CHICAGO HORSE MARKET.
Clearance of Receipts Not as Good as
Last Week.
Chicago, Jan. 16.—The heavy re
ceipts for the week weakened values
on common offerings, while the good
to choice consignments close nominally
steady. The broad inquiry a week ago
for farm chunks stimulated the for
warding of heavy receipts of plain
1200 to 1400 pound chunks, with the
result that the market was over
crowded with this useful class, and
prices weakened, with the bulk, of sales
averaging $5 lower. Choice eastern
chunks and wagon offerings were fair
ly active at $110@140 end upward for
extra quality arrivals. Big stall-fed
drafters met with steady outlet, prin
cipally on eastern orders at 170@220
and upward, one load of fancy supreme
weight offerings topping the market
for the week, also for the year, with a
few animals that changed hands at
very satisfactory prices, value and
quality considered, holding firm at
lart year's quotations. While trade has
not been as acrerresslve as a week ago
on medium kinds, the best offerings
have sold fairly steady at the follow
ing prices:

This was to the effect that Holada
had fired one of the shots that resulted
In the killing of Gallaugher, In June,
1902.
Up-to-date, even during the trial of
the widow for alleged perjury, just
condluded in Marengo, Holada swore
repeatedly that his guilt consisted of
nothing worse than plotting. He reit
erated at each of the three trials his
statement that he did not fire a bullet
Into Gallaugher's head, as the former
lay in his own bed.
Now Detective Clearman states posi
tively, that Holada, after leaving the
witness stand a few days ago, with the
lies on his lips, held a conference with
the detective and frankly confessed
that he had so lied, and that there were
two shots fired the night of the mur
der, one from a revolver, and one
from a rifle.

very strong aj convincing argument
that the Sales .rera good thing for the
farmfer is the• 'act that they are very
much opposed By a good many local
dealers, men hp, like Silly Hall and
others, buy ah 1 bunch up horses, and.
then sell them at their homes in car*
lots to the very men from eastern' and
other markets, who can. be brought
right here to the Ottumwa "sales, and
will buy directly from you instead of
paying the extra price to the middle
man, the local dealer.
I know what I am talking about
when I say these sales are strongly
opposed by .these dealers. I have talk
ed with them on the subject. They
say the farnaers will get "too smart,
they will soon learn the difference in
value between an ordihary horse and a
strictly gobd one, the' same as the local
dealer knows it." Then what will be

of this Opposition this attempt to stop
these sales, the noted Billy Hall, who
by the way, is a good buyer for all
classes of horses, has advertised to be
in Ottumwa on the day following our

smart nian to see what his purpose is.
He thinks tfiat following right after the
sale, his reputation afc a buyer will
cause faimers to refuse to let their
horses go .in the sale.. thinking they
can. sell to him afterwards. And in
this manner he can cripple our opening
