DEADWOOD, B. D., March 22. (Special.)
The Penobscot Minim company hai ma 'la
another Rood strike In Its property at Malt
lanil. The new strike was made In a drift
driven from the bottom of the Realisation
shaft, at a distance of 350 feet to the west.
The ore Is too high grade to treat by th-s
cyanide prores, so arrangements have
been made with eastern smellers to handle
the ore. As soon as the roads are in con
dition the company will begin (ho shipment
of from twenty-five to thirty tons daily.
It Is said that the Northwestern Railroad
company will begin work on a branch road
from Deadwood gulch to Maitland In a few
weeks, and should this report be true tho
ore shipments of the Penobscot will be
greatly Increased. The ore In the new
strike will run all the way from $50 to $S0
a ton, and the shoot Is a wide one.
The Eclipse Mining company, the ground
of which Is located in Miller gulch, a short
distance east from Maitland, will resume
operations this week. Men will be put Jo
work sinking the shaft to the lower con
tact. The shaft Is now down 195 feet, and
was sunk that distance with a whim, but
while In the east tho superintendent mnde
arrangements for the Installation of a
steam ho!r,t, and It will he placed In oper
ation shortly, together with en air com
pressor plum. The company twns a large
acreage of land on Miller gulch, and has a
splendid showing of surface ores. All of Its
ground r.-as been patented, and the company
holds options on several valuable groups
of claims adjoining Its present holdings.
The Arcade .Mining company, the ground
of which adjoins the Eclipse on the north,
has been doing a great deal of work dur
ing the past winter, and like the Eclipse,
has been sinking to quartzite. When that
formation Is reached extensive lateral
workings will be started.
ttrlk.es ritnnolltlp Vein.
Tho Chicago syndicate which Is workt.ig
the Card ft Rosnkram ground on False
bottom, has struck the main phonollte vein
at a depth of 100 feet. The ore at this depth,
from a check assay,, shows values of $28 a
ton. The ore Is a phonolitlc schist stained
with fluorine, carrying considerable talo
and showing the values in white iron. At
tho present depth of the shaft there is so
much water coming Into the workings that
It will be Impossible to continue sinking
without putting In expensive pumping ma
chinery, and this the company does not
wish to do until It Is thoroughly convinced
cf the value of the ore and ita extent.
The rhaft of the Pluina Mining company
la now down BoO feet and work of sinking
has been discontinued. This wns the orig
inal depth to, which It was Intended that
tho worklsg Bhaft should bo sunk. Drift
ing has begun from the 600-foot level, and
a station established there. The main
ledge was broken Into at a distance of four
feet from the shaft ct thl3 point and drift
ing will be continued until the width of the
vein has been ascertained. Drifting con
tinues on the 3PO-foot level and a large re
serve of low grade ore has been created.
This drift' la being driven In the direction
of the Ha-wkeye shaft, with which It will
eventually, connect. The Pluma and Hawk
eye shafts- are GOO feet apart and both are
on the Pluma ground. Work of Improve
ment In tha, company's mill at Pluma has
been suspended and the .superintendent
lummoct, east by the board -of directors
to Investigate a new and novel'rhetBod for
reduction cf gold ores' and the extraction
of their values. The process Is a recent
invention and is said to eliminate the ne.
cesslty of machinery for the crushing of
tho ore. this work, so It Is claimed, being
accomplished by the aid of a powerful cur
rent of clcotricity. The Inventor claim
that his process will pulverize ore to. a
fineness of Si-mesh, after which It Is passed
over mercuiy coated plates much the same
as In a stamp mill. The assertions of tbo
Inventor are received with much skepti
cism by mining men here and Superintend
ent Flllon of the Pluma has gone east to
satisfy himself as to Us merits.
To Meet AkihIu In April.
The meeting of the stockholders of tho
Horseshoe Mining company at Beulah, Wyo.,
last Monday waa without results, so far as
perfecting a plan of reorganization was
concerned, and another meeting will be held
at the ssme place next month, when. It Is
believed, that the present management will
have some suggestions to offer the share
holders which will be acceptable to them.
Bull against the company has been brought
In the United States court and In the cir
cuit court for the Eighth Judicial circuit
of South Dakota by Maurice S. Llndholm
of Chicago for tho recovery of $3,750, al.
loged to have been obtained from him by
the compauy through fraudulent represen
tations. Mr. Llnholm purchased 6,000 shares
of the stock, paying , for It at the rate of
75 cents a share, and la now endeavoring
to regain the money so paid by him.
