Chicago. April I—The great provision deal
on the Board of Trade, which for twelve months
has kept the price of pork, lard and ribs under
the domination of two fir-*s, was loosened
up to-day. Cudahy and Fairbanks,
who have, since March. 1892, been
in command of tte provision market,
have abdicated. They are satisfied seemingly
with $3.(XU,000, which they are said to have
cleared upon their twelve* months’ manipuia -
tlou The markets for provisions to-day, with
out the support which those firms have iieen In
the habit of giving them, were extremely weak.
There was a drop of $1 per barrel in pork and
$1 per 100 poun !a in lard When the crowd
saw that hog meats were abandoned by their
late supporters there was a general rush to un
load, resulting in the heavy decline referred to.
The big drop in the price of provisions was the
principal feature of the markets to-day. Every
thing else was similarly affected, but at a less
depressing extent than the provision deal.
To-nignt, compared with the dosing prices
ThursJav, the following are the losses sus

GIBSON'S SHOT WAS TRUE,
An Indianapolla Man Graphically
Telle How Ho Flew a Mexican. 1
From the Minneavolit Journal.
"Have you ever killed a man, coloneir
The question was asked of Col. R. j. Q liy
son. an American by birth aud a native of
Indianapolis, who hails now from Mexioo
where he has been in tbe service of the gov
ernment hb a military attaobe for the lu*
eight years. The colonel was enter>aining
a little parry at the West hotel with stori-s
of bis adventures lu the country east of the
Rio Grande, some of wbich are full of inter
est tor those unused to the ways of the
genus * ‘greater." He seemed staggered at
the abruptness of tbe query and the expres
sion of bis face changed from gay to grave
in an instant. Leaning forward he knocked
the ashes from bis cigar, replaoed it in his
mouth and blew half a dozen deliberate
whiffs before answering.
“Yes,” he said at last, in a voice that was
subdued by contrast with his reoeut speech
“1 killed a man ocoe. The act was o-omrait-'
ted in self-defense, but I shall carry the
recollection of it to my grave.”
Here there was pause and another clcud
of smoke from the colonel’s long Havana.
His manner indicated thaf this particular
adventure had left a sore spot in the man's
memory, and no one ventured to hurry
him.
"I don’t speak of this very often,” re
sumed the colonel. “I cannot think of it
without recalling the expression of intense
hate and fury on tho face cf tho man as ha
died. I shot him, and he was dead in two
minutes. He fell down in a bunch of mes
quite grass, and at first I thought he was
killed outright. I remember that tbe only
sensation I felt on seeing him fall was
one of intense satisfaction that my
bullet had sped true. Then I saw
his body writh and twist, his hands
olutohiiig at tbe grass stems and a
feeling of humanity overcame tbe revenge
ful spirit in me. I ran to where ha lay and
turned him face upward. He was shot
through both lungs, and the rattle was in
his throat as I reached him. The loos of
hate and fear combined on his face was ap
palling in its intensity. Even as I turned
him he spat at rae the blood and saliva that
was oozing from his lips. Hissing, gasping
nnd writhing m agony, he even then strug
gled to get the rifle which bad fallen beyond
his reach. I took a flask of brandy from
my pockets, determined to relieve the man’s
dying moments as much as possible. With
n supreme effort he struck the flask and
sent it spinning ont of uvy hand away Into
the brush. It was his last act. The next
instant he lay dead at my feet.”
There was silence for fully a moment.
The colonel was blowing dense clouds of
smoke again, and it seemed that he didn't
intend to finish the story.
“What Aid you kill him for, colonelP
asked somebody.
“Eh! O, I hired him at San Antonio to
aot as guide on a bunting tiip. When we
had been out a week or two I had come to
the conclusion from several actions of his
that my servant would bear watching. Wa
were camped in a river bottom one evening
and I expected to get some game about sun
down. I was Bitting on a camp stool read
ing a oopy of an old newspaper that
happened to be among my traps.
“Something struck me on the cheek with
a sharp sting, and there was the report of
a rifle. I grasped my Winchester and
jumped up, putting my hand to my fare.
Blood was streaming from it. Over in ths
bush, fifty feet away I saw a little curl of
white smoke slowly issuing. The bushes
mored, and 1 knew that my enemy was
there. Quick as thought I threw up the
rifle aud fired almost at random. There
was a shriek of pain, an upward plunge of
a dark figure, then a inau burst through
the brush and fell face down. The Win.
Chester had done its work.”
Again there was a period of silence. The
listeners were waiting for the rest of the
story, but the colonel seemed anxious to
quit the subject.
"I tell you what," he said, suddenly re
suming h’9 former breezy style of conversa
tion, “you can’t trust a greaser. He’ll do
you any time for ass bill. One consolation
I have in this affair is that I paid that
fellow for his services two weeks iu ad
vance.”
