NEW ORLEANS, June 2o.-After
advances of 1 to points. on the
more active months around the
opening today. cotton fell off un-
der selling, resulting from the stock
market failure Saturday, rather
higher private reports on condition
and liquidation preparatory to first
notice day for July, which is to-
morrow. Toward the end of the
first hour prices were 25 to 46
points under Saturdays close. July
sold up to 1886 and fell back to
27.44; October sold up to 24.S3 and
fell back to PAS. A private report
made the condition of the crop 1912
per cent of normal against 7O.9 a
month ago. Private reports last
week indicated a considerably great
er deterioration.
Liquidation of the July position
became heavier and some selling
was caused by the announcement
that the first Texas bale of the new
season had come to market. Prices
gradually sagged in the trading up
to II o'clock until they were so to
SIS points under the close of last
week with July off to 27.25 and

COTTON

NEW YORK. June 25.-The cot
ton market showed rather reac-
tionary tone after the sharp adj
vances of late last week. Liverpool
cabley were lower than due ana
weather conditions over the week
end were not considered unfavorable
on the average. These features pro-
noted re&Szing while there was
further liqyssaNi%Q of July, doubtless
in anticipation OF notices tomorrow.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of Is points on July with other
months unchanged to points lower.
The realizing sales were fairly well
taken and there was scattered buy
ing on bullish private crop reports,
but a rally from 1855 to 27.79 for
July was not fully maintained and
active months showed net losses OF
about to Is points during thA
earl ytrading. A report from Mem"
phis made the crop condition 70.2,
the increase in acreage rs per cent,
and the indicated yield 1O,919,0O0.
The failure of this mornings pri-
waite crop figures to further stimuli
late buying was evidently taken as
suggesting that an end-June yield
indication of around or under L.
100000 bales had been we'll dis
counted the markets present tech

while July remained under pres
sure of liquidation and active
months sold about 40 to 40 points
net lower around midday with July
touching 27.S1 and October 24.95.

SELBY FARMER PAYS
DEARLY FOR KILLING DOGS

Selhy, July 19.-P. J. Thorstensen
a ia ner residing two and one-half
miles west of Selby must pay 1854
for two bird dogs killed by his sons,
at his direction, on August 80, 1922.
This verdict was directed by Judge
Rottum, to- the jury, which was hear
ing the trial last Monday at Selby, the
jury adjudging the value of the dogs
which we're killed.
A. A. Brown of Mobridge was the at
torney for the plaintiffs, S. Cook and
"A. II. Schmidt, owners of the dogs,
w. M. Potts representing the defend
ant. According to the story told by
ThorstensI of the killing, the dogs
came to his farm on the morning of
August 30, 1922, and drank out of his
water tank, afterward chasing his
chickens. He caught the offenders
and noticed that they bore no license
tags, after which he chased them from
the place.
He stated they returned In about an
hour and trotted across the yard, and
he fearing they would modest the
chickens, told his BOYS to get the shot
gun and lombard them, which was
done, with the result that both dogs
were killed. The dogs were valuable
as dogs go. one a pointer originating
rom John Proctor" and the other a
setter coming from the line of the
great Jersey Prince"

CAR COLLIDES
With PASSENGER
May Walsh and Mrs. +. J. Nelson have
Narrow Escape When Car Hits
Train Saturday

Miss May Walsh, accompanied by
Mrs. e. J. Nelson, had a very narrow
escape from injury and possible death
when the Chevrolet coupe In which
they were riding collided with the east
bound passenger Saturday evening.
The accident occurred on the cross
ing a mile west of the city. Miss
Walsh and her companion were also
coming from the west, which fact
made it difficult to see the train, until
they turned the corner north to cross
the tracks. Being so close to the
crossing it was impossible for her to
bring the car to a dead stop, at a safe
distance from the train. The bumper.
was caught by the engine, pulling
the car sideways and smashing 1t into
the baggage car. The front of the car
was completely demolished, tie left
wheel being broken into bits and the
fender and running board ripped of.
Some damage was also done to the
engine. The body of the car was u
slightly damaged where 1t hit the bag
gage car. The impact Of the collision
was so violent as to tear a step from
the baggage car.
witnesses of the accident say that
the train whistled seven times before
coming to the crossing. The coupe
was the property Of County Auditor
p J. Walsh.
