STONE Observation-Disclosures, Adams county
ia somewhat excited over an alteration that CO.
Cured there Friday night between two boys
named Cooper and Wallace. Cooper is seventeen
years old :and Wallace fifteen. The boys were
auarreling, but had quit, when Cooper threw a
stone, striking Wallace over the left eye. The
blow was not heavy enough to knock the boy
down, however, and he walked home and told
his mother that he had been struck with a stone
and that his head hurt him. He bathed itin cold
water and went to bed. When the mother called
him for breakfast Saturday morning she could
not awaken him. A doctor was summoned, but
nothing could arouse him. The physicians have
no hepe of his recovery Cooper Is in the lookup.

HOW SUMMIT COUNTY FARMERS WERE
SWINDLED

Two very smoothed tongued agents dropped
down in this county few weeks ago, and at
once proceeded to gather ther harvest, They
were no petty swindlers or note ralsers bat did
business on large scale, They gave their names
as Beatty and Churchill, and were agent for the
Bohemian Hulless Oats" These oats they
claimed, were infuitely superior to any variety
commonly known in America, They originated
in Bohemia a few years ago, and commanded an
almost fabulous price. They yield 80 bushels to
the acre, weigh So pounds to the bushel, and the
straw never lodges" Being without hulls they
win soon superoede all other oats for making
meal. These were few of the recommendations
the agents gave their grain, and they at once
went to work to organize society for the raising
OF such oats in this county. They successfully
attacked many of the NEST wealthy and infuen-
tal farmers in the county, and succeeded in get
ting them to act as officers Of the society. They
furnished constitution and bylaws for the er4
ganization, by which the members bound them
bers bound themselves not to sell any grain for
less than ten dollars per bushel-the price which
they were to pay. All that could not be disposed
Of at thst price they agreed,to take at $3.50 per
bushel. The bait was extensively nibbled, and
several hundred bushels Of the oGts have been
sold in this county, at the fabulous psice Of ten
dollars per busbel. 1t is said that the grain sold
Is fair article for feed, but lsnot of any value to
make into oat meal. 1t is the general impressions
that those who have given their notes for ten dob
lar oats have got badly bitten, A large number
have taken IRON five to fifty bushels, and the
number of orders for from 10 TO 20 bushels is sim
ply surprising. 1t is possible that the oats have
some qualities superior to other varieties, but the
price at which they have been sold is an unmitb
gated sWiadle-AErOn Tines
