The price advance from May to June was- accompanied by a 5 per cent decline in storage holdings of ratio for the pork. The com-ho- g United States was 11.5 on June 15, as compared to 11.6 a month earlier and 11.3 in June, 1929. Increased supplies of beef cattle tended to depress the United States average farm price of cattle. At $8.20 per hundredweight, the June 15 price was approximately 2 per cent iower than on May 15, and 16 per cent lower than on June 15, 1929. In the period ended June 14, receipts of cattle st 7 primary markets were 5 per cent greater than in s similar period ended May 17, and were about 14 per cent greater than receipts in the corresponding period of last year. The United States average fsnn price of corn advanced approximately 1.7 per cent from May 15 to June 15. The advance was general throughout the country, but largest in the south states. On Atlantic and still about were com June 15, prices 9 per cent lower than a year ago. Factors which favored this advance are the relatively small commercial stocks, indications pointing to only moderate marketings for the remainder of the season, and on acceleration of activity among industrial users ox far-weste- rn corn.

He had traversed 800 miles by horseback In that length of time by 136 hours of continuous riding and traveling 140 miles each 24 hours. Fort Aubrey was established In September, 1856, about four inllea east of tlis present city of 8yracue, Kan. During Its brief career It waa an post on tlia historic Santa Fe Trail, for It was tha only refuge for wagon trains, harassed by Indian atstretch between tack, In the Fort Dodge, Kan., and Fort Lyon. Colo. It was garrlaoned by United Statea troops for a time and then, the necessity for its being there having apparently passed away, It waa aban dorjed. At least It panned out of the anny records about 1858 or 1859. Interesting as Fort Aubrey was a n haven for those who traversed the Santa Fe Trail by stage coach, rov ered wagon or puck train when the lavage tribesmen swooped down. It is even more Interesting because it Ik the scene of a tragedy of the plains which Is still one of the unsolved my teries of the Old West For her one day hi December, 1803, a party of 22 Missouri militiamen froze to death In n fierce bllxzard which swept over western Kansas. What their names were and Just how they met their death no one knows. Local tradition lias preserved part of the story and the military records throw some light on the tragedy, but there Is still enough left untold to make It a true "mystery of the plains." The local tradition part of It has been preserved by a Syracuse merchant, II. llelfrich, s pioneer homesteader and the Socialist candidate ' of Kansas In 1920, whose for governor Ta the blatory of hla county. hobby He got the story from R. T. Ooans, who was s member of the party caught In the blizzard and who assisted In the burial of the dead. Mr. Goans told Mr. llelfrich three companies of cavalry, an escort of Governor Goodwin of Arizona, left Fort Leavenworth In the fall of 1803 to accompany the governor to Fort Union, N. M.

Records of Fort taavenworth and the Arizona Historical society show Governor Goodwin, the first governor of Arisons, left Fort Leavenworth September 25,. 1863, escorted by Companies A and II of the regular cavalry, and Company I of the Fourth Missouri militia. The expedition was In charge of MaJ. James A. rhllllps of Kansas, with Lieut Peter F. Clark, Cspt John H. Butcher and Capt Daniel Rice In command of the companies. They arrived st Fort Union, N.

The Indians could throw no light on the subject, and It may bo that this fight occurred before their advent hero. Among the theories advanced to account fur the wiping out of this cavalry troop la one to the effect that these men perished In a blizzard. Whnt gave rise to thla Idea was the fact that no broken hones or perforated skulls, showing the effects of gunfire, were found. From this the Idea was gathered that these men and their mounts did not perish In battle. The tory went around that these men were a part of a cavalry regiment atatlimed at some post along the Missouri, about the time of the outbreak of the Civil war. That they were either recruited from the South or were with the South In their sympathies, that they had deaerted sometime In March of 61, and headed for the James river with' the view of working their way down Into the Confederate statea by thst route. "The theory was that this was the safer route, as the army trails generally followed the Missouri, and there would be much greater danger of pursuit and capture, If they traveled that way. That on their way to I he James they were overtaken by a blizzard and, being lost and bewildered In the driving snow, and In Imminent danger of freezing, they had, on stumbling on this buffalo wallow, buried themselves In the snow, which would be deeper there. In the hope of preserving their lives until the storm abated, but because of the Intense cold, they perished to a man. Not so far away was the river, with that region, which would have afforded "One evening as they were heading high hanks some and there was plenty of shelter, towards the river In search of a good wood for fires, so thst they might have camping place, they passed a buffalo wallow.
