CONSUMPTION OF MEAT
CUT BY HIGH COST

KANSAS CITY STOCKYARDS,
July 30.-A combination of circum-
stances is working against ahe cat
tie market that is a little more eff
.fective in depressing prices than the
short supply is in advancing prices.
Killers have advanced the price OF
beef to retailers, who in turn ad-
vanced the price to consumers, and
many of these have backed away.
Newspapers attach blame to both
packer sand cattle producers, and
this controversy also cuts meat
consumption. The result is a slight
decline in prices of all but few
specialties.
Receipts were 1900 head. Prime
heavy steers continue to creep up
ward, recording a new top yester-
day at S9.95. Other sales of near
prime steers were numerous at 5000
to S9.S5. some branded westerns fed
in Kansas selling at 500. Bulk of
native steers sold at a slightly low
er range than week ago, at 800
10 1925. Half fat yearlings are
mean sellers, and choice yearlings
are rot as high as a week ago; best
at $3.50. Kansas grass steers are
selling at $3.50 to 5000. the latter
price being secured today for a ship
ment OF Davis Greenwood county
steers. l.34S pounds average. Fat
native cows sell at $3.50 to $7.25.
top grass cows SOS. Quarantine
cattle are moving freely. the sup
ply of 80 car loads today consist
ing OF a few shipments of North
Texas cake fed steers, which class
is about all marketed for this sea
son, and a large supply OF mixed
Oklahoma cattle. The best cake
led steers brought $40 wintered
steers from the Usage country and
other sections of Oklahoma at $3.50
to %.25. medium and common light
steers $3.50 to SOS. Stock cattle
have lacked life for some time. the
best selling at 81 to SIS. which
are considered bargain prices by
a good many dealers. Heavy feed
ers are having something of a
boom, Illinois and Iowa men taking
them at SIS to $S.65 for short
feeds.
Sheep and lambs sold lower last
week, particularly lambs, which de-
clined more than a dollar per hun
bred. Receipts were 5000 today;
market strong to l0c higher; best
lambs at 800, and ewes worth $3.50
to SAYS. Breeding ewes today at
$500. Receipts are largely Arizo-
mas and natives. although choice
northwestern lambs would sell TO
advantage here.

ARGUE DEMURRER IN
CLARK CASE
Iron FRIDAYS DaiIvl


For over three hours yesterday
afternoon gala array of local legal
talent submitted extensive and elab-
crate arguments and delved into a
swarm of law books before Judge
William +. Cooper, sitting in the
local superior court proceedings in
which County Road Superintendent
d. NJ. Clark is charged with six in
formations alleging graft from the
county road fund.
Representing the state, County
Attorney p. w. O'Sullivan and As
sistant County Attorney Joseph Fl.
Morgan spoke for fully an hour and
a half arguing against the demur-
rers submitted by the defense at
torneys to the information. The
defense attorneys. J. aRlph Tascher,
z. S. Clark and Leroy Anderson.
did equally as much digging into
law volumes.
The defense attorneys based their
arguments for the sustaining OF the
demurrer upon a number of cases
in California which bore the same
marks as the local graft charges
Counsel contended that the statute
states specifically thar the board OF
supervisors shall pay no demand ex-
cept those specifically mentioned
made by any county officer. and
that all such demands or claims
made by a county officer are null
and void. except the one made for
his salary.
In view of this law, contended
the defense counsel, there was nc
crime committed by Clark. mas
much as section 20 of the penal
code states that every person who
shall present for allowance or per-
init any state board or officer or
any county board or officer author
lied to allow or pay the same if
genuine shall be guilty of felony"
The defense contends that mas
much as the board of supervisors
was not empowered to honor the
warrants submitted by Clark, that.
therefore, no crime was committed
by the defendant. In other words.
the blame for any fraud practice
or loss of county funds is put di-
rectly up to an alleged indiscre-
ton OF the board OF supervisors.
Judge Cooper took the case I'M
der advisement.

