Of 10 hours. and the time from San

D;ikota's Crops.

The following summary of crop condi-
tons is wired from Washington: The
condition Of wheat in Dakota has been
lowered in several counties by t~hrashing
from the shock. The fall rains have in
telrupted tho work, and by long exposure
it is somewhat bleached. Where soft vuri-
cites were raised smut prevailed to some
extent. The main portion of tho crop.
however, is very fine. In those counties
where the drought was most severe, caus-
ing almost Il failure, iatc rains have fallen
and the ground Is in splendid condition
for blowing. Oats are short in Weld and
poor in quality. ltust was quite prevalent
in many localities. Tie average condition
of buckwhcat is reduced by being frosted
before maturity. Corn in the extreme
southern portion Of the state Is goo !, yet
a large per cent. of the crop has suffered
from lack of sufficient moisture. Potatoes.
in quality, fair; in quantity, less than the
average yield.

Was Milton the Robbero

Harry Milton. the night clerk in the Far
go postofice, is either playing q deep-laid
game. or is the victim of bold burglars.
The other night the second act in the
drama occurred. and restless Harry is
nursing a%.wounded left arm. lie claims
that on being awakened by a noise he in
vestigatcd with his revolver in hand, and
was confronted by a man who shot at him
four times at close range. The man
jumped through the window, five bullets
from Harry's pistol going after him. There
was a belief that Harry was the real bur-
glar at the first attack several days ago,
and now many think that hearing of this
distrust he thought to create sympathy for
himself by inficting the wound. The
postoffice inspector, S. p. Childs, is inves-
tigating the case. and definite develop
ments are looked for soon.