Through his attorneys Mr. Llndholm has
caused to be Issued a warrant of attach
ment and levied upon twenty-three of the
best claims owned by the company In the
Bald Mountain district.
The Black Hills Mining Men s association
met In monthly session on Thursday even
ing last and the secretary reported that
the aum of $3,000, expected from the cities
of Lead and Deadwood, had been paid In,
and that the subscriptions from the vari
ous mining companies and iudividuala, to
be applied to the entertainment of the
American mining congress, which will meet
In the cities ct Lead and Deadwood next
September, were coming In fast and more
than enough to meet all obligations would
be In the treasury long before the data of
holding the congress. The association also
las taken steps looking toward the making
of a creditable exhibit of the mineral re
sourcea of the Black Hills at the St. Louis
exposition next year. -The association, at
the request of Governor Herrled, named W.
8. Russell, a member of the organisation,
as one of the exposition commissioners for
the state. The report of the secretary
rshows the association to be In a good con
dition financially and Interest in Ita work
continually growing.
Will Have a Stamp Mill.
Hanschka and assoclatea, on the Hogan
& Anderson ground on Elk creek, have ex
tended the tunnel on the ledge for a dis
tance of 125 feet, and for the entire dis
tance It Is In ore which will average $15
Tf ton. Mr. Hanschka has about completed
arrangements for the erecllcn of a twenty-five-stamp
mill upon tbs ground, with a
cyanide annex. To property la looking
fine and the ore body maintaining its rich
ness and gaining In strength as work Is
' being done upon it. Little and associates,
in the same neighborhood, have their land
all surveyed and ready for patent, and a
treatment plant will probably be erected
upon It before the year is closed. Cuslck
& Christian have a large amount of work
under way on the Silver Dollar group of
claims and are getting out soma gnod ore.
The Lucky Strike company la also doing a
great deal of work and getting the great
eat of encouragement. This section of Elk
creek will be on of the liveliest In the
11111 this summer and the developments
i
now under way on all of the Kround there
promise great things.
KEYSTONE. 8. I)., Msrch 22 (Special.)
The Cuyshnca will soon Inaugurate ex
tensive developments upon Its property near
this csmp. For a number of years work
has been continued on the ground by a
small force of men, but recent develop
ments on the ore body have led the man
agement to continue these developments
on a larger scslo, so the work will be
stsrted ss soon as possible. The present
shaft will be sunk to a depth of 500 feet
and at various levels stations will be cut
and drifts run on the vein. There Is a
large ore body exposed In the workings
and at lesst 50 per cent of It will free mill,
while the other values may be saved either
by concentration or by cyanldlng. The
management Is now experimenting with
a view to determine the best method of
reduction to employ In the treatment of
the ore. Thf company is composed of Chi
cago and eastern men, and should the ex
periments on the ore now being conducted
give the management a line on the kind of
plant required for the treatment of (be ore
one will be erected this year.
Sew Machinery on Wheeler Hill.
CUSTER CITY, S. D., March 22. (Spe
cial.) The Castle Creek Mining company
is busy installing the new machinery on
the Wheeler Hill. A month or so ago the
company lost Its air compressor plant, Ita
engine and boilers and machine and black
smith shops by fire, and since that time
has not been doing much work on the
ground. The company has one of the best
free milling propositions In the southern
hills, and has expended many thousands
of dollars In development. The long work
ing tunnel which cuts the formation has
penetrated three separate and distinct
veins, one of them carrying free gold and
very high values, and It is expected that
tho tunnel Is now but a few feet distant
from the main ledge, j'ch In the early
drys of stamp milling In the southern hills
made the Wheeler bill famous aa a pro
ducer of rich ore. The tunnel will tap the
vein at a depth of at least 600 feet.
It Is reported that at a depth of 185 feet
another rich ore shoot has been struck In
tho Clara Belle mine. The new shoot is
said to be extensive and some of the ore
token from It Is literally alive with free
gold.
