Farmers are busy cutting their grain.
Wheat in the western part of thecoun
ty is considerably damaged by the
chinch bugs. Oats are very heavy, and
in some fields badly lodged, which
makes the harvesting slow. Flax is
good. Corn is coming on finely and an
average crop may be expected if the
weather should be favorable. Many
pieces We're replanted which are back
ward. Hay crop is remarkably good
quality. Help for haying and harvest
ing is much needed by the farmers,
which is scarce.

will pay the damage? The road has

FATAL WRECK.

"A CeffIDlo ACCIDENT occurred ABOUT
three-fourths of a mile south of Wau-
kegan, at Warmers crossing Of the
Milwaukee and Chicago Railroad, on
last Saturday at 6 o'clock P. M, result
lug in the death Of four persons. and
seriously injuring several others. A
gravel train with some twenty men
and ten or twelve flat cars, had been
engaged at a culvert between Rockland
and Lake Forest, and were backing to
the Station at Waukegan, to get out
of the way Of the regular trains, one
from Milwaukee, the other from Chi
cago. When at the crossing, some
cows were crossing the Railroad track.
The cars struck a cow, which threw
the car from the track down an en-
bankment, and telescoping some eight
of the fiat cars. The accident was
seen from the Waukegan Depot; help
was Immediately at the scene of the
accident, doing all that could be done
to remove the debris, and relieve the
unfortunate men confined in the ruins.
The following were taken out dead:
Anthony Joyce, foreman of the sec
ton men. He leaves wife and chill
dren in Waukegan. Michael Sheridan,
who leaves wife and children; one of
his sons resides in Kenosha. Patrick
Corners and John Dugan, both with
families, residing at Waukegan.
The conductor had both legs broken,
and injured internally. He was taken
on the regular train to Milwau-
kee, where his family reside, and died
Sunday morning. The others were
more or less bruised, and injured, some
badly. Thomas McNulty was badly
bruised; his recovery is doubtful. Also
Austin Dagan, badly hurt and in a
dying condition; Mark Smalley, badly
hurt in the side and spine; Henry
Burns, ribs broken and otherwise
bruised. The physicians think that
some Of those hurt cannot possibly re-
cover.
The bodies of the four unfortunate
men were brought to the freight house,
where an inquest was held by the cor
oner on Sunday. Frank A. Drew, the
engineer, says he saw the cow, and re-
versed the engine as he came around
the curve, but being down grade,
(was running about the usual speed,
it was impossible to check the train,
to avoid collision.
The wounded men were cared for
! by citizens. Surgeons were sent from
Chicago to attend them.
The train for Milwaukee arrived
here about o.: 80 o'clock, having trans
ferred passengers and baggage from
one train to the other. This is the worst
accident that has occurred on the Chi
cago and Milwaukee Railroad since
the one which happened in 1852, when
the engine, tender, baggage and express
car were thrown off the bridge, little
north of the depot in this city.
A very nice camping ground might
be fitted up on the lake shore near and

l. That the owner of genuine land
certificate, located on land already pat
ented by virtue of a certificate purport
ing TO have been issued by the land
board of Shelby county on the third
day of April, 1910, could come in and
show the latter certificate to be for
gerry, to and in the name of a fictitious
grantee, and that it and the patent is
sued thereon were mere nullities.
.. That 1t was judiciaily known
there was no tribunal or board with
authority or jurisdiction to decide who
were entitled to receive, or 10 issue
certificates for. land IN Texas in April,
1910.
3. That the certificate IN question
was satisfactorily proved to be for
gerry, and that the name of the grantee
thereon is fictitious, and, therefore, the
same rever constituted any authority
for the issuance OF the patent.
4 That such certificate and the
patent based thereon were mere multi
ties, and never appropriated the land
or severed it from the public domain.

no bearing whatever upon such cases.
