though the thermometer still ranges in the
nineties. There are no positive reports IN
regard to the crops, save that grain has
been badly beaten down by storms, and the damp
heat following caused considerable rust. Corn IS
doing well so far as heard from.
Council BLUFFS, Iowa, July 1S.-The thermome-
ter has ranged from 900 to 1902 in the shade
in this city and vicinity during the past week,
but prostratons by the heat have averaged less

is necessarily slow.

from Middietown, states that fatal af
fray occurred at "Hamtown," a suburb
OF that place, chiefly inhabited by colored
people, about o'clock Sunday morning.
The parties in the fight were George
Draper and John Wilson both colored.
ana the latter is the owner of the house
In which Draper resides. Wilson went
10 the house Sunday morning, and stand
ing just outside the fence, engaged in a
di'pute with Draper, who was cutting
wood In the yard, in relation to who
should attend TO certain repairs needed
to the fence. The disputa soon waxed
hot, and Draper ordered Wilson to leave
The premises, but Wilson refused and ad-
vanced towards the gate. just as he was
entering the gate Draper raised the axe
and struck him in the right breast, in
hicting gfastly wound, from which the
blood flowed in torrents. Wilson fell to
the groand, and died in a few minutes.
Draper did not attempt to escape, but
surrendered himself to the Middletown
authorities. who Immediately telegraph
ed to Coroner Rose, requesting him to
come down and hold an inquest.
coroner Rose went to Miudietown, yes
terday afternoon, accompanied by un-
dertaker Fox, and held an inquest The
evidence fixed the crime upon Draper,
and verdict in accordance with the
above facts was rendered. Draper made
feeble claim to the effect that he did
not strike a blow with the axe, but that
1t fell from his uplifted hands.
An old colored woman named Ara
minta Hazard testified that Wilson
walked away before the fight, but Drap-
er called him back, saying he would
knock his head off. Wilson came back,
with his hands in his pockets, and Drap-
er struck him with the axe. Wilson
walked away, holding up his hands and
crying "Lord have mercy on me-" He
walked about 80 yards, and then fell
down and died in about two minutes.
Afterwards Draper went up to the
body, looked at it, and then went in and
gave himself to Constable VIM. r. Lock
wood, who locked him up.
The verdict was that "John Wilson
came to his death by wound or cut in
the neck and breast, with an axe, said
axe being in the hands of Geo. Draper,
colored." The inqust was held in the
school house and VIM. N. Wilson was
foreman of the jury.
Draper was confined In the town lock-
up last night, and this morning was
brought to New Castle and confined in
jail.
