Weather and Crops.

During the past week the temperature
was below the normal, the first four
days being very cool for the season ana
reaching the frost line in the northern
portion of the State, the latter portion
of the week being somewhat above the
average temperature. The rainfall was
very light and scattered, the greater
portion of the State being entirely dry.
The number of reports is small, owing
to the quarantine on account OF yellow
fever in portions of the State, but the
tenor of those received goes to show no
change in the crop conditions since the
last report. The cotton crop Will De

shedding, rust, blight, rot, worms ana
premature opening of the hollis. There
are some few favorable reports, how
ever. Picking and ginning continue at
a rapid rate and the bolls are nearly all
open at present. The top crop has been
seriously injured. Cotton picking COM
menced earlier than expected, owing TO
the drouth and heat. Corn and fall
vegetables, turnips, potatoes, peas etc.
have been materially damaged by dry
weather, and are total failure in many
sections. Stock water is very scarce;
streams, springs, wells and cisterns are
failing. The weather has been very
favorable for gathering all crops. The
frost at the beginning of the week was
light, and very little damage resulted
therefrom.

WORK OF BANDITS.
Rock Island Train Held Up and Looted
Near Chickasha, !. T.
Five Masked Men In Broad Daylight Com
pei Section Men TO Flag the Train
Passengers Robbed but Express
Money Not Secured.

WICHITA. Kan, Oct. o.-one OF the
boldest train robberies in the history
of the Indian territory occurred yes
terday forenoon at 1880 on the Rock
Island Just this side of Chickasha, I. I.
The general supposition is that it was
the work of Al Jennings and his gang.
There were five men in the party, and
they all wore masks. They rode over
on horses from the east, and compelled
some section men to flag the south
bound passenger train. The robbers
hid in the brush and had the workmen
covered with their rifles. When the
train stopped one of the robbers
stepped into the cab and covered the
engineer and fireman, while the other
four made for the express car, where
they tried to blow open the through
safe with dynamite. The safe resisted
the dynamite, but the express car was
| blown to atoms. The robbers next
| lined up all the passengers on the out
side of the cars and went through
them, securing about $500 in money
and many watches and diamonds.
The mail bags were rified and all reg
istered packages taken.
Bloodhounds have been sent for,
while deputies have gone in pursuit,
being careful not to obliterate the
trail. A large posse of men from
Chiekasha is following the bandits
closely, while posses from Ell Reno
and other points that could be reached
by telegraph are engaged in an effort
to surround the gang. 1t may be ex-
pected that lively battle will be
fought when the posses come up with
the outlaws. 1t is hardly possible,
from the prairie condition of the coun-
try, that they can escape, unless they
reach the Wichita mountains.
The railroad has been expecting a
holdup of its night train for several
weeks, and heavy guards were placed
on trains at FL Reno and run through
to Chickasha, but no guards were car
ried on day trains, as it was not sup
posed that the bandits were nervy
enough to rob a train in daylight.
While the robbery was in progress
one of the bandits lost his mask, and
the conductor of the train says he rec
ognized him as AL Jennings He is the
man Temple Houston shot in the arm
at Woodward. Ok. about year ago,
when he killed his brother, Ed Jen-
nings, in row. Al jennings is highly
accomplished, a civil engineer and ex-
county attorney of Canadian county,
Ok. For the last few years he has had
a tough reputation with the marshals.
He is said to have killed two men in
Denison, Tex, few years ago, but
was acquitted at that time through
influential friends. All the Jennings
family are we'll known in Kansas,
Oklahoma and eastern Colorado, three
of the boys and the father having
practiced law at various points. The
elder Jennings is now probate judge
of Pottawatomie county, Ok.
