Deputy Sheriff Tom Marks brought Dave Morris slayer of his step-fathcr and Mrs. A, Kellogg to Prescott last night. arriv- ing at 12:25, two hours and 40 min utcs after they left Mayer, the scene of the killing
 During the long ride, not sound escaped the lips of either Mrs. kcl- logg or her son. Morris replied in non-committal monosyllablcs to qucs- tions put to him by the officer.
 It was a strange ride. Both mother and son seemed impassivc, stoical They appeared not to have graspcd the full import of the deed.

 Morris is tall, gangling, but husky youth. His face, ordinarily not an expressive ono, was dull with misery as he submitted to the search. He spoke in an undcrtone, but his voice was steady. He appeared to be dazcd, with d horror at his act, which pro hibitcd emotion, and left him as im- passive as an Indian.

KELLOGG KILLED BY STEPSON
 AT MAYER
(From Saturdays Dsily)

MAYER, May lS.-With terse Now, you -, I'm going to kill you," Dave Morris, l9 years old emptied an automatic pistol into the body of his stepfather, Al. B. Kellogg. It was climax to what is believed to be drama of family disagreements. Kellogg died within three minutes, and in something less than that time, Morris was in custody.
 Half hundred people stood about the sidewalks at 2:40 o'clock this after noon, when the vicious rattle of the automatic broke the silence. Half a hundred persons moved rapidly from the vicinity of the front of Burr Mayors store, leaving Dave Morris standing over his dying step-father for the fraction of a second that elapsed before the boy sped away in flight.
 Kellogg was talking with his form CT partner in the cattle business, Chas. Hooker, Cougc Wilkins, local sheep man and another in front of the store. Morris had been at the Knapp hotel across the street with his mother, who arrived from Prescott during the morning. There was absolutely no warning. Morris strode across the street, and with brief curse. whipped the gun from his pocket and opened fire.
 Deputy Sheriff Tom Marks, here oh other business, was eating dinner in a nearby restaurant, when he heard the bark of the gun. He leaped from the front door in time to sec the death tablcau. He glimpscd the prostrate victim, the fleeing youth, and started in pursuit. Morris ran into pool hall, where Marks caught him. Once in the grip of the officer, Morris struggled for a moment, refusing to loose his hold on the now empty gun. but surrendered peaccably.
 Motive for the crime cannot be learned from anyone closely connect, cd with the family Mrs. Kellogg, wife of the dead man and mother of the slayer, and Morris himself, have refused to utter word in eXtcnua- ton or in explanation of the killing.
 Inquest is Held.
 Justice of the Peace ]. K. Jenkins held the inquest over the body of Al Kellogg at 10 o'clock tonight, and the jury found that deceased came to his death by reason of gun-shot wounds inflicted by Dave Morris.
 The inquest was postponed until late in the evening at the request of H. II. Linney, assistant county attor- ncy, who, with Sheriff J. r. Young came from Prescott tonight by auto mobile. The inquiry was brief. There were many cyc-witnesscs, and 1t didn't take long to set down the facts. Miss Kemp of the district attorneys office, took the testimony.
 The body of Kellogg was taken to Prescott tonight by Lester Ruffner for burial at time and place to be designated later.

Special Correspondence.

Specldl COrreSpOnOence
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, May l4-Cattle receipts of l3,0OO head sold at steady prices on an average, though steers were weak in spots, but there was evidence of need of cattle on all sides, top steers Sl260. Hog receipts were 1000, market 10 to IS higher, top Sl6.45. Sheep today 1000, uncvcnly higher, top lambs Sl9.35, un- heard of previously.
 Beef Cattle.
 The market would have ruled stronger today, but action of the gov ernment in restricting grain option trading had a weakening effect. How ever, killers need cattle, and buyers were all out in good season. Receipts included some near prime natives at Sl2O, real choice steers quotablc at SIS or better, some good pulp steers at SIPS to Sl250, and some good quarantine steers from Furncaux Bros, Trinity Mills, Texas, at S1l.40. These prices show an advance of g to so cents over sales of same cattle week ago. Plain native cattle with out much merit as killers sold at So.50 to Sl075. Fills were good today, some cattle showing gains over home weights. A train of California steers sold at SIPS, four loads of light steers out at S106O. Butcher cattle arc firm today, best COWS up to Sl075, bulls Sl025, Colorado pulp bulls S9.75, quarantine bulls SS9. Veal calves sold up to Sl325.
 Stockers and Feeders. Country buyers arc confident with respect to futures, and stockers and feeders arc firm at the highest prices yet paid, stock steers SS.25 to $l0.25, feeders around Sl0, a few fcshy feed CTS up to Sl1 or better. Stock cows and hcifcrs arc much wanted, and bring $.25 upwards. choice heifers around Sll.
 Hogs.
 Receipts ovcrran estimates today but buyers were keen competitors. sales 10 to Is higher Some weak ness developed, but the top, Sl6.45, was paid near the close, three or four loads at that figure. Medium weights bring up to Sl6.35 today, and lights Sl6.25. Apparently the buying side has no difficulty in moving the pro- duct at profit, and stands ready to take everything that comes at strong prices. Shipments from distant West crn points continue to be feature, two loads of California pigs today, among other shipments from inter mediate range States. Pigs bring Sl2.50 to Sl475.
 Sheep and Lambs. There was a wide variety in the supply today, ranging from choice Winter fed lambs, 66 pounds, at Sl935, downwards to New Mexico goats at 10 cents a pound, the latter to both killers and country buyers, record prices all along the route. Texas Fall clipped ycarlings, fed a few weeks in Kansas, sold at Sl4.40 and Sl475, clipped Western lambs worth up to Sl5.50, second grade wooded lambs today brought Sl8.55.
