HALF A CROP.
Unfavorable Report from the Missour

Unfavorable Report from the Missouri
Valley Of Condition Of Trade.
TOWNSEND. July l.-[Special. From all
attainable information the grain yield in
the Missouri valley promises to be but half
crop. The problem Of self-preservation
confronts the ranchman, and conventional
law il little needed. The cry Of water, and
the efforts of all to procure it, produces
much friction, and proceedings criminal
and civil are pending to decide "prior
rights" One evil brings on another, and
az the mill Of justice must be fed when it
grinds, 80 the farmer will be the poorer for
the grinding. Recent rains have improved
the range somewhat, and the stcckmen are
feeling more hopeful. Business is better
than at the same period last year. The
merchants have sold more goods and re-
ceived more cash. The Importance of Town
send as a supply point and a starting point
for the adjacent mines and mining country
is becoming more apparent every day. The

The Townsend bank seems to be doing q
good business. A public road has been sur
veyed from Townsend to the point on the
Missouri river where tho contemplated
bridge will connect this county with Jeffer-
son. Valley county will yet have an exist

and our people are willing to stand in with

Flimsy Excuses by the skipper.


LAKE CIrY, July A.-Capt. Witheren,
proprietor and commander Of the Sea
Wing, has been severely blamed by citizens
and others for what they allege to have
been criminal negligence on his part in
pulling out into the lake with such q crowd
when the sky looked so threatening. The
captains wife and two of his three children
lost their lives under the waves. and that
fact, together with the loss of his vessel and
the great loss of life 80 unnerved him
that he kept pretty much out of sight during
the day, and those who did see him got but
imperfect statements from him. The first
is that he did not consider the danger very
great and thought he saw q break in the
clouds promising clearing away of the
storm. This is not we'll taken by the people
in this neighborhood, who say the sky was
black with the most threatening kind of
clouds, and that it was clearly evident a
very heavy storm was about to break. The
other excuse, il such these may be called. is
that the manager of the excursion, whose
profits would be cut down by any delay in
the departure of the boat, was 30 urgent in
his insistence upon immediate departure
that the captain yielded and took tho boat
out to her destruction.

put their seal of approval upon the find

particularly curious things about the mat

it was, was worth only about $50, 900;
