HUNTINGTON, w. VA, August IA
For some time past the United States
authorities have been after desperate
character named Joseph Taylor, who
lives In Putnam county. but so FAR ne
has evAded arrest. he is wanted for
Illicit retailing, and though two deputy
marshals have been sent after him they
have in both instances returned empty
handed and slightly injured. DepIty
United States Marshal Cole was the
latest officer sent TO bring Taylor TO
the city, and before he started was told
OF the dangerous character OF the man.
who is continually armed, and is very
seldom seen out of his house, an
old and dllapidated log structure, with
windows so arranged that an excellent
view is given in everV direction. In
this way the marshaps approach was
easily discovered few days ago, and
the latter, who left :he station at Scot
with deputy we'll acquainted with the
surroundings, had little idea OF what
was IN store for him, but had no sooner
knocked at the door than his thoughts
changed, for he heard on the inside
noise that indicated that those
within were getting ready. lie
pushed the door in, only to be met
with the muzzle OF revolver In Tsylors
hand, and the latter seeing Cole reach
Ing for his gun discharged the weapon
so that the powder burned the officers
face and the bullet went ia close prox-
unity 90 his head. At the same time
two fierce dogs were let loose on Cole,
who by this time had started to shoot
and the bullets flew about promiscu-
ously. Taylor and the woman having oy
this time barricaded the doors and APP
peared at the windows ready 10 shoot.
Cole is a brave man but be saw that be
had little chance there and be got away
from the place. One OF the women was
shot In the feshy part Of the arm dur
ing the battle, and 1t was reported that
Taylor had been wounded, but this has
never been confirmed. An effort Will
be made by a number OF deputies, 1t Is
said, TO apprehend Taylor as soon as
this affair blows over.

The Present DrOuth Creating ConsIdsrA-
bic Soherfag-WheAt Turning Out
Well
SDsetsG 70 tAs Rs7s5,s-.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, August IA
weather and crop bureau is made public
to-day:
GENERAL SUMMARY: The drOuth that
has prevailed over the greater portion
of the State during the past few weeks
is conceded to be one OF the worst ever
known. Many springs and wells are
dry; springs have failed that have pre-
ViouSly never given out; people and
stock suffer for want of water, which,
in many instances, has TO be hauled
from q considerable distance. 10 the
immediate vicinity Of Parkersburg the
conditions are not nearly so dlscOurag
ing, owing 10 the occasional showers
that fell during the week; q fact, the
drouth has not as yet been severe over
this locality as compared with others;
this is also partly true OF eastern and
southern counties; elsewhere the situa-
tiOn is indeed serious. Several good
showers fell during the week, but they
were mostly local in character and lily
Adstributed; the 6routh practically con-
Rinues in portions OF northern, western
Apd central counties. Temperature
IS generally above, sunshine about
kage.
REALS AND GRASSES: Wheat
Sng continues, turns out fairly
al BON as TO quantity and quality.
Bats wefN short but turned out well
when thrNshed. The lack OF rain has
given bucENheat backset. Grass al
most completely burned out, but in a
few localities showers were beneficial.
Meadows bare and dry. Corn nearly
beyond redemption, is 10 pretty fair
shape on most bottom lands, but that
on hill soil is generally too far gone and
badly wilted; even under the most
favorable circumstances from now on
corn will be far below the average as
crop.
VEGETABLES: Early potatoes penti-
ful but small, and the yield is generally
unSatiSfact0{y; late potatoes are now in
bad condition. many plants dead. Very
large sowing OF turniDS. Gardens
while very Hight and in bad shape were
kept alive by the occasional showers
that fell. Some gardens In drouth az
1ected districts will never recover this
season; truck promises 10 be scarce.
FRUIT; Grapes still in fair condition
aud promise a good yield. Apples con-
tinue falling from trees.
