One Man Dead and Much Con-
traband Is Captured.

Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. 11.-One
man is dead, three in custody and $50
grains of cocaine and fifty quarts of
bonded whisky were confiscated as
the elimination of a spectacular raid
by Federal Narcotic Agent Berefnack
and City Narcotic Officer Jack Riley
on the home of Special County Police
man w. A. Master, late Friday night.
Master had been walking his beat
in company with a fellow officer and
upon calling his home on the tele-
phone, learned of the raid. Master is
said by his fellow officer to have then
left him, announcing that he was go
ing to a telephone to surrender. A
moment later a shot was heard and
Master was found dead with a bullet
wound in his body.
One of the three held by the author-s
tiles is also a special county police
man. The narcotic sleuths are said to
have been tracing for several weeks
the source of narcotic supply in this
city and to have followed suspects to
and from Juarez, Mexico, opposite Ell

tied eonSumptiye demand.
BEEE-Liberal offerings of steer beef
consisted largely of medium and common
grades. netting from SII to S14. Prices
within this range fluctuated considerably
during the week Demand was very slow
and buyers were hard to interest Lower
ing prices offered little inducement as con-
sumptive demand had reached such low
mark as to warn butchers to keep their
were scarce and the few available were
generally strong to heavyweights- Prices
declined from soc to 81 90 on in-between
grades, with no change in either the top
of choice or the bottom of common grades
The cow supply included good spercen1-
age of desirable butcher cows with good
assortments for the larger chain markets
Prices on all grades of cows show no
change from week ago Cuts of all kinds
were slow sellers especially ribs and loins
7 boning demand for COW rounds assisted
materially in sustaining general prices on
cows The Eight offerings of bologna bulls
met with similar demand and prices are
about 25c lower than n week ago. Prices
on Kosher beef are generally S1.00 lower
and demand only fair.
VEAL-Demand was fully ample to keep
offerings which were sometimes fairly lib
good, with a small percentage of real com
mon calves. County, dressed veal of good
quality contributed freely to the supplies
Prices are fully steady with last week
closing
LAMB-High prices on the live lamb
market have forced dressed costs to higher
levels. Supplies We're liberal, but demand
only fair, with buyers fighting hard for
lower prices However, no changes in
prices were noticeable from last week S
closing.
MUTTON-The moderate offerings of
mutton met with demand sufficient to hold
prices generally STEADY with those of a
week ago and $100 advance is shown on
! some in-between kinds. Heavy ewes and
bucks cleared fairly we'll.
PORK-With holdings from last week
cleaned up and fresh receipts moderate,
prices took an upward course during the
week and material advances were made.
Higher temperatures and sellers anxiety
to clean up well caused weakness in prices

Her NECK IS TOUGH
Cannibal Chief Tells of Difficult
Part of Woman.
Hard to Eat Because She Uses
1t SO Much.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE back of
a woman's neck is the toughest part
of the human body, says Frederick
O'Br:en, author of white Shadows in
the South Seas" writing on 1.-THE Lure
of the South Seas in the February
Mentor Magazine. O'Brien obtained
this information from a gentlemanly
cannibal chief, who was his neighbor
in the Marquesas Islands. This ka-
huiti-as the chief was named-is no
longer a cannibal, but in his youth he
had eaten human flesh. Il learned
later that he was an avowed bach
elor," says O'Brien. land it may have
been his grim joke. for he told me
that a woman's neck became tough
because she was always turning it to
look around and about"
The author of white Shadows
returned recently from another trip to
the South Seas. He took a camera
man with him and many of the pic
lures they made are reproduced in
The Mentor.
DR.. Malcolm Brown, a New York
physician and admirer of O'Brien's
books, lived with O'Brien at Savau,
Samoa. a part of the island least
touched by civilization. Brown was
so enamored of Polynesian life that
he remained in Savaii. The doctor
and the author were honored resi-
dents of the village, taking part in
all the native festivities and cere-
monies.
There are islands in the South Seas
where conditions are primitive enough
to suit the most ardent devOtee of the
simple life. O'Brien says. Lack of
transportation has saved these from
panied civilization elsewhere in Poly
ueSia