Virtue & Bowles, while doing develop
ment work on their ground east of Custer
City last week, uncovered a small vertical
of ore which carrlea very high values. This
Is believed to be the vein from which Al
Gay several years ago took some very rich
specimens, breaking them from the surface
outcrop. Gay left the spot, but failed to
take proper bearings, and when some years
later he wittt others attempted to find it
they could not do so. The find was known
to be In the vicinity of Charles Harbach's
ranch, and, although Gay, with several
others, put In one whole summer hunting
for It, thoy were never able to find .t
again. The specimens brought In by Virtue
& Bowles are very rich In free gold, and
they claim that the vertical has widened out
considerable with the little work which
they have put In on it.
F. H. Long & Co. have bought the old
Bullion mlno at Keystone, and will shin !
ore from it to their electro-cyanide plant
at Mystic. The ore from the Bullion is
said to be peculiarly adapted to treatment i
by the process adopted In the Mystic plant. '
The Bullion la a well-developed mine and !
contains a large body of ore carrying good
commercial values.

detectives who came here to locate seversl
persons connected with, the $1,000,000 In
surance frauds have completed their work.
.With the, aid of the local detective bureau
they found one of the indicted men in

to be him was burled In Calvary cemetery.
New York.
Clccone bad been living at 2508 First
avenue and since his supposed death, has
been kept in hiding In several different
places. He has been In this city about six
months. Tho insurance on his life was
paid. When insured Clccone was repre
sented as being 37 years old.
The detectives say be .has now signed a
statement, confessing that he was the sub
ject of the insurance and declaring that bo
received a money consideration for his part
In the swindle.
The prisoner is too feeble to remove to
New York and the detectives accordingly
carried back with them a doctor's certifi

six months longer.
DRIFTS ASHORE IN MIST
Schooner Wrecked on Cape Lookout
Owing t Impenetrable
Fog:.
PHILADELPHIA. March 22. On board
the schooner Edward T. Stotesbury, from
Brunswick, Ga., which arrived today, were
Captain Fales and his crew of nine men
of the schooner C. S. Glidden, which was
wrecked on the outer shoal of Cape Look
out on March 16. Glidden was bound from
Baltimore to Galveaton with a crj-go of
coal.
The schooner bad fair weather until Hear
ing Cape Lookout, when a thick haze set
In. For more than a day It drifted about
and finally struck the shoal . late on the
afternoon of March 16. From then until
10 o'clock that night the crew remained on
board with the seas breaking over the
decks. Fearing to stay aboard any longer
on account of the danger of being washed
overboard, the crew launched the lifeboat
and abandoned the vessel, taking with
them a signal torch.
At daybreak Stotesbury was sighted
through a rift In the mist. GUdden's boat
being small, could not be seen by those on
Stotesbury and the signal torch was
lighted. The crew of Stotesbury saw the
signal and immediately went to the rescue
of the men.

STOCK MARKET UNSETTLED
Union-Southern Pacifio GontroYersy One of
the Moving: Causes
FOREIGN TRADE MAKES G000 SHOWING
Outside of Stork Market the t'eneral
Conditions Are Satisfactory, with
Demand for Iron Hero
ine I p.
NEW YORK, March 22. (Special.) Henry
Clews, In his weekly market letter, says:
The stock market has bern unsettled by
a. series of conflicting influences. v hile an
easier monetary situation contiibuled
towards Improvement, the Southern-Ui'Icn
Pacific controversy produced a fe-ilng of
decided uneasiness that quite offset all
other favorable developments. As n. result
there was little If any Increase In public
buying of stocks, and the Investment de
mand Is of cnurse still held In check by
the comparative. y high rates of money and
the relatively small returns which good
securities bring at present high level prices.
The knowkuge also that heavy new se
curity Issues are pending for the Impera
tive purpose of enlarging terminal facilities
of the great trunk lln's, as well hs Increas
ing their general equipment, acted bs fi
damper upon the general market. Already
there is a surplus of securlMes hanging
over the mnrket, and the certain prospect
of a further big Increase Is anything but
a bull argument. Still another movement
exciting distrust is the speculation in cop
per and cotton, both of which are exceed
ingly high. A great deal of uncertainty Is
also fell over the Southern-Union Pacific
contest, which, as it Involves a struggle
for control, unpleasantly recalls the con
sequences of a similar contest In Northern
Pacific. While no m h consequences as fol
lowed that memorable occasion seem prob
able, still the possibilities of disturbance
discourage stock market activity, and the
outcome of the suits involving the rights
of one corporation hotdlng stuck In another
will be watched with particular concern.
