steel underground bridges at the Stock

Routt, engineer I'm he employ Of the
Union Stock Yards company. narrowly
escaped death or serious injury Monday

the steed and the after bolted. Young

eyes and thrown unconcious to the pave
ment below.
The young man was hurriedly removed
to his home at 1902 South Twenty-fourth
street and medical all summoned. Sew
eral stitches were taken In the cut

blow struck a few inches higher II is
thought that a fracture would have re-

High Price OF Feeder sheep.
The high price OF :oeder sheep on the
local market will have considerable to do
with the alacrity with which sheepmen
OF Nebraska. Colorado and Wyoming,
who have been steady annual season
buyers in this class of stock previous
10 the present year. buy such stock this
year. Contrary to reports emanatlng
from Wyoming that high prices are
being paid for such stock in that state.
Albert Nichols OF Aulr, Colo. who was
at the local yards yesterday with con-
signment OF stock. was of the opinion
haN haN - u.
present sheep herds IN this state were
still in feeder lots.
That sheep feeders would turn them
selves into the cattle business. because
of the high prices OF feeder stock at
present and which show good prospect
Of being just as high throughout the
entire summer, would be very unlikely
according to Nichols. He said that IL
worst come to worst. these men would
go out of business altogether In such
case. He also said that he has good
reason to believe that sheepmen would
not be buying feeders until way later
than the usual summer rush this year

We explained to him that IL we fol

marked goods so we could sell them al
half price and still make a profit and pay
for lot OF advertising, our goods and
prices would not impress him and caus,
| him to make the remarks he had jus
made and that we were not built righ
for that kind of a business anyway Ii,
came back at us with "Nur lumpe sine
bescheiden." which translated meani
only fools are modest" We're not too
modest-too short on words fits better
but IL you hear us make more noise you'll
know whence the que.
