THE WEEKS MARKET REPORT.

Receipts for the week at the North
Portland stock yards have been: Cat
tie 40, calves Is, hogs 5243, sheep 1858.
Cattle liquidation has been extremely
light this week and business not very
brisk. Packers are showing prefer
ence for prime hay and granted steers
weighing from 1850 to 1900 pounds. OF
course this variety is comparatively
scarce and most of the transportations
are in medium and heavy bullocks. Beef
outlet is narrow. Decreased receipts
have undoubtedly had SOLDERING effect
on prices, but trade is not active as yet.
A few good butcher cattle were sold
during the week, but the market was
slow. Bulk prices were as follows:
Prime steers, $7.25 to $3.50; prime cows,
$6.25 to $500; heifers, $3.50 to $6.75;
calves $500 to 5000; bulls, $3.50 and
1918.
Swine prices climbed to $S.15 Thurs
day as receipts have been very snail
since Monday, when the sec ond largest
run Of the year arrived. Buying was
brisk all week and prices maintained a
a strong front. Bulk of choice light
hogs brought $500 to $s.D5, but os-
casional sales were made at $8 20 to

ENDS LIFE WITH GUN.

Louis DeGrush, aged 83, committed
suicide Saturday evening by shooting
himself in the head at the Ed Cawley
place on north State street. It is
thought that his death occurred about
6 O'Clock and his body was found
about two hours later in the barn where
he had his trunk and other personal
effects stored. Mr.. DeGrush has re-
sided on the prairie for a number of
years and for long time has made his
home at the Mark Howe home. He en-
joyed wide cquaintanceship and was
well liked and respected by all who
knew him. Dependency brought on by
old age and failing health doubtless pro-
NOTED the rash act which ended his
life. The funeral was conducted Tues
day by Undertaken Hancock.

GRAND JURY CLEARS
|COOPEROF CHARGE
Of MURDER
FINDINGS VINDICATE ACCUSED
MAN WHO BR0U0HT WITNESSES
TO PROVE INNOCENCE.
|N0 WORD ON DEARING CASE
Jurors Said to be Investigating Several
Cases and Grimes
Not Yet In Sight.

w. G. Cooper was cleared of q murde,
charge by the Idaho county grand jury
Tuesday after q thorough investigation
into the shooting Of Ed Spencer fol
which Cooper was held. The findings
of the grand jurors in this case clearly
vindicate Cooper.
The testimony of Cooper and Julius
Colemorgan and Orrin Goodrich was
heard by the grand jury and disclosed
it is said, that Spencer had been placed
under arrest for the alleged theft Of
goods from the Dewey mine near Roose
welt. While in custody Cooper had
been detailed to guard him.
Dead Mans Ruse Fails.
1t appears that Spencer handed
Cooper note as a ruse and when Coop.
er reached out his hand to accept the
missive Spenced grappled with the
guard and attempted to gain possession
of Cooper's revolver. The men were in
room at the time and the struggle
which lasted several minutes, ended
when Cooper fired upon his prisoner
the bullet entering the breast and
death resulting almost instantly. From
the evidence adduced it would seem
that both men had hold of the weapon
when it was discharged.
Goodrich was a witness of the killing
and Colemorgan arrived upon the scene
soon after it had occurred.
1t is said that Spencer had been
carrying on the practice of taking
goods from the mine for several days
statement having been made that he
and companion, who is said to have
decamped from that locality, were seen
hauling away sled load of goods from
the property.
The arrest was made by Cooper, Cole
morgan, Goodrich and others. Spencer
was killed ON December 81, 1913, and
his body was inferred at Roosevelt a
few days later.
Return Joint Indictment.
The grand jury returned an indict-
ment yesterday charging George Meade
and Roscoe Bowles with burglary for
the alleged burglarizing of the home Of
nay Bartlett near Keuterville on Sep
tember l6, 1913. The men were indict
ed Jointly. Meade is at liberty under
bonds and Bowles is fugitive, having
never been apprehended. Meade, it is
reported, pleaded not guilty to the
charge yesterday.
Ihere is as yet no definite report
from the grand jury regarding what ac-
tion that body expects to take in regard
10 the Dearing case. It is authori
tatlvely reported that the jurors have
mad the case under consideration a
greater part Of the time since conven-
ing and it is said to be likely that re-
commendation, one way or the other
will be made soon.

SAY "HELLO"

When you meet friend in woe,
Walk right up and say, "Hello!"
Say, "Hello!' and "How d'ye do!'
And "How's the world a-using you?"
Slap the fellow on the back,
Hit him with sounding whack;
Walk right up and dom be slow,
Grin and sha ke, and say "Hello!''
Is he clothed in ragsi Oh, sho!
Walk right up and say, "Hello!'
Rags are but common roll
Just for wrapping up soul;
And soul is worth true
Hail and hearty How d'ye do!'
Don't be bashful, don't be slow,
Take his hand and say ''Hello!"
When the big ships meet, they say,
They salute and pass away.
So it is with you and me,
Lonesome ships upon the sea;
Each one sailing his own log
For port beyond the fog.
So let you speaking trumpet blow,
Raise your voice and shout "Hello!''
When we leav We this house Of clay,
wandering to that far-away,
When we journey to country strange
Just beyond the dividing range,
Then the souls we've met will know
Who we be-, an dsay ''Hello"