Another suit of great Importance up for
active conylderntlon Is that o! t.'.e state of
Minnesota against the Northern Securities
company, and. since a whole scries of im
portant negotiations hang upon this oi.e
suit, it is easy to understand the slgnticnnce
attached to Its progress. With so many
serious contingency s to be faced, the mar
ket really showed surprising Ktrength and
resistance. Considerable of the buying,
however, wns on short account, and while
there was a somewhat better undertone re
sulting from recent llquldat on, the uncer
tainties above referred to effect ualiy chilled
all serious operations for the rise.
Foreign Trade Healthy.
Our foreign trade Just now Is In very
healthy condition, hist month being the
heaviest February on record in b)th Im
ports exporla. During the month there
was an increase ot fll.OoO.uw) In Imports,
chiefly due to our large takings of raw and
semi-manufactured materials which our
own mills and mines are unable to meet.
These large Imports are a distinct result of
high prlcer and trade activity on this side
of the Atlantic, and they promise to con
tinue until values recede and our own ca
pacity becomes able to satisfy our own
needs. Our exports during the same month
were 15,0uO,00O ahead of the same time last
year, the Increase here being chiefly due
to heavy shipments of cotton and corn.
This result Is exceedingly satisfactory, In
asmuch as thse articles furnish a good
supply of exchange when the latter Is most
wanted, thus materially strengthening our
financial status abroad.
The local money market has shown slight
improvement. This was due partly to di
minished drains by the treasury, partly to
the currency movement being less unfavor
able, but chiefly to a transfer of our de
mands upon foreign markets. As a result
the latter are slightly firmer, while rates
here are somewhat easier. There is less
apprehension abroad now concerning the
situation in New York, the liquidation of
the last few months having done much to
restore confidence In, our finances, and, as
funds are plentiful In Berlin, Paris and
London, there Is every probability that we
will be able to command all the accommo
dation that may be required for perfectly
legitimate operations. Any outbreak of
speculation on an- extensive or reckless
jcale would, however, materially weaken
our credit In Europe. At present foreign
bankers are probably-obtaining better rates
on American loann.samdV this would appear
to explain the delay in placing the Trans
vaal and other govpnment loans, which
are probably awaiting easier conditions.
General Situation Satisfactory.
Outside of the stock market the situation
continues generally -satisfactory, the only
exception being the prospect of further
labor troubles. . which are already Increas
ing the costs of production to a point that
is checking new enterprises. Railroad earn
ings continue large and the iron trade boom
shows no signs of cessation. The phenome
nal demand for Iron is one of the wonders
of the age, and Is to be attributed to Its
Introduction into many new fields of use
fulness, as well as the enormous consump
tion for structural purposes in buildings,
railroads etc. The demand on the latter
account is sure to continue for some time
to come, and both Germany and Kngland
are being urgently called upon to satlfy our
requirements, notwithstanding the tariff.
The Immediate future of the market is,
as already stated, exceedingly uncertain.
Natural conditions should favor some Im
provement as soon as the stringency Inci
dental to April 1 Is passed, but the serious
contingencies referred to above, especially
the danger of awkward complications aris
ing from the Southern-Union Pacific quar
rel, emphasize the necessity for caution in
speculative operations. Although, in some
respects, the market Is In much better
shape than for several months, we should
advise taking profits on all sharp rallies,
at least until the differences between
Messrs. Keene and Harriman are adjusted.
The interests represented by these gentle
men may however, settle the dispute when
least expected; hence the high degree of
uncertainty.
Forelsjn Financial.
. LONDON, March 22. The dealings In
Americans and Canadian i'acltics were the
Bole redeeming feature In last week's stock
market. T here were flurries here ajid there
during the week, ther news of the Uruguay
tun revolution, for Instance, causing tem
porary excitement, but otherwise the whole
lists have been lifeless and there Is little
hope of Improvement before Kaster. The
public Is disinclined to speculate or Invest
before the budget statement Is Issued, while
money Is scarce, and until the outlook In
Venezuela becomes clear. '1 he Southern
Pacific railroad struggle Is watched with
Interest on this side and has created a cer
tain degree of nervousness. Consols remain
at low water mark. Home rails are flabby
and even Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's
speeches have failed to have any favorable
effect on the South African market.
