bullet into Neeves as he lay
dying.
Mrs. Brownell said, the authorities
stated, that she wished to kill her
stepfather and fired the final shot in
his head as he lay struggling on the
porch. Both reloaded their guns after
the shooting.
Only a few days ago the young cou-
ple-the girl is only 17-caused a SEN
sation by abandoning their two infant
chaldren at Culdesac, Idaho. The real
cause for this abandonment they now
attempt to explain.
Deputy Cole, Prosecuting Attorney
Pattison and Coroner Bruning started
for the scene and met the two just out
of town. The man and woman, who
co IL bhC q ~ vi q Ill
her hair cut short, at once handed
over their guns to the sheriff and told
about the crime. Prior to the shoot
ing they had not eaten for "a hours.
They were brought back to Colfax,
lodged in Jail and the sheriff's party
went to the home of the dead mans
son-in-law, Charles Long, where they
found Neeves with his body full of
bullet holes.
The shooting is an outcome of trou-
BILE between the dead man and the
Brownells which started near Culdesac
Idaho, last month. According to
Brownell, while they were living near
C%uldesac, and during his absence from
home, Neeves wronged his stepdaugh-
ter, Mrs. Brownell.
Also, they allege, at Neeves' instiga-
ton, other men, including a bachelor
neighbor, had also wronged the girl,
and against the latter Brownell pre-
ferred charges, and a preliminary
hearing was held before Judge Stewart
of Culdesac. Pending the trial, &C.
, cOrding to Brownell, he received
threats from several parties that I'M
less he and his wife left the country
they would be killed.
, Accordingly, they left their two chill
dren, aged Is months and 8 months, re-
s%pectively, at the home of Judge Stew
art, leaving a note asking that the chill
dren be cared for.
In the meantime Stewart had given
the children into the custody of Mrs.
= Brownell's mother and stepfather,
Neeves, who brought them to the Long
f home near Colfax.