BIG DEAL IN
FARMING LANDS

Another large deal for desirabl
ranch hand in Skull valley was
closed yesterday whereby Dixon Fa-
gerberg and H. c. Miller acquire,
the T. H. Miller place OF 320 acres
for which the sum OF $4,000 wa
the consideration. This transaction
is noteworthy, as it is the secon,
one closed in that section in tn
past three weeks. c. L. Miller sold
at that time to w. w. Colby an
H. c. Miller for a sum rangin,
close to $4,000.
Linked to these two deals. other.
will be closed up in a few days
ultimately, it is believed, PRACTICAL,
every Skull valley ranch OF meritet
rating will be in the hands pf new
owners. Fagerberg & Miller, VIII,
acquire the last Miller place, stated
yesterday the transforming of tn,
old into the new begins immedi
ately.
New houses are to be built, the
old fence relaid. and alfalfa an6
fruit raising will be carried on O;
much larger scale than heretofore
dairy and range cattle will be one
Of the objects Of the owners. In
fact. the large acreage will be re-
habilitated throughout and made
productive. This land adjoins the
Colby & Miller holdings. and whei
plans for the two are crystalized
in the extensive reclamation under
consideration. the perspective OF
that section of Skull valley will be
refreshing, to say the least As
well will its producing ability be
proven. the fertility of the soil re-
curing only the effort of the hus-
6andman to demonstrate, with the
water in abundance, for every inch

(trom Wednesdays Daily)
Death ended the sufferings of O.
E. Swinney in the county hospital
yesterday and today NJ. Malley is
held in the county Jail with a
charge probably Of murder, hanging
over his head. Swinney battled
bravely for four days but the odds
were too great against him and he
finally succumbed to the fatal stab
wounds in his right chest, abdomen
and checks.
Details of the fatal fight in which
Swinney and Malloy are alleged to
have engaged, are very meagre but
the county attorney and sheriff are
now digging into the facts. The
cutting was done in a Jerome saloon
late last week
Swinney was Immediately rushed
to the county hospital where it was
thought at first that he would re-
cover. He suffered a change for
the worse, however, and death came
suddenly. Malloy was arrested I'M

brought to the county Jail where
he has been held pending the out

LITTLE MOHAVE SETS
PACE FOR BIG ONES
(From Sundays Daily.)

The smallest county in Arizona,
is expanding the largest amount of
money OF any county in Arizona in
carrying out its commendable road
program said State Division Engi-
neer f. X. Goodman, who returned
from Kingman yesterday after max
ing an inspection of highways in his
jurisdiction. Goodman says the road
from Kingman to Needles of sixty
miles in length, is built, and is a
splendid speedway. From Kingman
east the Aubrey Investment Com
pany has big and lively camp
seven miles out, and the grade is
being rapidly constructed. To the
Yavapai line the distance is also
SIXTY miles and when the gap IS
closed, a boulevard cutting across
from east to west will give Mohave
the finest highway in the southwest.
Mr.. Goodman also says that an
average of ten autos n day are pass
ing through Kingman, on the ocean
to ocean journey. Aside from the
main artery. that county is also
lavishly building new and repairing
the feeder roadways, to afford the
lowest transportation charges to its
ranches and cattle camps.
The state road bond issue will
sweep the county were his con-

Spokane minister, will live. accord
ing to surgeons who have attended
him the last month.
The case is one of the most re-
markable ever presented to local
medical men. The boy was acct
dentally shot more than 4 month
ago, and after lying unconscious for
a week survived two delicate opera
tions for the removal of a portion
of the brain. Unless unforeseen
complications ensue surgeons say he
will recover, despite the fact that
it is impossible to probe further
for the bullet
The leaden missile penetrated a
portion of the brain in a place
where it would usually be fatal. A
hemorrhage which followed had to
be stopped by an operation. A few
days later a portion of the brain
that had been shattered by the bui-
let was removed. Many small bits
of bone imbedded in the brain also
were removed. The patient immed-
lately began to recover. displaying

from every citizen in the county. a