BERLIN. Marcli 12. Th-'re were Indica
tions cf regained confidence in the New
York situation among the operators on the
bourse last week. Thd reports received here
that the Harriman und Keene Interests had
buried the hatclret had a marked effect in
aliaving the uneasiness regarding the flurry
on Wall street. The American demand for
money la also diminishing and llitle was
heard last week about borrowings for New
York. The main features of the Berlin
atock market were the strength of in
dustrials and the weakness of domestic and
foreign loans. Home of the foreign rentes
of high denominations remained In good
demand. Among Industrials, iron shares
were particularly firm, rising on un average
of 3'4 points. The reports regarding the
Iron trade continue favorable and further
advances In prices are announced. The
rolling mills In the Rhine-West Phallan
district report a heavy Increase In the
home demand and they have ordered cur
tailment of the sales of blooms, billets, etc.,
abroad. The Koelnische Zeitung reports
that the uncovered home demand for half
rolled goods for the June quarter amounts
to from Ni.imu to ll.tn tons. Coal shares
made a further advance, but barely a
moderate one in view of the indications
that the production was exceeding the con
sumption. KlectricaU were weak and octan
transportations declined upon the failure
of' the North German I loyd to pay a divi
dend. Money remained abundant. Loans
for the carry-over commands 4 per cent.
Kates are expected to become easier in
April. .
Dry Goods Slarket.
MANCHESTER. March 22.-DRY GOODS
eBusiness on the clolh market last week
was particularly Inactive. None of the
outlets abroad appear disposed to purchase
on the normal scale under the present con
ditions. The offers of India and China
were far below acceptance, while the busi
ness for the eastern markets waa unsatis
factory. Ther were some sales of brocades
for the United States and of miscellaneous
and fancy goods for the home trade.
Transactions In yarns were slow and the
turnover far be.ow the average.

SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS
U'4.T. Hnrkcll egslnst Read. Appeal from
Mcpherson. Moilnied and aflirnied Pound,
C. Division No. 2.
t Where s written contract requires cx
trlnsie evidence to explain Its terms ihe in
terpretation to t given In view of such
tvloence is a question of fact.
2. As a general rule the right to vote
plei!gd shar?x of stock remains In he
plidgnr iinlll foreclosure.
3 The officers ot tho corporation in con
ducting an election will not look behind
the books of the corporation which show
who are registered as stockholders; but a
court of equity may do so and may enjoin
a pledgee trom voting the shares pledged 111
prejudice of the light of the pledgor.
4. A stockholder may maintain n suit to
enjoin the holder of shares Issued in excce..
of the amount authorised by the articles of
Incorporation, and without consideration,
from voting such shares in prejudice of hU
rights and to procure cancellation thereof.
6. Whatever might be tne rule as to a
bonaflde purchaser of or subscriber for such
an over-issue of shnree, one who procures
the over-issue wuhout consideration by
false representations will not lie heard to
assert that a stockholder who voted there
for relying on such representations Is es
topped to question the validity of the
shares.
6. It seems that In this state e stock
holder mav maintain a suit in equity to try
the validity of an election if officers and
directors of a private corporation anil de
termine whether persons claiming to be
such ure entitled to act In that capa-'lty.
7. In anv event the court may Inquire Into
the validity of the election and puns upon
the title to corporate otlices when necessary
to do complete Justice In a suit of which It
hue Jurisdiction on other grounds.
s. Where a corporation 1ms a fixed cap
ital stock divided Into a definite number of
shares a majority of all the shares Is
necessary to a valid election In the ab
sence of some rule to the contrary.
9. It is not necessary that a stockholder
shall have paid for his stock In full to en
able him to vote all his shares at an elec
tion. 12475. Harker against Burbank. Error
from Burt. Affirmed. Ames, C Division
No. 3.
1. Under the provisions of section 29 of
the Code of Civil Procedure, a Joint obligee
In an anneal bond may maintain an action
thereon in his own name without Joining
the other joint obligee, where he alleges
and proves that he has purchased the In
terest of his Joint obligee, Is the owner of
the bond and the real party In Interest
therein.
2. Where such an allegation Is contained
In the petition and is denied by the answer
the plaintiff must prove the facts so alleged
by some competent evidence and falling to
do so he ennnit maintain ihe action.
