CROP REPORTS.
Report Of The Department of Agriculture on
Growing Grain.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The June report
Of the Department of Agriculture makes the
area in winter wheat as compared with that
harvested last year, 111,5; spring wheat,
1884; barley, 107.1; rye, 1918; oats, 979.
The condition Of winter wheat is $3.50;
spring wheat, 92.6; barley, 9O.3; rye, 95.4 :;
oats, So.
The reduction last year Of more than
100000 acres suggests reason for most of
the present increase. This is an advance,
therefore, both in replacement and develop
ment. The former is notable in Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas and California; the latter
in less degree in Washington, Oregon, the
DakotaS and In several Territories
The extension OF acreage, according to
correspondents, depends on the price OF
wheat and not on the available land. A
large increment of wheat breadth is reported
in Washington. 4 large amount OF new land
Is being broken for the next years crop, and
local opinion Is expressed that not more
than One-hfth OF the wheat land in the new
State is under cultivation.

clined only per cent. The average is New

EpeCialt TO THE MORNING CALI.

BRIDGEPORT, June 1O.-A few weeks ago
a Walker River Indian of the Piute tribe,
named Poker Tom, came here and pur-
chased some calico and spent two nights
gambling with Cinnamon. The second
night was spent at All Tia's store, and that
was the last seen Of Tom. On the 1st of
June delegation Of Indians from the
Walker River Reservation and Bodie and
other Indians came here looking for him,
and stated that his horse had reached home
without saddle CT bride, a search resulted
in both being found, together with the
calico purchased by Poker Tom, in the
fields north Of the town. The river was
fshed for the body, but without result,
although a reservation oYercOat was found
on one Of the banks.
The Indians thereupOa summoned all the
Indians of their neighborhood to hold
court, suspicion fixing itself upon All Tia as
the cause Of Toms disappearance. The
Chinaman denied having played cards with
Poker Tom, but five Indians declared that
they went TO All Tia's store on the night in
question, and being unable to enter on &C
count Of tie door being locked looked
through a hole in the window curtain and
saw the Chinaman and Poker Tom playing
cards The following day, when the court
convened, the wife Of an Indian known as
Lundy testified that LuEdy, Tom and three
other Indians were intoxicated on the day
in question, and that they must have killed
Poker Tom. Il was asCeTtaiued that I4undy
bad left his wife for some reason and that
she had been keeping company with An
Tia, so that 1t was inferred by some that the
latter had induced her TO testify in his be-
half.
The Walker River Indians threatened to
proceed against the Mono Lake Indians.
and stated that they would have Sheriff
Cody take Lundy and Mono Tom 10 the

were found TO be blood stains. Sheriff Cody
also found UUilet-hUle through one Of the
walls, and the stains covered by new wall

by red ink.
On Saturday Poker Toms BODY was
discovered in the river by some Indians
who were fishing. The head and arms had
been cut off, ana also the legs The trunk
was sawed open from the neck to the pit Of
the stomach. The Indians were greatly

Boiler on a Ranch.
SACRAMENTO, June 10.-TheTe was a ter
rife boiler explosion on A. Menke's ranch,
a short distance beyond Perkins Station, at
o'clock Monday afternoon. a pump had
been placed in position beside the American
River with which to raise water to iTrigate
the hop-felds, and an engine and thrashing-
machine boiler Of the largest size were. to
furnish the power. Just as everything was
~ position and fire built the dinner bell
sounded, and Mr.. Menke ordered the crew
e. lunch. The fire was banked, and after a
hurried dinner all the hands started back
for the engine. Mr. Menke and his son
William were in a buggy and took the lead
When within short distance Of the pump
ing works they stopped to water their horse.
This undoubtedly saved their lives. They
were speaking Of the boiler and had their
gaze directed that way when. without a
moments notice, it exploded. A portion Of
the boiler cut of a tree more than a foot in
diameter as smoothly as It could have been
done with a saw, and another flying missile
separated the same tree higher up. The
main portion of the boiler, weighing several
tons, was hurled a distance of two blocks.
A large box Of tools and many timbeTs were
blown into the river, and the irrigating
tTOughs were wrecked for some distance.
Had the explosion occurred two minutes
later and after the men had cOngregated
about the boiler there would certainly have
been an appalling loss OF life,
