On August 1 lie appeared In Los Angelea,
t the home of his brother, M. Q. Mc
Koon, very much worn, weakened and
emaciated, but ab'.a to dictate a story of
his experiences that outrivals the most
sensational detective stories. He will re
main In Los Angeles until he ts fit to travel,
when he will return home to New York.
The New York police ridicule the kid
naping Idea," but their theory la not sup
ported by fhe fact that Mr. McKoon
mailed copies of the third threatening let

flve years, also dealing In real eatate. On
week prior to July t he received a letter
direotlng him to meet the writer at Peart
tract, southwest corner Whitehall, and
to bring five 11,000 bills. The communica
tion said this course wou!d save serloua
trouble, and waa algned "Your Enemy."
Tha letter waa read and destroyed. On
July 8 a second letter waa received, re
ferring to the first and adding that If I5.CO0

would regret It. This was signed "Your
Frtond the- Enemy,", and also waa. de
stroyed. On July the third letter, copies
of which were made, was received. It en

Weat sn Business Appointment.
McKoon made no (.(fort to comply with
the directions.. On July 16, he says, while
ailing an appointment at 120 Broadway at
11 o'clock, he was accosted by a man who
eemed to know him and who said he had
a customer for a large tract of ground
which McKoon had for aale. McKoon waa
busy at tha time, but made an appoint
ment with the man .'or 1:46 at Park Place
and Broadway, which he kept. -
He met the first mad there in company
with two others. They. Immediately gath

hack. The hack was driven uptown and
McKoon escorted to tha fourth floor ot a
solid brick building. Hla pockets were

McKoon states that he waa ordered . to
write a letter to hla son, direotlng him
to pay the $5,000 at a certain time and
place, and that he did ao, seeing tha letter
mailed through hla window. He aent other
letters to friends, also, by the same er
rand boy. He saw no 'more of hla captors
until the next day, Saturday, at 1 o'clock.
when they appeared and asked him whether

made to embark In a sailboat which waa
hauled down the river, through the nar

McKoon saved waa one of hla . captors.

Thereupon he grew somewhat confidential

whose objoct, presumably,' waa to extort
money from rich men. The kidnaper
spoke of many men whom MoKoon knew
and said further that they had "picked up
many of them the soma aa they had him."
The captive waa advised that attempts to

and new annoyances, as the kidnaping

CHICAGO MAN GETS SURPRISE
Discovers that Omaha la Not go glow
a no Imagined It
to Be.
August Kiel Is from Chicago. He said
ao last night when taken to the police sta
tion. He sold many other things besides,
but the main point of his story centered
around a dusky maiden and the loss of two
plunks. Kiel, It aenms, had a supercilious
aort of contempt for this city. It waa
ao unlike Chicago, where, everything Is
a couple of degree better than O. K. and
where a man can live without the fear
of death from ennui. Life In the respect
able part of the city was too tame for this
youth of the blase countenance, so he
took a walk around the can rushing dis
trict and compared the maidens of hla
city with those In this. Sallle Cottrell of
117H North Eleventh street, noted the angle
of his nose and the curl of his Up and in
vited the young man to view her dance.
They danced far better In Chicago uf
course, but better some than none, and he
agreed to pay a quarter for the perform
ance ' .
A piano struck up a tune associated with
the "The Streets of Cairo" spectacle, the
maiden flitted through all the complicated
movements of an oriental fantasy, and the
young man thought of the dances In Chi
cago. He rose at the end, and. with a
sigh of relief, put his hands In his pocket
In a tired sor' of way to fetch out the
quarter. His movementa became auddenly
hurried, hla breath came in"short, quick
gaps and his face paled as the dawn of
Understanding struck his Chicago brain.
For he had been touched. He of Chicago
touched by a colored maiden In a blnnkety
one-horse town to the sum of $2. It was
too horrible, but he was forced to admit
that the act could not have been done
neater even In Chicago. ,Thev Cottrell wo
man and her roommate Ruby Manuel,
were arrested, the former on the charge
of petit larceny and the latter as a va
grant. And' the man from Chicago he also
waa forced to pass through the doors, held
aa complaining witness.

OMAHA, Aug. (, 1304.
Wheat lias rearhed a decidedly high price
In the markets of the world and It begins
to show some hesitation, speculators being
ready for rapid changes either way ana
for fluctuations gather heavier than gen
erally seen In this cereal. The advance has
confirmed the opinion of the prophets of
short crops and foreign demand, but the
different bull lntereste that have been re
sponsible, with weather and nature. In
advancing wheat points In tea days
snd Sue from the low point of the Sep
tember future, exhibit a little uncertainty
as to the future. The stories from the
Dnkntaa and Minnesota continue enter
tainingly and emphatically ot red and black
rust and crop nliortness, but the advance
haa allowed for much of this and there
are those who look for reaotlons, but every
decline will bring buying orders. Minne
apolis doesn't stand under moderate Wheat
receipts as well as Omaha does, and the
prices here are still relatively higher than
either our nearby competitors or Chicago.
It is still difficult to force wheat to yield
to pressure end the hears will have to
keep constantly at work and pay close at
tention to buslnese to prevent the bulls
taking It away from them. At the open
ing this morning the trend was toward a
lower range, but the recoil was always
ready and many short sellers are unwilling
to go home without evening up their trades.
Borne- of the best commission houses are
advising extreme .caution In speculation.
The actual closing prices were nil slightly
lower as compared with the finals of Fri
day, but the breaks compared with the
advances are hardly worthy of notice.
The weather for corn Is all that could
be desired, and until thore Is an additional
advance In wheat or the frost scare starts,
there Isn't much chance for a movement
toward higher prices. The. same Is true
of oats, except regarding frost. The crop
la harvested and only general advances
will Improve the price position of this
cereal. They were off over point.