3. In such a case plaintiff having intro
duced all of his evidence without proving
such allegations, It Is not error lor the
court to direct a verdict for defendants.
4. The propriety of allowing the plaintiff
under such circumstances to withdraw a
Juror and continue the case In order to ob
tain further testimony Is a matter renting
In the sound discretion of the court. Violet
v. Rose, 39 Neb., 6il.
5. The record of the trial court examined
and held that the court was not guilty of
an abuse of discretion In refusing such a
request.
12564. "Ritchey agalrit Seeley. Error from
Cass. Reversed. Duffle, C. Division No. 3.
1. The testimony of an attorney who pre
pared an answet- Is competent to enow that
by Inadvertence and mistake he used the
name of one party to the action while In
tending to name another party.
2. On the foreclosure of a mortgage a de
ficiency Judgment was entered against R
and (3, the mortgagors. The Judgment
creditor thereafter brought an ' action to
subject a farm conveyed by R to his son to
the payment of this Judgment. The con
veyance was made some two years prior to
the entry of the deficiency Judgment. Prior
to the foreclosure proceedings R had con
veyed to C his Interest In the mortgaged
premises ana u naa assumeu anu agreeu
to pay the mortgage. R testified that he
had no knowledge of the foreclosure pro
ceedings and offered to show that 'at the
time he made the conveyance to his son he
understood that G was alone liable for the
mortgage debt. Held, that R's understand
ing was Immaterial and Incompetent, but
that It would be competent and material
to show that a solvent and responsible
party had assumed the mortgage debt on
which the deficiency judgment was en
tered, as bearing on the question of the
character of the conveyance by R to his
son and whether fraudulent or not, but that
the offer did not go far enough in not pro
posing to show that G was solvent and able
to meet any deficiency that might arise
after exhausting the mortgage security.
1ZV72. Parker against Slate. Error from
Boyd. . Affirmed. Sullivan, C. J.
1. Tho credibility of witnesses and the
probative value of their testimony are
matters which It Is the peculiar function of
the Jury to determine.
t. A verdict based upon substantially con
flicting evidence will not be set aside by
this court.
3. An appeal tor conviction based alto
gether upon the evidence, however fervent
it may be, la .lot an abuse ot the privilege
of advocacy.
4. Ordinarily a party who did not promptly
object to an argument alleged as miscon
duct will be held to have waived hia right
to complain.
5. But where the misconduct of counsel Is
so flagrant and of such a character that
neither a complete retraction nor any ad
monition or rebuke from the court can en
tirely destroy Its sinister Influence, a new
trial should be awarded, regardless of the
want of an objection and exception. C, B.
& Q. R. Co. v. Kellogg, 65 Net., 74S.
6. A person who has been found guilty of
shooting with intent to kill cannot found a
valid claim to Judicial leniency upon his
Inferior marksmanship.
12997. Keating against State. Error from
Webster. Affirmed. Holcomb, J.
1. The trial court gave an 'nt ruction of
general application regarding the credi
bility of the witnesses who had testified in
the case. Including the defendant who was
accused of a felony, and of the weight to
be attached to the testimony of the sev
eral witnesses which announced a correct
rule of law. At the request of the state the
jury was also Instructed that the defendant
naa a rigm lo De sworn ana lesmy on nis
own behalf, but that in weighing his testi
mony and In determining the weight which
should be given thereto .the Jury might
take Into consideration his Interest In the
result of the trial and the further fact If
the same waa proven (wl lch was admitted
by the defendant) that he had been con
victed ot a felony as affecting his credi
bility as a witness. Held, tnat the latter
Instruction was not prejudicially erroneous
because of the repetition of the matter con
tained in the general Instruction on the
subject nor under the circumstances was It
erroneous because the defendant was In
dividually named and his testimony alone
alluded to In the latter Instruction.
2. By virtue of the statute a prior con
viction of a felony may be proven for the
nuruose of affecting the credibility of a
witness and the court may properly instruct
the Jury as to the purpose or sucn evidence.
3. The accused was charged and tried for
robbery. Held, his prior statements as to
how the robbery might be coramlted was
properly admissible in evidence to be con
sidered by the Jury with other facts and
circumstances proven In determining the
question of guilt or Innocence.
4. Evidence examined and found sufficient
to support a verdict of guilty as found by
the Jury.

