United States cavalrymen, aloed
by trappers and foresters, secured the
southern trails Of Yellowstone Ma
tional park Wednesday night In searcn
of two bandits who with rifles held up
twenty-five coachloads of tourists In
the park during the afternoon and took
the money Of 165 passengers. The
troops under Lieut.. Col. L. M. Brett,
park SUPERINTENDENT, tried to intercept
the robbers before they reached jack
son Hole country in Wyoming, not

occurred in the Upper Geyser basin,

rounded a bluff they were stopped ana

reloaded and ordered to move on. Moth

being told they could keep their jew

The much dreaded announcement
that war between Austria and SerVla
had been declared, struck the New
York cotton market at noon on Tues
day. with demoralizing effect upon
cotton prices, which broke 80 TO 5O
points under Monday night in the
news, or nearly 81 a bale on new
crop positions, making new low levels
for the present year movement. Clos-
ing prices were only a shade up from
the lowest and "a to so points under
the previous night. July contracts
showed the extreme decline on the
theory that spot cotton would be first
to feel the effects of European war.
Rumors involving other large contl-
mental powers in the controversy add

afternoon market, when trade was on
a large scale, including heavy nqu-
dation, following selling and commls,

that as a result of the foreign eX-
change market being more or less
disorganized by the European de-
yelopments there might be unusually
large hedge selling in this market as
soon as the new crop is ready 10
move.