CATTLE There were not enouah cattle
reported this morning to mkks a market.
There were quite a tew common cows In
the yards carried over from day to day,
for which there Is practically no demand,
and very few of them changed hands
today. Most of tho common cows that are
being sold go to speculators and not to
killers. For tho week receipts are about
double the supply of last week, but 6,000
head short of tne same week ot last year.
In regard to shipping ,.,zt week commis
sion men advise considerable caution, it
does not look now as though the market
would stand any great Increase In receipts
the first of the week at least, and wmt la
shipped In should be of good (juullty. Com
mon cows and steers should be kept at
home by all means, for packers simply pick
out the better grades, and then commission
men have to sell' what Is left to speculators
or to anyone they can get to take them
off their hnnda, regardless ot price. Ship
pers should keep in close touch with their
comml.islon firms and rely upon their ad
vice. This market Is In as good condition
as any In the country and snippers In this
territory will make a mistake to pass it by.
The market on corn-ted steers of tne
better grades Is very little different from
me cioee 01 last week, Monday s slump
havng been Just about regained. Common
kinds, though, are dull and a little lower
for the week. Cattle have sold this week
high aa 86.76. but strictlv chnlca
would probably bring a little mora ss.ir
to good cattle sell from $5.00 to $6.50, and
the commoner grades from $4.25 to $4 86
The market on western grass beef steers
has shown but little change all the week
The better grades have met with ready sale
tu wiiiiuuu Aldus are more or less neg
lected. , As high as $6.10 was paid for some
strictly choice cattle, but the bulk of the
good to choice grades are quotable from
$4.00 to $4.60, fair to good $3.30 to $3.86. and
common kinds from $5.25 down.
The cow market has been very Irregular
this week, with the tendency of prices de
cidedly downward. As compared with
Wednesday of last week, the market la
50ijj(5c lower, the commoner kinds showliiis)
the greatest loss. Strictly choice grass
cows may be quoted from $3.00 to $3 26 and
something prime might bring a little more
than that. Corn-feds, if good enough,
ought to sell up around $4.00, but few are
being offered. Fair to good cows are sell
ing from $2.00 to $2.76 and canners and cut
ters from $1.00 to $2.00. As mentioned
above, It Is almost Impossible to find a
buyer for common to medium cows, even
at these bargain counter prices, and for
that reason they should be kept at home.
Bulls are also slow sale and. In fact, so
few of the common kinds have been sold
to packers of late that it Is practically
ImposHlble to tell what they would bring
Choice Corn-feds sell from $3.25 to $3 80
Veal calves are about steady for the week'
Receipts of stockers and feeders have
been rather light most of the week so
that, although the demand was limited
prices have held about steady. Good to
Lno,cK,mle may ba quoted from $3.40 to
$3.70, fair to good $3.00 to $3 26, and the
commoner grades from $8.00 down. Repre
sentative sales:

110U8-Receipts of hogs today were about
1.000 head heavier than yesterday, which
makes the supply for the week about 14 000
head heavier than last week, but 8,000 head
short of the corresponding week of last
year.
The market opened with the demand In
fairly good shape for the light and medium
weight hogs and such kinds sold at Just
about steady prices with yesterday. The
medium and mixed loads sold largely from
$5 06 to $5.10, with the choice lights from
$6.10 to $5.17. None seemed to be at all
anxious for the heavies and 'by the time
half of the total receipts had been dis
posed of packers seemed to have their
more urgent orders filled and the market
came to a standstill. For & time very little
business waa transacted.
The weakness did not ' last any great
length of time find packers finally bought
up what was left at Just about the same
prices as were paid early In the morning.
Tne nenvy nogs sold largely from $6 to
$5.06. The market today averages fully as
strong as It did yesterday, but that Is ac
counted for by the fact that there were
some good lightweights on sale that both
shippers and packers wanted and they sold
at steady to strong prices In some casea.
As 111 K ri as $6.20 was paid for a load weigh
lug 167 pounds.
As compared with the close of last week
the mark -t Is about 2c. lower on the aver,
age. Representative sales:.

SHfcKP There were three csra of sheep
reported this morning and as packers
seemed to be In shape to handle a few
they changed hands at an early hour. Tha
Idaho ewes and wethers that sold yester
day for $3. brought $3.78 today, or a dime
higher. There was also a buncn ot Ne
braska ewes on sale that brought $0.
For the week receipts have been about 1.0"0
head heavier than for last week, but Is
compared with the same week of last year
the supply has been less than a third as
Urge. Packers have handled the offerings
In quite satisfactory mor.rer and the week
Is closing with a good, strong tone to the
trade. It la evident, however, that tho
market will not stand any material in
crease In receipts the first cf the week, snd
commission men are sdvlsing their custo
mers to be cautious. The situation here
Is Just as good as at other points, and
where a shipper wants to take the risk of
marketlrg some of his slock, nothing will
be gained by passing this market. The
safest plan will be for shippers to consult
their commission firm before sending In any
great quantity.
The feeder market has not changed much
during the week. There is quite a demand
in sight and more feeders could have been