l'Uoti. New Omaha Thomson-Houston
Electric Light Company against. Rombold.
Error from Douglas. Aftirmed. Hastings,
C. Division No. 1.
1. Where evidence tended to show that a
lineman of an electric lighting company
was injured by inadvertently passing be
tween a pair of exposed splices altuated
within two feet of a post, on wires carry
ing a strong vurrent of electricity, and that
the lack of limulullon had continued during
time of lineman's employment, held not
error to tell the Jury that failure to make
reasonable effort to provide a safe worklnif
place for the employe and consequent neg
ligence, might be Inferred from the mire
fct that the splices were not Insulated, if
the Jury found that reasonable care would
have required their Insulation.
i. Held that whether or not due care on
the lineman's part required that he see an 1
avoid contact with the exposed spikes was
prorly left to the Jury.
3. The evidence showing that no Inspec
tors were employed and that the lineman
was Instructed to repair or report defects
of Insulation observed by him, th) question
as to whether or not he had assumed the
risk from this defect of Insulation was
properly left to the Jury.

CA r'1'L.E There were a few bunches of
cattle In the yards this morning, but
scarcely enough with which to make a test
of the market. For the week receipts havo
been about the same as last week, but as
compared with the corresponding week of
last year there is an increase of about
4,000 bead.
A good Dortlon of the offerings all the
week have consisted of beef steers, but the
demand has been fully equal to tne occa
sion and the market has ruled active and
steady to strong on most days. Aa com
pared with the close of last week prices
show an advance amounting to Just about
KKgl5c. The greatest Improvement has been
on handy weight cattle of fair to good
quality. The choice heavy cattle do not
seem to be much higher than they were a
week ago but still they were the best cattle
that have been here In a long time. The
bulk of the steers now coming forward are
selling from 34.25 to 34.50, with the choicer
grades selling largely from 84.60 to $5.00.
The cow market has also been In good
shape during the week, and prices have
improved fully as much as on steers. Aa
compared with the close of last week prices
on desirable grades may be quoted 15U20c
higher. Cannera are selling largely from
32.00 to $2.70, fair to good cowb from $2.75
to 33.50, and the choicer grades from $3.60
to $400, with a few sales above $4.00.
Bulls have sold to a little better ad
vantage this week than they did last, but
veal calves have not shown much change.
Choice veals are selling from $6.00 to $6.50.
The demand for Blockers and feeders of
good quality has been brisk all the week
und prices have held fully steady. In some
places the market seems to be a little
higher. Warmed-up cornfeds are now sell
ing to both feeder buyers and packers, but
the cattle have to show considerable qual
ity In order to sell for feeders. There Is
very little demand for common atockers
and feeders of any weight, so that that
class of cattle are selling mostly from
$3 00 to $3.50; fair to good, $3.5u-j4.00, and
good to choice from $4.00 to $4.60. Repre

HOOS There was a very light run of
hogs here today even for a Saturday and
the market opened a nickel higher. Pack
ers, though, were very Blow to pay the ad
vance and as a result the market closed
slow and weak, the last sales being scarcely
more than steady with yesterday. Oood
heavy hogs sold mostly from $7.36 to $7.40
and as high as $7.45 was paid. The medium
weights went from $7.30 to $7.35 and the
light stuff from $7.30 down. The light re
ceipts soon brought the market to a close,
even though trading was slow.
For. the week the receipts have been very
light, as there Is a big decrease, both aa
compared with last week and with the cor
responding week of last year. The demand,
on the other hand, has been brisk, so that
the tendency of prices has been upward.
As compared with the close of last week
there Is a net gain of about 510c, which
carries the market to the high point of the

SHEEP There were several cars of sheeD
and lambs In the yards this morning, but
quite a few of them were consigned direct
to local packers. Those that were offered
on the market sold readily at good steady
prices. Western ewes brought $5.50 and
wistern lambs of fair quality $6.50. For
the week receipts have been very liberal,
as there Is a good increase both over last
week and also over the corresponding week
ot last year. The demand, however, has
been fully equal to the occasion, so that
the market has been in very satisfactory
condition. As compared with the close of
last week It Is safe to quote both sheep
und lambs fully lun-iMc higher, which car
ries the market to the high point of the
HCHSotl.
The demand for feeders has been fjlly
equal to Ihe supply all the week and prices
may be quoted fully steady.
