BELLE CRANDALL.
Our people have felt considerably
discouraged the past week at the
crop prospect. The hot winds and
dry weather have greatly damaged
the wheat crop and it is thought
the average yield in this vicinity
will hardly reach eight bushels per
acre, yet there are fields that may
yield almost full crop. The flax
crop does not seem to be damaged
and the plants are in strong,
healthy condition. Tt is thought
that some Of it will yield Is bushels
per acre.

be an important station and the
headquarters for the road west Of

member of the Walker Implement

farm near Ellendale, about seven
o'clock in the evening, to see how
his wheat crop was coming out, and
while riding along one side Of his
field with his head turned looking
at the wheat, the cart wheel struck
4 large stone and threw him out.
The faithful horse went on a short
distance and turning around went
back to where Mr.. Walker was lying
On the ground. He tried to get up
but found he could not move, being
paralyzed in the back and chest by
the tall. The horse stayed near
him until some time in the night,
when it started home and was found
N the outskirts Of town, by someone
who did not know whose it was, and
lied up till morning when it was
aiken into town to find the owner.
The family started at once in search
If Mr.. Walker, and found him
where he had fallen, having been
to remain there all night
On the ground. He was conscious
wien found but has since been
lelirious and it is feared he cannot
recover. We became well acqualnt-
