hattering crop condition. No coun-
ties report a prospective wheat yield

al claim 20 bushels. An average of
Is bushels would call for a so ,OOO. O0O-
bushel crop. The reports from rye.
barley, flax and potatoes are entirely
favorable, and corn is promising

weather. Mcleod county reports an
increase of 100 per cent in the pota-
to acreage. Polk county claims TO-
700 additional acres of flax. Rock
county increases the corn acreage 30
per cent. Wright and Otter Tail
counties think the wheat acreage is
unchanged, because of new land I'M

ports an increase of 20 per cent acre

THE MOB REFUSED.
Looks Like the Sheriff Had Armed His Pris-
 OnprS.

Jackson. Tenn, Sept 17.-Word reached here this morning of the unsuccessful at- tempt of a mob to take Harrison Fuller and Frank Simpson, negroes, confined in the Henderson county jail at LeXing- ton, for attempting to outrage the widow Pomeroy and her 16-year-old daughter on the night of July II. Between midnight and daylight the men went to the jail, broke open the doors and on reaching the cell the negroes opened fire on them, seriously wounding Hugh Cook and slightly wounding a man named Jones and a man named Joiner. The shooting caused them to disband. The excite ment is intense and serious trouble is expected at any minute. It is rumored in this city that crowd will leave here tonight for Lexington. After the mob had been repulsed it became furious and would have killed the sheriff and burned the jail but for the persistent appeals of bystanders. Last advices were that the prisoners would be removed to a safer place.
