The Dakota Crons.

The weather bureau at Huron gives crop
reports from fifteen North and thirty-one
South Dakota counties. In almost every
locality the injury by the frost is shown to
be less than at first reported Corn. fax

very small. Threshing is in full blast. The
Weld of wheat and oats is from 10 to 20 per
cent greater than estimated.

Happenings of General Interest in the
Prosperous Commonwealth.
Three well known farmers named
Schager, Knutson and Olson, living near
Harrington, are in a very precarious con-
dition as the result OF taking u friendly nip
from bottle belonging to Dennis O'Fla-
herty, n wealthy and we'll known ranch
owner and stock raiser. O'Flaherty claims
he had two bottles, one containing alcohol
and the other bedbug poison, and in some
way presented the one containing the more
virulent poison. Two of the men, Olson
and knutson. drank q liberal portion of the
liquid, but Mr.. Schager put it to his lips and
after a moment returned it to OFlahcrty
with the remark that there was something
wrong. The men say that O'Flaherty had
but one bottle and intimate that the poison
ing was intentional. tt is understood that
a warrant will be issued for the arrest OF
O'Flaherty and that he will be held to await
the result of the mems illness. He has
hitherto borne an excellent reputation and
his friends are loath to believe him guilty
of purposely poisoning his neighbors.
Explaining "a Mysterious Disappearance.
About three years ago William Finn. son
of a well-known farmer of Hendricks pre-
cinct, Otoc county, Neb., mysteriously
disappeared. No trace could be discovered
OF the young man until last week, when his
father received a letter which stated that
young Finn had been robbed and MUIR
dered in Nebraska City by three compan-
IONS The letter went on to state that after
the murder the body was buried at the
corner of Central avenue and Third street.
The murderer first removed a large wood
pile, dug grave. dumped Flinn's body in,
shoveled in the dirt and replaced the wood
over the grave. Mr.. Finn at first thought
the letter was hoax, but finally decided to
look for the skeleton of his son. Three men
went to work and dug several large holes in
the vicinity of the place described in the
letter without result. Mr.. Films unknown
correspondent says if the search is fruitless
he will write again.
