about 100000 bushels for Minnesota. From gen

that produced a fair crop and some along in other
Places while the northern central portions do not

probably exceed ten and one-half bushels. In North
Dakota there is some heavy grain and some
light In the northern portion of the State
wheat is expected to yield twenty bushels
in large areas while little south Of there and west
portions very light. In the Red River Valley there
IS large amount of good wheat that will probably
reach fifteen bushels, while in Ramsay and some other
counties 1t will not probably reach more than seven
bushels, but the most widely cultivated regions are
where the grain Is better and that state will probably

NEAT CAPTURE OF OUTLAWS.
An Ex.Deputy Marshal of Kentucky Gets the
Drop on Two Murderers and Brings Them In.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. s-James p. Giles. an
ex-deputy marshal, to-day reported the
capture of the men who, on Monday even
ing, assassinated James L. Middleton near
Harlan courthouse. Giles was with Mid
dletOn when murdered. Middleton was
one of the wealthiest men in that section
and Giles says he was killed on account of
an old quarrel over lands, and not because
he was q witness in the trial of Will Jen-
nings.
Giles and Middleton were riding quietly
along when they saw something unusual by
boughs from which. moment later. sheet
of flame and smoke sprang. Middleton
dropped over dead, but Giles escaped Sus-
picion of the murder of Middleton fastened
upon the members of the Howard gang
On Wednesday q posse captured VIM. Nc
Graw, EnOs Scott and James Howard. and
they were held upon the evidence presented.
That night, as Giles was returning from
Harlan. he stopped at a negro saloon to
collect debt. There he found Granville
Fee and Wilson Scott, both heavily armed.
Scott was under indictment for a murder
committed six months ago, and Fee was sus-
pected of taking part in killing Middleton.
He made himself at home with the men.
Scott was lying on a bed with his Win
chester beside him. Giles, in q jocular
way, offered him drink, and as Scott
turned the bottle to his lips Giles seized the

Little Likelihood of the Lake Shore or Other
Vanderbilt Roads Having Trouble.
CHICAGO, Aug. photographic announce
ments of the strike on the New York
Central were shown at 10 P. NJ. tonight to
the train-dispatcher of the Lake Shore
here. The Lake Shore is Vanderbilt
road, but the dispatcher said there had
been no intimatioD of any trouble what
ever on the line thathe was aware Of. The
Eastern trains had arrived all right, and
tickets East had been sold right along.
Engineers in the employ of the Nickel
plate another Vanderbilt road, were ques-
toned at about the same hour. They were
equally surprised at the news of the strike
on the New York Central. It was their
first intimatiOn of any trouble. The
Nickel-plate engineers spoken to were of
the opins0n that the strike in the East
would not affect the Vanderbilt lines West.
On the Nickel-plate the engineers are
bound by the terms not to engage in q
strike.
The Northwestern people were equally In
the dark as to the situation, but said that
even if, as reported, the strike was ordered
by member of the national executive
board of the Knights of Labor, it could
only seriously affect the passenger business
of their overland limited" On this train
large proportion of the tickets presented
by passengers called for transportation
over the "Vanderbilt" system. The
would. of course. refuse to carry passen-
gers having these tickets The Michigan
Central people simply knew nothing about
the matter
