WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The week.
ly crop bulletin of the department of
agriculture after speaking at length
of the hot waves Of the past week says
in part: The continued drouths over
the principal corn producing states of
the central valleys and Northwest
states had resulted in great damage
to the corn crop
Very uniavorable reports as to the
condition of the crops are received
from South Dakota, Minnesota, Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma, while less un-
favorable reports come from Illinois
and Ohio, the crop in these states
suffering on the uplands.
III the Southern states corn Is gen.
orally in excellent condition and In
Georgia the heaviest crop for many
years is predicted. Reports as to ths
cotton crop continues very favorable
although some slight injury has re-
suited from local heavy rains in por-
tlons of the Southern states. A cable
message was at once sent to Paris for
the facts of the case although they
were very skeptical about it.

BE DAMN QUICK
ABOUT HANDING OUT THAT CASH
SAID THE FESTIVE RoBBER.
Another Bank In Oklahoma Is Visited byy
the Famous Cook Gang Who Get a
Small Haul-0ns Citizen Killed
and an Outlaw Winged.

GUTHRIE, o. T., July 3l.--As re-
suit of another attempted bank rob-
berry in Oklahoma one citizen is dead
and one outlaw dying and the whole
territory greatly excited. Soon after
10 O'Clock this morning five armed
men rode into Chandler from the easr,
dismounted back of the Lincoln
county bank and three rushed inside,
while two stood guard ut the doors
with winchesters. They covered the
president, Harvey Kee, and his
borther, the cashier, and demanded
that they hand out the cash pretty
d--n quick, while the third rushed
into the private Office, where teller
Hoyt was seriously sick, compelled
him to walk to the safe and attempt
to open il. Though a winchester
was pointed in his face, he could not
stand long enough, but fell to
the floor. The robber Kicked him
and shot at him but missed fire. The
men on guard called out that 1t was
time to go and three grabbed btween
$500 and $500 lying on the counter. In
the meantime the guard at the front
door had shot and killed j. M. Mitch
ell, q barber who attempted to give
the alarm. The bandits
had scarcely passed out of the city
when posse were mounting and
starting in pursuit. Twice were
horses shot from under the fleeing
men, but they compelled farmers com.
ing to town to give up their mounts
and went on. Finally battle was
fought for nearly Is minutes, when
one of the ROBBERS fell, shot through
the hips, and the others scattered and
escaped in the hills of the creek coun.

name as Ernest Lucas, aged 81, says
the others were the notorious Cook
gang and he had been with them but

The injured are: G. H. Rudd, scalp
wound and badly bruised, will recov-
or; William Kerr slightly injured
about the head and body. All Of the
dead and wounded were employed by
the Western Electric company. They
had been engaged In blasting rock In
the Dolz & Shepard quarries nearly
two months. Yesterday morning G.
HI. Rudd, who was in charge OF the
men, brought q new invention for
blasting purposas to the yards and
announced that he would make an
experiment at noon. His men were
standing about him when charge of
giant powder was placed in hole
which had been drilled into the rock.
In some manner unknown the rowder
became ignited and terrific explo-
sion followed.
The explosion was heard for nearly
two miles around, and In very short
time hundreds of men, women and
children crowded into the quarry.
Frank Corbin was terribly mangled.
A portion of his left leg was torn from
the body and was found nearly 100
feet ON where his body lay. Scott
Clark and his con Richard, were
found lying near together. The elder
Clark suffered intensely before his
death, which occurred on the way to
the hospital Richard Clark was
killed instantly. A large cash on his
forehead was the only wound found.
II appears that he was struck by
flying piece of stone. The explosive
was an invention of Mr.. Riggs, which
he called "Ruddy"

Big Land Suit Filed.

LITTLE Rock, July s1,-A suit has
been filed in the office of the United
States circuit clerk of the eastern
district of Arkansas, which attacks
the validity Of title to all vested rights
of citizens of the city of hot springs.
The suit is brought by the heirs of
Don Juan Filhiot, an old Spanish
grandee, against the Arlington hotel
company of Hot Springs, for the re-
covery of land upon which the hotel
stands, and for damages in the sum of
500, 900. The land In question is a
portion of one square league with tine
hot water springs as the center and
the claim embraces all the land upon
which the city of Hot.Springs stands.
Judgment in favor of the plaintiffs
would establish q precedent which
would eventuate in the absorption by
the heirs-in-law of Filhiot of all the
property in and about Hot Springs,
including the United States perma-
nent reservation. There is competent
legal opinion given that the claims
set up will not prove sufficiently
strong to permit the property to pass
from the hands of the government
and those of the people whose patent
and titles is from the government.

Special to The Statesman.
TExARKANA, Tex, July 3O.-The
congressional convention of this (the
Fourth) district, which meets here to-
morrow, promises to be very inter-
esting and protracted affair. Judge
David B. Culberson. who has held the
position for the past IS years, is not a
candidate, and those seeking to succeed
him are Judge John L. Sheppard of
Pittsburg, State S nator j. N. Gran
ford of Sulphur Springs and Jake
Hodges OF Paris. There are 43 votes
in the convention, divided by county
instructions heretofore given as fol-
lows: Crawford, 90; Sheppard, 16;
Hodges. a. Twenty.seven at least
will be necessary to a choice, even in
the event that majority rule prevails,
but it is very possible the two thirds
rule may be adopted. In any event a
prolonged struggle is looked for, and
at present it looks as if a deadlock
might be the outcome. All the can
didates and roster of the delegates,
besides hundreds of visitors, friends OF
the candidates are already here. When
seen this afternoon all the candidates
expressed themselves as confident.
