week to care for the average recluse
during his last illness is the decision
of Probate Judge Coomes in a case
arising in Day county. Geo. Flesh
mann, a farmer and a hermit, was
found in his squalid home in a serious
condition from what appeared to be
blood poisoning and %gangrene. 1t was
found necessary to amputate part of
one of his feet and he was advised to
go to a hospital. but refused. request
ing that r. r. Williams, a ~neighboring
farmer. be detailed to care for him.

man AL possible care during the re-
naming five weeks of hts life. Flesh
mann's only heir. a wealthy sister re
siding in Germany. contested the
claim of Williams. After a hearing

tai of $500, or $50 per week for his

s25o,o00 BURGLARY
ROBBERS SUCCESSFULLY LOOT A
PAWNSHOP BY TUNNEL
METHOD.
SIX CRACKSMEN INVOLVED
Saw Hole in Floor to Avoid Burglar
AIarm-Hack Safe to Pieces
ard Escape with
Rich Haul.

New York, March 1S.-An East
Side burglary, perpetrated by clever
cracksmen, Melted the thieves the
largest haul obtained in New York
city in many years.
Pawn Brokers Victims.
Martin Simons & Sons, pawn brok-
ers in Hester street were b victims.
They declare the property stolen VIII
amount to more than $3.50, 600. Fifty
thousand dollars in securities was
taken.
Later, 100000 in securities was
found scattered on the floor of the
vault, the robbers evidently having
been afraid to take them owing to
the risk of detection in their disposal.
The thieves entered the pawn brok-
ers' richly stored vault by means of
a tunnel from a building abutting on
a neighboring street.
The police are of the opinion that
six cracksmen We're employed on the
Job and that the tunnelling required all
Of last night and the greater part OF
Sunday morning. 1t is their belief that
the robbery took place while hundreds
of persons were passing along the
street in front OF the pawnshop.
A janitress, pcering through the win
dow of the shop late yesterday, no.
ticed the litter near the vault and
gave the alarm.
Police Find Tunnel.
The police found hat the tunel was
begun in the cellar of a house in Ed
ridge street. directly adjoining Simons'
slace. 1t was driven through the wall
of the EIdridge street house and into
the wood bin in the cellar of the ST
non store. There, leading up into
the pawnbrokers' shop, is a flight o.
stairs. They were wired for a burglar
alarm, however, and the thieves avoid
ed them and sawed away the overhead
flooring at a spot in front of the vault.
The vault, which stands II feet high
and is built into the wall, was entered
by chopping away the masonry. ST.
mons & Sons have been in business
in Hester street for a number of years.
1t was literally ~patronized because the
interest charged was below the legal
rate.
Another thing that seemed to point
to the up-to-date business acumen OF
the hooters was that they left behind
them three pairs of gloves. The police
are of the opinion that the cracksmen
wore gloves in robbing the vault, real
izing the extent to which the finger
print bureau of the police department
is capable of going in detecting crooks
who leave impressions of their fingers
at the scenes of thei1 crimes.

BOUGHT SOME DAIRY CATTLE.

Gerald O'Connor returned from To-

a car load Of fine dairy cattle. While
the load was mixed as to breeds, that
is there were Jerseys and Holsteins,
they were all registered stock and
had bene inspected for tuberculosis
and declared perfect. The load was
made up to a great extent Of heifers
and young cows. Mr.. 0'Connor plac-
ed twenty-five Of these heifers and
COWS on sale and an opportunity was
thus offered to the farmers of this
section to secure some fine thorough
bred dairy cattle. Mr.. 0'Connor is OF
the opinion that the farmers here
will have to go to raising more cat
tie, mostly dairy cattle and their pro-
ducts, and not put so much time in on
Just the one crop. He will build a
silo this summer on Sunny-Side Farm
and expects to milk some fifteen head
of dairy COWS this fall and coming
winter.-Macksville Enterprise.

MARKET REPORT.

Kansas City Stock Yards, June %.
Dry weather talk was general last
week and resulted in break Of u
to 50 cents on stock cattle and feed
ers. The withdrawal of country buy
ers gave killers a chance to insist on
concessions and thus a part Of the
bloom recently acquired by killing
cattle was dissipated. It was done
without the actual appearance Of any
dry weather cattle worthy of mention
Scattered rains have fallen in the la :
few days, and there is less drouth
talk today. The run Of 1000 cattle
here today contains few that have
been forced in pnematurely, account
Of dry weather. The market ruled
steady to 10 lower on killing cattle
today, and fully steady on stock
grades, at the recent decline. Heavy
steers sold best today, contrary to
custom, natives reaching $685. and
1915, not quite the full limit Of the
market, and mixed yearlings up to
1915 also, bulk of the natives at
$7.S5 and upwards, fed westerns $3.50
to $3.50, quarantine fed steers $7.S5
to $500, grass steers $500 to 500.
Some low grade panhandle killing
steers sold down to $685. in the last
week. Good stock steers may be had
at 500 to $3.50. Cows bring s5.25
to SIPS, heifers 1915 to $3.50.
Hogs sold strong to higher today,
receipts $500. All kinds sell close
together, bulk at $3.50 to $3.50, top
1872 IL. Reports indicate a good
many hogs in the country, and deal
ers regard present prices as not to
be counted on as permanent insd-
tuition.
Sheep went to pieces last week,
due to unexpected heavy supplies Of
natives. Receipts today 800, mar
ket stronger, with some spring lambs
at $50, Arizona lambs $500, Texas
muttons today $3.50, others at $500,
some good black face breeding ewes
to the country today at 1915.
