A FIGHT TO The DEATh.

GUTHRIE. o. T., May 21-A courier from
Deep Fork brings the particulars con-
cerning desperate encounter of deputy
marshal, sing handed, with two horse
thieves in which both of the latter were
killed and the deputy mortally wounded.
Deputy United States Marshal Z. ID.
Drake met with William Hostetter aud
William Miller, who have been wanted
for horse-stealing for over two years.
Drake. knowing that they were wanted,
upon meeting them, told them to surren-
der. Immediately both men drew their
revolvers, shooting Drake through the
thigh and killing his horse. Drake used
his Winchester, and when the men started
to run, Drake fired, killing Hostetter
Miller halted and returned the fire,
hitting Drake in the side and knocking
him down. Drake, still lying on the
ground, took aim at Miller, and at a dis
tance of 200 yards, shot him through the
heart Drake crawled to where the des-
peradoes had their horses tied, and. secur-
ing one, went for help. He was taken to
Sepulpa where his mother resides, and
where he is being tenderly nursed. The
bodies of the outlaws were taken to the
railroad station and their fathers tele-
graphed to. The latter removed the bodies
to Golden City, Mo-, for burial. Hostetter
AMI Miller were two of the most desperate
horse thieves that ever roamed the west
ern border.

GLOOMY CROP PROSPECTS.

COLUMBIA, No, May 2l.-The weekly
crop bulletin of the Missouri state board
of agriculture says that the prevailing
weather conditions of this week were ex-
cessive rainfall, and deficient tempera-
ture and sunshine, except in the north
east section, where the outlook improved
slightly. The rainfall has been excessive
in the greater portion Of the state. Crop
conditions may be summarized as follows:
About oDe-tenth of the corn aera Is planted
and most of that is rotting. Low land
wheat, oats and meadows are either
under or soaked with water, and little
or no return is expected therefrom. Pas
lures are becoming soft and cattle are be-
ginning to suffer. Fruit is sure to suffer
from stem drop on account of the contin-
ued cold and wet weather. and much of
the crop was severely injured by the high
wind on the 18th. Some potatoes, beans
and other garden truck are up, but most
of the plants are rottiug. Heavy damage
TO and loss of crops, stock, fencing and
buildings by the flood has been general

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
WASHINGTON, May 2l-The weather crop
| bulletin issued by the United States
weather bureau says:
"The season continues cool and back
ward throughout all the agricultural dis
| tricts, although IL is rapidly recovering IN
the southern states and along the Atlantic
coast. From the central Mississippi val
ley westward to the Rocky mountains the
daily temperature for the entire period
from the lst of March has range from 3 de-
grees to 5degrees below the normal, and
to-dav's report shows unusually cold
weather for the season in that region. Ex-
cessive rains continue throughout the cen
trail valleys, attended by destructive floods,
resulting in the loss of many lives and
great damage to crops in the Mississippi
and Missouri valleys, the most serious
losses being reported fIom Arkansas and
western Iowa, while the conditions con-
tinue threatening in the lower Mississippi
valley.
Over the greater portion of the wheat
region the rainfall has exceeded the
average by more than two inches, and in
the Arkansas valley the actual rain fall
was from four to six inches. The Pacific
coast was favored with well distributed
rains from central California northward
to Oregon and Washington. The rain fall
for the season from March TO date has
been excessive. In the spring wheat region
more than double the usual amount has
fallen and from Ohio and Kentucky west
ward to Nebraska and Kansas there has
been from 30 to so per cent more than the
usual amount of rain. The drouth con-
tinues in northern Florida, where the sea
sons rainfall has been one-f1fth of the
usual amount, but the prospects are that
that region will be favored by rain today"

unanimous, and apparently cannot be

port, and it will be in favor of The appel

nority stated that not only was the COM
mittee not likely to agree in its findings,
but that it is likely to be quite discordant
in its recommendations. The question at
present to be considered is, not the merits
of the case. but the technicalities involved.
A prominent official contends that the on y
question to be decided by the committee is
whether an appeal is in order; to report
the findings; to arrange the papers, and to
prescribe the mode OF procedure,
