part of the city, died Friday night as
a result of his wounds and a coroner's

The trouble occurred on Saturday
night, a week ago last night, and was
reported to the police station. but
Howard was not apprehended until
last Monday morning, when he was
arrested by officer Collins. After q
hearing before the recorder, he was
turned over to the county officials
where he has been held since that
time, awaiting developments in the
condition of the man he is charged
with assaulting.
Tt seems that the two negroes had 9
quarrel on the afternoon before the
trouble occurred that night and that
when they met later at the house
where Davis was staying with the
mother and sister Of Howard, SIC
North @ street, the trouble was re-
newed, with the result that Howard
cut Davis with knife. almost sever
ing his body.
A coroner's jury was empaneled by
Coroner Nickelsen yesterday morning
and, after examining a number OF wit
nesses verdict was rendered charging
Howard with the killing of Davis.
Both of the negroes were employed
as drivers by j. A. Merritt.

New Orleans, Sept. 21.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of five to
eight points on poor cables and the fail
ure of frost to materialize in the western
belt. Buyers of yesterday turned sellers
and around the call the ring found it
difficult to absorb offerings readily. At
the lowest the trading months were six
to eight points down. The forecast of
frost for the Texas pan handle and of
showers in the eastern belt, where they
wouldprove injurious to the crop, caused
good buying and the market made a
quick recovery, standing unchanged to 1
point UP compared with yesterdays close
at the end of the first half hour of buis-
ness.
The market had a very steady tone
during the greater part of the session.
Shorts were nervous and inclined to
cover on the danger of colder weather
in the western belt over Sunday and the
demand for covers was met by only
slender offerings. Hedge selling appeared
to be very small in spite of the conten-
ton of bears that the spot demand was
Insignificant and that spot owners would
