and his residence at no particular place,
but lately on the California coast. The
name is doubtless correct, $ he has In his
possession "A deed for piece Of property In
Washington Territory, which he says he
bought with his earnings before he stared
east, last fall. It, may be, however, that
the narer was stolen by him.
Field says that his action on Wednesday
was In self-defense, that when he went to
work tor Lawrence 10 was with the under
standing that, IL he understood the
work, he was TO have employment; that
after working awhile, Lawrence COM
menced ta find fault with his work; words
followed, and finally, Lawrence ordered
him TO leave, emphasizing the order by
Attacking Him with n Pitchfork.
Fields says he dodged the attack as well
as he could. and, in running around
wagon in the barn, he stumbled over
rock. which he picked up aud used to de-
fend himself with.
The 80 shots which Fields received In his
left side bothered him great deal, and lie
was several times on the point of giving
himself up. but he heard guns fired and
thought he might be lynched IL he sur
rendered He could hear men hunting for
him, and once man stood within two
feet of him In the woods.
His wounds bothered him so that Satur-
day night he made uo his mind that he
Could Stand IL No Longer,
and, knowing that he was being looked
for, he walked into shoemaker's shop In
Gilbertville to buy a pair of shoes. The
shoemaker thought he was the man
wanted and sent his son for an officer.
Mr.. Lawrence Is improving and hopes
are entertained for his recovery. Those
who know Mr.. Lawrence do not believe
That he first assaulted the negro.

GRANITE STATE CROPS

Little Rain

CONCORD, N. H.. July 24-Secretary
Batchelder, Of the state board of agricul-
ture, expresses fears respecting the effect
OF the prevailing drought upon the crops
Of the state. Hay is harvesting a large
yield, and the crops will, in the aggregate,
considerably over weigh that of last year,
though in some localities some complaint
Is made Of shortage.
The apple crop will be very light,
mainly because IL is an OF year, and also
because the orcharding has increased
Corn is suffering from the drought aud IL
very uneven. Potatoes are doing finely
and promise yield quite as good, II not
better. than last year. Rain must fail
soon, however. or the results will fail to
meet present prospects. All kinds OF grain
are looking very we'll Streams are getting
low all over the state, and farmers are be
ginning to report scarcity Of water.

DANGEROUS cAvE-IN.

). IL. CIa'k's Buiidingi Came Near Going
Into the Conant Buildings Cellar.
Saturday night the tenants OF the j. Ii.
Clark building were startled by the
structure suddenly lurching toward Park
Place.
As such action was entirely out of place
for a decorous and well behaved structure
OF the age of the Clark block, everybody
was naturally frightened and this fear led
to an investigation.
A careful examination revealed the fact
that those In charge OF excavating for the
cellar OF the Conant building had dag
down below the foundation walls of the
Clark building and had not braced the
mason work at all.
Not enough OF the wall gave way to
cause any damage, but care was taken
that it should not happen again.
