t{rnoon when N. F. Lake came over to him
aud Il seems made . demand for dollar and

but which Troup maintained had been paid.
In the quarrel that ensued. In which hard
names were used, Lake struck Troup over
the head with . monkey-wrench INJECTING .
considerable scalp wound, which was re-
peated once or twice. whereupon Troup
drew revolver and shot Lake. Lake then
whirled, II seems, for the third shot took ef-
effect In his back, entering his lower abdo-
men. Lake lived but short time. Troup
went to Mulvane and gave himself up, but
Mulvane being in Sumner county the author
tiles Of this county were summoned ~ stated
ut the outset. Upon the arrival Of Coroner
Wingsrd . writ Of detention was served and
Troupe was brought to this city and lodged
in jail to await u preliminary examination.
which takes place this Thursday morning.
Lake Is u man about forty Year, old and
OF family and his place adjoins that Of
Troup's father. Lake owned the threshing
machine about which the quarrel originated.
T. B. Wall, Esq, Of the firm Of Stanley &

tanned to defend Troup, who Is n single man
say twenty-five or twenty-three years Of age.

who, by the way, has made farming in this
valley not only u success. but profitable, i'm
parts new idea, new to us at least, and that
Is the cultivation of growing wheat. What
first attracted his attention to the result OF
such treatment was thin piece Of wheat on
his place in 1873. Making up his mind that
the piece would amount to nothing in any
event he put heavy harrow upon it and
gave the whole piece thorough raking both
ways. The result was twenty four bushels
Of wheat 10 the acre. This spring, with a
light harrow, he commenced on a poor cor
ner of an hundred-acre field Of wheat. II
took eight days to harrow the whole plat,
but by the time he got through the poor spot
begun upon, eight days previous. made the
best showing Of any part Of the entire area.
lie says the harrow tears up but little Of the
wheat. He did not want that We should
give at as his conclusion that the cultivation
of wheat in a dry time would be attended
with rs profitable results as the cultivation
Of corn, bu: only to give his work and expo.
