 Crops in Henry.-The crop prospects, which were so promising fifteen days ago, have been greatly damaged by the heavy and continuous rains. Corn on sandy land fired right badly and cotton has not fruited like it would, with just moderate seasons. Besides the grass has got firm hold on some crops and it's likely will go to seed there. The corn is not hurt so bad though, but with mod crate seasons it will make a fine crop. But the cotton has turned yellow, and the chances are that it will not make much. Other crops that have been kept clean of grass, such as ground peas, field peas, potatoes and cane. are as good as we ever saw them.--Abbeville Times

Morris was called to the stand and told his story regarding the treatment al- legged to have been received at the'hands of the defendants. He recited with re- markable accuracy the same story told when the warrants were sworn MT. Powers then went on the stand and gave his version of the story, which was that he shot Morris for stealing chickens from him. He then introduced witnesses to prove that he was at home at the time Morris alleged he was in the mountains, several miles away The matter was con- sidered by Justice Wynn, who decided that Powers was innocent, and accord

\ MUCHLY MARRIED MAN
Remarkable Estate Case Decided in
Colorado
geny of Each Do Battle for His
Little Fortune

DENVER, COL, June IA special to
the News from Greeley, Colo, says:
A most remarkable case was decided in
the district court here today. David
Henry came to Greeley in 1870 and in
vested in lands now worth $4,000. He
married Mrs. Calsta Evans in 1878 and
died in 1890. his wife dying eight days
later. The estate was entered fol- probate.
The case now decided was brought by
the heirs of Susan Henry, who claims
tnat she was married to Henry in Mis-
souri, in ls49, HAVING two children by
him and that the children, by the laws of
Missouri. are entitled to one-half of the
estate. During the progress of this case
there appeared tn heirs of still another
wife, claiming marriage to Henry in
California in 1889.
In answer the Missouri heirs set fo1 tn
that the California wife was divorced in
1873, but in turn they set up the claim
that Missouri common law marriage
did not hold in Colorado, and on this
point Judge Boughton agreed, dismissing
the case of the Missouri heirs. The con-
cusion of the matter will nov be COM
promise between the heirs of the Califor-
MIA and Colorado heirs.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 4.-The trial

man, and Shultz had been seen the day
previous to the murder in the vicinity of
McNary's camp with a double barrel ed

SENATOR BLACKBURN
Campaigning in kentucky-Carlisie Taken to
Task About Silver

Task About silver
FRANKFORT, Ky, June H.-Senator
Blackburn addressed large audience
here tonight. He said he hoped it would
not be necessary for HIM to speak to his
neighbors as he had defended himself
against lies and ISLANDERS elsewhere.
Every newspaper wearing the collar of its

Senator Lindsay told him last night that

Carlisle was taken TO task for saying he
had never favored free and unlimited
coinage. He sat by his side and thought
he heard him vote for the silver bill in
Novemb Der, 1873, and vote and speak for
the acts OF 1890, and he would give the
best mem Der OF his body If Carlisle had
not been the abest advocate of free and
unlimited coinage of silver. But Brutus
tells you that he had not and surely
Brutus is an honorable man.
Carlisle said in his speech there was

1892 and 1873, while the truth is there
was $40, QUO, 600 of silver money coined.

slim There are few who believe that such
a conference will be held this year. and
many express the opinion that it will be
postponed indefinitely.
The action of the minority OF the Ger
man federal govrnments, when is report
ed to have been adverse to the bimetallic
movement, is the principal basis for this
opinion. Chancellor Hohenlohe is known
to be opposed TO the silver movement.
and the most that he ever promise d
Count Mirbach, and others who have been
pressing upon the German government
the propriety OF Cermany's taking the in
itiative in calling the conference, was
that he would consider the question in
connection with, theldlfferent state govern
ments of the empire, and now that these
appear to have spoken against silver. it is
intimated that the chancellor probably
had a shrewd idea of the possible result,
and adopted as political device to avoid
assuming direct responsibility Oh ques
tion on which ne could count upon the
support of only portion of his cabinet,
upon which the country at large is not
united, and upon which the emperor has
maze no declaration. Hence the belief
that unless the German bimetallists can
succeed in arousing the direct interest OF
Emperor William they will find it neces-
sary to give up the prospect of securing
an international action through con-
ference called by that government. Some
of the advocates of an international
movement who have pinned their faith to
Germany. profess to believe that the en-
peror may be brought to take the matter
in hand, but the prevailing opinion is
that he will not interfere.
Still another obstacle is discovered in
the attitude of England and in the un-
derstanding that Germany is likely to be
largely influenced by that nation. 1t is
remembered that some of the German
bimetallistsD themselves have declared that
it was lnexpedient to take any steps with
out the cooperation of England. and il
has been made very clear by Sir William
HarcouIt that while the present govern
ment remains in power in England there
will be no encouragement by that country
of q change from the gold standard.
