bacco was the s:ecial feature, break
ing from kW to the Indictment of
the managers having led to selling for
both accounts. Gold engagements to
the extent of $l,6UO,ooO also had an ad
verse influence, and London houses and
local operators sold fairly large
amounts of the leading- Issues. The
foreigners according; to authorities sold
nearly 10.0W shaies. The Iom In prices
ranged from H to 74 per cent, the In
dustrials, Molle and Ohio, and Interna
tionals and the Grangers scoring the

Ska Was Fat aad Therefore Sought Safety
la the Only Way.
From the Chicago Dally Tribune.
An aged negress weighing nearly 00
pounds, a small white man. and a Texas
steer created considerable fun and a
little excitement yesterday afternoon at
the stock yards.
The negress, with a red nubia over
her head, was ambling slowly toward
the bank building, when suddenly some
person raised a cry that a wild steer
was loose.
A moment later a big-horned fellow,
with a crowd of horsemen after him,
plunged west on the thoroughfare
toward Halsted street.
All who could made a plunge for the
high fence, but the negress could not
climb and the steer seemed to have her
In his mind as he was cavorting toward
her.
To climb the fence was for her a
physical impossibility, while the
chances of being thrown over It were
good.
Just then a little man rnn down the
sidewalk. As he reached the colored
woman she seized him by the shoulder
Olid turned Ills face toward the steer.
The big animal hulled and looked r.t
the pair. As the steer turned, bo did
the woman turn the little man. who
kicked to get free. Just what made the
steer take water no person knows, but
after looklns for a moment he walked
away and was soon after driven Into a
pen.
Once sure she wus free from danger
the colored woman released her hold
on the little man and walked away. As
sho climbed on the walk In front of the
bank she said to the crowd: 'Tell you
what, boss, I was determined that man
would die first."
