A««^L»t»I rrni TO The Bvealag TIBN.
Kansas City, July 19. The rate
bearing ppstponed at St. Louis on July
9 was resulted here today by the Mis
souri board of railway and warehouse
commissionem. The hearing of the
-complaint of {the National Petroleum
association and the National Refinery
-company, both of Cleveland, Ohio, was
held before the board in Kansas City
last month for three days. The taking
of testimony was not concluded and
an adjournment was taken to St. Louis
for July 21. The inability of impor
tant witnesses to be present at S$*.
Louis caused another postponement to
this city today. The principal com
plaint made last month was that the
Standard Oil company is receiving
much better fates in Missouri and as
a result has a big advantage over the
Independent companies.

Swift Current, N. W. T., July 19.—
SVr several weeks a string of drilling
tools has been lost at the bottom of a
ii 2,000-foot hole, which is being drilled
•. by the Cassidy-Swift Current Oil com

The drillers in charge have had a
long siege of it, trying to fish the tools
out, but owing to the fact that the for

cave In on the tools almost as.fast as
It was cleaned out
But at last the caving was overcome
and on the morning of the 11th inst., a
Tun was made for the string of tools,
which resulted in geting a aood grip
on them, and at 11 o'clock, they were
safely landed on top of mother earth.
John A. Park and C. Dawson were in
charge of the work and arie now re

that the well is in good shape and the

FROM NEW BREED
Buffalo Man Gets Good Results
by Crossing Polled Angus
and Shorthorn Cattle.
ANIMAL CALLED "BUFFTORREY"
*—iHatei PRAIA to The Bfttlag TIM*.
Meeteetse, Wyo., July 19.—An entire
ly new breed of hornless cattle, known
as "bufftorreys," is attracting the at
tention of livestock men in this coun
try. The "bufftorrey" is the creation
of Col. J. L. Torrey, of Rough .Rider
fame, who has been quietly experimen
ting in the production ofthe new breed
for several years, and now announces
the real object of his endeavors—the
creation of anianimal bearing the hide
and hair closely resembling hat of the
now almost extinct buffalo.
The herd of "bufftorreys" now at the
Embar ranch is the result of crossing
thoroughbred Polled Angus with the
Shorthorn breed, producing an animal
wlh a dull curly brown colored coat,
that, when taken from the "bufftorrey"
and tanned, cannot be told from a gen
uine buffalo robe. Several years have
been required to produce this new
breed. At firat only a small percent
age of the crosses were colored brown
and these were separated from the oth
ers. Recently three bufftorreys"
have dropped calveB, all of the desired
color, and the colonel is now confident
he has solved the problem of raising
buffalo hides along with the usual
amount of range beef.,
"This fall," said Colonel Torrey, "as
soon as the hides affe prime, I expect to
kill one of the animals and have the
hide made into an overcoat for Presi
dent Roosevelt It will be the first and
only coat of its kind but within a few
years "bufftorrey" coats will be as
common as the old buffalo ones were
20 years ago."
Recently Colonel Torrey shipped in
several carloads of thoroughbred
Polled Angus and Shorthorn cattle to
increase his herd of "bufftorreys."

fee, was "begun here yesterday when
Frank J. Boudinot, an eastern Chero
kee, applied to the district supreme

payment of an attorney's fee, said to
amount to |50,000, to Finkelberg,
Nagle A Klrby of St LOUIB, MO., and
Edgar Smith of Vinita, I. T. Boudinot
alleges that the contract under which
the fees were claimed was never ex
ecuted by the Cherokee nation, but
was entered into by Thomas M. Buf
flngton, principal chief of the nation,
against the public vote of the nation
In council assembled, and was there
fore made without authority. The
contract, it is further alleged, does
not bind the Cherokee nation and cer
tainly not the eastern Cherokees.
Boudinot filed his petition in his own
behalf and in behalf of such others
of the tribe who care to Intervene,
claiming that to pay the fee would
reduce their share of the money ap
propriated by congress.

St. pLul, July 19.—C. E. Wolf, coun

$110 to ihe Minnesota game and fish
commission for violating the game
laws today. Altogether Wolf has paid
in $257 and may have to pay more.
Game Warden Filler ton claims Wolf
has been coming over into Minnesota
deer hunting since 1903 and taking
away more deer than the law allows.
The commission went after him and
Wolf contested every step. Recently
the supreme court ruled against Wolf.
He, however, remained out of the
jurisdiction of the Minnesota officers
until a couple of weeks ago when he
came Into the state on a business trip
and was called to account. Bail has
been exacted to cover all the viola
tions, but the case of 190S may not
be pushed, as Wolf claims he is being
persecuted more than prosecuted.
MRS. HOLMAN FOR WHITE.
Aaaoelate* Preaa Cable to The Eveilac
Pittsburg, Pa., July 19.—According
to a story told by a close personal
friend of Mrs. Charles J. Holman, the
mother of Mrs. Harry Kendall Thaw,
Mrs. Holman will go to New York
and testify at the trial of Harry Thaw
that Stanford White was never any
thing but a good, loyal friend to her
daughter that he educated both her
and her little brother that he secured
good engagements for her, and that,
at all times, he treated her like he
would have treated a daughter, with
the utmost respect $nd consideration.
She will, it is stated swear that her
son-in-law never had ahy occasion for
being jealous of Mr. White* and that
it was merely his dlsllkV for him
Which caused htm to slay him. Mrs.
Holman could not be seen tpnight.
Roger O Mara,' the Pittsburg detec
tive, returned from New York today,
where he has been in conference with
Thaw's attorneys. As a result, all the
detectives have abandoned the work
they have been doing to prove that
young Thaw is insane. Instead they
will work on the theory that he was
only insane when on the subject of
White.
His lawyers, it Is alleged, will ad
vance the plea that Thaw, when he
killed White, was suffering from "ir
resistible, uncontrollable Impulse, pro
duced by emotion independent of the
will of the intellect." By making this
plea they hope to savtf young Thaw
both from the electric chair and the
insane asylum.

Milwaukee, July 19—A large number
of general agents of life insurance

within the pale of the law. Albright
said if the supreme court judges were

Chicago, July 19.—The reported dis
covery of rust in the wheat fields of
Minnesota and the Dakotas caused a
sharp advance today in the price of
wheat here. At the close September
delivery showed a net gain of M-%cr
Corn was up %c. Oats were practi
cally unchanged. Provisions were 214
to 6c higher.
The advance in the wheat market
occurred about the middle of the ses
sion and was brought about by several
reports from Minneapolis, which
claimed that reliable authorities had
discovered black rust on samples of
wheat sent from the Dakotas and
Minnesota. These advices caused an
active demand for wheat, and several
of the leading commission houses
bought freely. The selling was most
ly by cash interests. Later, however,
offerings became more liberal, the
continued large primary receipts hav
ing a tendency to encourage selling
and a large part of the early grain
was lost. Early in the day the market
was bullish because of the compara
tively firm tone of the Liverpool mar
ket prices showing only a slight de
cline there against a decline of more
than one cent here yesterday. The
market closed firm.
