$100,000 WORTH OF LIVE STOCK SHIPPED FROM HERE

A special train consisting of thir-ty-six cars of live stock was sent from here to Chicago Sunday night One of the can was from Pleasant Ridge and the other thirty-five were from here. The stock shipped was about SIOO,OOO in value. On account of the switchmen's strike stockmen had not been shipping. The high price of corn is making it almost impossible for feeders to continue to feed their hogs and cattle. Corn is not only high, $1.60 per' bushel, but it is very scarce here.
