A Mysterious Murder at Yuma


 One of the most cold blooded and mystifying murders that has ever come to light in Yuma was uncovered Saturday, when two Mexicans dis covered the mutilated body of Mrs. Mary Parker, we'll known negro woman, in thicket of willow bushes within 50 feet of the banks of the Colorado river. The body was crum- pied up in the sand, entirely nude save for stockings, the hands tied to- gether with strips of clothing that had evidently been torn from her body, and two ghastly wounds on the head. The only article near the body was a small empty purse. Shreds of the woman's clothing were in evid- ence, but nowhere could her dress, skirts or shoes be found.

Burglars at Mesa carried off the Union Oil Co. safe, taking it to the stock yards where they broke it open and found S5 cents in it. It is not al ways profitable to rob an oil company for they may raise the price on you. Anyhow, no one but fool burglar would carry off safe that size, it takes big one to hold any of their loot.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, March 19, 1917.-Embargoes on live stock shipments held receipts down today, though there was fair run of cattle here $500 head. The market was strong to 15 higher, best steers here fattened on beef pulp, selling at $11.- 75, record price for that class of cattle. Hogs today 4000, market 15 higher at the start, top $15. Sheep and lambs sold 10 to 15 higher, re- ceipts $500, top lambs $14.80.
 No Price Limit on Beef Cattle
 The price limit on prime steers has not been determined here recently, but it is somewhere around $12.50 for the right kind Medium kinds at $10.25 to $11.25, and steers brought S10 today to killers very little better than stock cattle. Pulp steers made new high records today at $11.75, weights 1234 lbs. drove of 66 head bringing that price, with other sales of that class at S10.85 to $11.65, and some plain and rough pulp steers at $9.65 to S10.35. Two cars pulp fed bulls sold at s9.10 today, 1511 lbs. average. One car of Oklahoma steers and heifers sold in the quarantine division today at $10.35, 629 lbs ave, a record price for that class. Cows, heifers and bulls were strong today, veal calves 25 higher, up to SIP.
 Stockers and Feeders Higher
 Prices. ruled 10 to 15 higher first half of last week, but after the strike began to look threatening demand fell off, and the close was quarter lower. Demand is back to normal to- day, and the market is as high as Wednesday of last week, stock steers up to $10 today, feeders $10.50. Kill CTS bid on all feshy feeders, and country buyers have paid up to $10.70 in the last week.
 Market Short of Hogs
 Early prices were highest today, sales up to s15, bulk of sales $14.40 to s14.90. Railroad embargoes inter ruted shipping orders, and fewer hogs went to order buyers today as a result. Receipts are not sufficient for the needs of killers, and packers here are shipping in a great many hogs bought at Omaha, Sioux City and Ft worthS The general belief is that the market will work higher, though not as rapidly as in the last few weeks.
 Sheep and Lambs Stay Up
 After some depression on lambs middle of last week the market has recovered, sales 10 to 15 higher today, and the top only 5 cents under ex- treme top of the season, reached first of last week. The good lambs sold at STATS and $14.80 today, some fair to good lambs around $14.50, and heavy lambs worth around $1425. Prime ewes are worth $12.25, some Mexican wethers at SIP today, 70 lbs. average. Feeding lambs sell at $13.25 to $14, shearing lambs slightly more.

PRESCOTT HOME GUARD DRILLS

The Home Guard held an enthusiast tic and excellent drill practice last night in the court house square after which they marched to the post office. Seven full squads of 56 men were present with seven officers making a total of 63. The following officers were appointed: T. c. McRae, Jr., Adjutant; c. H. Mccullough, Captain; Byron Moody, First Lieutenant; Mar tin Guthrie, Second Lieutenant; J. E. Barham, Quarter Master Sargent; J. E. Barhom, Quarter Master Sargent; Luther Willingham, First Sargent; Dexter Bush, Second Sargent; J. R. Hamilton, Third Sargent. The Corp orals will be chosen from those show ing most progress.
 Drill was very good considering the large number who had never had any experience, and it is predicted that an excellent Company will be formed, judging from the entheusiasm dis played. The next drill night will be next Monday at 7:30 sharp, and it is hoped that as many members as pos sible will be present.
 In regard to the wooden guns; it will not be necessary that you bring them with you at the next meeting; we find that we can obtain wooden guns for S100 each, regulation size, with straps, and this matter will be voted on Monday night.
 The secretary and treasurer report that there is a total of BIO members enrolled in the Home Guard with only -140.00 in the treasury,which shows that there are a number of members who have not paid their dues, $46.00 being due yet. We respectfully ask that all who have signed, please call at the First State Bank at once and hand in your 60 cents, the rules of the Association require it and the money will be needed. T. c. McRae Jr., Ad- jutant, Co., A., P. H. c.
