Slingley drew his revolver and shot Jones
through the body. inflicting wound from
which he died an hour later. He also shot
Miller, but not fatally. The officer was ar
rested to save his life from the crowds. He
was brought to this city for safekaeping.
To-day young Miller's father and q crowd
OF people from the neighborhood where
the young man lived came to this CITY and
threatened that Slingely would be lynched
if he was taken back to Cedar Falls. 1t was
the intention to take him back to-day, but
the officers feared to. and he still remains
in Jail here. The sheriff placed an extra
guard at the Jail TO- night, and any attempt
to take him from the Jail will meet with
stubborn resistance. Reports from Cedar
Falls state that threats of lynching have
been openly made there also. The prelimi-
nary examination will be held Thursday.

slaves were packed in the hold like her

they hold each other up. If one falls from

weather it is impossible to feed or water
them properly. When the ship rolls heav

Curious Circumstance Developed at

CHICAGO Aug "a curious circumstance
developed at the inquest on the babe which
Mrs. Frances Russell is accused OF having
starved to death. Mrs. Russell, to the sur
prise of everybody, admitted when placed
under oath. that, Notwithstanding the &C
cepted belief and her own statement, the in
tant was not hers. The woman then stated
that she obtained the child from an orphan
asylum and palmed it off upon her hus-
band as their offspring. The reason as
signed for the deception was to prevent
trouble in her family. By means of drugs,
taken to quiet her nerves, she had uninten-
tionally miscarried. to hide which from her
husband she surreptitiously brought home
the child. Thomas Russell, the be:ooled
husband, was intensely angered on hearing
his wife's testimony. He said:
I didn't know until this moment that the
child was not ours. All the neighbors were run
ming in and out and my wife sat weak and sick
in an arm chair, and / thought it was all
right.
Mrs Russell tried to patch things up by
declaring that she had testified to lie, but
her husband would not believe her and left
the court room. Mrs. Russell was held
without bail to await the action of the grand
jury.

Deplorable Condition of Crops Shown by
the Farmers Review Summary.
CHICAGO. Aug. 5.-The Farmers Review
tomorrow will say:
Outside of few counties in Michigan, Wiscon-
consin and Minnesota, where local rains have
fallen, drouth is universal in the states cover ed
by our report-Illnois, Indiana, Ohio, Nilsson ri,
Kansas Michigon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Iowa and Nebraska. AS q natural
consequence the corn crop is suffering. Unless
rains come soon, and in abundant supply, the
crop will be h comparative failure.
Spring wheat, also, is experiencing the blight
ing effects of drouth. The average condition of
that crop at present in Iowa, Nebraska. Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and the Dakotas is about rs per
cent below average.
Oats are yielding as well as could be expected
considering the adverse circumstances to which
the crop has been subject in the way of drouth
and insect depredations The crop is practically
q failure in Kentucky, as also in many counties
of Illinois, Missouri and Indiana, where the raw
ages of the grain plant louise were most severe
The reports indicate that the average condition
is 80 per cent lower than that of last year at
harvest time, and the average yield 20 per cent
less than that of 1889. Minnesota and the Da
ko tas lead this year with oats, and are harvest
ing good crops both as regards quality and
yield,

weeds for several rods around were beaten
and stamped down. In the struggle the

thought very strange was that q female
