CATTLE SHORT
IN CALIFORNIA

Receipts of cattle at Chicago during
the past week decreased materially,
with very slight decrease in price.
Receipts of cattle in San Francisco
showed a considerable decrease, with
"a steady price and strong demand. A
strong demand still exists for all
classes of stock, says the weekly let
ter of. the California Cattlemen's As
lsociation.
Stock and feeder cattle are exceed
iingly short in California, and Nevada
reports that practically all available
stock has either been sold or is now
on feed in that state.
Information received from the mid
die west is to the effect that there are
probably 10 per cent less cattle on
feed in that section than normally,
but indications are that more cattle
/ will be put on feed and that consid-
cradle number have stopped en- route
for feeding at points a little furthel
west. The middle west seems to show
considerable decrease in the number
/ of sheep on hand and being fed. In
formation from the northwest is to
the effect that there is considerable
supply of Canadian cattle being fed,
but the total number on feed at the
present time is about normal and not
in excess of last year.
Sales are reported about the same
as last week, being 6lac in the valleys
of California, with the bulk of sales
at SAC in the northern and eastern
part of the state. Some few sales are
reported for higher figures. San
Francisco buyers are contracting in
Nevada for Gee f. o. b. cars for de-
livery in March and April.
Don't forget the annual meeting or
December 10. In order to insure the
round trip of fare and half, b.

An epoch-making event will tran

the official hearing on the develop

river, with particular reference to the
Boulder canyon dam project, will take
place before A. B. Fall, secretary of

will supply that one marked necessity

Andrew Wise, Proprietor of
Billiard Parlor, Fatally
Wounds Man Accused of
Being Found in His Home

John Talbot, a we'll known young
man about town, was shot and per-
haps fatally wounded shortly after
noon today by Andrew Wise, the pro-
prietor Of the Waldorf billiard parlor
and soft drink stand.
The shooting took place on the
north side of Main street, between
Fifth and Sixth streets, in the heart
OF the business section of the town.
Five shots We're fired at Talbot by
Wise, at least three of them taking eff
feet, making five wounds in his
body. One bullet passed through his
right arm below the shoulder An
body below and to the right of the
stomach, puncturing the liver, and the
third shot penetrated the abdomen.
The shooting took place while the
street was crowded with business men
clerks and others hurrying toward
homes or restaurants for their lun-
cheon, and created the greatest excite
ment.
The wounded man was rushed to the
Ell Centro hospital, where he is under
the care of DR.. L. c. House His
chances of recovery are small accord
ing to the surgeon. Wise was arrested
and lodged in the county Jail, charged
with assault with deadly weapon
with intent to kill. In the event of
the death of Talbot this charge will
be changed to murder.
The shooting is the elimination OF
a spirit of bad feeling between the
men, which started with the marriage
of Wise some two years ago. Talbot
was a suitor for the hand of the now
Mrs. Wise, but Wise won out.
A few months ago Mr.. and Mrs
Wise separated and lived apart for
some time, but on Thanksgiving Day
they became reconciled and went to
living together in an apartment at the
Mission on North Sixth street.
Thursday, according to the police
Wise found his wife absent from her
place of work and goin gto his home
found Talbot there in company with
Mrs. Wise. He threatened at that
time to kill him, it is said, and warn
ed him that he intended to shoot him
on sight.
Shortly after noon today Talbot
was mounted on bootblack stand in
the middle of the block getting his
shoes shined. Wise came by and spot
ting him drew a pistol and commenced
firing, emptying his weapon at Tai
