Around Jamestown.


JAMESTOWN, July 1.-THE crop out
look in the James river valley has not
materially changed during the past two
weeks. Since the rains commenced the
prospect has indicated a big harvest.
Last Sunday nights storm brought with
it some hail, but it fell in streaks. 1t
only touched this county in one place.
A strip four miles wide through the
southern half of the county was destroyed
There we're about fifty losers and 5000 OF
1000 acres were pounded out. Outside
of this strip but little hail fell. Conser.
vative judges estimate that, barring hail
and hot winds, the county ought to aver
age twenty bushels to the acre.. A good
deal of the grain sown in low places has
been drowned out. On the Darlington
& Casey farms at Millville, the prospect
is. said to be the best ever known.
There is some fear of rust expressed, but
none has yet appeared. The season does
not seem to have been very favorable for
flax.
OTTER TAIL COUNTY.
FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, July 12.-Wheat
in Otter Tail county promises, as a
whole, to yield an average crop. Towns
and fields vary in quality. II is q
"spotted" crop. Where sown with drills
it is very fine. Wherever horses have
stepped when seeding with broadcast
seeders it stands six inches above the
rest of the field. Wherever wheat came
up it has a heavy growth. The cause Of
complaint is that on account Of drouth
IN the early spring it did not sprout and
heavy winds blew away the seed.
THE BEST FOR YEARS.
FARGO, N. D., July 12.-The present
condition Of the wheat crop in Cas-
county may be said to be the best, with
the possible exception Of 1885, that it hai
been for from six to eight years. In
Cass county little damage was done K
crops by the storm of Monday morning
and Thursday afternoon.

LAND SUITS COMPROMISED.
The Mclaughlin Estate Buys Up Claims
Against a Large Tract.

The Mclaughlin Estate Buys Up Claims
Against a Large Tract.
A dispatch from Stockton states that the
suits of Sebastian Vischer and others against
the estate of Charles Mclaughlin, de.
ceased, to enforce written contract calling
for the transfer of about 100000 acres of
land in what was known as the Moquele-
mos grant, were compromised in San Fran
cisco Monday, the estate purchasing the
interests of the plaintiffs and receiving a
cancellation of the contract. The terms of
the settlement were not made public The
principal case was set for trial in San Fran
cisco to-day.
The contract on which the suit was based
was executed in 1873, between Charles Nc
Laughlin and P. Vischer and W. H. Lyons
now deceased, in which Mclaughlin agreed
to convey to them an immense tract of
land situated in San Joaquin, Alameda,
Santa Clara, Calaveras, Sacramento and
Stanlslaus counties, on condition that
Vischer and Lyons should carry to the COM
pletion of good title any contests as to
the validity Of title and pay besides SIS per
acre.
The land in question, which had ques-
tionable title, was the Moquelemos tract,
an original Mexican grant, which was re-
jected and was afterwards included in the
Government grant to the Western Pacific
Railroad. Mclaughlin acquired the land
from the railroad company for work on
grading contracts.

The Central Pacific is Clear, But No
Trains Are Moving.
Yesterday and last night were unevent-
ful on "the hill" where the snow blockade
is endeavorlng to re- establish itself on the
Central Pacific.
No trains were sent out for the East, but
the delayed west-bound overland, which
was stalled at Reno, came over and passed
through the snow belt all right, reaching
this city last evening.
At last accounts last night the storm was
still raging, without sign of cessation, and
snow continued to fall in great quantities,
while the heavy wind which prevailed
drifted it about badly. The railroad COM
pany, however, taking advantage of its
last experience, has fought the storm stub
bornly, and the result is, so far, that though
no regular trains are passing over the track,
the road has been kept open in the face of
the storm.
The rotary snow-plow is kept constantly
at work at Cascade, going up and down the
track at regular intervals. The push plows
are patrolllng the emainder of the road,
assisted by an army of shovelers.
Gall that we are waiting for" said Chief
Train Dispatcher Thomas Jones to a
REcoRD-UNIoN reporter last night, lis for
the storm to let up. As soon as it does we
will be ready to resume business imme-
diately. The road is clear now, but we
don't propose to take any chances of STALL
ing any trains"
Forty quarters of beef and other provis-
ions left this city last night for the snow

SADLY WRECKED.
One of the Sights Commonly Seen in the
Pnlinn cor.rh

One of the Sights Commonly Seen in the
Police Court.
The name of Rosa Leonard was the only
one which appeared on the Police Court
calender yesterday. The unfortunate
woman looked the picture of misery as she
sat near the dock, her clothing in tatters
and her hair disheveled. She had not been
out of Jail twenty-four hours when she
was arrested, and thus the charge of COM
mon drunk was preferred against her.
Officer Coffey and others testified to her
habits, and said she had no visible means
of support. She had been begging of the
benevolent societies of late, and made so
many promises, without fulfilling them,
that they concluded to aid her no more.
Judge Buckley said he believed the
woman to be clearly guilty of the charge,
but thought that if she would leave town
and go to some hospital or home, she might
possibly be able to reform.
The assured the Court that as soon as she
could obtain the means she would go to
San Francisco to one of the homes, where
she knew they would admit her. Upon
her making a solemn promise to this effect,
Judge Buckley ordered her case continued,
and in the meantime collection will be
taken up among the police officials, new
clothing will be bought the unfortunate
woman, and she will be sent TO San Fran
cisco.
