THE DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, July 2.---
Receipts of cattle last week were quite
liberal on this market and the proport-
ion Of natives included was plentiful.
At this season of the year.when grass
cattle begin to come in good numbers
on this market, price reductions are in
order and the past week has been a
considerable decline, especially on
medium and common grade cattle
Good dry lot fat and good fat COWS and
heifers held up pretty well, but the me
dium grades were around quarter to
30 cents lower than the week before
and further declines of about quarter
were registered on all grades today.
The medium kinds of stock cattle are
$1.00 to $500 per hundredweight lower
than two weeks ago. The demand is
is very good at the prices and
very good clearance was made daily
Good fat steers are selling largely
from $1O.75 to $11.75, with extra choice
kinds quoted up to $I2. Good cows
are bringing 1926 to $40, but mighty
few of the $40 kind coming to market
Pretty fair cows are selling from So 80
to 1926 and palmer grades from $82E
down. Bulls are bringing So to $3.50
and yea calves are going from s12

the demand is very limited Pretty
good light steers are selling around
$7.75 to $3.50 and fair kind OF grass
steers from $3.50 to $3.50
Hogs have shown some decline ir

however. and the Denver market is
relatively higher than river markets

point Good fat hogs are now selling

DuCray Retains
Wrestling Title

The state championship match that
was so much touted for at Delta has
come and gone.
Frank DuCray of Grand junction
and Benjamin Parrish of Olathe and
Delta, were the principals in this test
for physical supremacy and DuCray
won the decision in 65 minutes by a
reverse arm and leg hold, picking Par
rish bodily from the mat and slamming
him squarely on his back upon the mat.
The fall was administered with such
terrific force as to render Parrish un-
able to continue the affair and accord
ingly DuCray was given the decision,
thus retaining his title as state cham
pion.
During these sixty-five minutes both
the principals were placed in about all
the serious positions that any wrestler
has ever come up against, yet both

Western Newspaper Union New. Service
st. Louis, July 3.-ln the Jail al
East st. Louis. 500 ringleaders of the
mobs that battled. lynched and shot
armed negroes yesterday and last
night are prisoners and the edge is
taken from the mob spirit Soldiers
are being rushed here and with bay
onets are clearing the streets. The
fires that brought millions of dollars
in losses are believed under control.
Through the smoking ruins the khaki
clad boys are prodding here. there and
everywhere, finding bodies of the
blacks, charred and burned in the
flames of their own homes. Perhaps
the total dead will never be known,
but 1t may reach $50 and might even
go higher
The hospitals are crowded with shot
and burned negroes. Negro women
with babes are there. Medical assist
ance asked for has arrived. II is
thought by tonight all signs of the rot
will be over and quiet restored.
The mobs in East st. Louis were
swelled by hundreds of people who
early in the evening crossed the river
from St Louis, Mo. This added such
a menace to the situation that at $3.50
o'clock the bridges were closed to all
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Five negro sections of the city were
fired by mobs, terrorized negroes fled
from the burning homes only to meet
bullets from the guns OF the rioters;
four other negroes were shot by snip
prc and fWO were lynchpd
One white man was killed by ne
gro sniper and before the burning be
gan four negroes and one white man
were killed. This includes the detec-
tive sergeant whose death at the
hands of a negro mob was the direct
cause OF the outbreak.
Estimates OF the number of dead
run up to so and higher. but these
estimates are purely conjectural. The
exact number slaughtered probably
will never be known, as II is thought
that many bodies were consumed in
the flames.
Adjt Gen. Frank s. Dickson arrived
and took charge OF the situation. He
said troops would be distributed in
small groups throughout the city and
that they would be instructed to dis
perse every gathering OF persons for
any purpose whatever.

Pretty good fat lambs are selling on

sibly bring a little more. Prices on
ewes are holding aout steady with
pretty good kinds selling from $3.50 to

To hide herself from the eyes of

with her pet dog hiding in the base

venture the girl ran away again and
took up her abode in n cemetery.
She was discovered in this retreat,
and the home-finding department Of
the Juvenile court stepped in TO be-
friend her.

and yet it's principal function will
he actual offensive and defensive
fighting.
The machine was designed by
Charles K. Wittemann, one OF the
three members of the newly APP
pointed aviation committee He is
one of the Oldest aircraft builders
in the United States. For the past
eight years Wittemann has been de-
voting himself TO the development
of an aircraft that can be used for
actual offensive fighting. Already he
has made several successful flights
in his newest model machine.
In June, 1915, Wittemann appear
ed before the AeronauticaI Society
of America and announced his in
ventiOn Of the five-plane machine.
The idea was received with APP
prevail To the technical board of
the Aeronautical society il seemed,
50 the members of that select body
afterward expressed it, that the sue
cessOr Of the dirigibie airship OF
vast power at last had been created.
AerOnautical engineers and the
society's technical experts examined
the details with great care before
giving their approval to the new ma
chine. Since then Wittemann has
devoted all Of his time to perfecting
his invention.
For obvious reasons the details OF
the battle cruiser have not been
made public. The army and navy
experts have been made acquainted
with the craft Ii is claimed for the
new machine that il is so far supe-
rior 10 the zeppelin and other great
German fighting dirigibleS that il

speedier II can be built in quicker
time by many weeks. Its powers of
cost is but a fraction of that of the
great "gas-bag' airships.
Associated with Witteman in the
construction of the five-planes is
samuel c. Lewis. a qualified air pilot
holding the certificates both Of the
United States and France At the
beginning OF the European war
Lewis volunteered his services to the
entente. He participated in the or
ganization of the superb air fleet Of
the Belgo- Franco British armies
and trained many of the men who
have since become famous aviators.
The British, French and Russian
governments have all made over
lures 10 Wittemann. while the
United States authorities have eX-
pressed much interest, and for the
present at least hold the inside Of
the track in their dealings looking
to the exclusive acquisition Of this
most powerful fighting engine.
