Instance of Cruelty.

The only really cruel thing 1 have
heard of in my vicinity was the killing
of one man by some bandits They hung
him and set fire to him before he was
dead. But these men were not constitu-
tionalistS.
"A constant scandal in the country is
the. manner i'm which group of men is
selling liquor and provisions to the fed
eraI soldiers. The soldiers are kept in
constant debt to these men and whenever
any pay comes for the soldiers il is inn
mediately taken away from them. There
can be no doubt that many of the fed
erals are forced to fight.

nights close, in sympathy with better ca

market became easier, owing to scattered
proht-taking. Later spot brokers gave
the market good support and this encour-
aged a scattered demand, which resulted
in less pleasure to sell. Prices quickly
responded and within fifteen minutes a
