MAN WHO KILLED
SAM HILDERBRAND
DIES IN CALIFORNIA

The following dispatch which APP
peared in the city papers last week
will call up many unpleasant mem
cries of bygone DAYS to many of the
older citizens of this and adjoining
counties as this and other sections of
Southeast Missouri were the sections
where most of Hilderbrand's depre-
dations were committed:
"Duquoin, ILL.,, Jan. 81 The
death of John L. Ragl9nd, pio-
neer resident of Duquoin, sew
eral days ago, at Los Angeles,
Cal, recalls the killing of Sam
Hilderbrand, an outlaw, who for
years terrorized Southern Hi
nois.
The encounter occurred at
Pinckneyville, Sept. 81, 1872.
Ragland was then a constable
and headed a posse which captur-
ed Hilderbrand. On the way to
Jail the prisoner drew knife and
slashed Ragland. The latter
shot Hilderbrand through the
head"
The editor of the Banner was well
acquainted with John L. Ragland, at
Benton, Illinois. After leaving Pinck-
NEVILLE, ILL.,, he located at Benton
where he was engaged in business for
number of years. If we remember
corrcctlv he served Franklin county
as deputy and sheriff.
In relating the episode of Hilder-
brands capture he said he was as
much surprised and probably more SC
than anybody else, on learning that
the man he had captured and killed
was the notorious sam Hilderbrand
that was hated and feared all over
Southeast Missouri.
Hilderbrand and others, who had
been committing depredations in
Pinckneyville, were located in the out
skirts of town and when complaint
was made Constable Ragland, with a
couple of deputies, went out and ar
rested the parties and started to jail
with them, when Hilderbrand made a
pass at Ragland with knife and sue
ceeded in cutting him on the thigh.
Ragland, who had to deal with many
hard characters that are always pres
ent in that country, was on the alert
and ended Hilderbrand's career with
well directed shot in the head. After
it was learned who Hilderbrand was
many pictures were taken and distrib-

SOME POSSIBLE WAR
DEFENSE INVENTIONS
Sensing. Self Directing Torpedo.

Sensing, Self-Dlrectlhg lorpeuo.
Pittsburg, Feb. 1O.-A torpedo with
ears and a brain, capable of travelling
40 knots an hour and adjusting itself
to meet all changes of course of an
enemy vessel, was demonstrated last
night before the Academy of Science
by Montreville M. Wood of Chicago.
This torpedo he declared to be now in
possession of the United States Gov
eminent. He claimed the torpedo
could "hear" a vessel approaching a
mile and half away and would then
shed its anchor and attack.
"The ears work on the same prin-
ciple as human ears" said DR.. Wood.
"The BRAIN that's my secret. No
vessel can get within ten miles Of our
coast without being detected. The in
strument is a development of the
detectaphone. The same principle
is used in the ears of the torpedo"
Wireless controlled and passenger
less aeroplanes are possibility and
a wireless controlled torpedo together
with means to combat it are ready
to be tested.

 Cattle received today were 39000 hoad, which, in connection with combined receipts at the five leading markets amounting to 12s,00 head, 10000 head more than on any day last fall, made a very weak feeling, sales mostly 25 lower. Hogs today 4O00, nothing choice, top $18.95, but choice hogs worth $500. Sheep and lambs today 14000. market slow and weak. receipts practically all feeders and breed CTS.
 Beef Cattle-Strictly prim e cattle are not affected by the outpouring of middle and low grade cattle today, and the quot tation of $17 or a little better still applies to top notch finished steers. Kansas grass beef steers range from $9. 50 to SIS in most cases, Oklahomas $7. 50 to $11. 50, Texas S1O to S11. 90, Northwest Nebraska $1O to SIP, Colorado $9 to SIPS, Idaho and Oregon $9 to S11.50, odd head recently SIP. 50. Utah $9 to $1O.5O. The entire range country is busy shipping, hence the extraordina- ry large supply offered today. Butcher grades sell at $6 to $10, veal calves up to SIS. .25.
 Stockers ane Feeders Ship ments out last week were 24OOO head. rather light in view of the run of 5000 cattle, prices firm at the start, but 25 to 40 lower at the finish. stock steers $6. .75 to $lO.50, feeders $8.75 to $11.5O, choice fieshy feeders up to $15. There is a good demand today, though prices are 10 to 25 lower.
 Hogs-The top paid today SIS. 95. was not the limit of the choice hogs being worth S19.00, medium weights $18.9O, lights $18.8 80. Receipts at all points are very light, but extra competition centers at Kansas City, keeping prices here a little above competing points, and higher than Chicago, much of the time. A feature here is the big trade in immune stock hogs, and the keen demand for pigs on the yards from own CTS of immunizing plants, such pigs selling out of first hands at S16 50 to SIPS. Good corn weather strengthens the demand for immune shoats, except from some dry parts of Texas, few pigs are being offered for sale.
 Sheep and Lambs The market is off a dollar per cwt since the of last week on lambs, not as much on breeding ewes. Some good feeding lambs sold at SIZE this morning, and some Arizonas were unsold at noon. held at SIPS, eve lambs $17. 50. Choice Western fat lambs are worth around $17.50. plain nati- yes today $16.90. A string of Montana breeding ewes. good sod this morning at $16, feeding ewes worth $10.50 to S12.00.
