WEATHER AND CROPS.
From the Agricultural Bureau For Okla
hOnaa aud Indian Territory Week
Ending September I6.
THE WEATHER.

THE WEATHER.
The weather during the past week
was repetition OF the week preced-
ing, if anything it has been slightly
hotter, and not a shower of rain
even is reported from the central,
western, northern and southern sec
tions. Heavy rains are reported
from the eastern section, Cherokee,
Creek and eastern ChOctaw Nation,
damaging much hay in shock, and
making the ground so wet and mud
dy that farm work has been inn
practicable.
The average temperature during
the past week has been s2.7; the
normal for the second week in Sep
tember is 72.6, giving US daily av-
erage temperature OF lO.l above nor
NAL.
Highest temperature within the
week, 1O4 degrees at Healdton on
the nth; minimum temperature 6S
at oklahoma City and Purcell on the
18th.
THE CROPS.
The hot dry weather during the
entire week has rapidly matured the
late crops throughout the northern,
western and central sections, aud
facilitated the harvesting of late
broom corn, cane, hay, and forage
crops. The crop Of hay harvesting
is immense, the largest that has ever
been harvested.
The hot dry weather has been cs-
pecially favorable to cotton through
out the central section, the acreage,
however, is small.
Ground everywhere throughout
these three sections is too dry to
plow, most of the fall plowing, how
ever, is completed.
Throughout the central and east
ern portions of the eastern section,
the excessive rains destroyed much
hay in the shock and prevents fur
ther work in this line; while an
abundance has been saved and
housed, yet our correspondents
state that more has been completely
ruined by rains than was made last
year.
Throughout the southern section,
the reports in regard to the cotton
crop are not encouraging. Pastures
are drying up fast, and stock water
/ getting scarce in places.
Ill ~
ports as to cotton:
/ Purcell-Very hot and dry during
/ entire week. Late corn is much
damaged; very little cotton in this
section, but what there is looks fair
I ly well; it is being rapidly put upon
the market.
Ardmore-The past week has been
hot one. Stock suffering for
water, ranges dry enough to burn.
Cotton picking the order of the day
crop is light and one good picking
will about clean it up.
Eastman-Cotton opening prema.
turely under the excessive heat, and
] if no change comes soon results will
/ be anything but good. Boil worms
and sharpshooters in August, and
drouth in September, even a fair
crop cannot be expected.
7 HealdtOn-A hot sultry week, too
much SO for cotton picking, still il
is going on slowly, but the crop is
light.

STORY OF A NEGRO WOMAN
REGARDING THE FRANK LEDGER
MURDER MYSTERY.
LOUISE NOLAN PLACED UNDER ARREST
Charged with Being Implicated with
Thorn, Seeiey, Knowles and Thorpe In
the Atrocious Murder OF Ledgers.
the EngIshmau - The Woman
Tells Rather Weak Tale.
Seeley Denies Her Accusa-

tIons.
The arrest OF w. II. Thorn, president
Of the Oklahoma real estate agency,
and o. C. Seeley, compiler Of "Okla-
homa Illustrated" +" on the charge OF
being implicated in the murder of the
Euglishman, Frank Ledger, mention
of which was made in yesterdays
Leader, created great sensation aud
was the topic Of conversation on tha
streets. Both men were in bed at
Thorn's home when taken by the
sheriff, but neither seemed greatly
perturbed. 1t will be remembered
that Ledger boarded at Thorn's house
and the two were much together. A
few hours after these arrests young
negro woman named Louise Nolan,
who was an inmate of Mrs. Jackson's
house, when Ledger is thought to
have been murdered was taken i'm
custody by the sheriff Under pres
sure she told what she knew regarding
the case, aud was emphatic in declar-
ing that Thorn chioroformed Ledger
She said that both Thorn and Seeley
had often called at the Jackson bag
MO, and that Thorn spoke frequently
of the large amount of money ledger
possessed, that the money was
in local bank and was sub
ject to either Thorn or Ledger's
check. The woman further said that
Thorn, Seeley, Thorpe and Knowles
were at her place the night Ledger
was doped that Thorpe was disguised
IN woman's clothes and that Knowles
remained outside the house: that See
ley, Thorn and Ledger went INTO a
spare room, and locked the door. An
/ hour later all the men had disappeared
and the window of the room was open
/ For some reason the woman is bitter
/ against Thorn and seems to be trying
/ to shield herself and other persons
/ who were inmates of the house at the
time. Thorn vigorously denies No
refuses to talk The theory of the de-
/ tective and Sheriff Painter, who have
up the case is that Thorn and Seeley
1 chloroformed Ledger aud then showed
/ his body out of the bagnio window
to Knowles and Thorpe who threw il
/ into the Cottonwood The story OF tn,
Nolan woman SO far Is very weak IN,
preliminary examination OF Thorn and
/ Seely will be held tomorrow in Jack
sons court.
