MRS. sEARcEY DIVORCED.

Mrs. E. n. Searcey, wife of G. J.
searcey, the self-confessed Aqua creek
train robber, has been granted di-
vorce, as the following taken from the
Dallas (Texas) Neaos shows
"E. II. Searcey ys. G. ]. Searcey-
Divorce granted PLAINTIFF ground OF
abandonment. Care and custody OF
minors, Vivian and Ruth Searcey, and
lot of land described in plaintiffs petit
ton, adjudged to be the separate part
of plaintiff. Sam T. Watts allowed a
fee of $40 to be taxed as costs against
plaintiff
The Fredericksburg Star says The
announcement of the divorce will no
doubt wildly recall to our readers all
connected with that noted case, and
though the robbers are now safe within
the walls of our State prison the Star,
as it did from the time of the robbery
to their arrival at the penitentiary, will
continue to give any facts that can be
obtained, concerning the robbery or the
bandits.
It will be remembered by our readers
that Searcey, during an interview with
the Star representative just before he
was taken to Richmond, gave a brief
sketch of his pal, Morgan. saying
among other things that while he
(Searcey) was in Velasco, Texas, plot
was made to rob the National Bank
of that city and Morgan was the leader
of the gang. Their failure to do so he
said was due to his discovering their
plan and notifying the officers. In
confederation of his story, he gave the
name of the president of the bank
which he said was Mr.. Irving. We
then addressed letter to that bank
and in reply received the following: .
"This bank was not organized until
1891. r. T. Ewing was cashier and j.
M. Moore. president. Searcey was
Deputy Marshal at that time. Don't
think there was any plan to rob the
bank. It was only scheme of Searcey's
to victinize the bank out of money by
putting them on to the plot. The
parties whom he accused of being con-
nected with the plot, made him leave
town.
1--WE know of no one by the name of
Morgan connected with it."
In the same interview Searcey also
stated that while in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, Morgan, who was then going
by the name of Harding, killed man
over game of cards, and in response
to a letter addressed to the Chief Of
Police, of that place we received the
following:
"Your letter making enquiries about
one Harding to hand.
81 have made diligent search for the
information and find that man named
Harding, killed man named Carr,
about twelve or thirteen years ago, in
this city.
"The cause of the killing was gam
bling row and from what little I can
learn it was cold blooded murder, but
owing to lax administration of the
law at that time, nothing was done to-
wards furnishing the murderer"

RAIN STILL FALLS STEADILY.
California North of San Luis Obispo Liable
to Increasing Floods.

San Francisco, Jan. Grain is still
falling at every point in California
north of San Luis Obispo. Heavy rains
are reported in the Sacramento VAL
ley and the river is rising steadily. AT
Red Bluff it was 221s feet above low
water mark at noon-a rise or 312 feet
since last night. The water now in
sight will carry the twenty-six feet at
Sacramento by Thursday morning.
There are now 175 square miles sub
merged in the valley.
The storm which has steadily in
creased in severity is one of the worst
of a bad season. The water in all riv-
ers and streams is higher than for
many years. Local trains in many 10
calities are at a standStill. In the
mountains the snow is twenty feet deep
on the level in many places. 1t fills up
the ravines, weighs down branches of
trees and is imprisoning mountain set
tiers who are suffering for want of nee
essary supplies, roads having been i'm
passable for days. Great damage has
been done to farms by rain and gales.
In a heavy freshet on the klamath riv-
er another drowning occurred. that of
a wealthy Chinese miller who was
swept away by the torrents. The town
of Napa is flooded, rivers coursing
down through the streets. Many resi-
dents Were taken from their houses in
boats to higher ground. Half of the
town is still practically submerged and
the rain continues to fall steadily.

CONDITION OF THE WHEAT.
Report of the Farmers Review for Ten In
terror states,

Chicago. Jan. 22-The Farmers Re
view tomorrow will print reports from
its correspondents in ten states on the
condition of wheat and the winter sup
ply.
In Illinois the crop has generally gone
into winter quarters in fair condition
though having obtained small growth
in some counties. Wherever it is COW
cred with snow the prospects are good.
Some counties report ground frozen
hard with no snow covering it. In such
cases injury TO the plant is feared.
In Indiana the plant is doing well and
is generally covered with snow.
Ohio reports generally good condi-
tons. In many counties no large
growth has been made but this small
growth is enough to start it well in the
spring provided no disaster overtakes
it. The snow covering is good.
In Michigan the crop is in fair shape
but too lightly covered with snow in
some localities. A few correspondents
report conditions as poor but generally
no great damage has been sustained
Kentucky reports the crop in good
condition having been generally protect
ed. The start in some counties was
poor but the plant seems improving.
In Missouri the conditions vary great
". Considerable damage is reported
from drouth and poor snow protection.
The plant got a slow start in a number
of counties and has not improved much
since The general average is fair
In Kansas the condition is generally
good though many western counties re
port injury by drouth. In some fields
the grain did little more than sprout.
Nebraska reports condition fair but
plant needs rain in many counties
Iowa conditions vary greatly, all
kinds of conditions being found. 1t will
average about fair.

THEY'RE FOND OF SCOTT.
Territorial Bar Association Passes Resolu-
9iOns In the Judges Favor.

Guthrie, 0. T. Jan. 22.-(Special)-
The Logan county bar association met
this afternoon in the district court room
to pass certain resolutions relative to
Henry W. Scott, judge of the Third jul
dicial district. Harper Cunningham of
this city, its president, presided and 5.
II. Harris of Perry acted as secretary.
Those not in sympathy with the meet
ing denominated it whitewash con-
vention similar to the one gotten up
once before.
While some declare there is no such
thing as territorial bar association,
the meeting was denOminated as such
and the resolutions adopted were signed
as emanating from such.
The meeting was gotten up hastily on
the finding out that Judge NJ. Newton
had been sent down from Washington
to look into the trouble between the
people of the Third judicial district and
Judge Scott. There was a large num-
Der of lawyers present from all over the
territory, but the friends of Judge Scott
outnumbered the opposition ten to one.
This is said to be accounted for by the
fact that while the first public call for
the meeting appeared in the papers in
this city last evening, Scott'S friends
were notified a number of days ago by
wire and letter. This gave no chance
for the opposition to come out as they
did not generally know il.
The meeting was a contentious one
and j. L. Brown county attorney of Ok
lahoma county, who attempted to read
some of Scott's record. and Frank Nc
Master, the former editor of the Ga
zette, were both shut off by the opposi-
ton although it was greatly in the ma
jority. The question came up, Was the
bar association attempting to prevent
an investigation? and was argued pro
and con with wildness. Even Joseph
WHISKY saw that such would be the pur
port of the resolutions about to be
rushed through, and got in an amend
ment to the effect that the bar associa-
ton courted the fullest investigation,
before he would support them. AS the
resolutions, however, now appear they
read like an exoneration. The only sat-
isfaction the opposition who We're out
stripped and outnumbered had. was
the knowledge that the inspector, who
was present. could judge of the quality
of the resolutions by the manner in
which they were gotten. Similar reso-
lutions had been ador'ed by the Okla
homa bar association and the friends
of that measure were almost all present
